My Friend,
Let me ask you: Do you trust the Lord and lean on Him and His understanding or do you trust in yourself and lean on your own understanding? Do you acknowledge Him in all your ways? Please take a few moments to listen to this brief message.Wednesday, October 16, 2024
Are you leaning on your own understanding or His?

What you should mean when you say Amen. 🙏🏼
The Hebrew word translated as "Amen" means "so be it" or "truly".
"Amen" is also found in the New Testament and has the same meaning in the original Greek language.
We're putting our trust in His sovereignty and essentially saying, "So be it" or "So let it be", trusting God to hear our prayers and asking Him to grant our requests according to His will as we pray in faith and according to His will be done...not our own.

May we purpose to pray often and strive to Agree with God, Move with God, begin and end with God, and never doubt Him!
May we really mean Amen, when we pray or in agreement to His Truths!
When you say AMEN, may you agree with God, move with God, end with God, and may you never doubt God! 🙏🏼 🙌
And...all God's people said, AMEN!
You're in my prayers. 🙏🏼
Your brother and servant in Christ,
Randolph Koch

Welcome To A Shepherd's Heart!
My Friend,
Welcome to A Shepherd's Heart!
Please listen to this brief message and then please read the below information. 🙏🏼
Here is what A Shepherd's Heart is about:
Who We Are:
A Shepherd’s Heart is a non-denominational discipleship and encouragement ministry founded by Randolph Koch.
Our Mission:
This ministry exists and our mission is to come alongside the church with the goal to encourage God’s people to grow in maturity in Christ as they live life on purpose for His kingdom and glory. (Read: Colossians 1:28-29, Matthew 28:16-20. John 15:4-5, John 8:31-32)
And, as part of The Great Commission (Matthew 28:16-20), this includes pointing people to Him that have not experienced His love, forgiveness, and salvation yet.
We strive to create biblical and practical resources such as: written, audio, and video resource creation including articles, blog posts, devotionals, web, tools, and social media communications. Currently have 5 YouVersion Bible app specific devotionals published in the app and website (hope to publish more soon).
We serve the body of Christ including but limited to discipleship, pastoral care, prayer, Biblical council, teaching, preaching and have a huge heart to serve and build up shepherds who are on pastoral staff.
Thank you for the honor of serving you!
You are in my prayers. Please pray for me as well.
Your brother and servant in Christ,
Randolph Koch

The Importance of Perseverance.
My Friend,
It's no doubt that God uses our hard season of trials and battles for His glory, and for our growth and good, but what if He has you and I go through things not only for us, but also for the benefit of others too? God may use our trials to help others navigate their own trials by watching us! They will watch and see how we, (however imperfectly) persevere and prayerfully display an unwavering faith through whatever we face in life.Tuesday, March 19, 2024

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
