Hymn: Blessed assurance

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine;
Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.

This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long.
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long.

Perfect submission, perfect delight,
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight;
Angels descending, bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.

Perfect submission, all is at rest,
I in my Savior am happy and blest;
Watching and waiting, looking above,
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.

Ohh my God!!! I dreamt I was in a choir dressed in white singing this beautiful hymn so soothing and so heavenly, when I woke it was still fresh in my mind and I continued singing with tears of joy. I knelt for my morning devotion and picked up the lyrics of this song and meditated. Thank you Jesus, you are indeed mine forever. Am washed in your blood, no matter what I surrender and will not be moved. Thank you Jesus. 8.28 am

Oh what an assurance we have. I am so glad that my savior is not one to lie. His assurances and promises will never change.

Felt cast down but the Holy put a song in my mouth. I am heir of salvation, purchase of God, Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood. No matter what storm clouds may rock our ships today we have an assurance. Hallelujah

I woke up 3 am this morning feeling hopeless and forgotten when everything seems to be working against me

I went through my morning devotion mechanically and absent mindedly and suddenly this hyme entered my spirit at 6. 20am and my mind is revived on the assurance that what matters in life is Jesus that I have... Nothing else is as important

A BLESSED ASSURANCE INDEED!... GLORY TO GOD

It's indeed an awesome blessing to know that when I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour, He becomes mine. I'm assured by The Holy Spirit, that He is my Eternal, Prized, Possession. Yes, He is mine. And all who will accept Him; He belongs to them. This song of assurance I will always sing.

This song came to as I sat down resting after a purchase from a supermarket. I was watching a female toddler when the thought of God's promise but still waiting for it's fulfillment, came upon me, then I felt like going home to start crying, a man of 56 without a wife and a child in an African society is not easy but then this hymn came to my heart I knew it was the spirit of God talking. Thank you Lord of all comfort.

God thus speaks to our hearts through the Holy Spirit

Am so peaceful, His peace is beyond human’s comprehension. 🙏😄

Woke up so worried and downcast , then I heard in my spirit an hymn I checked the lyrics and started singing and tears flowing down my cheeks , then I had another one “BLESSED ASSURANCE “ it lightened my soul and I feel better, I am reminded that God gave us His All , His Son to show the magnitude of His love and that’s an assurance that He truly cares , so no matter the storms , JESUS CARES!!! He’s there with you, you won’t stumble, be rest assured YOU WON’T. These other comments blessed me too.

This is my story; this is my song; this is my consciousness: Oh blessed assurance, Jesus is mine. Heir of salvation, purchased of God, born of His Spirit, and washed in His blood.

Hallelujah!

I’m almost 70 years old and we live in a very different social climate than we did 50 years ago. It’s easy to be scared and worry. But the scriptures tell us that this happens before His coming. We have the blessed assurance of His appearing. Let us keep looking up.

The well-known chorus of a gospel song says, "This is my story, this is my song, praising my Savior all the day long." If we speak the fact that we are in the spirit, our story and song will be that we are in spirit. All day long we may praise the Savior that, because the Spirit of God dwells in us, we are now in the spirit. This will be a very effective inoculation against all the "bugs" sent by the enemy to trouble us in the Christian life.

Life-study of Romans, ch. 69 (LSM)

Formerly we were busy planning. Now we are serenely trusting. Formerly there were constant sorrow and frustration. Now we are like a weaned child, who rests in his mother's bosom. Formerly we were filled with our own thoughts and had many cravings and ambitions. Now we consider God's will as the best and rest in Him. Indeed, "Perfect submission, perfect delight," and "Perfect submission, all is at rest" [Hymns, #308]. Ephesians 6:6 says more or less the same thing: "As slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from the soul." No longer do we do God's will by the soul, which is self-assurance. Now we are doing God's will from the soul, which means carrying out His will practically and wholeheartedly. The soul-life which once rebelled against God's will is now brought into full submission to His will through the work of the cross and is willing to do His will wholeheartedly. Formerly everything was outward; we either walked according to our self-will, or we tried to do God's will according to our self-will. But now, in everything, we have become one mind with God.

The Collected Works of Watchman Nee, vol. 10, The Present Testimony (3), Issue No. 24 (LSM)

We also need to live a rejoicing life, a happy life. We all have to be "hallelujah people," who rejoice in the Lord always (Phil. 4:4). Sometimes the most restful thing is to sing a hymn. Singing a hymn fills us with joy and helps us to enjoy Christ as our rest. The chorus of Hymns, #308 says: "This is my story, this is my song,/Praising my Savior all the day long." A rejoicing life is a life of enjoying God in Christ as everything; this enjoyment makes us happy and causes us to exult all the day. The Christian life should be a rejoicing life.

The History of God in His Union with Man, ch. 13 (LSM)

Now we need to consider the way to have a group meeting. Ephesians 5:18 tells us to be filled in spirit. We believers who love the Lord Jesus, who are seeking His purpose, and who are burdened for His recovery should be persons filled in our spirit all day long. We should be filled with the Triune God, who is today the all-inclusive Spirit to us. When we are filled within, surely we will utter something out from our spirit. Ephesians 5 tells us to be filled, speaking and singing. Our speaking and singing are not in common language. We may speak or sing a psalm, which is a long piece of poetry. It may be like Psalm 119, which has one hundred seventy-six verses. There are twenty-two sections with eight verses in each section. Twenty-two is the number of letters in the Hebrew alphabet. Each section of Psalm 119 is according to a letter of the Hebrew alphabet. We may speak or sing a hymn, which is somewhat shorter than a psalm, or we may speak or sing a spiritual song, which is shorter still.We need to speak and sing these psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs long before coming to the meeting. Even in our home, it is very good to be speaking and singing. The husband may say, "This is my story, this is my song, praising my Savior...." Then the wife may respond with, "All the day long" (see Hymns, #308). Or she may say, "I have passed the riven veil. Here the glories never fail." Then the husband responds with, "Hallelujah! Hallelujah! I am living in the presence of the King" (see Hymns, #551). If we are filled in spirit, we will have something to utter. The small group meeting may begin at 7:30 p.m., but if a couple begins to sing at dinnertime, around 6:00 p.m., the small group meeting will have already begun. Such a meeting can continue as they drive together to the meeting with the other saints.

The Exercise and Practice of the God-Ordained Way, ch. 24 (LSM)

As we read the Word of God, we should not only pray, but also sing to the Lord. This is to read the Word by psalming. (In ancient times the Psalms were sung and not merely read or spoken.) Praying requires more exercise of the spirit than speaking, and singing requires even more exercise than praying. By singing we can truly get into our spirit. We need more singing both in the meetings and in our daily life.The chorus of the well-known hymn 'Blessed Assurance' says:This is my story, this is my song,Praising my Savior all the day long.This is my story, this is my song,Praising my Savior all the day long.Many Christians have sung this hymn, but not many praise their Savior all the day long. What do you think would happen if we praised the Lord all day long? No doubt, we would be utterly immersed in the Lord.

Life-study of Exodus, msg. 58 (LSM)

We all need to say happily, triumphantly, and rejoicingly—"Jesus is mine!" We all know the familiar hymn that says, "Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine; Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine!" The chorus of this hymn says, "This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Savior all the day long" (Hymns, #308). We are not praising the Lord all the day long for a good house, for an expensive car, or for a heavenly mansion with golden streets and pearly gates. We are praising the Lord all the day long for the fact that Jesus is ours. We are those who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, who is both theirs and ours. To fully understand 1 Corinthians 1:2, you need John 1:1, 14, and 17, John 3:16 and 34, and John 15:26. Also, 1 Corinthians 1:9 tells us that we have been called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. The Greek word for fellowship means joint participation, common participation. God has called us into the participation in His Son. We could even say that God has called us into the enjoyment of His Son.
