Sunday morning I woke with the following song on my mind. I think is it important to note what is on your mind. Also it is important to saturate your thoughts, your walk and all you do with things that impact your thinking…
“I’m so blessed” by Cain
I'm so blessed, I'm so blessed. Got this heartbeat in my chest
No, it doesn't matter about the rest. If I got You, Lord, I'm so blessed, I’m so blessed. Hallelujah, I'm blessed. … And when I count the problems that I see. Hope looks all but gone. But when I count the ways You're good to me. You got me counting all day long, oh, yeah. I’m so blessed, I'm so blessed. Got this heartbeat in my chest. No, it doesn't matter about the rest. If I got You, Lord, I'm so blessed
Confess it… we are blessed! No matter what anyone else says. I am blessed. You are blessed. Understand that fact.
Confess truth. We need God. And like I shared last week, we need revival from God that will change our lives, our families, our country and our churches. Literal revival that leads us spending time in the presence of God and being changed forever by Him.
Acts 3:19-20 NLT
Now repent of your sins and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped away. 20 Then times of refreshment will come from the presence of the Lord, and he will again send you Jesus, your appointed Messiah.
To repent is to change and go a different direction. Not in that verse what the outcomes are of turning to God. He will forgive our sins and refresh our lives. Literally this has impact that goes far beyond today and in to eternity.
There are so many times in history when God showed up, revival swept through lives and nations. My prayer is that it will happen again.
Habbakkuk 3:2 NIV
LORD, I have heard of your fame; I stand in awe of your deeds, LORD. Repeat them in our day, in our time make them known; in wrath remember mercy.
I have heard. But I want to see and experience it for myself, for my family and far beyond!
James 4:8 NIV
Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
That is the key. Come near to God. Make some clear choices to change.
John 1:14 NASB
And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us; and we saw His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
It is God in the flesh, Jesus send by the Father, that changes our lives. Beyond HIm. Look at His glory and spend time there because that is where our lives will change. That is where we will learn how to live differently.
May we pray for and seek revival that changes everything!
Psalm 80:19 NIV
Restore us, LORD God Almighty; make your face shine on us, that we may be saved.
