To see Your face Jesus

Is my heart’s desire

Like John did on Patmos

Or Stephen at his trial

So my earthly problems

Are obscured by You

And I’m caught up in worship

For praise is Your due

.

Open my eyes to see Your face

To talk with You and know Your embrace

So Your Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation

Makes me complete with You in union

.

To see You Papa God

Is my heart’s desire

Like Moses in the tabernacle

Or Job by his friends’ side

So my earthly problems

Are obscured by You

And I’m caught up in worship

For praise is Your due

.

Open my eyes to see Your face

To talk with You and know Your embrace

So Your Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation

Makes me complete with You in union

.

To see You Holy Spirit

Is my heart’s desire

Like the dove on Jesus’ shoulder

Or the Pentecost fire

So my earthly problems

Are obscured by You

And I’m caught up in worship

For praise is Your due

.

Open my eyes to see Your face

To talk with You and know Your embrace

So Your Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation

Makes me complete with You in union

.

A meditation on:

“I pray that the Father of glory, the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, would impart to you the riches of the Spirit of wisdom and the Spirit of revelation to know him through your deepening intimacy with him. I pray that the light of God will illuminate the eyes of your imagination, flooding you with light, until you experience the full revelation of the hope of his calling—that is, the wealth of God’s glorious inheritances that he finds in us, his holy ones!”

Ephesians 1:17-18 TPT

Before You even made us Lord

You knew we’d go astray 

Leaving your paths

To go our own way

So You planned our salvation

To send Your Son to save

Through His death and resurrection

He would save us from the grave

.

Like a diamond with it’s facets

That catch the light at every turn

Your salvation is a treasure

That we can never ever earn

.

You came to this earth

To show how we could live

When filled with Your Spirit

And Your Eternal Life

Healing and deliverance

Forgiveness and love

These are the hallmarks

Of your kingdom come

.

Like a diamond with it’s facets

That catch the light at every turn

Your salvation is a treasure

That we can never ever earn

.

You took our judgement and our sin

Died our sinful man’s death

Put it all in the grave

So we could leave it there

Then You rose from the grave

To give us Your Eternal Life

So we could live with You

Always by Your side

.

Like a diamond with it’s facets

That catch the light at every turn

Your salvation is a treasure

That we can never ever earn

.

Now You reign from heaven

At God’s right hand

And we are seated with You

At Your command

To rule and rein 

With Your authority

And as Sons’ of God

Bring to earth Your glory

.

Like a diamond with it’s facets

That catch the light at every turn

Your salvation is a treasure

That we can never ever earn

A meditation on:

“Every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realm has already been lavished upon us as a love gift from our wonderful heavenly Father, the Father of our Lord Jesus—all because he sees us wrapped into Christ. This is why we celebrate him with all our hearts! And he chose us to be his very own, joining us to himself even before he laid the foundation of the universe! Because of his great love, he ordained us, so that we would be seen as holy in his eyes with an unstained innocence. For it was always in his perfect plan to adopt us as his delightful children, through our union with Jesus, the Anointed One, so that his tremendous love that cascades over us would glorify his grace—for the same love he has for his Beloved One, Jesus, he has for us. And this unfolding plan brings him great pleasure! Since we are now joined to Christ, we have been given the treasures of redemption by his blood—the total cancellation of our sins—all because of the cascading riches of his grace.” Ephesians 1:3-7 TPT

“The father said, ‘My son, you are always with me by my side. Everything I have is yours to enjoy.” Luke 15:31 TPT

When the wine ran out 

At a village wedding

Most would have seen a lack

An embarrassing situation

But Jesus Kingdom thinking

Saw the solution in the making

Of abundant good wine

A Holy Spirit poured out sign

.

When God’s temple had become

Consumed by sales and making money

Most would have seen the need

To keep the temple running

But Jesus Kingdom thinking

Saw the need for quiet praying

With authority sent traders packing

To show God’s Kingdom reining

.

When Nicodemus questioned Jesus

About entry into heaven 

Most would have seen the rules

That Israel have been given

But Jesus Kingdom thinking

Spoke of a complete rebirth

Born again through God”s Spirit

A gift of eternal life

.

When Jesus saw a man

Who’d been ill for most his life

Most would have seen a cripple

Who was simply bound to die

But Jesus kingdom thinking

Saw God’s healing in the offering

By His command the man was walking

A sign of God’s Kingdom reigning

.

When Jewish leaders rebuked Jesus

For Sabbath laws broken

Some would have questioned

Jesus’ place in God’s Kingdom

But Jesus Kingdom thinking

As God’s Son saw Daddy working

And joined in the re-creating

Of this world to be God’s kingdom 

.

When a man chained and tormented

Fell at Jesus’ feet for mercy

Some would have seen a madman

Dangerous and dirty

But Jesus’ Kingdom thinking

Saw evangelist in the making

And sent the madman’s demons packing

A sign of God’s Kingdom’s freedom

.

When an adulterous woman

Was thrown at Jesus’ feet for judgement

The crowds just saw her sin

Saw her stoning as right punishment 

But Jesus’ Kingdom thinking

Saw forgiveness win the day

A sign that freedom from sin and shame

Is God’s Kingdom way

.

When Lazarus had died

And laid for days in the grave

All thought it was his end

That his life had been curtailed

But Jesus’ Kingdom thinking

Saw Lazarus come out living

Freed him from death’s decay

To show God’s Kingdom’s resurrection 

.

At Jesus’ trial and crucifixion

And death upon the cross

Satan saw his own victory

Thought Jesus had lost

But Jesus’ Kingdom thinking

Trusted God with the outcome

Knowing through His resurrection

With God we all could be One!

.

As I go through my day

And find problems in my way

I can think it is the end

And God’s plan is to condemn

But then Jesus Kingdom thinking

Shows me His loving way

So the power of His resurrection

Can be seen now, today

.

A meditation  on what “For Who has ever intimately known the mind of the Lord Yahweh well enough to become his counselor? Christ has, and we possess Christ’s perceptions.” (1 Corinthians 2:16 TPT) means in practice.

For Jesus has given me His eternal life

Where life ends with no hope for tomorrow

For Jesus has given me His eternal life

I will live forever as His Beloved Bride

When I do something wrong

Something I should not have done

I can take responsibility

And make things right if I can

But I do not need to live in blame

Or guilt or fear or crippling shame

I can look at the cross and say

Jesus died to take that sin away

.

Don’t chain the blame to me

Jesus forgave and set me free

He was judged for my guilt

And punished for my sins

And He died my death

So I could live in His holiness

Don’t chain the blame to me

.

When I say something wrong

Something I should not have said

I can apologise

And speak positives instead

But I do not need to live in blame

Or guilt or fear or crippling shame

I can look at the cross and say

Jesus died to take that sin away

.

Don’t chain the blame to me

Jesus forgave and set me free

He was judged for my guilt

And punished for my sins

And He died my death

So I could live in His holiness

Don’t chain the blame to me

.

When someone else does something wrong

Something they should not have done

They may have responsibility

To make things right if they can

But I don’t need to be their jailer

In blame and shame make them a prisoner

For when I look at the cross I see

Jesus died for their sin just like me

.

Don’t make a jailer of me

Jesus forgave and set us all free

He was judged for all our guilt

And punished for all our sins

And He died our all deaths

So we could all live in His holiness

Don’t make a jailer of me

.

Real justice does not lie

In human jails or recompense

For they can’t heal a broken heart

Or make us whole again

From all our hurts and prisons

Only Jesus sets us free

To live as His Beloved

One with Him eternally

.

Don’t make a jailer of me

Jesus forgave and set us all free

He was judged for all our guilt

And punished for all our sins

And He died our all deaths

So we could all live in His holiness

Don’t chain the blame to me
