Defeat my Giant

Oh my God, You are my God.
You are King of the universe
You are the God of the angel armies
You are the Master of all creation
You alone stand in perfect power

Come and aid me!
Pour Your Spirit into me and strengrhen me
Give me courage and strength like Joshua
Father send me confidently into my promised land
Help me for all i see are the giants

My heart burns to follow and obey
to do the bidding of You Lord
hungry to be a vessel of Your love


My hands ache to reach out for You
to land hand on the sick
to see them recover

my feet are ever so eager to go
to carry the good news of freedom
and watch the enslaved become free

Help me defeat my giants Father
fear of failure, low self esteem
help me trust You and not my own sight
tear from me the desire of self preservation

Arise and be actively working inside me
causing me to grow more and more hungry to follow
daily burning hotter to do Your will
grow my love of Your commands
that i may be ever more eager to keep them

I ask You my King, the Holder of my heart
to invade my whole being
change me from the inside out
make me like You because i am my own giant

Defeat my Giant

Your Prayers Release His Power

Day-17 Your Prayers Release His Power

Repentant

Oh Father, the door stood open
Jesus You held out Your hand
Holy Spirit a warning You alarmed
visual, consideration, action, birth - sin

Father come to my aid
forgive me again
I am not worthy of Your Sons blood
But Your grace pours it on me anyway

Father consider my sad existence
this world of flesh in which i find my abode

how it fights me at every turn
Its desire like a dog after the scent of a female

Consider, my Creator, my weak and poor state
that there is no good in me but You
I long for You to be all thats in me
help me overcome as i stand up again

Oh Jesus I know Your are patient and kind
You hold my hand as i rise to You
through true repentance I come
A hard lesson learned indeed
from even the appearance of evil flee!

The day after Freedom

The closer you get to Jesus the harder your heart burns for the lost.

I have spent many hours praying for people i may never meet, people whose name I do not even know. The more that Jesus helps me the more i want to help others.

I find that my hearts burns for people to understand the truth that they can really trust God.

I find that my tears flow freely when Jesus is quickly rejected.

I find that my view changes the more time i spend with Jesus.

The encouraging thing is that with all the burning, crying and view changing I am reminded, as is my enemy, that Gods Word is alive and active in me. In You too. This is our hope that we can pray God to be active in other peoples lives. We can allow the Holy Spirit to pray through us things we don't know, Gods will flowinng  through us in the form of prayer.

You see it does not matter if you have never meet the man you are praying for because as you pray more and more for him, or her, you feel Gods heart for them. The closer you get to Jesus the more your heart reflects, feels and responds like Gods ------  desirous that all should come to salvation. 

Physical Pain

My God who sits in heaven
Who rules in righteousness and truth
By the power of His word I was made
My lips continually praise Your name
For You are marvelous and wonderful

Though my flesh cries and weeps
I will press on and not fear tomorrow
Though pain grips my chest
I will glory in the privilege to shine
For in such a time I can glorify Jesus

Speaking confidence in Him
Speaking belief and faith in His will

Without complaint, without anger
But by love and the power of Gods hand
When I am chosen to be tested
Will I let it slip from me
Never! Be it a time to cling to God

To show my trust is in who He is
In the rough and the soft meadows
And I shall run fully out into the storm
When it rises on the horizon
For then it is my turn to ride strong winds
In this I will mount on eagles wings
And fly higher than I could before
Oh such mystery it is to me!

Thru pain we grow and in weakness He is strongest
When my body is sorely pained and weak
Ands as sleep eludes me, hiding in the shadows
That Your Spirit calls to my spirit
And sustains me as if I were first awakened
My spirit at peace, content and full of Joy

When my mind is clouded
And my own thoughts are a mystery to me
Your Spirit, oh God speaks out for me
And calls on my behalf
Interceding and speaking to the Father
The very things that are needed

In these day I will grow deeper with Him
He will meet me at the mountain top when I arrive
And dine with me at the table He prepared
He will look at the enemy and send him away
For in all things did I continue to praise Gods name

Oh joy and happiness
To know such provision has been made for me
The Spirit that lives within me
The same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead
The Spirit that bears witness for who I am in Christ
Calls out for my deliverance and rescue
Speaking all that I need both day and night.
