May 16

We need to learn not only to be filled with the Holy Spirit but also to stay filled. We do this by becoming sensitive to His work within us. We need to know that the secret of walking in the Spirit is to immediately confess our sins and, by faith, to ask God to refill us.

. . . how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy spirit to those who ask him!

Luke 11:13

Thank You, Lord, that You have told us, “Be filled with My Spirit.” Give us the knowledge that by obeying that command we can live victoriously, to Your honor.

It's a Rental

I don't have to find my life here. I don't have to find the perfect man to marry. I don't have to find the perfect job. I don't have to make my mark. I don't have to be successful. I'm not investing in this life. I'm investing in the life to come. IN the One who created Love. I am getting a new body. I long for this. I long to be clothed in immortality and strength. I'm just passing through. 

My HOME is where I belong. With Jesus. Forever. I belong in that world. I belong with Him!

I'm free to hold things with open hands when I don't have to grasp them for my security. Life is able to move with open hands! It's not squeezed out. I am free! My security is not found in a man, a job or family. My security is found in the blood bought reality that Jesus owns my soul. Eternity.  

RENTAL. 

Feeling like a refugee
Like you don't belong to me
The colors flash across the sky

This air feels strange to me
Feeling like a tragedy
I take a deep breath and close my eyes
One last time
One last time

Storms on the wasteland
Dark clouds on the plains again
We were born into the fight

But I'm not sentimental
This skin and bones is a rental
And no one makes it out alive

Until I die I'll sing these songs
On the shores of Babylon
Still looking for a home
In a world where I belong

Where the weak are finally strong
Where the righteous right the wrongs
Still looking for a home
In a world where I belong

Feels like we're just waiting, waiting
While are hearts are just breaking, breaking
Feels like we've been fighting against the tide

I wanna see the earth start shaking
I wanna see a generation
Finally waking up inside

Until I die I'll sing these songs
On the shores of Babylon
Still looking for a home
In a world where I belong

Where the weak are finally strong
Where the righteous right the wrongs
Still looking for a home
In a world where I belong
A world where I belong

This body's not my home
This world is not my own
But I still can hear the sound
Of my heart beating out
So let's go boys, play it loud

And on that final day I die
I want to hold my head up high
I want to tell you that I tried
To live it like a song

And when I reach the other side
I want to look you in the eye
And know that I've arrived
In a world where I belong
In a world where I belong
In a world where I belong
Where I belong
Where I belong
Where I belong

Where I belong

I still believe we can live forever
You and I we begin forever now
Forever now
Forever
I still believe in us together
You and I we're here together now
Together now
Forever now
Forever now
Forever now
Forever
Forever
