Choosing You

Our hearts well up with thanksgiving for life eternal.  For hope so sure.  For love so divine.

We can be anywhere in this whole wide world, we choose to abide in the presence of the almighty.

We can be anywhere in this whole wide world, we choose to anchor our lives in His love.

We can be anywhere in this whole wide world, we choose to bask in His presence.

Lord, we need You.  We will follow hard after You.  We will press into Your presence.  We will seek You and we will find You.

Providence

This is a photo I took from my home one day in 2013.  God has blessed Monte and I with a roof over our heads.  Many times, we would come home and echo these words "It is so good to be home."

God provides for us.  He meets our needs daily.  Have it not been for the mercy of God, we will not be here today.

God blesses us lavishly.  The air we breathe.  Our families.  Our vocations.  Our dreams.  Our aspirations.  He gives us the best.  We are eternally grateful to our redeemer.

Touch Our Hearts

Sensitise our hearts to the promptings of Your Spirit.  Touch and sensitise us to move powerfully in Your anointing.  Spirit of God, lift us up.  Empower and energise us.

Come, Lord!  Enter in and align our hearts to Your purposes.  Teach us Your ways.  Show us Your path. Guide and lead us into Your truth.

Spirit of the living God.  Endue us with Your power.  Every knee will bow and every to tongue confess that You are Lord.  Lord of all.

Mighty God

This glorious evening, we praise Your glorious name.  King of kings and Lord of lords.  We bow, we worship and we adore You.

Majestic and mighty.  You hold all things together.  You are the beginning and the end.  You are Alpha and Omega.  Merciful Lord, we cry out to You.

Only You

Down the corridors of time, men and women have been seeking God.  The empty void in our hearts cannot be filled by a metal, wooden or glass god.  

God alone can satisfy our deepest longings.  God alone gives us purpose to live.  We thrive, we triumph, we flourish.  God in His love gives us new awakenings.  He gives us hope and optimism.  He opens the eyes of our hearts.

Lord, pour Your Spirit on us.  Only You can gives us hope.  Only You can lead us to Your living water.  Only You can meet our needs.  Thank you, Lord!

We Worship You

This glorious morning, we call to mind Your faithfulness.  We call to mind Your greatness.  Perform mighty miracle in our lives.  We call on Your divine intervention.  

We worship You.  Let Your ring throughout all the earth.  Let all those who seek You rejoice.  Our hope is anchored in Your love.  Let us adore and worship You.

Anoint Us, Lord

Psalms 45:7  

"You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, Your God, has anointed you with the oil of joy above your fellows."  

Psalms 45:7 is a messianic prophecy.  An in-depth study will show Christ as the messiah both as the future king and the bridegroom of the church.

To anoint is to be blessed with oil.  It speaks of the Holy Spirit.  The spirit of God empowers us to move in God's power.  The power of God's spirit is poured upon our lives.  God begins to move through us. 

Healing, prophecy, word of knowledge, salvation are signs of the power of God's holy anointing.  

In faith, God moves us to deeper depths and greater heights in the spiritual realm to move in His anointing.  The christian life is about the anointing of God in our lives.  As we submit to the Lordship of Christ, His anointing flows through our broken lives.
