TRIUMPHANT VICTORIOUS REMINDERS
Inspired by the Holy Spirit
Written by: Teresa Criswell

"And Joses, who was also named Barnabas by the apostles (which is translated Son of Encouragement), a Levite of the country of Cyprus.."
~ Acts 4:36 ~

I am in awe of Poppa C.O.'s life. He is an encourager, a man of compassion, and a man who loves Truth.

I am reminded of Barnabas, which is translated Son of Encouragement. I love the impartation of the gift of God that was on Barnabas that is on Poppa C.O. Farmer. The great encourager. It goes beyond just personality of being an encourager, this reveals the heart of God that Poppa C.O. is in pursuit of. Poppa is so after the heart of God and it is revealed in his life.

I truly want to make sure that it is understood that this compassion of God can not be mistaken for 'tolerance'. Compassion of God never compromises with evil. Compassion never compromises period. Tolerance of evil, guised as 'compassion' will overtake us all. I am truly blessed by Poppa C.O.'s life as almost daily he has encouraged us with the Word of God...absolute Truth!

Because he comes in the name of the Lord, I want to make sure he is honored today as God is glorified because of his obedience.

As he is in the hopsital recovering from a serious injury; a broken back, there is a website you can go to: www.caringbridge.com/visit/poppacofarmer

Please whether you know him or not, please go to the 'Guestbook' and send him an encouraging word. As he has lifted many of our hearts with the truth, may we do the same for him. As we do this, I know it will honor our Almighty God!

I hold onto the promise of Isaiah 58:8 over his life in the Name of Jesus, which says, "Then your light shall break forth like the morning, Your healing shall spring forth speedily, And your righteousness shall go before you; The glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard."

I pray this also encourages anyone else who is believing in God for healing over your bodies, minds and if you have not been privileged to be in a relationship with Jesus who longs for you, He longs to heal your spirit, that it may become reborn by the Holy Spirit who reveals Jesus.

God is so awesome and may we be in awe of His excellent name! The most famous One!

Triumphant Victorious Reminders Inspired by the Holy Spirit Written by: Teresa Criswell  "Love your enemies.  Do good to those who hate you.  Bless those who persecute you and pray for those who spitefully use you..." ~ Luke 6:27-38 ~ True story... So how's this one for revealing God's royalty in the midst of a verbal slap? The setting of this story is on a college campus involving one of the girls I get to encourage whose name is Rebecca and another young lady whom she did not know, who had some mean, choice words. "I need to talk to you! Take your sunglasses off because when I talk to you I want to see your eyes." Rebecca shocked, took her sunglasses off, thinking to herself, "I think she has the wrong person." "You're a fake 'B with an ITCH' and I see you walking on campus all the time so happy and I see you're full of sh*%. There's no way someone could be THAT happy all the time". Rebe

Triumphant Victorious Reminders Inspired by the Holy Spirit Written by: Teresa Criswell "Commit your works to the Lord and your thoughts will be established." ~Proverbs 16:3 ~ It was Monday and I was doing the normal thing; driving to the grocery store. I was planning on going to this particular store which I enjoy frequenting. However, this day I was convicted to commit even this 'to do' moment to Him. I prayed to the Lord to guide my steps and as I was driving I was led to go to a different store which I do not like to frequent because of the great lack in customer service. But as I looked back upon that irritation, for me to complain about not having a good customer service experience is truly not suffering. Perspective was put back into its proper place...I was reminded to have options to go anywhere while others experience true suffering was insulting to those who truly suffer; especially for the cause of Christ Jesus. Hence, as I drove to this particular store,

To understand the significance of this story, you'll want to read that story first :) Paused with awe. "What? Another story involving a penny?" I am overwhelmed by the resounding testimonies that have been relayed back to me either by phone, email, text message or in person. "Teresa, I got a 'God Kiss' today as I found a penny." "Teresa, I was at work and on the floor in the bakery department there was a shiny penny." "Look! I found a penny in my jacket pocket." "Teresa, I thought of your mom today. I received a God Kiss as I found a penny." "I'll never look at a penny the same way again! ;)" Sharing some of the text messages and comments from my last post , I am delighte
