"You Are Making It Personal"

This was pastor's confession unto the Lord recently, during prayer.

Pastor then said, God saved us so that He could talk to/speak to (or commune with) us on a personal level; that we can be made participants in the Godhead.  [Pastor; 2 Cor 6:16]

note. The Lord made us for a relationship; and out of that relationship “all things are yours;” because, as “joint heirs,” what's His is ours. [Pastor; 1 Cor 3:21b; Rom 8:17]

note. “Salvation” is the “power of God” demonstrated; such that our 'impossibility' must be joined to the 'possibility' (of God); that the “impossible” may be accomplished in/thru and for us.                                  [Pastor; Rom 1:16; Lk 1:37] 

There is a “specific' faith for a “certain” salvation; and

faith is a response to who God is, and what He promised; “for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.”

[Pastor; Heb 11:6]

WE DO BELIEVE,

WE DO BELIEVE IN YOU.

WE DO BELIEVE,

WE DO BELIEVE IN YOU.

WE DO BELIEVE,

WE DO BELIEVE IN YOU,

AND WE'RE GOING TO PRAISE YOUR NAME!

His Power To Us-ward Who Believe

Our heavenly Father has ordained “A Specific Faith;” having a special quality (or power), that we could walk with Him in a very “sure” relationship; built on a “sure” foundation. [Pastor; Isa 28:16c]

The Lord, Jesus, is the “stone” of Daniel, and Isaiah; and the rejected “stone” of Matthew 21:42; destined to become “the head of the corner” (aka chief cornerstone).

[Dan 2:34; Isa 28:16; cf Ps 118:22]

As Christ was tempted, and tried; so shall our faith be tried, by fire; to prove it's praise worthiness, at Christ's appearing; that our faith would stand in the power of  God. [Heb 4:15; 1 Pet 1:7; 1 Cor 2:5]

As a “man,” Christ's model (blueprint/example) for faith was His earthly father Abraham; the father of us all. [Pastor]

[1 Tim 2:5; Rom 4:16; cf Isa 51:1-2 “Look unto Abraham”]

  

Concerning that “Stone;” which was Christ, Isaiah concluded: “He that believeth on Him shall not be ashamed.” [Isa 28:16d/AMP]

ThenSingsMySoul:

WE ARE NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST

FOR IT IS GOD'S POWER OF SALVATION

TO EVERYONE THAT BELIEVES IT

TO EVERYONE THAT RECEIVES IT

WE SHALL HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE!

The Testimony Of The Lord

Celebration 2013 has been a whirlwind of prayer and thanksgiving; as our generation praised the works of the Lord, in Grace and Truth, to the generation that is coming after us.

[Ps 145:4]

As Pastor rehearsed His deeds among us, he reminded us, as a Fellowship, that God's miraculous doings in our history are only a sign, that “every record of what God has done is a promise of what He will do again;” saying, IF HE DID IT BEFORE, HE'LL DO IT AGAIN!  

[Pastor; Heb 13:8; Tye Tribett]

  

The root meaning of the word “testimony” is “to repeat again;” that the virtue of the speaking will release Abba's hand, to manifest His power in bringing and sending us forward; while sustaining us, to do His will. Where God guides, He provides.

[Pastor; Gen 22:8, 14 Jehovah Jireh]

By the “hearing” of our ears, we have been enabled to “taste and see that the Lord is good;” and that “no good thing will He withhold from them who walk uprightly.”

[Ps 34:8a; 84:11c]

ThenSingsMySoul:

THE LAW OF THE LORD IS PERFECT, CONVERTING THE SOUL.

THE TESTIMONY OF THE LORD IS SURE,

MAKING WISE THE SIMPLE.

MORE TO BE DESIRED ARE THEY THAN GOLD,

YEA THAN MUCH FINE GOLD;

SWEETER ALSO THAN THE HONEY

FROM THE HONEYCOMB.

[Ps 19:7, 10]

With All Thy Getting

Our Lord, Jehovah, declared; thru His prophet Jeremiah:  “I will give you pastors according to Mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.”

[Jer 3:15]

That's where being shepherded into His “rest” [GTFI vision] takes on an entirely new meaning; like having our perspective transformed, by the renewing of our mind; shifting our focus from I/me/my unto Him, who is the author and finisher of our faith.

[Rom 12:2; Heb 12:2]

The Apostle James, in his letter to the church, wrote: “If any man lack wisdom, let him ask of God, Who giveth to all men bountifully ...and he shall receive it.”

[Jas 1:5/implied; Jn 16:24]

Wisdom speaks, thru king Solomon; the wisest man on earth, saying, “Wisdom is the principle thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting, get an understanding.”

[1 Ki 3:9-12; Prov 4:7]

ThenSingsMySoul:

SHOW (US) YOUR WAYS,

THAT (WE) MAY WALK WITH YOU.

SHOW (US) YOUR WAYS,

(WE) PUT OUR HOPE IN YOU.

THE JOY OF (OUR) HEART IS TO LOVE YOU MORE,

TO LIVE WITH THE TOUCH OF YOUR HAND;

STRONGER EACH DAY, 

SHOW (US) YOUR WAYS.
