Don't Love The World.

My Friend,

Don't love the world or the things of the world and do not conform to this world. 

Instead, you and I need to conform to the things of The Lord as outlined in His Word. Not in some legalistic way, rather a faithful, faith filled, and Spirit led way.

Please watch this bring message / quote:


Let me encourage you guard your heart, mind, soul, and eyes from the things that seek to distract you from and lure you away from everything that matters most...specifically the things of The Lord! 

Take time to read, study, and take to heart 1 John 2:15-16 and Romans 12:2 for starters. 

You're in my prayers! 

Your brother and servant in Christ,

Randolph Koch

5 Encouragements For 2024!

Hello and Happy New Year Friend!

Thank you for the privilege of serving you in 2023! As we begin 2024, here are 5 encouragements for you!

Please listen to this brief message:

https://youtu.be/_H4f7ohONpg?si=Lj7LDqpQjPyG2oaL

I want to encourage you to...
1. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus.
Fix your eyes on The Lord, not your circumstances. (See Hebrews 12:2) I want to encourage you to... 2. Abide in Christ!
Regularly read, study, and live out His Word. (See John 8:31-32) I want to encourage you to... 3. Seek, Serve, Love, and Trust The Lord with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. (See Proverbs 3:5-6 and Matthew 22:37-39). I want to encourage you to... 4. Stay prayerful & make prayer a priority: Pray more…stay in regular conversation with Him and intercession for others. (See 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18) I want to encourage you to... 5. Stay Alert! Watch for The Lord’s Return, Be on alert against the schemes of the enemy, and stay armored up! (See Matthew 24:40-44, Ephesians 6:10-18, 1 Peter 5:8) Let me encourage you to take time to read, study, and take heart the above scriptures. 2023 was a very different year to say the least and I look forward to all God has in store for us in 2024 as we seek The Lord together and as I prayerfully have the privilege of serving you this year! Again, Happy New Year!
You're in my prayers! Please keep me in your prayers. 🙏🏼

No One Else.

As I awoke this morning, thoughts of many disappointments and discouragements started to fill my head. But God, being rich in mercy helped me turn once again to His goodness and His Word. He reminded me to turn to Him and His truth, THE Truth!

We all have our moments of weariness, but, then His truth comes through like a fresh wind and clears the fog that fills our minds sometimes, the fog that the enemy and our own wrong thinking that we allow to take hold.

As I sought Him this morning, He also brought this song to my heart and mind and I lifted up to Him:

Fernando Ortega’s “No One Else” that you can listen to here: https://open.spotify.com/track/4iSAdKa3Rm4Ha5FC7KMcdK?si=76fe9928857d4591

Ultimately, there is no one else besides Him that we should turn to and reply on that will always be there for us.

This doesn’t mean we don’t or shouldn’t seek wise counsel and encouragement from others, rather, it means, He’s the only one that is our constant and perfect source of counsel, refuge, strength, and more! He is the only one that will never leave or forsake us.

He helps us grow in the wisdom and knowledge of Him and provides the tools we need to live for Him, for His Kingdom and Glory, as we wrestle with the ups and downs of life.
So, in our times when the "fog" roles in, we need to turn once again to Him, turn to Him right away, as there is no one else besides Him Who will see us through any storm or good time in life.

A Prayer To The Lord:

Lord, I thank you that there is no one else besides you. You are my rock and fortress. You are my deliverer and strength. You are my fog lifter and the lifter of my head. You are my provider. You are the light unto my path and lamp unto my feet and I turn to you. Please help me by Your Holy Spirit turn to you as a first response instead of an afterthought, as I know the truth of Your Word no matter what the enemy or my own thinking tries to convince me of…I need to turn to you. Thank you for Who You are. Thank you for Your Word. Thank You for your love and care. Thank you for your provision and protection. Thank you for your new mercies today and every morning. Thank you for your Holy Spirit’s guidance and wisdom in my life! May You receive all the glory due your name! In Jesus’ mighty name I pray, Amen.

Friend, as you wake up in the morning, may you remember and proclaim that there is no one else but you Lord. And, as you lie down to rest at night, may you remember and proclaim that there is no one else but you Lord.

In the valleys and mountain tops of life, turn to Him.

He is your all in all. May you be lifted up today by this remembrance.

You’re in my prayers and please keep me in yours.

In Christ Alone,

Your Brother and Servant in Christ,

Randolph Koch

Advent 2023!

Hello Friend!

It's Christmas time! 

Let me be one of the first to wish you a Merry Christmas! 


Did you know that incorporating Advent into your Christmas celebration can be a fantastic way to help focus your heart, worship, and celebration on the birth of Christ / His first coming?... which is the reason we celebrate CHRISTmas in the first place!


Advent is a more traditional part of Christmas that is still observed by many as it can be a very meaningful part of your Christmas remembrance. 


This Sunday is the first Sunday of Advent and I wanted to share a free resource with you that I created titled, "Celebrating Advent" 

If you'd like to download your free gift copy in PDF format, please click on the following link:

Please keep an eye out for a weekly post wherever A Shepherd's Heart is via social media for each week's Advent remembrance.


Because He is The reason for the season, Your Brother and Servant in Christ,

30 Days of Thanksgiving & Gratitude!

My Friend,

Welcome to November 2023! 

It's a great month and season to pause and focus on giving thanksgiving and gratitude to God for who He is and all He continues to bless us with!

To help us do just that, I've created a simple 30 Day Calendar of Thanksgiving & Gratitude for you to download and keep electronically or to print out to be a guide this month.

Each day has a scripture listed as a suggestion to read, study, possibly memorize, write out, but most of all, to serve as a prompt as you seek to give thanks and express gratitude to The King of Kings and Lord of Lords. 

30 Days of Thanksgiving & Gratitude Preview

Download your free copy here: 30 Days of Thanksgiving & Gratitude!
 
I hope you enjoy this resource and I pray you make time these next 30 days, (and all year through) to express thankfulness and gratitude to The Lord! 🙏🏼

I'm thankful and grateful to God for the honor of serving you! 
You're in my prayers!

You're in my prayers. 🙏🏼
Your Brother and Servant in Christ,
Randolph Koch

He Must Increase, I Must Decrease!

My Friend,

Our lives are supposed to be about our Savior Jesus Christ.  Our lives are supposed to point to Him and not just ourselves.  Our lives are supposed to be about building His Kingdom and not just our little kingdom.  Our lives are supposed to be about bringing glory to Him and exalting Him, not ourselves.  Please listen to this brief message and then pass it on.  
Please take time to read, study in context, and take to heart John 3:30.  He must increase, we must decrease.  You are in my prayers. Please pray for me as well.
