God above, put the world in motion
God above of my hopes and fears
Could it be before the foundations of time we were already IN Christ Jesus? I like to think so. I believe that's what that verse says. And somehow we are bound by time but HE is Not. And right now, we are in Christ resting at the right hand of the father in heaven. How? I love that we can't understand everything that we may enjoy placing our whole being in dependence on Him. Allowing Him to be the author and perfecter of our faith.
HE has given us a new heart. HE makes all things new: the old has gone the new has come! He is faithful to continue to redeem our lives through Christ's work in and through us.
I know my God saves the day and
I know His word never fails and
I know my God made a way for me:
SALVATION is here!
HE brings light to the dark places if we will only surrender and let him. If we will take the first step and deal with our 'stuff' He is faithful to restore and redeem and heal, bringing resurrection power into the places in our heart that we think are dead. Dont be afraid- if you think you are being exposed before him you are deceived. He already sees you- and still He allowed Christ to die in your place- oh man does He LOVE you!
He has made us alive in Christ Jesus and is transforming us by renewing our minds to the specific personal areas He is doing this.
He's not bringing up the hard stuff for punishment but for the sake of wholeness: salvation: healing: VICTORY! FREEDOM! It awaits you on the other side of brokenness. Then your life will change. Others will see. Christ will be so at home in your heart that He explodes into the lives of those around you. And your priesthood will begin, and the world will be changed.
Salvation is here
Salvation is here and He lives in me
Salvation is here Salvation that died just to set me free
Salvation is here Salvation is here and He lives in me
Salvation is here
Cause You are alive and You live in me
I see all around me where God is undoing the legalism that many churches have brought in.
The GOSPEL in all its purity and truth is doing what it should. It's real, and active and alive- sharper than a double edge sword dividing soul and spirit joints and marrow- His Spirit/Salvation is alive and well in you and me- transforming our very minds to line up with what He desires: the very best for us for His glory! Salvation is not a lofty idea but a person!
SALVATION is HERE AND HE LIVES IN ME! I am changed. Constantly.
"When Christians begin to see that it is as godly to be a businessperson, lawyer, homemaker, artist, or doctor as it is to be a missionary, pastor or church leader, they will once again become salt and light. When all believers become priests once again, we will see the end of full time Christian ministry as a separate and superior calling." -michael horton
Go my priestly friends- be-loved and love!
