"With Thanks for Robert Belanger"
Dear Robert and Doves,
Thank you, Robert, for your response to "My Testimony" by Mary Belle
Habeger. Thank you for your editing, noting the typos I missed!
The experiences in it happened decades ago. She accepted Christ as her
personal Savior and her Lord when she was 23 years old. When she died
she was almost 90 years old. This was a blessed one who encouraged
many, for decades, in her walk in faith. Mary Belle was the best kind
of evangelist. She witnessed for personal convictions and conversions
and fostered the faith in others, awaiting The Blessed Hope. Mary Belle
was a student of Scriptural prophecy and believed that The
Blessed Hope is indeed near. Her notes on her readings in The
Scriptures amazed and informed her pastor! Her sphere of
influence was small town Wisconsin, in Evansville and Brodhead.
One of the two causes dearest to her was The Rural Bible Crusade. After
her funeral The Spirit convicted me to share her testimony with Doves
all over the world It was a thing she would have really
appreciated, to help Doves in their walks in faith. If her testimony
helps to convert one more person, she would like that most of all.
Perhaps printed copies will even help others ahead in The 70th Week of
Daniel! I pray this will happen, for even greater harvest of those
redeemed, for Eternal Life!
Even in
death, at her behest, the Gospel was preached at her funeral to help
convict unbelievers of their need for our Redeemer. How do I know there
were unbelievers there? Two relatives of unbelief were there. There
were at least two people who needed to hear The Good News of The
Gospel, made possible by her and her pastor that day. I personally know
that after her funeral, one was angry and the other was upset. The
Spirit of Truth was working to convict each one of need for The
Messiah/Christ. I am sure that outreach is a reason she was meant to
die before The Blessed Hope. Please join me Robert and Doves in prayers
for the conversions of the individuals of unbelief who were there at
her funeral. I have always enjoyed reading your prayers shared with us,
Robert. They have brought greater joy and solace to me. Her friend and
pastor, Paul, announced that the day of her funeral was her Coronation
Day. I hope our Day of Vindication, The Day of The Blessed Hope, is
very near. Bless you Robert and all the Doves. I hope to see each
blessed and beloved Dove soon!
With Love and Shalom,
Jean
