Top Ten from 2018: #8 Joy in the Lord Through Tremendous Loss…Twice With Rachel Faulkner Brown

 

Genesis 50:20 + 21 NIV “You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives. So then, don’t be afraid. I will provide for you and your children.” And he reassured them and spoke kindly to them."

 

Rachel Faulkner Brown is passionate about many things but one drives her more than any other…..to inspire a generation to live beyond their current circumstance  and bring heaven to earth through healing and freedom. With two husbands in heaven and one here, Rachel has walked a road most will never wander and she inspires joy and hope everywhere she teaches and shares her story. Rachel is a teacher and storyteller marked by vulnerability, passion, and humor. One minute you are crying and the next minute laughing at the crazy things she has experienced in her years as a twice widowed woman trying to meet her third Mr. Right. She is committed to women encountering the person of Jesus everywhere she goes and knows that the Holy Spirit goes before her and behind her in every situation. On Rachel’s healing journey, she and several friends birthed a ministry called Be Still which Rachel still stewards from Atlanta today. It is a ministry where women gather to experience rest in the finished work of Jesus Christ through worship, testimony, and the power of prayer. Rachel also travels as a national speaker for Folds of Honor Foundation representing Gold Star families. Rachel and her husband, Rod, love opening their home and entertaining together when he is not on the road with his job as a Strategic Consultant for Northpoint Community Church

Ephesians 1:13–14 “And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation.

Ephesians 1:15–23 “For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.”

 

Ephesians 2:8–10 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God‘s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.“

 

Ephesians 2:13 “But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.“

 

Philippians 1:6 “being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”
