The irony of having no internet connection, Is that all of a sudden you have more time then you thought on your hands. What better time then to spend it reading or just chilling with the Almighty. Free time is honestly a boon and should be used wisely. Then theres always the inside joke associated with busy (BUSY = Bound Under Satans Yoke). But anyways hope you enjoy whats below. Blessed Quietness Joys are flowing like a river Finding peace
Since the Comforter has come.
He abides with us forever,
Makes the trusting heart his home.
Blessed quietness, holy quietness,
What assurance in my soul!
On the stormy sea He speaks peace to me,
How the billows cease to roll! Blessed Quietness
Manie Payne Ferguson (1850-?)
But when the Father sends the Counselor as my representative—and by the Counselor I mean the Holy Spirit—he will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I myself have told you. I am leaving you a gift—peace of mind and heart.… John 14:26-27 NLT
On the stormy sea of Galilee, Jesus commanded the winds and waves, "Peace, be still" (Mark 4:39), and immediately there was calm. And later in the upper room, as Jesus told His disciples that He would leave them, He promised them the Holy Spirit and peace.
Manie Payne, born in Carlow, Ireland, was a Christian, but she did not know peace. She struggled with her sinful nature until she began to experience the fullness of the Holy Spirit. This is the "blessed quietness" that she wrote about. Once that occurred, she was so happy she could hardly contain herself. Indeed, joy was flowing like a river in her life.
Later she married T.P. Ferguson and founded Peniel Missions, with branches in Egypt, China, and the west coast of the United States.
