@hideyho67 Divorce is such a hard thing to go through. God bless you. just let god be in control and it will all work out. he doesn't give us a battle that that we can't win. be strong
Candy and her husband Kent are such a blessing to the body of Christ. They have ministered at our church many times. I can tell you they are the real deal. Candy has a ministry to homeless people near where they live.
What is peace in the midst of turmoil? How do you know that you have peace? What does Jesus mean when he said in John 14:27, Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Can someone share a testimony how this passage ensured peace, without a shadow of doubt, in time of turmoil, knowing definitely that everything will be all right?
Yes I can. 6 months ago, my whole nest egg evaporated in the midst of a market crash. 3 poor decisions accelerated this. It is a scary thing, to watch your ret' package disappear. People have taken their lives over lesser things. However. I hear this song. Jesus reminds me that I am totally his, and he holds me in the palm of his hand. There is no better place to be. He gives real peace in the midst of the storm. He will never forsake us, and he will not see us begging bread.
...and I have tears in my eyes when I hear this song, mainly because I sense God's love in it. Jesus touched me, and I am no longer the same. (Saved 35 yrs ago)
I am so thankful to know my real home is not in this world, but with our Lord.. in a very real Heaven. Thank you Jesus!
Five years ago my then 17 year old son was shot in the neck while riding in a car. From 1 am to 9 pm we did not know if he would recover fully or be paralized. When I placed this issue into God's hands the Lords peace came over me and I knew it would be alright. My son has recovered fully. With God's help I immediately forgave the ones responsible and was therefore able to tend to my son and give God the glory.
@papagowells May God bless you and your whole family. Good that you are able to forgive the thug for what he did. I hope your son is strong in the Lord today
This is one of my favorite songs ever. A friend of the family sang it at my mom's funeral a few years ago. She lived this song and was a testament that only real peace comes from the Lord. No matter what happened to her she was praising Him. Thank you for posting this!
I searched and searched for peace in the old world for years. But the only real peace is in the Lord. Try him and you'll see. A beautiful song sung by a beautiful person.
Another beautiful song the Lord has blessed us with. He has blessed her with such a beautiful voice that not to many have, thank you Lord. This is another song the lord has spoken through music to me!!!
the first time i heard this song was back in 1999, my last year in prison.a fellow kept bugging me to hear a song!i kept telling him, ill listen later. i was been an hard a** about it. i never let my walls down to anything. before i got there or after. one day he tried one more time! he said, "listen to this song and if it doesnt touch u i'll leave you alone. Boy after that song play. every thing came out of me that day! and i became a better person today because of this this song!
Lovely music. Can you sense the presence of the Love of God in it??
Jail for some is pure torture, for some it is their lifestyle; but for some (like yourself) it is the place where you surrender your life to Jesus Christ, God's Son. He delivers you and gives you a new life... and he sees you as though you had never ever sinned at all. He erases the record. This song is so true. The Peace of the Lord truly passes all human understanding...
Howard Goodman is the Brother to Labreska Hemphill's Mother, so howard and vestal is candy's great aunt and uncle. I should now I grew up with candy and her brothers when they lived in Bastrop Louisiana.
I have known Candy Hemphill since the late 1960s. We were kids together and when they would come to our church to sing, Candy would always be there. By the way I graduated Bastrop High in 1979. They had left before then. I moved there in 1976.
Around 1982 or so. She was at our church in 1984 with the Hemphills before she was married. I love Candy. Loved her Grandma Vestal Goodman beyond words
You know growning up in the church but you know life doesnt promise anything but the only that we are promised is the lord so the words to this song are so true so if your your feelin down out just listen to these words God Bless You
I love to listen to this song when things are going bad for me. God always has a way of comforting His children and this is a song that He uses to do it.
Hoover4000, I absolutely ADORE The Hemphills! I once had a vinyl record from way back in the day that I put on tape, which has been lost[alas!]It was called 'The Hephills Live!' where Candy sings 'Consider the Lillies.' Have you heard of it? I was wondering how I can possibly get back that beautiful old recording which is precious to me now.
my pastor past away monday and he loved this song makes me cry to hear it now ..very pretty son i must say .. i'll miss you Pastor Milton

This song sung by Candy Hemphill Christmas is such a blessing to listen to.
As I viewed it on YouTube, I could feel God's wonderful presence here in the room with me.
You will keep in perfect peace him whoese mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you.
Isaian 26:3
God is all about love, joy and perfect peace.
I am a witness to that after going through a difficult time in my own life.
We may change but God is constantly the same.
