Overshadowed

 

It’s not about
how important we are

or well known
and liked

but about God’s
Holy Spirit

overshadowing
our lives.

**********

“Then Mary said to the angel, ‘How can this be, since I do not know a man?'”

“And the angel answered and said to her, ‘The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God.’ “

“For with God nothing will be impossible.”

Luke 1:34,35,37. NKJV

A Better Hope

 

We draw near to God
through the bringing in

of a better
hope

according to the power
of endless life

our forever High Priest
arose.

**********

The One who draws us near to God is with me.

***********

“And it is yet far more evident if, in the likeness of Mechizedek, there arise another priest”

“who has come not according to the law of a fleshly commandment, but according to the power of an endless life.”

“. . . for the law made nothing perfect; on the other hand, there is the bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.”

Hebrews 7:15,16,18. NKJV

Upholding All Things

 

In these last days
You’ve spoken to us

through Your Holy
Son

Your Glory and Heir
Upholder of all things

the One who will
again come.

**********

The Heir, Creator and Upholder of all things is with me.

**********

“God . . .”

“has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds;”

“who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high . . .”

Share In The Sufferings

 

We’ve been saved and called
with a holy calling

by His own purpose
and grace

to share in the sufferings
for the gospel

bringing forth His power
and praise.

**********

I can suffer for the gospel according to Your power, for You are with me.

***********

“Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God,”

“who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began . . .”

2 Timothy 1:8,9. NKJV

If you have
a spirit of fear

it does not come
from Me

for I give you love, power
and a sound mind

so you can think
clearly.

I can use the gifts You have given me without fear, for You are with me.

You Are Good

 

Oh Lord You are good
and great in power

guiding my feet in the way
they should go

and in the day of
pain and trouble

You are my faithful
stronghold.

You are great in power and You are with me.

For His Name

 

With power
according to the Spirit

by His resurrection
from the grave

we receive grace
for obedience

to the faith and honor
of His name.

You are with me and give me grace to obey.

“Jesus Christ our Lord, declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead.”

“Through Him we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith among all nations for His name, among whom you also are the called of Jesus Christ. “

To Save

 

I did not come
to destroy

to punish or
condemn

but with power
and with love

to heal and save
all men.

You establish why You came for me.

“For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives but to save them.” Luke 9:56 NKJV

Seasoned

 

I will
season you

with Holy Spirit
fire

so you
continue to live

by My purpose
and power.

You establish my purpose.

“For everyone will be seasoned with fire, and every sacrifice will be seasoned with salt. Salt is good, but if the salt loses its flavor, how will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace with one another.” Mark 9:49,50 NKJV

Rain Maker

 

You are the only One
with the power

to make it rain
to make it shower

You are He
the Lord our God

on whom we wait
hour by hour.

You establish Your importance in my life.

“Are there any among the idols of the nations that can cause rain? Or can the heavens give showers? Are You not He, O LORD our God? Therefore we will wait for You, since You have made all these.” Jeremiah 14:22 NKJV
