Holy Spirit, living breath of God

Published by

A prayer for the Holy Spirit to bring inward change Holy Spirit, living Breath of God, Breathe new life into my willing soul. Bring the presence of the risen Lord To renew my heart and make me whole. Cause Your Word to come alive in me; Give me faith for what I cannot see; Give me passion for Your purity. Holy Spirit, breathe new life in me. A prayer for the Holy Spirit to help bear fruits Holy Spirit, come abide within; May Your joy be seen in all I do— Love enough to cover ev’ry sin In each thought and deed and attitude, Kindness to the greatest and the least, Gentleness that sows the path of peace. Turn my striving into works of grace. Breath of God, show Christ in all I do. A prayer for the Holy Spirit to energize the church Holy Spirit, from creation’s birth, Giving life to all that God has made, Show your power once again on earth; Cause Your church to hunger for Your ways. Let the fragrance …

So long self… I’m sorry we can’t be friends anymore

Published by

If you are celebrating any kind of victory over self, this one’s for you! Well if I come across a little bit distant It’s just because I am Things just seem to feel a little bit different You understand Believe it or not but life is not apparently About me anyways But I have met the One who really is worthy So let me say So long, self Well, it’s been fun, but I have found somebody else So long, self There’s just no room for two So you are gonna have to move So long, self Don’t take this wrong but you are wrong for me, farewell Oh well, goodbye, don’t cry So long, self Stop right there because I know what you’re thinking But no we can’t be friends And even though I know your heart is breaking This has to end And come to think of it the blame for all of this Simply falls on me For wanting something more in life than all of this Can’t you see Don’t feel …

I’M Alive… I’m On Fire

Published by

When I was locked inside my head When I was lost in a maze of doubt You called my name and woke me up You called my name and let me out And when I chased one more mirage ’til I was tired and parched again You gave me one more cup to fill And sent me one more desert rain I’m alive I’m on fire And my spirit burns with desire You set me alive But I am with nowhere to hold it inside I wanted to thank you thank you, thank you I was sure of all I knew I knew the world was mine to claim I had directions printed out And then I hit a world of shame Out there alone and left to die Caught out from You, my sole supply You shed your tears for me and then You took my hand and raised me high I’m alive I’m on fire And my spirit burns with desire You set me alive But I am with nowhere to hold it …

My Hope is build on nothing less!

Published by

On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand, All other ground is sinking sand. 1st Published in 1836 Edward Mote My hope is built on nothing less Than Jesus Christ, my righteousness; I dare not trust the sweetest frame, But wholly lean on Jesus’ name. When darkness veils His lovely face, I rest on His unchanging grace; In every high and stormy gale, My anchor holds within the veil. His oath, His covenant, His blood, Support me in the whelming flood; When all around my soul gives way, He then is all my hope and stay. When He shall come with trumpet sound, Oh, may I then in Him be found; In Him, my righteousness, alone, Faultless to stand before the throne. Note: Our hope for eternal life depends completely on Jesus’ righteousness. There is nothing we can do to add unto the finished work of Jesus. Even though there are times when doubt, fear and darkness of this world will challenge our faith we can rest assure that he …

Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus

Published by

Proverbs 3:5, 6 “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.  In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.” I have been praying, waiting and trusting the Lord for something very important, but over the last two days, I have become increasingly anxious about it. So I decided to go to church and sing some old hymns. I thought, maybe that will help me snap out of my anxiousness. You know what, it worked. After singing a few of my favorite hymns, this one ministered more than the rest and  for practically the entire day, I couldn’t stop singing it. I can now say with confidence, I know that my God will take care of me. Let me sing it over you if you are feeling anxious today. I pray that you will find the grace to trust him more. I’m not too confident you will like my voice, or my playing, but just take it as a joyful ‘Noise’ of encouragement. Tis so sweet …

Two Sets of Jones’ – Which one are you?

Published by

This here’s a song about two sets of Jones’ Rothchild, Evelyn, Rueben, and Sue And just for discussion through random selection We’ve chosen two couples who haven’t a clue Rothchild was lucky to marry so wealthy, Evelyn bought him a house on the beach. Rueben and Sue, they had nothing but Jesus And at night they would pray that he would care for them each Chorus: And the rain, came down, And it blew the forewalls down And the clouds they rolled away And one set of Jones’, was standing that day Evelyn’s daddy was proud of young Rothchild, He worked the late hours to be number one Just newly weds and their marriage got rocky, He’s flying to Dallas, she’s having a son. Rueben was holding, a Giddeon’s Bible, And he screamed “it’s a boy” so that everyone heard And the guys at the factory took a collection, And again God provided for bills he incured (Chorus) So what is the point of this story, What am i trying to say Well is your life …

God, Love, Romance

Published by

I bought Fred Hammond’s new project the other day and I love it that he took on a project that addresses the issue of love and romance in the life of the believer. The album is musically sound as always and a new thing on this record that truly sets it apart is the dramatizations interposed throughout the album. It is jam-packed with real-life stories. Some of the tracks you might want to look for are: “I’m in love with you” “Amazing love” “You are going to make it” “Love song to the lamb” Some of the dramatization I think you will love: “So you just gown to leave” “Girls night out/Out take” “Write something for me” “Love will find you” The style: R&B – Urban Gospel This is a two CD Set with comment on the ups and downs in relationships – with slow and smooth R&B groves on disc one and some power packed urban gospel praise on the second disc. This an unforgettable musical experience. Get a Copy Here Walter Bright

Be My Magnificent Obsession

Published by

I know… I’ve bored you to death with my post on the second part of Jabez and here I come again with another one… forgive me… but I just can’t shake the word of this song from my head and prayer. It is consuming me! So here it is… Lord be my magnificent obsession… You, be my one consuming passion! Lord, You know how much I want to know so much In the way of answers and explanations I have cried and prayed And still I seem to stay In the middle of life’s complications All this pursuing leaves me feeling like I’m chasing down the wind But now it’s brought me back to You And I can see again This is everything I want This is everything I need I want this to be my one consuming passion Everything my heart desires Lord, I want it all to be for You, Jesus Be my magnificent obsession So capture my heart again Take me to depths I’ve never been Into the riches of Your grace and Your mercy …

Mary Did you know?

Published by

12 Questions to Mary the Mother of Jesus Did you know that your baby boy will one day walk on water? Did you know that your son will be the savior of the world? Did you know that your son will  make all things new? Did you know that the child you delivered will be your deliverer Did you know that this baby boy of yours will give sight to the blind? Did you know that your baby boy will calm a storm with his hand? Did you know that He has walked where angels trod? Did you know that when you kissed Him you were kissing the face of God? Did you know that He is Lord of all creation? Did you know that He will one day rule the nations? Did you know that your little boy is heaven’s perfect lamb? Mary did you know that the sleeping child you are holding is the Great I AM? These 12 questions are of course taken from the song – Mary did you know.  Lyrics by Mark …
