Something New

Behold I am doing something new

New in you

New to you

New through you

 

Alive, alive my word is alive

It is birthing in you

Something new, something true

 

Stand on my word and proclaim

The glories of my fame

The wonders of my name

 

Declare my word

For it hits the mark

My word is sure

Ever pure

 

Behold I am doing something new

New in you

New to you

New through you

Behold I am doing something new

Because of Him

 

Inside these walls loneliness prevails

Inside this prison my human strength it fails

Who can save me from myself?

Who can bring my soul true wealth?

My past comes to visit me

I wonder how can it be that I could be free

After the silence, someone came to me

An ambassador of victory

Light shown upon my soul

Came to make me whole

My questions melted in Divine Love

From the Father above

I knelt before the cross

I am no longer lost

I am free within

Free from sin

Glory to the God I am free because of Him

 

The Anointing

Like Jesus

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit rather, in humility value others above yourselves. Philippians 2:3 NIV

Jesus showed us how to live sacrificially in His life and in His death on the cross. By His grace we are to place God and others above ourselves. We receive the ability to do this through the Holy Spirit and through spending time with God and in His word. 
When we read God's word, it acts as a mirror that reveals our true selves. 

God's word shows us who we are in Christ and it also points to areas where we've missed God's mark. God offers loving Fatherly correction to help us better meet His standard. 

Let's surrender to the Lord and let's choose to walk in humility towards Him and towards others. 

Clay Pots

 

We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing great treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves.

We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed. Through suffering, our bodies continue to share in the death of Jesus so that the life of Jesus may also be seen in our bodies. 2 Corinthians 4:8-10 NLT

We are like clay pots containing the glory of God. When we go through trials of many kinds, it’s like holes are placed in our clay pots. Through it God’s resurrection life shines through. When we are weak, He is strong. When we stumble, God uses it to display his glory.

God promises victory to His children, but along that elevated path for us we sometimes face difficulty. But He transforms our difficulty into glory so that others may follow the King.
