The Spirit Of Grace

 

I will destroy
all the nations

that come against
Jerusalem

pouring out
My Spirit of grace

so you know who
I really am.

**********

I can pray for my nation, for You are with me.

**********

“It shall be in that day that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.”

“And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they have pierced ; they will mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn.”

Zechariah 12:9,10 NKJV

Zealous

 

You are zealous
for Jerusalem

comforting her
again

showing her
great mercy

building Your house
within.

I am zealous for Jerusalem, for You are with me.

“I am zealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with great zeal.”

As Holy Sacrifices

 

I will rebuild
your ruined places
planting what’s been
desolate

My Holy flock
of sacrifices
filling the cities
by My Spirit.

You establish me as a holy sacrifice.

“Then the nations that are left all around shall know that I, the LORD, have rebuilt the ruined places and planted what was desolate. I, the LORD, have spoken it, and I will do it. I will also let the house of Israel inquire of Me to do this for them: I will increase their men like a flock. Like a flock offered as holy sacrifices, like the flock at Jerusalem on its feast days, so shall the ruined cities be filled with flocks of men. Then they shall know that I am the LORD. “. Ezekiel 36:36,37,38 NKJV

This Is Jesus

 

I am Jesus
I am He

who opens eyes
so they can see

who heals what’s broken
mends what’s lame

Hosanna – Blessed
praises proclaim.

You establish who You are to me.

“Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD! Hosanna in the highest! And when He had come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying ,’Who is this?’ So the multitudes said, ‘This is Jesus’. Then the blind and the lame came to Him in the temple and He healed them.” Matthew 21:9,10,11,14

Sought Out

 

As Jerusalem is called
Sought Out
and the City
Not Forsaken

so shall you be
My redeemed
the hope holders of
My salvation.

You establish the name by which I shall be called.

“And they shall call them the Holy People, the Redeemed of the LORD; and you shall be called Sought Out, A City Not Forsaken.” Isaiah 62:12 NKJV

The Consolation

 

The Consolation of Israel
has come

salvation for
everyone

the Glory of
Your people

pure Light of
revelation.

A laid down life sees Jesus.

“And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon, and this man was just and devout, waiting for the Consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. So he came by the Spirit into the temple. And when the parents brought in the Child Jesus, to do for Him according to the custom of the law, he took Him up in his arms and blessed God and said: ‘Lord now You are letting your servant depart in peace according to Your word, for my eyes have seen Your salvation which You have prepared before the face of all peoples, a light to bring revelation to the Gentiles, and the Glory of Your people Israel. ‘” Luke 2:25,27,28,29,40,31,32 NKJV

All My Springs

 

It is said
‘all my springs
are in you’
oh My Jerusalem

and those born here
are recorded
by the Great
I Am.

A laid down life loves what God loves.

“Glorious things are spoken of you, oh City of God. The Lord will record, when He registers the people: ‘This one was born there.’ Both the singers and the players on instruments say, ‘All my springs are in you.'” Psalm 87:3,6,7 NKJV

Of Good Cheer

“But the following night the Lord stood by him and said, ‘Be of good cheer, Paul; for as you have testified for Me in Jerusalem, so you must also bear witness at Rome.’ ”  Acts 23:11 NKJV

Paul had been brought into the barracks and detained.

Thank You, Lord, for being with us and helping us see our circumstances differently.  And here’s a simple poem . . .

I am
with you

so be of
good cheer

for you will
bear witness

so others
can hear.

God bless you as you are of good cheer today!

With Great Joy

“Now it came to pass, while He blessed them, that He was parted from them and carried up into heaven.
And they worshiped Him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,
and were continually in the temple praising and blessing God. Amen.”  Luke 24:51-53 NKJV

I love how Jesus returned to reassure the disciples before being carried up into heaven.

Thank You, Lord, for Your loving patience with us.  And here’s a simple poem . . .

All that I
have told you

you will
one day see

with eyes
of understanding

and a mind
that’s set free.

God bless you as He reassures you today.
