My beautiful and gracious Lord, How I praise you and thank you. All I have is yours Lord, and I am not even worthy of any of it.Your Holy Spirit is moving through your people like a raging fire, I feel it everyday it grows stronger Lord. Give us a passion for you that is contagious that is over flowing, let your Holy Spirit that lives in us pour out onto others. Lord you have given us so much power, you live in us! Oh Father I pray you would release that power to the fullest for your glory. I pray lives would be changed and souls would be saved. But when the Holy Spirit has come upon us, you will receive POWER and will tell people about me everywhere-in Jerusalem, through out Judea in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. Acts 1:8
Oh Lord how I long for Jerusalem!!!! For you alone Lord know the desires of my heart!! Fill this broken vessel up, that I may serve you and glorify you all the days of my life. Reach down from Heaven Lord and lift up your people. We need you so much. Forgive me Lord for my sins and my wicked ways I want so much for you to look down and smile and be pleased with my life.
Please Lord help me to do the right thing always!! I command you to love each other in the same way that I love you. And here is how to measure it- the greatest love is shown when people lay down their lives for their friends. You are my friends if you obey me. I no longer call you servants, because a master doesn't confide in his servants. Now you are my friends since I have told you everything the Father told me. You didn't chose me I chose YOU. I appointed YOU to go and produce fruit that will last, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my name. I COMMAND YOU TO LOVE EACH OTHER. John 15 12-17
There is a children's song I sing around the house to my kids, Its very simple " Do the right thing" That is my prayer for each of us that we would all do the right thing, and when we don't that God would give us a Spirit of discontentment, that we would be so unsettled in our Spirit and quick to repent and make things right with our Savior and our brothers and sisters in Christ.
Now I have a confession to make, I could never sign the wall in Sunday school, I never could. I hope and pray someday I will be able to live up to those words.I simply know how very wretched I am and can be, so I pray that God would continue to have his way in my life, and he would continue to cut off every branch that does not produce fruit. Remain in me, and I will remain in you.For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine,and you cannot be fruitful apart from me. John 15:4 I pray each of us would represent our Lord well today... You have given me greater joy than those who have abundant harvests of grain and wine. Psalm 4:8 Pray for me!!! May you be glorified today my lord!!!
This week has been so powerful.....and it's not even over yet. Wow, the words of the Lord are so beautiful. "My God is mighty to save, he is mighty to save.........forever, author of salvation, he is mighty to save, he is mighty to save...." I can hear the music in my head......
