How Lovely Is My LORD

How Lovely is my Lord, Oh GOD
How Lovely is my Lord
That You should give Your very Best for me
To die at Calvary
HE came to the world that HE created, established by each Word You spoke
HE was perfect and sinless and prayed for Your people
And in HIM they found deliverance, for their captivity had been broke
How Lovely is my Lord, Oh GOD
How Lovely is my Lord
That HE took the place that should have been mine
And rescued me from certain hell where eternity would be my time
The beauty of HIS Love Oh GOD
Is completely reflected in You
And now You see me as my Lovely Lord, covered in HIS blood
Covered in HIS righteousness and growing in HIS grace
With strong desires to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with the entire human race
With eyes of compassion I look and see your people all around
And there is no situation where Jesus should not be found
How Lovely is my Lord, Oh GOD
How Lovely is my Lord
That HE will never forsake or leave me
And HE Loves me totally
I thank You for my Lovely Lord and the continuous cleansing of my sins
Because each day is a new beginning, my future in HIM will never end


How Lovely is my Lord



John 4:24 Worship


I realize there are many biblical scholars who have defined and given commentaries on John 4:24 which reads, God is a Spirit; and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth. As Christians, many of us know that there are many ways to incorporate worship of GOD in our lives and everyday routines. The way we live, walk, talk and even think are among our personal expressions of worship. Our giving of tithes and offerings are another way of worshiping our heavenly Father. 
I really felt impressed by the Lord that when we worship GOD in spirit and truth, we are to worship in spirit (His Holy Spirit) and in truth (Jesus Christ). My KJV footnotes Philippians 3:3 which reads, For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh. This is exactly how I experience worship after praise that has led us into the throne room of GOD. I find myself trying to block out all distractions around me including myself. Forcing my self centered thoughts to look at Jesus and stay there, to press into GOD with a passionate desire that is difficult to describe. Then I am before GOD and my physical being seems to be non-existent during this time. I don't want to leave. I truly believe that worship is one of the closest (if not the closest) experiences, for lack of a better term, of being in GOD's presence. You can feel/sense HIS love for you and it is such an overwhelming and tangible expression. You have left finite time to enter into eternity to sit before your Father's feet.
That GOD would allow us to have these extraordinary supernatural moments with HIM, only seems to expound HIS eternal love. It is quite captivating to be in Almighty GOD's presence.And there is absolutely no way we could ever love or worship GOD outside of HIS Spirit and HIS Truth because we are incapable of recognizing Who HE is without HIS Spirit or Jesus Christ.


May GOD Bless You All In Jesus' Name.

Trying to Learn Hebrew

Recently, I have had the pleasure and blessing of attempting to understand the Hebrew language. I am reading the Bible in parallels from the Old and New Testament looking for those golden nuggets that reveal Jesus and the Hebrew translation really helps to solidify this study. I am glad that GOD has given me the opportunity to do this. For a long time, my thinking was "I am saved and that's all I need to know". That is right on some levels, but the quality of intimacy in knowing and seeing GOD in the Bible is so much more heightened when you see the connections of a plan HE designed to reveal HIS love for us. Right now, I settle for the Hebrew translation for the Old Testament and maybe just a little Greek in the New. It is just amazing that the evidence of What GOD did, Who GOD is and HOW HE is responsible for everything we know about is entirely in the Word of GOD. It is not in an unknown language. It is not a map consisting of mazes in order to find the answers for the previous statements. I even look at the pattern and significance of numbers in the Bible. I mean, wow! GOD has given, provided, repeated and confirmed over and over again what was going to be done, when it was going to happen and how the rest of everything will pan out.
        And its' all true. It has either come to pass, is happening now or it will come to pass soon. It just lifts me up when I am able to touch HIM through and in HIS Word. I spend a lot of time realizing what is in store for the people of GOD and how it will be so very worth it in the end of this lifetime. I would like to share some of the things that I have noticed, as I am sure others have gleaned similar thoughts as well from reading the Word of GOD. But I will wait till another post to submit those thoughts. GOD Bless You till the next time. I will have to see if I can post Hebrew on here too!
