Ephesians 1:11 First Meditation

I praise and thank You Papa God that through our union with Christ we too have been claimed by You as Your own inheritance. Before we were even born, You gave us our destiny; that we would fulfil Your plan, for You always accomplish every purpose and plan in Your heart. Ephesians 1:11 TPT

This is Your plan
This is Your purpose
That we be One with Jesus
That we bring heaven to earth
And You will see it done

Before We were even born
You planned Jesus would be our Saviour
That we would be made One with Jesus
Fulfilling Your purpose in this world
You planned We would be Your inheritance
The treasure You gain through Jesus death
Many sons and daughters of man You rescue
To make us new as Sons of God

This is Your plan
This is Your purpose
That we be One with Jesus
That we bring heaven to earth
And You will see it done

You saw us in our rebellion
Saw the broken world we would create
And planned that all would be re-created
Through Jesus death and resurrection
Jesus carried all our nature, all our sin
All the brokenness and pain we live in
Into His death and into the grave
So that in His resurrection new life we’d receive

This is Your plan
This is Your purpose
That we be One with Jesus
That we bring heaven to earth
And You will see it done

Into Jesus new life we are re-born
With a new heart and spirit united with Jesus
His love and forgiveness overflowing from us
As we live lives full of His Holy Spirit
The power of Your plan to make us all like Jesus
The power of Your love reaching out to heal this world
Comes through the power of His indwelling Spirit
As in unity we build Your kingdom through Your Word

This is Your plan
This is Your purpose
That we be One with Jesus
That we bring heaven to earth
And You will see it done

Ephesians 1:10 Second Meditation

I praise and thank You Papa God that because of Your unfailing purpose, Your detailed plan of salvation will reign supreme through every period of time until the fulfilment of all the ages finally reaches its climax—when You make all things new in all of heaven and earth through Jesus Christ. Ephesians 1:10 TPT

Your purpose, Your plan
Is to make all things new
Your salvation reigns supreme
Through Jesus Christ our King

He was born in a stable
A child of common birth
For Jesus came to rule with love
Other people to serve

Your purpose, Your plan
Is to make all things new
Your salvation reigns supreme
Through Jesus Christ our King

He altered the lives
Of everyone He met
Crowds of people flocked to Him
Rulers saw Him as a threat

Your purpose, Your plan
Is to make all things new
Your salvation reigns supreme
Through Jesus Christ our King

He bought us new understanding
God’s Love He made clear
Release from sin and all it’s curses
Forgiveness and new life

Your purpose, Your plan
Is to make all things new
Your salvation reigns supreme
Through Jesus Christ our King

On the cross He died our death
Took our old man to the grave
Then He rose again with new life
So in Him we would be saved

Your purpose, Your plan
Is to make all things new
Your salvation reigns supreme
Through Jesus Christ our King

A new heart and new spirit
Was His resurrection gift
Sealed in us by His Spirit
Empowered by His love, joy and peace

Your purpose, Your plan
Is to make all things new
Your salvation reigns supreme
Through Jesus Christ our King

To sit with Jesus by God’s side
Reign over heaven and earth
Being one with Jesus
Is the power of our rebirth

Your purpose, Your plan
Is to make all things new
Your salvation reigns supreme
Through Jesus Christ our King

Ephesians 1:10 First Meditation

I praise and thank You Papa God that because of Your unfailing purpose, Your detailed plan of salvation will reign supreme through every period of time until the fulfilment of all the ages finally reaches its climax—when You make all things new in all of heaven and earth through Jesus Christ. (Ephesians 1:10 TPT)

Your plan is to make all things new Papa God
And Your plan begins and end in Jesus

Jesus died to pay for all our sins mess
The lies and hurts and brokenness
He was the one pure sacrifice
Whose death held the power to give us new life

Your plan is to make all things new Papa God
And Your plan begins and end in Jesus

In Jesus death we can bring to let die
Our bondage to sin, our heart’s led astray
Our woundedness, our unhealthy life
Can be nailed to His cross and buried in His grave

Your plan is to make all things new Papa God
And Your plan begins and end in Jesus

Through the power of Jesus’ resurrection
We can gain new life, a whole new direction
A new heart and spirit joined with Jesus as One
Sealed in by His Spirit living in us

Your plan is to make all things new Papa God
And Your plan begins and end in Jesus

As we are made new in the image of Your Son
Your kingdom comes to this earth through us
And through us this work grows and is done
As we renew our world just as Jesus’ commanded

Your plan is to make all things new Papa God
And Your plan begins and end in Jesus

The works that we saw Jesus on earth do
The healing, deliverance and forgiveness too
Sharing all that He is and has with us daily
His life lived in us is Your renewal happening

Your plan is to make all things new Papa God
And Your plan begins and end in Jesus

As we take up the place in Christ You have given us
We can speak words of healing, salvation, deliverance
We can release Your kingdom’s power into this world
And re-create it through the power of Your Word

Your plan is to make all things new Papa God
And Your plan begins and end in Jesus

Matthew 9:32 Meditation

“While they were leaving, some people brought before Jesus a man with a demon spirit who couldn’t speak.” Matthew 9:32 TPT

These people brought a man
Who could not speak to You
They may not have known why he was dumb
But they knew who to bring him too
For they put their faith in You Jesus
For healing and deliverance

We know nothing of these people
Or from whence they came
All we can say we do know
Is where they chose to put their faith
For they put their faith in You Jesus
For healing and deliverance

Who knew it was a demon
That kept the man from speaking?
Matthew does not explain
There is little detail given
But they put their faith in You Jesus
For healing and deliverance

It was a simple act of faith
For a friend or relative
But it showed in whom they trusted
To cure the man’s lack of speech
For they put their faith in You Jesus
For healing and deliverance

In this modern world
Most likely many would scoff
At demons causing dumbness
Or Jesus as the cure
But they put their faith in You Jesus
For healing and deliverance

This sort of child-like faith
In Your authority and power
Is something I want Jesus
For it gives You all glory
I want to put my faith in You Jesus
For healing and deliverance

There are times in our lives Lord
When we need the help of others
To bring us to You
Because we are somehow silenced
To put their faith in You Jesus
For healing and deliverance

Help me to be the friend
That comes alongside others in need
To bring them to you
To know you love and freedom
To put our faith in You Jesus
For healing and deliverance

Matthew 9:29-30a Meditation

“Then Jesus put his hands over their eyes and said, “You will have what your faith expects!” And instantly their eyes opened—they could see! Matthew 9:29-30a TPT

The hands that created the stars and planets
The hands that created mankind
Touched the eyes of these two men
And they were no longer blind
Now they could see in reality
The One who had healed their eyes

Jesus it’s You who open our eyes
To see You’re the Son of God

The faith these two men had for healing
Their faith in Jesus as Lord
Brought them to Jesus seeking
To have their sight restored
Jesus’ touch was their answer
Seeing Jesus was their reward

Jesus it’s You who open our eyes
To see You’re the Son of God

Their faith and Jesus’ touch
Combined in a miracle
That immediately restored their sight
To see Jesus standing by
That moment’s joy, that moment’s delight
Brough restoration to their lives

Jesus it’s You who open our eyes
To see You’re the Son of God

Being blind they were probably outcasts
Living in poverty outside the city
But Jesus in one single touch
Made them clean and whole again
Gave them another chance at life
To live and work as normal men

Jesus it’s You who open our eyes
To see You’re the Son of God

Jesus I come in faith to You
Faith in You as Saviour and Lord
I seek to feel Your touch today
To experience faith’s reward
To be healed of all my ills
And see Your face with open eyes

Jesus it’s You who open our eyes
To see You’re the Son of God

Jesus I come in faith to You
Faith in You as Saviour and Lord
I be Your touch for someone today
So they can experience faith’s reward
To be healed of any and all ills
And see Your face with open eyes
Jesus it’s You who open our eyes
To see You’re the Son of God

Ephesians 1:9 Second Meditation

I praise and thank You Papa God that through the revelation of the Anointed One, You unveiled Your secret desires to us—the hidden mystery of Your long-range plan, which You were delighted to implement from the very beginning of time.” (Ephesians 1:9 TPT)

God:
Know from the very beginning
I delighted in you
So I chose to make you My Son
One with Jesus, united in love

For You are My very delight
The joy over which I sing
I want to embrace you for eternity
To live with you by my side

So when I sent Jesus to show you
What being My Son was like
It thrilled My heart when You chose Him
To be your Saviour and Lord!

For You are My very delight
The joy over which I sing
I want to embrace you for eternity
To live with you by my side

Though Jesus death was painful
Like My Own Heart was crucified
The joy of setting you free from sin
To live by my side was Our great reward

For You are My very delight
The joy over which I sing
I want to embrace you for eternity
To live with you by my side

To see you live from your new heart
Your new spirit joined to Mine
To see you becoming like Jesus
Is My greatest joy and delight!

For You are My very delight
The joy over which I sing
I want to embrace you for eternity
To live with you by my side

So come, take your seat with Jesus
As He sits at My right hand
To rule and reign together with Us
All heaven and earth is at Our command

For You are My very delight
The joy over which I sing
I want to embrace you for eternity
To live with you by my side

Mathew 9:28 Meditation

“And they followed him right into the house where Jesus was staying. So Jesus asked them, “Do you believe that I have the power to restore sight to your eyes?” They replied, “Yes Lord, we believe!”” Matthew 9:28 TPT

It would appear
At least initially
Jesus didn’t hear their cry
For mercy and healing
As He walked by
For He did not respond immediately 

Perhaps He was tired
As it was getting late
Or maybe the noise of the crowd
Was far too loud
Or maybe Jesus was making sure
They knew what they were asking for

Whatever the reason for the delay
When Jesus got to the place where He would stay
He turned and spoke to the two blind men
Asked if they believed in His power to heal
To give sight to the blind
They said, ‘yes we believe’

There is a power in testimony
A power in what we do and say
It shows the direction we are going
Demonstrates where we put our faith
And these two blind men had determined
Jesus was their healing Lord

If it seems there is delay
And healing is not straight away
Pursuing Jesus builds our faith
Brings us to the healing place
Where we can say with certainty
In your power to heal Jesus, I believe

It is not that Jesus loves us less
Causing delay in His responses
For on the journey we may find
Hindrances have been left behind
And in the questions Jesus asks
Our faith in him is purified

Although these two men could not see
They were not blind to Jesus healing
They were not blind to Jesus love
They were not blind to Jesus Mercy
They were not blind to Jesus power
And they trusted in Jesus as their Lord and provider

Help me Jesus to be in their place
Never blinded to Your love, mercy and grace
Always trusting in Your power
To be my healer and my deliverer
Always seeking out Your Presence
For Your life eternal is my life‘s essence

Ephesians 1:9 First Meditation

I praise and thank You Papa God that through the revelation of the Anointed One, You unveiled Your secret desires to us—the hidden mystery of Your long-range plan, which You were delighted to implement from the very beginning of time.” (Ephesians 1:9 TPT)

In Jesus Papa God
Were Your secret plans revealed
To re-create and save us
Make us full Sons of God!

Just as Jesus was born
Of Mary’s union with Your Spirit
So we who call Him Saviour
Are reborn in union with Your Spirit

Just as Jesus Christ
Was a sinless man
So in Him we’re re-born pure
With a new pure heart like His

Just as Jesus grew in wisdom
Favoured by You and man as He matured
So we can mature in Him
As through His Word we are transformed

Just as Jesus through His suffering
Learned to listen and obey God
So we can mature in Him
As we listen and are empowered

Just as Jesus gave forgiveness
To all sinful men He met
So we can give out forgiveness
As we receive it from Him to give

Just as Jesus gave love
To all He encountered
So we can give His love
Because with Him we are united

Just as Jesus gave heaven’s blessings
Through healing and deliverance
So we can bless others
By His power working through us

Just as Jesus rules all
And is seated by Your side
So we are raised to rule with Him
His Kingdom is now ours!

Your long range plan, O God
Your choice and Your delight
Is to create many Sons from us
In unity with Jesus Christ

Matthew 9:27 Meditation

“As Jesus left the house, two blind men began following him, shouting out over and over, “Son of David, show us mercy and heal us!”” Matthew 9:27 TPT

Two blind man could not see
Where Jesus was going
But maybe they could hear
Where Jesus was
Somehow they knew
Jesus was now present
So they kept shouting out
To catch his attention

Though the illness they suffered
Meant they could not see Jesus
Yet they did not let it stop them
From seeking Him out
They shouted out to Jesus
To catch His attention
And it did not matter
Who else was there to hear them

Pride had no place
In the journey they were taking
Pride could not heal them
So they were choosing faith
They were asking Jesus
To demonstrate His mercy
And heal them of their blindness
Right there in that place

It was a journey of courage
And maybe desperation
For nothing else had worked
In their situation
They had probably tried doctors
And healing concoctions
But Jesus healing reputation
Had cause them to seek Him

They did not act
As though they deserved help
But instead begged for mercy
Put their trust in Jesus heart
Maybe they knew
How Jesus was forgiving
For they trusted in His mercy
To grant them their healing

In calling Jesus son of David
They were calling Him Messiah
The one who would save their nation
And be their own Saviour
To call on such a one
For mercy and healing
Was to trust in God‘s promises
Of His suffering servant

Their words were a witness
To all that were near
That they believed in Jesus mercy
Believed in His healing
Believed He was Messiah
One sent by God
To bring healing and salvation
As God had promised He would

If illness ever makes me blind
To where, Lord, You are
Help me to call out in faith
For Your mercy in that hour
Help me to be a witness
Of Your saving power
Hear Your voice, know Your touch
And feel Your healing power
