God Chose Us

 “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.”
 Ephesians 1:4 TPT
 

 God chose us 
 To be His very own
 Joining us to Himself 
 Before He made the universe!
 Lovingly ordaining us
 As His holy ones
 

 The very first people
 Were innocent and pure
 Made in God’s image
 He gave them this earth to rule
 And a choice to stay like that
 Or go their own way without Him
 

 They chose to go their own way
 To rule without God
 And it broke their hearts and spirits
 As shame and fear took control
 Destroying their relationships 
 With God and other people
 

 But God had chosen us 
 To be His very own
 Joining us to Himself 
 Before He made the universe!
 Lovingly ordaining us
 As His holy ones
 

 Death was the outcome
 Of choosing life without God
 But God had plans to overcome
 The damage we have done
 And restore us to life in Him
 Living with Him as one
 

 Because God chose us 
 To be His very own
 Joining us to Himself 
 Before He made the universe!
 Lovingly ordaining us
 As His holy ones
 

 God sent us a Savior
 A holy, righteous One
 His unity unbroken
 With this most beloved Son
 His Son became human
 To bring us home to Him
 

 Because God chose us 
 To be His very own
 Joining us to Himself 
 Before He made the universe!
 Lovingly ordaining us
 As His holy ones
 

 Jesus lived an amazing life
 That only God‘s true Son could
 Full of forgiveness, love and wisdom
 That no one truly understood
 But the light of His Presence 
 Showed God‘s power to overcome
 

 As one with humanity
 Jesus took our broken identity
 Took our wrongs and condemnation
 Into His death like they were His
 Freeing us from their prison
 To live in His powerful resurrection 
 

 Because God chose us 
 To be His very own
 Joining us to Himself 
 Before He made the universe!
 Lovingly ordaining us
 As His holy ones
 

 This gift of restoration
 Of new life, one with God
 With His powerful Holy Spirit
 Imparting all He is to us
 His holiness and righteousness now central to our being
 His wisdom and insight, our thinking healing
 

 Now One with God 
 We can hear His voice daily
 Do all life with Him
 Empowered by His Spirit 
 To be God’s Sons like Jesus
 All God’s Kingdom inherit
 

 Because God chose us 
 To be His very own
 Joining us to Himself 
 Before He made the universe!
 Lovingly ordaining us
 As His holy ones
 

 The life that Jesus lived
 Full of forgiveness, love and wisdom
 And the power to overcome
 Our brokenness with His healing
 Now flows daily from us
 Through our unity and oneness
 

 This is the answer 
 To all the worlds problems
 Enabling us to care 
 For all creation
 As God’s children and sons
 Fill this world with love and blessings
 

 Because God chose us 
 To be His very own
 Joining us to Himself 
 Before He made the universe!
 Lovingly ordaining us
 As His holy ones

The Light of Your Life


“In the very beginning the Living Expression was already there. And the Living Expression was with God, yet fully God. They were together— face-to-face, in the very beginning. And through his creative inspiration this Living Expression made all things, for nothing has existence apart from him! Life came into being because of him, for his life is light for all humanity. And this Living Expression is the Light that bursts through gloom— the Light that darkness could not diminish!” John 1:1-5 TPT

The light of Your life Jesus defines our lives
For You are our origin and our eternal home

Jesus I Rejoice In

““Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean. Your filth will be washed away, and you will no longer worship idols. And I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you. I will take out your stony, stubborn heart and give you a tender, responsive heart. And I will put my Spirit in you so that you will follow my decrees and be careful to obey my regulations. “And you will live in Israel, the land I gave your ancestors long ago. You will be my people, and I will be your God. I will cleanse you of your filthy behavior. I will give you good crops of grain, and I will send no more famines on the land. I will give you great harvests from your fruit trees and fields, and never again will the surrounding nations be able to scoff at your land for its famines.”
Ezekiel 36:25-30 NLT

Jesus I rejoice in the fullness of Your cleansing
To erase all past mistakes and redirect my current intentions
Knowing all that’s wrong in me has been by You redeemed
And I can now rest in Your Spirit’s direction

Oh the beauty of Your Salvation
Giving me New Life at Your cost and intention
Love that declares over me “You are forgiven
And born anew in My resurrection!”

Jesus I rejoice in the new heart You’ve given me
A tender, loving heart full of Your love’s direction
No longer broken and sin hardened into stone
Because You dwell now in my heart and we are One.

Oh the beauty of Your Salvation
Giving me New Life at Your cost and intention
Love that declares over me “You are forgiven
And born anew in My resurrection!”

Jesus I rejoice in my new spirit
Whole and holy, through Your deeds and merit
Enabling me to live by Your side eternally
As a child of God’s Kingdom, all that’s Yours I too inherit

Oh the beauty of Your Salvation
Giving me New Life at Your cost and intention
Love that declares over me “You are forgiven
And born anew in My resurrection!”

Jesus I rejoice in being bound to Your Spirit
My spirit one with Yours, sealed into Your merit
Raising me to God’s side on Your throne
Sharing with me Your place in heaven as my home

Oh the beauty of Your Salvation
Giving me New Life at Your cost and intention
Love that declares over me “You are forgiven
And born anew in My resurrection!”

Jesus I rejoice in the harvest You create
Through and around me so all can see Your Kingdom’s greatness
The power of Your Salvation blessing me and others
So the world can see Your Glory, Your loving Presence

Oh the beauty of Your Salvation
Giving me New Life at Your cost and intention
Love that declares over me “You are forgiven
And born anew in My resurrection!”

Lament on Pain

Every moment of pain I experience
Causes me to doubt the fullness of Your Presence
How can it be You fill me to overflowing
When pain is my awareness, overcoming?

Surely the fullness of Your Presence

The Power that released all from Satan’s oppression
The Power that spoke violent storms into silence
The Power that raised the dead to life eternal

Surely the fullness of Your Presence
Means Your full Power is now also Present?
The Power that created this whole universe
Made the forces holding stars and planets in place
Spoke in light which has overcome the darkness
Made plants and animals to live on this planet

The touch of Your hand healed the leper completely
Peter’s mother was healed at Your spoken command
Touching Your garment healed the lady who was bleeding
How can Your Presence in me do anything less?

Each day I seek to experience the truth
Of Your Presence in me, sealed by Your Spirit
The fullness of the promises, written in Your Word
All that I receive through Your death and resurrection

I wait each day, Your promise to experience
The fullness of Your Presence in all it’s completeness
I lean into You Jesus, trusting You are there
I need Your strength and faith to help me endure

I dream of the day when this burden is lifted
When I am strong and pain free as my maker intended
When the completeness of Your Salvation
Is glorified in my body’s physical condition

Surely the fullness of Your Presence
Means Your full Power is now also Present?
The Power that healed all that came to Your for healing

There are times I have experienced Your overwhelming Power
Healing my heart and mind with Your Love’s Power
Unable to stand in the Power of Your Presence
Your overwhelming Love is such a wonderful experience

I seek to know that same Power in my body
Healing all that’s wrong now and for eternity
Releasing me from torment to live as Papa God’s son
The fullness of Your Presence, making us as One

Surely the fullness of Your Presence

I want the strength to rejoice in You every day
I want the Power to give Your Love away

Each day that I come to the end of my tether
You bid me take one more step, come a little bit further
Like Peter walking on water, when I feel I am sinking
You give me Your hand Lord, rescue me from negative thinking

I need that sign of hope, now today my Lord
I need some comfort, some experience of Your Word
I need Your Living Water to get me through this desert
I need Your voice and Presence as a daily experience

Surely the fullness of Your Presence
Means Your full Power is now also Present?
The Power that healed all that came to Your for healing
The Power that released all from Satan’s oppression
The Power that spoke violent storms into silence

When My Life Began Again

My old self died with You on the cross
And You gave me a brand new, loving life
Filled me with everything that You are
Renewed each day in Your Resurrection Life

When my life began again in You Jesus
You took my sins, the wrongs I’ve done
And replaced them with Your Righteousness
Filled me with everything that You are
Renewed each day in Your Resurrection Life

When my life began again in You Jesus
You took my broken and sinful self
And replaced it with a whole and Holy One
Filled me with everything that You are
Renewed each day in Your Resurrection Life

When my life began again in You Jesus
You took my broken and hardened heart
And replaced it with a whole and loving one
Filled me with everything that You are
Renewed each day in Your Resurrection Life

When my life began again in You Jesus
You took my broken and wayward spirit
And replaced it with a whole and loving one
Filled with everything that You are

You took my brand new living spirit
And joined it to Your Holy Spirit of life

““Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean. Your filth will be washed away, and you will no longer worship idols. And I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you. I will take out your stony, stubborn heart and give you a tender, responsive heart. And I will put my Spirit in you so that you will follow my decrees and be careful to obey my regulations.” Ezekiel 36:25-27 NLT
“For he [Jesus] is the complete fullness of deity living in human form. And our own completeness is now found in him. We are completely filled with God as Christ’s fullness overflows within us. He is the Head of every kingdom and authority in the universe! Through our union with him we have experienced circumcision of heart. All of the guilt and power of sin has been cut away and is now extinct because of what Christ, the Anointed One, has accomplished for us. For we’ve been buried with him into his death. Our “baptism into death” also means we were raised with him when we believed in God’s resurrection power, the power that raised him from death’s realm. This “realm of death” describes our former state, for we were held in sin’s grasp. But now, we’ve been resurrected out of that “realm of death” never to return, for we are forever alive and forgiven of all our sins!
...we receive directly from him, and his life supplies vitality into every part of his body through the joining ligaments connecting us all as one. He is the divine Head who guides his body and causes it to grow by the supernatural power of God.” Colossians 2:9-13, 19b TPT

The Fullness of Your Presence

The Fullness of Your Presence
“For he [Jesus] is the complete fullness of deity living in human form. And our own completeness is now found in him. We are completely filled with God as Christ’s fullness overflows within us.” Colossians 2:9-10a TPT
“Since we first heard about you, we’ve kept you always in our prayers that you would receive the perfect knowledge of God’s pleasure over your lives, making you reservoirs of every kind of wisdom and spiritual understanding. We pray that you would walk in the ways of true righteousness, pleasing God in every good thing you do. Then you’ll become fruit-bearing branches, yielding to his life, and maturing in the rich experience of knowing God in his fullness! And we pray that you would be energized with all his explosive power from the realm of his magnificent glory, filling you with great hope. Your hearts can soar with joyful gratitude when you think of how God made you worthy to receive the glorious inheritance freely given to us by living in the light.”
Colossians 1:9-12 TPT

To know my heart, mind and spirit are one with You in unity


There is nothing more valuable than Your wisdom and insight
To guide my thoughts, direction and actions

So that every moment You are part of My essence
To feel Your Glory fill every part of my body

We Were Designed

Ephesians 1:4-6; Genesis 1:26-27; 3; Exodus 20:18-21; Exodus 32; Psalm 106


We were designed to live as one with God
From the very beginning when we were imagined in His heart
He wanted us to be members of his family
To be united with Him, Father, Spirit and Son


When Adam and Eve were born into this world
They were free to choose if they would follow  God
When they chose independence of God for their direction
This damaged who they were, broke their heart, mind and spirit


Shame about their actions now became their driving force
In fear they hid their brokenness from God and others
Blame shifting and lies became their solutions
Faith and trust was broken, in God, self and others


The result of this brokenness is detailed in the Bible
As people hurt each other and many rejected God
God’s judgment and destruction and confusion of their language
Reduced the damage they did but was not the solution


We were designed to live as one with God
From the very beginning when we were imagined in His heart
He wanted us to be members of his family
To be united with Him, Father, Spirit and Son


God chose Israel as His nation and His people
Freeing them from slavery with the wealth of their captors
God’s mighty miracles to rescue and sustain them
Did not stop them from worshiping manmade idols


When God invited Israel to be his special people
To be in His Presence, to speak to them in person
In fear and shame Israel refused this invitation
Asking  for His instructions which from a distance they’d obey


Armed with God’s Law Israel though they had the answer
To pleasing God from a distance which they thought safe
But laws do not make a broken people whole
As people and a nation God they rarely obeyed


We were designed to live as one with God
From the very beginning when we were imagined in His heart
He wanted us to be members of his family
To be united with Him, Father, Spirit and Son


But God had a solution for our brokenness
To make all our sins, over us, powerless
He had a way for our broken self to die
And be reborn in Him, in the twinkling of an eye


God sent Jesus to show us the life
We could live if we were truly God’s child
And to take our brokenness into Him
And die for us, with us and our sin


Then God gave us Jesus powerful resurrection 
As our new life and our new direction
A new heart and spirit, made in His image
United with His Spirit to complete our family lineage


We were designed to live as one with God
From the very beginning when we were imagined in His heart
He wanted us to be members of his family
To be united with Him, Father, Spirit and Son


Now we can rejoice as part of God’s family
Living in and from His Kingdom, now, daily
His love and peace, righteousness and joy
Is our dwelling place once we are re-born


So when you see the troubles in this world
People behaving badly, people being hurt
Know that the solution is not found in man and law
Only re-birth in Jesus has the power to heal us all


We were designed to live as one with God
From the very beginning when we were imagined in His heart
He wanted us to be members of his family
To be united with Him, Father, Spirit and Son

Adam and Eve 1

Conversations with God: Adam and Eve 1

“So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. Then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it. Reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals that scurry along the ground.” Then God said, “Look! I have given you every seed-bearing plant throughout the earth and all the fruit trees for your food. And I have given every green plant as food for all the wild animals, the birds in the sky, and the small animals that scurry along the ground—everything that has life.” And that is what happened. Then God looked over all he had made, and he saw that it was very good! And evening passed and morning came, marking the sixth day.” Genesis 1:27-31 NLT

The very first thing God said to people was blessings. So God’s heart and desire, first and foremost is to bless us. He loves to bless us. Blessing is a core part of God’s character that we can rely on to be there for us. So how can we interact with this truth?

Ask God the following questions. Pick the one that jumps out at you or any that just appeal, or all.

Write down the answer (the words or pictures that appear in our mind almost before the question has finished. Write them down without criticism or analysis. Leave that till you are finished. If what you heard is kinder or better than anything you would say, is like the Jesus in the Bible, you can be sure it was God).

What blessing does God want to bestow today on your spouse/nearest relative/closest friend?
How can you partner with God in them receiving that?

Who do you know that God wants to bless through you?
What blessing does God want to bestow on them?
How can you partner with God in them receiving that?

What blessing does God want to bestow today on you?
How can you partner with God in receiving that?

The blessings God gave to Adam and Eve we inherit. So how can I interactively receive these blessings by asking God one or more of these following questions:

How does God want to bestow fruitfulness today on you?
How can you partner with God in receiving that?

How does God want to bestow multiplication today on you?
How can you partner with God in receiving that?

How does God want you to fill the earth today?
How can you partner with God in doing that?

How does God want to bestow fruitfulness today on you?
How can you partner with God in receiving that?

How does God want you to use your governance/rulership on the earth today?
How can you partner with God in receiving that?

How does God want to bestow food on you today?
How can you partner with God in receiving that?

I Rejoice

I Rejoice
"Be cheerful with joyous celebration in every season of life. Let joy overflow, for you are united with the Anointed One!" Philipians 4:4 TPT


I rejoice in the day You first showed me You loved me
Not because I had earned it but because of who You are
You called me to live in Your love forever
You gave me a new and loving heart


I rejoice every time You show me Your forgiveness
Show me I am cleansed from sin forever
Show me that I can be pure and holy
Leaving each day in Your righteousness


I rejoice in knowing that in You I’ve been reborn
With a heart and spirit now made in Your image
Reborn as a child of the Most High God
The old me is dead and buried in Your grave


I rejoice in knowing that I’m joined to Your Spirit
Bound in unity with Father, Spirit and Son
I dwell in You and Your fullness dwells within me
One with You now and for eternity


I rejoice in living from Your Spirit’s empowerment
Your love, joy and forgiveness flowing through me to others
Your understanding renewing my thinking
In Your wisdom is the answers that I am seeking


I rejoice in resting in Your Loving Embrace
As I feel Your Presence fill me with God’s essence
All darkness is consumed in the light of Your love
Your purity and holiness filling me to overflowing


I rejoice in Your mighty Resurrection Power
That raised me from death to Your Heavenly Throne
Made me a co-heir of the mighty Son of God
Your Kingdom authority with me You share


I rejoice that I am given the great privilege
Of bringing Your Kingdom to earth to save others
Healing, deliverance, resurrections and provision
You are the answer to all our problems


I rejoice that I am with You each day in heaven
By God’s side dwelling in blessing
The joy and love, light and music of heaven
Your dwelling place is my home now and forever


I rejoice in the joy of the Trinity for each other
I rejoice in the joy of the Trinity for me!
Dancing and rejoicing in being with each other
Living in Love’s embrace for eternity!

Huggs

“I am contending for you that your hearts will be wrapped in the comfort of heaven and woven together into love’s fabric. This will give you access to all the riches of God as you experience the revelation of God’s great mystery—Christ. For our spiritual wealth is in him, like hidden treasure waiting to be discovered—heaven’s wisdom and endless riches of revelation knowledge.
In the same way you received Jesus our Lord and Messiah by faith, continue your journey of faith, progressing further into your union with him! Your spiritual roots go deeply into his life as you are continually infused with strength, encouraged in every way. For you are established in the faith you have absorbed and enriched by your devotion to him!
For he is the complete fullness of deity living in human form. And our own completeness is now found in him. We are completely filled with God as Christ’s fullness overflows within us. He is the Head of every kingdom and authority in the universe!” Colossians 2:2-3, 6-7, 9-10 TPT
Ephesians 6:10-11, 14-18 TPT
