DO YOU KNOW WHAT GOD WANTS YOU TO DO?

It is hard for people to believe God
We want to do it our way
Our time, our victory
Our results never quite work out right
Jesus is Lord-He offers us salvation- Life like God’s life

Betraying Christ-we listen to what the world wants
Their rules their morals even when they are in direct opposition to the Father
What will we get even though we are seeking good
Reaping the whirlwind, sowing the seeds of doubt and despair
Look around you; everywhere people are in chaos

Saved by grace
Powered by Christ
Seek out the hurting, care for the weak, listen to the lonely
We have a choice – my way or His way
Surrender to Jesus – He loves you

Ritual sacrifice, in word and deed do not mollify God
We are called to salvation-surrender to Jesus-have faith in the Lord
Strive for submission-the Lord isn’t interested in what we can do for Him
He is seeking those that will bend the knee to Him all their life-He is Lord
Useable, obedient, faithful, growing-I make my choice for YOU LORD

BELIEF CHANGES EVERYTHING

Deut 4:29 …if you search for him with all your heart and soul you will find him.

BELIEF CHANGES EVERYTHING

Do you believe God?  Do you believe Him for your situation?
We need to move from knowing about Him to knowing Him
To understand that His 7,000 plus promises in the ible are true
They are written to me and you for guidance in our daily life

I believe you God, in the midst of the fire of life I believe you
I trust you Lord, my actions show how real you are to me
So many say it is hard to read your Word, it’s dry, it applies to others
It applies to me 100%, your Word is a light unto my feet, a strength for my heart

Lord your Word is there for me to know
Knowing your Word equips me, enables me to stand in the face of evil
It picks me up when I am down, it takes my frown and turns it upside down
Let the light of your Word ready me for today, this is the day that the Lord has made

I will meditate on your Word Father, letting it soak into my soul
Inscribing its letters on my heart, that I might not sin against you
I know You know me and I want to know YOU better
Time is passing by, redeem the time Lord and let me be your servant

I believe you Lord
I believe you can change those things wrong in me
Outfitting me to do Your work, helping those you’ve put me with
Every promise in your Word is YES and AMEN, Jesus loves me, this I know

Psalm 93- HE REIGNS (FR DEVOTIONAL)

No force of nature
No act of man
Can divert the Lord’s will
He reigns

Evil seeks to block our way
Time batters our work
We tire in the heat of the day
He reigns

Untimely deaths
Failure’s painful hand
Fears icy stare
He reigns

Jesus is greater than anything
His love deeper than imagination
His care everlasting
He reigns

You have value
Your life is worthy
Every thought He has of you is good
He reigns

Be who you are
Do what you can
Jesus will not forget you
He reigns

THE I’S HAVE IT – PSALM 131

THE I’S HAVE IT – PSALM 131

David declared his humility before the Lord
He knew his place, he claimed his faith, peace be still

Trifling with the Lord is serious business God knows our heart
It is a choice to claim the Lord – it is a choice to serve the Lord
We choose – I choose to be what HE says
Lord dig out my pride – destroy it but save me
Give me eyes that see YOUR love – a heart pure without cunning
I want to be who I am – trusting you for salvation, peace and joy
I will be your child, I will be your servant, I will love those I’m with

Help me set aside the ways of the world – a grateful heart guides me
I will do what you say Lord – Help my unbelief
Teach me my limitations – Blessed are the ways of the Lord
Lead me in your everlasting way – my life rests in your gracious hands
Thy will not my will Lord – I will do the best at what I do
Destroy my self-sufficiency, self will, self seeking
Pour out your grace upon me that I will walk in your way

Hope in the Lord – He is my strength
My faith is in His promises, His presence, His salvation
One day face to face, help me claim heaven today
Those things unseen, open my eyes Lord that I might see
Those things unheard, open my ears Lord that I might hear
Develop a yearning in me for YOU- every breath I take is YOU
Indwell me with your confidence, I hope in the Lord

KNOW HIM – JESUS IS LORD OF ME

KNOW HIM

 

He died for me on that rugged cross

Feeling sin suffering loss

Burdened by my agony

Jesus is Lord of me

 

Daily time in His precious Word

The Holy Spirit silently heard

Direction, advice, counseling and more

Jesus is Lord of me

 

I give my all to Him each day

All my thoughts are sent His way

My heart is light for He holds my hand

Jesus is Lord of me

 

This journey began before I was a man

My pain and heartache placed in His hand

He spoke to me with loving words I was heard

Jesus is Lord of me

 

Fifty years I’ve walked His path

He has shared every failure and victory

Always guiding me His love never fails

Jesus is Lord of me

 

Jesus is my friend

I could not survive without Him

One day I will stand before Him

Jesus is Lord of me

SPIRITUAL BLAHS Mk 8:1-21

SPIRITUAL BLAHS Mk 8:1-21

Jesus taught by word and action
Demonstrating what the Father wanted
Showing how the Father cared
He was Lord and had great compassion for the people

Feeding 4,000 with seven loaves of bread
His disciples passed out the food
Seven baskets of leftovers
The Father had blessed the bread with plenty

Jesus is always enough
Whatever you are facing
Jesus is enough
He will meet your needs

Pharisees demanded a sign
Jesus was more than enough
He was God’s sign
The Lord would forgive our sin making us part of His family

Even then the disciples were in the dark
They didn’t catch His message
Jesus spread His light
Beware of the ways of the world-it will infect you, sideline you, overwhelm your heart

Open your eyes-God is calling you
Believe by faith and the Lord will partner with you
Soften your heart- there is much to do
When you are down – remember what the Lord has done for you

MY SIGHT – MT 7:14

MY SIGHT – MT. 7:4

I grasp the images of my youth

Pain and evil swirling round

Knowing all the while it’s through

I’m rid of you

 

Yet I hang on to those images

Viewing again and again

As a vacant tooth cries for a searching tongue

I seek out those things that hurt me

 

At the same time I criticize you

Do this; don’t do that

This is how you should be living

Oh God how can I be so blind?

 

Daily I’m bombarded with images

My eyes the windows of my soul

Lord if I can’t control old images

How will I deal with each day?

 

Trauma of any type

Burns images in our soul

Desperate to be whole

Lord cleanse me from evil

 

These images lie to us

Claiming we are this way

I know who I am, Jesus has cut me free

His precious blood cleanses me

 

Open my eyes Lord that I might see you

Give me release from these images controlling me

Help me see myself through Jesus eyes

That I might be a servant to those around me

 

Slowly slowly I am freed

Jesus has a hold on me, I have a hold on Him

My vision for God sharpens, I know Him better

I see YOU Lord; More of You; Less of me; Jesus is Lord

GOOD MORNING LORD

Give ear; give ear to my words Lord
I’m in trouble; life has caught me in a bind
I need your fullest attention; I love you Lord
My trouble is gnawing at my soul; help me

You are the only ONE Lord; there is no other
As I cry out to you; I’m mindful of my needs
Let me recite them to YOU; I know you are listening
My heart is right; I am innocent in this fiasco

Lord the lawless and wicked are attacking me; they are acting the fool
I know that the foolish will not stand; I trust in your power Lord
Nothing gets by You; they have no claim against me
You abhor the deceitful; they have no future; my future is with you

Lead me Lord in your righteousness
Protect me from the evil schemers and their schemes
I do not want revenge; surround me with Your favor
You are my shield and protection, I belong to you Lord

Oh Lord I am grateful; thank you for listening to me
I know I am heard; I know You care
Your love is my life; Your blessings are innumerable
Bless the name of the Lord; You O Lord are my God

WE LIVE

We live our life
A cultural mess
Convinced of glory
Reality confessed

Truth deflates
The lies we tell
Serious lives
Going to Hell

Seldom filled with God’s desires
We walk our streets
With hearts afire
Searching searching searching

A vague unrest
We’re off the track
Has God said
My life’s a wreck

Help me claim the life God gives
Obedience, wisdom, mercy, grace
Jesus lives in me
Seeking to set me free

This is the day the Lord has made
I will rejoice and be glad in it
I trust the Lord my soul to keep
Depart from me angst, joy claim my life

THE WALLS

Standing on Jerusalem’s walls
I see the world walking by

Ancient Egypt conquered
Slaying, persecuting, destroying
A vast empire for thousands of years
God delivered and the walls still stand

Babylon came, they cursed and screamed
We’re gonna bury you
The walls witnessed
God’s hand of judgment, Babylon disappeared

Philistia persecuted Saul and David
Bringing Israel to its knees again and again
An evil people who discounted God
Their hand was weak, the walls still stand

Ethiopia sent soldiers to all
Many died scaling God’s walls
Jerusalem, Oh Jerusalem
Your walls still stand

The Romans came crucifying Jesus
They tore down God’s wall
Jesus rebuilt it
Now we stand and see the world
Jesus is Lord, Lord of all
