Psalm 116:10 “I believed, therefore I spoke,”
Along the way, before God moved into my life I spoke silently in my diary. Then the calling by God became my changed life.
“I believed, therefore I spoke,” openly of the Holy Spirit’s work called sanctification or becoming or being made holy, as did other Christians.
His great work began strong and is still a vibrant lifelong process of becoming holier still. Far from perfect and still with mistakes, sins and shortcomings, they are fewer by the grace of God.
“I believed, therefore I spoke,” in The Threshold books of the Spirit’s ongoing work. He has blessed us and still blesses us as He sees fit. But what did we believe?
We believed Jesus suffered for our sins and died, taking on Himself our penalty, He took our pain our death. And we still believe in the name and work of Jesus on the cross and His resurrection.
We believe, therefore we speak, to unseen Christians near and far via the internet. Through the trials and tribulations within the currents of this life there is still a growing love for Jesus.
Is there still someone, now, who believes Jesus in faith and is asking God to come into their life in faith? Have you believed in faith? Still time!

I enjoyed Volume 1 so much. From a literary standpoint, the pictures were vivid, the experiences so real; my wife and I had trouble setting it down. The most striking point to me was God’s constant presence in your life, even when you weren’t aware of it. It brings to mind when you wrote “On a course straight to hell, there’s a higher parallel: When God calls you, you’ll be free. When God calls you, you’ll be free.”(p.231)
“I believed, therefore I spoke” also brings to mind Exodus 4:15, when Moses was lacking confidence in his ability to speak; the Lord said; “You are to speak to him and put the words in his mouth; and I, even I, will be with your mouth and his mouth, and I will teach you what you are to do.”
Praise God for the work He did in this man with severe dyslexia (you) to produce a work which brings glory to His Name. All glory to our Lord!
