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
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
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.
Here is a poem I wrote that was recently published in inspireafire .com. I hope you like it.
There is a link between evangelism and worship. The need of the human heart is to behold Jesus. Jesus explained the importance of worship to the woman at the well. When she asked him about the kind of water Jesus offered her, He answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” John 4:13-14
Then Jesus spoke to her about worship: “You Samaritans worship what you do not
know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. Yet a time is coming and has now
come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the
Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must
worship in the Spirit and in truth.” John 4:22-24
Jesus
was speaking to her about the need of the human heart, and that worshipping Him
was the answer to that need. Jesus prophetically and gently pointed out her sin
that she was living with a man. But the woman did not receive the word with condemnation
instead it opened her eyes to the fact that Jesus was the Messiah and she told many
others of this.
Let’s remember to engage others in conversation about the one who meets the need of the human heart. Let’s point them to Jesus and to worship. In our worship services, let us remember the lost by giving them an invitation to receive the Lord. Last, let us be sensitive to the promptings of the Holy Spirit when we are in conversation with those that do not know the Lord. Let’s follow our Lord’s example in winning the lost.
