https://youtu.be/WkpbjsFdfKM

Blessed Be Your Name
In the land that is plentiful
Where Your streams of abundance flow
Blessed be Your name
Blessed Be Your name
When I’m found in the desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness
Blessed Be Your name
Every blessing You pour out, I’ll
Turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name
Blessed be Your name
When the sun’s shining down on me
When the world’s ‘all as it should be’
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be Your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there’s pain in the offering
Blessed be Your name
Every blessing You pour out I’ll
Turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name, oh
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name
You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord, blessed be Your name
God you give and take away
Oh you give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord, blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name, oh
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name
Blessed be Your name
You give and take away
God give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord, blessed be Your name
God you give and take away
Oh you give and take away
But my heart will choose to say
Lord, blessed be Your name
Oh you give and take away
God give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord, blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name, oh
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name
Blessed be Your name

When darkness tries to roll over my bones
When sorrow comes to steal the joy I own
When brokenness and pain is all I know
Oh, I won’t be shaken, no, I won’t be shaken
My fear doesn’t stand a chance
When I stand in Your love
My fear doesn’t stand a chance
When I stand in Your love
My fear doesn’t stand a chance
When I stand in Your love!
Shame no longer has a place to hide
I am not a captive to the lies
I’m not afraid to leave my past behind
Oh, I won’t be shaken, no, I won’t be shaken!
‘Cause my fear doesn’t stand a chance
When I stand in Your love
My fear doesn’t stand a chance
When I stand in Your love
My fear doesn’t stand a chance
When I stand in Your love!
Oh, I’m standing
There’s power that can break off every chain
There’s power that can empty out a grave
There’s resurrection power that can save
There’s power in Your name, power in Your name
There’s power that can break off every chain
There’s power that can empty out a grave
There’s resurrection power that can save
There’s power in Your name, power in Your name!
My fear doesn’t stand a chance
When I stand in Your love
My fear doesn’t stand a chance
When I stand in Your love
My fear doesn’t stand a chance
When I stand in Your love!
Oh when, when I’m standing in Your love
Oh, my fear doesn’t stand a chance
When I stand in Your love
My fear doesn’t stand a chance
When I stand in Your love
My fear doesn’t stand a chance
When I stand in Your love!
Oh, oh-oh, I’m standing in Your love
I stand in Your love
Standing on the rock
Oh, I’m standing, standing in Your love

Video: Singing “Why Should I Worry” Live @ Grace Point Baptist Church

https://youtu.be/ZtM_rzOH9_c

Out on the water, the storm raging high, the waters around them, troubled their mind,
With fear in their heart, they thought they might die, they failed to remember, the master was nigh.

He spoke the word; the winds all stood still, even the waters, obeyed his will.
He’ll calmed their storms, just like he will mine, If i’ll just remember, he lives deep inside.

Why should i worry, why should i fear, that very same Jesus, he stays always near.
He lives in my heart, he hears when i cry; I’ll call on the master till the storm passes by.

I read in the bible, how he walked with them, brought light to the darkness, when the way grew dim,
How Great it would be, to have his step leading mine, to walk with the master, all of the time.

But then trouble came, death was so nigh, they searched for the master, hoping he’d get there on time.
So when i’m in trouble, my bodies in pain, All i have to do, is call on his name.

Jeremiah’s Rescue

Scriptures: Jeremiah 37 & Jeremiah 38
Israel had asked Egypt to help them fight Babylon, the Chaldeans. However, Egypt returned to their own land and Israel was left alone to fight the Chaldeans. The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah that Jerusalem would be destroyed by Babylon unless they surrendered to them. Jeremiah was accused of treason, beaten, and put into prison by the princes. King Zedekiah came to Jeremiah to ask him if there was any word from the Lord. Jeremiah told him even though he knew it might mean he would be put to death. The king told them to keep Jeremiah in the court of the prison and give him a piece of bread daily until all the bread in Jerusalem was gone.
The princes were so angry with Jeremiah and the word from the Lord that he spoke that they asked the king to have Jeremiah put to death. The king told them to do with Jeremiah as they wished. They cast him into a dungeon where there was no water, letting him down with cords, into the mire to die. (vs.6)
However, there was a servant named Ebedmelech (typifying the Holy Spirit) in the king’s house that knew where Jeremiah was and he wanted to save him. The king grants Ebedmelech’s request and gives him 30 men to rescue Jeremiah from the pit. Ebedmelech gets old rags and threadbare, worn-out clothes from under the king’s treasury to use in Jeremiah’s rescue. Ebedmelech instructs Jeremiah to put these rags and cloths under his arms when the cords are let down to pull him out, just as the Spirit guides and teaches us. Ebedmelech knew this would ease Jeremiah’s pain and suffering as he was lifted up by the cords. (vs.11,12)
Jesus, our Savior, took our pain and suffering, putting on the flesh (the old rags) so that we could be lifted out of the mire of sin and death. His love, mercy, and grace are like those old rags that took away the pain and suffering in our soul.
We are like those old rags, too. We are worthless, serving no purpose without Him. In His hands, we are made useful, worthy, and have a purpose. We can be used by Him, like those old rags, to help ease the pain and suffering of others, help others come to Christ to be saved; help them to be lifted up out of the mire of sin.
All our righteousnesses are as filthy rags, but Jesus has made us righteous through His righteousness. (From Isaiah 64:6)
Jesus was lifted up on the cross to suffer and die so that we could be lifted up out of sin and death and be reconciled to God.
He lifted us out of the pit and set our feet upon the Rock-lifted us up and out of the mire and brought us over and into life, into a beautiful place, His kingdom. (From Psalm 40:2)
Jeremiah’s message from God was not popular as the Gospel message is still despised and rejected by many today. However, Jeremiah stood boldly with what God had given him. We are called to be Jeremiahs in our generation-claiming the Gospel, willing to be unpopular and unaccepted by the world for the Gospel’s sake.

Video: Singing “Sometimes It Takes A Mountain” Live @ Grace Point Baptist Church

https://youtu.be/is6yFMhtPII

I faced a mountain,
That I never faced before
That’s why I’m calling on the Lord
I know it’s been awhile,
Lord please hear my prayer
I need you like I never have before.
Sometimes it takes a mountain
Sometimes a troubled sea
Sometimes it takes a desert
To get a hold of me
Your Love is so much stronger
Then whatever troubles me
Sometimes it takes a mountain
To trust you and believe
Far from you Jesus
I thought I could control
Whatever life would throw my way
But this I will admit
Has brought me to my knees
I need you Lord and I’m not ashamed to say
Sometimes it takes a mountain
Sometimes a troubled sea
Sometimes it takes a desert
To get a hold of me
Your Love is so much stronger
Than whatever troubles me
Sometimes it takes a mountain
To trust you and believe

https://youtu.be/l8V0XlWfFGI

WHEN I WOKE UP THIS MORNING AND SAW A BRAND NEW DAY
I COULD FEEL THE WARMTH OF THE LORD SHINING MY WAY
ALTHOUGH CLOUDS OF DARKNESS HOVER OVER ME
I WILL RISE ABOVE EACH STORM, LIKE AN EAGLE I’LL BE FREE

CAUSE, HE’S TAKING CARE OF ME
IN WAYS, THAT I CAN NOT SEE,
HE’S WORKIN IT FOR MY GOOD JUST LIKE HE SAID HE WOULD
AND HE’S TAKIN CARE OF ME

NOW I WILL NOT BE TROUBLED
I WILL TRUST IN WHAT HE SAID
THERE’S NO NEED TO BE DISCOURAGED
FOR HE CAN SEE AHEAD
IF HE WATCHES ORE THE SPARROW
AND HE CLOSED THE EARTH AND GROUND
HOW MUCH MORE HE LOVES ME
WHAT A COMFORT I HAVE FOUND

Video: Singing “Redeemed By The Blood Of The Lamb” Live @ Grace Point Baptist Church

https://youtu.be/aEPm_bLJo70

I went down to the crimson river
Left my burdens on the shore
I went down a sinner, came up a saint
Died with Christ, now I’m reborn
Yes, He washed me in His mercy
And He cleansed me with His blood
Now I stand complete, I have been set free
I found life there in the flood
Not the same, I am changed
Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb
By His grace, I am saved
I’m His child, forever, I am
Hallelujah
Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb
Now I have the living water
From the well that won’t run dry
All the pangs of life have been satisfied
By the precious blood of Christ
Not the same, I am changed
Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb
By His grace, I am saved
I’m His child, forever, I am
Hallelujah
Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb
When it’s time to cross that river
I will shine in glorious light
When He calls me home, I’ll fall at His throne
And forever worship Christ
And forever worship Christ
I’ll forever worship Christ
I’ll forever worship Christ
Not the same, I am changed
Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb
By His grace, I am saved
I’m His child, forever, I am
Not the same, I am changed
Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb
By His grace, I am saved
I’m His child, forever, I am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb
Oh redeemed, I’m redeemed, how I love to proclaim it
Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb
Redeemed by His infinite mercy
His child, and forever, I am
10 And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying: “Now the salvation,
and the power, and the kingdom of our God,
and the authority of his Christ have come,
and the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down,
who accuses them day and night before our God.
11 And they have conquered him by the blood
of the Lamb, and the word of their testimony…
We overcome by the blood of the Lamb
We overcome by the blood of the Lamb
And the word of our testimony
The word of our testimony
We overcome by the blood of the Lamb, yes
We overcome by the blood of the Lamb
And the word of our testimony
The word of our testimony
We overcome by the blood of the Lamb
We overcome by the blood of the Lamb
And the word of our testimony
The word of our testimony
We overcome by the blood of the Lamb
We overcome by the blood of the Lamb
And the word of our testimony
The word of our testimony
We overcome by the blood of the Lamb
We overcome by the blood of the Lamb
And the word of our testimony
The word of our testimony
We overcome by the blood of the Lamb
We overcome by the blood of the Lamb
And the word of our testimony
The word of our testimony
We overcome by the blood of the Lamb, yes
We overcome by the blood of the Lamb
And the word of our testimony
The word of our testimony
We overcome by the blood of the Lamb
We overcome by the blood of the Lamb
And the word of our testimony
The word of our testimony

Seeking a Greater Vision of God’s Glory

The angel of the Lord appeared unto Moses in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush, a bush that was not consumed by the fire. God called Moses’ name and Moses answered, “Here am I.” God told Moses to take off his shoes for the place where he stood was holy ground. When God spoke to Moses from the burning bush while Moses was tending his father-in-law’s sheep in Horeb, Moses hid his face because he was afraid to look upon God.
Exodus 3:6 – “Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.”
Later, Moses desired to see more of God’s glory and asked God to grant this. Moses’ bold request to now see God’s glory unveiled shows that a transformation had occurred in Moses.
Exodus 33:18-23

18 And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory.19 And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy.20 And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.

21 And the Lord said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock:

22 And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by:

23 And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.

Moses had seen the glory of God in His miracles in Egypt,  parting the Red Sea, the pillar of cloud and fire in the wilderness, the thick smoke-filled cloud on Mount Sinai, and much more. He had seen “kabod”, the unmatched magnificence and incomparable power of God, but Moses asked for “Shekinah” glory, the “dwelling glory” of God- a life-transforming experience, to look upon His grandeur, His holiness, His divinity.
God told Moses that He could not let him see His face, His full glory because man could not see God and live. God told Moses that there a place beside Him, a rock to stand on, and when His glory passed by Moses, God would put Moses in the cleft of the rock and would cover Moses with His hand as he passed by. God said, “And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back part: but my face shall not be seen.” (Exodus 33:23) God had allowed Moses to see the glory that was to come through the promised one, Christ at Calvary. We can not see the glory of God in the flesh because the carnal is not of God, it is not spiritual. The flesh is incapable of comprehending God’s glory and majesty.
God’s glory is only revealed through His Son, Jesus. It is when a person is hid in the cleft of the rock, the chief corner stone, Jesus, that there is any access to God’s presence and glory. When Christ died on the cross and the soldier pierced Jesus’ side and forth came blood and water- the church was born, covered by grace and filled with the indwelling presence of the Holy Ghost. The Father’s magnificent glory is revealed in the Son, and the Son’s glory is in the Father.
We are hidden completely from God’s wrath and righteous judgment at Jesus’ side alone. We are His bride on His arm- “Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved?” ~ Song of Solomon 8:5
Moses desired and thus asked to see God’s glory, choosing the good part just as Mary did while sitting at His feet. A Christian should desire a closer relationship with Christ, listening, learning, being still at His feet and beholding His glory. We should be crying out to our heavenly Father, “God, show me Your Glory!”
 “In the year that kind Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple… The seraphim cried  unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.” ~ Isaiah 6:1,3
“And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.” ~ Revelation 21:23
