May Your People Rise!
Yes, pray with passion, for the people;
To grow in zeal, for the LORD;
Be surrendered, emptied vessels;
Awaiting Jesus, His Spirit poured.
Expectations, Preparations for All Believers
May churches multiply, have vision;
Equip and train, mentor God’s people;
Send them forth, to reproduce;
Not merely sat, beneath a steeple.
A Modern Pharisee or Disciple? (Rule-Keepers or Jesus Believers?)
Are using Scripture, not as a mirror;
But as a weapon, to beat others;
And so, break God’s commands;
For they fail, to love another.
A Controlling Spirit
You find a deep need;
To have your own way;
So, the plans of all others;
Must follow your say.
Will We Obey?
Yet many churches, too clergy centered
The ‘Lay-people’, passive spectators
In church activities, weekly rituals
But not discipled, equipped as laborers.
Enter His Rest
Have you entered God’s presence;
Of quiet rest, and peace;
To abide in Christ Jesus;
From ‘self’, be released?
Grow Our Faith in God
So, grow your faith, pleasing God;
Open wide your mouth, Lord fill it;
Believing God, is all able;
For Your glory, send Your Spirit!
Impeachment
Let us pray for repentance;
May God’s Spirit be poured;
And His people in DC;
Uphold the truth, before the Lord.
God Still Speaks
So, spend much time, alone
With God’s Word, in prayer
Do ask, wait upon Him
Keep knocking, He will share.
Suffering and God’s Sovereignty
Yes, God promises us His grace;
Sufficient, for our hour;
His strength, is made perfect;
In our weakness, His power.
