THE GREATEST MOMENT OF MY LIFE

In November 1960, my friend, Patty Troug at Bethel College told me, “John, as long as
you are calling ‘idealistic’, ‘unattainable’, or ‘theoretical’ what God calls ‘necessary’,
‘practical’, ‘available’, and ‘attainable’, YOU are calling God a LIAR!!!” I had thrown a
book away from me in disgust, FOREVER TRIMPHANT by Huegel, in which he quoted II Corinthians 2:14, ‘Thanks be unto God Who in Christ ALWAYS causes us to
triumph, and manifests Christ through us in EVERY place!” (JB) ‘Victory, at ALL times
and in every place! I had said “that’s too idealistic”, but then I realized, as a result of Patricia’s gentle rebuke, that I had been calling God a liar, in that He had said, “Victory always and everywhere.” And I had said, ‘Impossible”. I did not want to call God a liar anymore, So l went to my room, got out my Bibles, KJV, AMP, Gdspd, Greek
N.T., etc., and laid them out on the bed, and got down on my knees in order to see just what God DID say. Sure enough, God said, “Perfect victory always - everywhere”, AND
“More than conquerors”, AND ‘Abundant Life”, AND “Joy unspeakable”, AND ‘Full of
Glory”, AND ‘WE have the Mind of Christ”, AND ‘Christ our Life”, AND ‘whatever we ask”, AND “Greater works than these shall ye do”, AND ‘I can do all things through
Christ”, AND ‘With God all things are possible” etc., etc., etc., etc. All these Bibles said the same thing!!
