Celebrating the Life of Karen Jackson: A Beacon of Spiritual Christianity
Today, I want to share something deeply personal and impactful with you. This will be my last blog talk radio show due to the high costs associated with it, but don't worry, we're exploring other avenues to keep our spiritual discussions alive and accessible.
Firstly, I want to talk about Karen Jackson from our Fellowship Christian Church who recently passed away. Karen and her husband Howard have been monumental influences in my spiritual journey, and their dedication to the ministry has left an indelible mark on many lives, including mine.
The Prophetic Encounter
Back in 2000-2001, I was attending the Christian Tabernacle Church, renowned for the miraculous event in October 1996 when the pulpit split in half. During this time, I had a prophetic dream about meeting two people, which I later realized were Howard and Karen Jackson. This encounter was predestined, as highlighted by the Holy Spirit showing me things to come, a testament to the prophetic nature of our faith.
Despite numerous spiritual attacks, I eventually met them, and Howard's first words to me were, "You're supposed to be in full-time ministry." This was the beginning of a profound relationship where I would often lead worship at their home meetings and witness their unwavering commitment to fellowship and discipleship.
A Life of Fellowship and Miracles
Howard and Karen Jackson were not just hearers of the word; they lived it. They opened their home to many, offering discipleship and transforming lives. Their ministry, aptly named Our Fellowship Christian Church, emphasized love and fellowship, embodying John 13:35, "By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another."
Their home was always open, and they were always ready to support and uplift others. Karen, even with her demanding schedule, made time for the ministry and the people. Their Friday lunches and post-church gatherings were like spiritual huddles, where we shared stories, revelations, and encouraged each other in our faith.
Spiritual Insights and Reflections
In the latter part of this blog, I want to share some spiritual insights that have been resonating with me, specifically from John 14:19-23 and Romans 8:8-10. These passages highlight the spiritual relationship we are meant to have with Jesus, emphasizing that true believers will keep His commandments out of love, not obligation.
Jesus' promise that He and the Father will make their abode with those who love Him and keep His words is a profound reminder of the intimacy we are called to have with Him. This spiritual relationship is more than intellectual assent; it is about having the Spirit of Christ dwelling within us.
Until we meet again, dig deeper and go higher.
