Subject: Hillsong... Touch the Sky
I am in love with this song!!!!
Do you find yourself at His feet again? Then reach up and surrender it all, all that He asks. You truly do find heaven when your knees hit the ground.
God has showed me so much in my walk with Him. I believe everything I read in the bible because He is what Revelations 1: 8 says. Not to mention God said it. "I am Who is, Who was, and Who is to come."
He's healed the sick, caused the blind to see, the deaf to hear, the crippled to walk, brought the dead to life again. All of this is a piece of cake for God.... What God has no control over is, free will. Free to do drugs, be an alcoholic, get an abortion, sex addiction, murder, same sex relationships, and the list goes on. How you choose to live, or abuse your body and the gift of life is a choice.
Take a look at this world, and I don't know how people can say that the bible is just a story book. It's a book of life. The living word of God. Ask me how I know? I've seen what God can do in my own life, and my loved ones. He's healed sickness, healed marriages, brought my aunt back when the doctors said "call the family, she's going." He's proved to me that He is the God of the impossible. So "Woe to me"... if I have seen, and confess Jesus as my Savior, and still look like the world, Isaiah 6: 5.
God is a good and loving God, but we have to choose for ourselves how we are going to serve a Holy God. He gives us many chances to get it right. That's grace. But just like a loving parent, there comes a time when you tell your child, "enough is enough!" Then there comes the punishment for their choices. Think about that. We don't want to punish our children, but it teaches them, and protects them from harm. God teaches us too. Sometimes the hard way because we just don't listen or submit to authority. God will never insist that we obey anything He's told us in His word. But if we don't, than we have made a decision that we are Lord of our own lives. Again, He gave us free will. We are free to, to it bluntly, spit in His face and trample on grace, and yet He will never say a word. But once that ray of light shines into your heart, and penetrates deep into your soul, this is when you realize that He has the right to have complete authority in your life.
I guess that's why so many people today disobey authority, because they don't recognize it. So to them, they are doing nothing wrong. How could they be doing wrong if they don't recognize higher authority, and have no conscience.
God didn't create any of us with a list of, "you must do this and not that." The will of God is to be one with Jesus Christ. He said for us to learn from Him, and that's what I live for. He created me to recognize His Son Jesus Christ. When I see how Jesus loved and obeyed His Father, I want, and choose to do the same. I am not forced to, and no, I am not brain washed. I choose to!!
Revelations 4: 11, He captured my heart and is so worthy of all my praise, for ALL MY LIFE! I found my life when I laid it down.....
