Testimonies: Signs - Morning Vision September 21, 2023
I woke up with a very vivid image in my head.
It was a black T-Shirt
With Two Words:
JESUS COPE
in white with a white border
I wasn’t sure what this meant.
I thought about it for a little while and still wasn’t sure, so I looked up definitions for COPE
COPE: (From Merriam-Webster)
1
a
: to deal with and attempt to overcome problems and difficulties —often used with with
learning to cope with the demands of her schedule
b
: to maintain a contest or combat usually on even terms or with success —used with with
With this definition, this becomes very interesting
Overcome difficulties!
Combat with Success!
JESUS has defeated the enemy for us
All we have to do is accept this gift in our heart
Romans 6:23
“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
King James Version (KJV)
John 16:33
“These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”
King James Version (KJV)
I like how you didn’t just let the vivid image go, that you delved into what it means. You took the time to listen and learn which we all need to grasp this is what God wants! God speaks to us in many ways and he also listens. He hears our cries, and prayers. He teaches us that if we fix our eyes on him, the Author and Perfector of our faith, many obstacles on the road ahead will vanish before we even reach them. When I see the image of this shirt, I see black darkness, bleakness, hope gone all around with a bright, white, light in the center! Great resemblance of what God is, the LIGHT in the center that illuminates the darkness. I believe he was showing you and all of us that while things may seem dark, bleak and hopeless we can cope just like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego did not bow down and Daniel made it through the lions den. They all had something in common which we have too and that is, God! Sharing that knowledge shows others if they do not know God they can and have that ability to cope knowing Him!
