On Sabbath, June 24, 2023, the Lord’s day of rest, at 5:07 PM, Pastor Stephen D. Lewis took his last breath.
We were by his bedside. In fact, right before he was to take his last breath, Sister Lewis had just shared her recent prayer that if the Lord didn’t heal Pastor Lewis then a very important part of Psalm 126:2 couldn’t happen! The part about the heathen:
Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them. (Psalm 126:2)
Her prayer was: “Lord! We’ve been in this place for two weeks, surrounded by a few who believe but a majority who don’t believe that you can heal! The heathen need to be able to see you work so that they can know to call you “The LORD” and acknowledge and believe that You are who You say You are!”
Well, the Lord heard that prayer and He will do with it what He will.
But this we know: The Lord is never limited. He works in his own time and way and he will fulfill His word! So while the Lord’s answer was not the outcome we had prayed and hoped for, we still bow the knee in humble adoration to our God and King who loved and heard every sincere prayer that came before His throne. Just and true are His ways…always! Now and forever.
Check back often for funeral information.
We’re still praying and praising the Lord! Three times a day: 6 AM, 12 PM, 6 PM. (256) 952-9015: 706322. God used Pastor Lewis to start a burning prayer ministry. Join us! We’re praying for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit! Let’s see what God will do! Let’s let God finish the work in us and through us so that we can go home!
Until that’s great resurrection morning, Lord help us to be faithful our hearts will carry on singing
I praise the Lord for being able to hear the powerful voice God gave pastor Lewis. But my heart breaks to know that we won’t hear his voice until the resurrection. I’m so tired of this old world with its pain and misery.
I never got to meet pastor Lewis ..we exchanged a few emails during the last crusade, I was a backsliden Adventist and that crusade broke through to my hard head and harden heart.
We need more voices and men like him in this day and age. May God raise up 1000 more voices with the conviction Pastor Lewis had.
May God bless all those who mourn..I can’t wait to heaven so I can personally thank him for his service to our God.
The LORD knows what He’s doing, and He allowed him to go to sleep because He knew that Stephen was in a saved condition!
Pastor Lewis was such a blessing to myself and so many others. He truly cared about people and showed the love of Jesus to everyone he met. He will be missed, I look forward to seeing him reunited with his large family on that Great Resurrection Morning. Prayers and condolences to the family. ❤️
Praying for Pastor Lewis’ family.
Never doubt God´s will. Trust in the Lord in all conditions like Pastor Lewis did. Do you best to meet him in the resurecction day. God bless you all.
My heart breaks at the thought of this mighty preacher being silenced. He was the one God used to turn my brother and I completely around and save us from being lost. This wicked world desperately needs his ministry. But even now God is more then able to raise him from the dead and glorify His name just as in the raising of Lazarus. I just have a hard time believing it was time for him to go when he is so very needed to share the 3Angels Messages!
Sister E.G.White raised someone from the dead at their funeral in these modern times so God hasn’t changed at all. Anything is possible with Him, even raising someone at their funeral who has been dead a while! Wouldn’t that be something and a amazing witness to the existence of God and His power over all!
Indeed!!!
