1) I Need Thee Every Hour

Annie S. Hawks (1835-1919) was led to pen the words of the hymn, “I Need Thee Every Hour.” She recorded the following:

“One day as a young wife and mother of 37 years of age, I was busy with my regular household tasks. Suddenly, I became filled with the sense of nearness to the Master, and I began to wonder how anyone could ever live without Him, either in joy or pain. Then the words were ushered into my mind and these thoughts took full possession of me.”

Not until sixteen years later, with the death of her husband, did the full impact of those words ministered to her own heart. She then wrote:

“I did not understand at first why this hymn had touched the great throbbing heart of humanity. It was not until long after, when the shadow fell over my way, the shadow of a great loss, that I understood something of the comforting power in the words which I had been permitted to give to others in my hour of sweet serenity and peace.”

Blessed Hope Visitation Ministry

Our Lord Jesus, at the end of the Olivet Discourse, gave His assessment of true believers in Matthew 25:35-36, “For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.” The Apostle James also mentioned visitation in his epistle, highlighting in particular the visitation of widows and orphans in their affliction: “Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world” (James 1:27).

What is Halloween?

It is in essence a festival of witchcraft and evil spirits, a Satanist festival with pagan origin. It is dishonourable to God. It is enticement to occultism unknowingly for innocent children.
