Love

The Lord said "I want you to make this the post" So here it is, a song.
the purpose is two-fold:
To show that this is the highest fulfillment of everything I desire
To show to You that He really can be everything that you want Him to be.
The interesting thing is, this is the overflow, which I would be sharing, because I do not work on my day of rest. So it is a fulfillment in that sense too.

Here are the lyrics!

If I have not love

My speaking my tongues and

In the form of angels and of men

Are like a clanging cymbal

If I do not have love

I can give my body to be burned

And it will not suffice me anything

Pre-chorus:

You have pierced my ear

You have given me the Spirit without measure (So)

Asctibe to the Lord from my heart

Ascribe to the Lord the glory and the emotional strength

Glory due His name

(pre-chorus)

So I will say to you

Come fill me up, yes, come fill me up

Yes I will say to you

I am no longer my own, I am no longer my own

I could give up everything

And in the giving it would be utterly despised rejected tossed aside, forgotten, trash and rubbish, it would be less than filth

To be remembered no more!

This is my vow to you! (my vow to you)

This is my vow:

I will give everything for You

And forget it all

For your love it is the highest goal highest treasure, highest attainment, I have you

 

The former things have gone

And the new has come

You won’t remember

They will no longer

Be remembered

They will be forgotten

Forever you’ll be My husband, and I will be your wife

I will be your bride

 

You are the promise of redemption

You are the promise of a husband

You are the promise of joy and delight

Trusting in the Father’s love

Hoping in the Father’s love

Hoping in the love, the love you have given

The love that you will mention on that day

On the day of your wedding

On the day of the gladness of your heart

You will mention my praise

You will mention my love

You will mention my gladness

My heart

And you will bind them like an ornament on my neck

That they will never be forgotten

What Kind of Revival Is It?

When you sleep at night, are you thinking of the things that you have done for God? are you thinking of your heart? In the Psalms it says "Be angry, and do not sin. Meditate within your heart on your bed, and be still"
We can be leading others to Christ, running a succesful ministry, speaking arrangments booking up your planner for a year, and yet be dead on the inside. The thing that I have learned, is that when God asks me to obey His voice, and I respond in faith, he provides the way to get there. When I was at YWAM last year, I made a statement that I would be going to "Before Thy Face" - a conference up in Tauranga. What others don't know is, that God had been speaking to me very powerfully concerning His people through the life of David and the reason I was going up to Tauranga, was related to the journey that I was going on - literally, but also with God. I was taking steps of obedience - this was a milestone to me in terms of having the faith to go to Israel. It was a stepping stone. Though I had never hitch-hiked, the point of it all was "If God was asking me to be there, then I will be there"
Or obedience. The embers are being blown, and I want to make sure that the revival that is coming is the one that is taking place in my heart.
God's plan for me through this whole journey was also to see what was in my heart in regard to finances. One of the things that happened that I did not agree with was this - I thought that I would be able to get a discounted fare for the ferry. As for finances, I remember very clearly saying "I will need mercy for this travel - I know I will" I had built this journey on a few verses from Psalm 69 - drawing from the Life of David - that I was a Wanderer for the sake of God, identifying with his people. After coming back from the trip, I remembered thinking "God I need to know that you are in all of this - that I am following You" shortly after this I looked inside my wallet and found an extra $20. It was God's way of saying "I am reimbursing you" - showing you grace.

I still believe whole-heartedly that God will test you in the realm of finances to see what is in your heart. If you are doing it for your own motives - that will be dry and discarded wood, redundant. He is looking into your heart, and the reason for it is to be transparent with people - because people will bring a revival in the heart through God's leading and grace.
