Iligan Chapter

Amen

jera

2 This time I will not question,
This time I won't go free, 
This time I shall lie quiet,
This time He touches me.

Do, Lord, what You will Freely thus in me Without reservation, All is well with me.

2 Though valleys seem forever, Few hills, yea, far between I ask not for relief from What's measured out to me.

Do, Lord, what You will Freely thus in me Without reservation; All is well with me.

3 I know the way is narrow, The course is long and rough; As long as You are happy, Your smile - it is enough.

Do, Lord, what You will Freely thus in me - Without reservation; All is well with me.

This Time I Will Not Question (cover)| JC, ED

almost been a year since the first time I've joined TOLT and heard this hymn.  

Oh dreamer of God, don't falter
Though challenges life may bring

Have faith in His plan though far it may seem.

Believe! Be encouraged!


Stars and sheaves [cover] w/ Jack | Eve

My goal is God Himself, not joy, nor peace,
Nor even blessing, but Himself, my God;
'Tis His to lead me there — not mine, but His—
At any cost, dear Lord, by any road.

So faith bounds forward to its goal in God,
And love can trust her Lord to lead her there;
Upheld by Him, my soul is following hard
Till God hath full fulfilled my deepest prayer.

No matter if the way be sometimes dark,
No matter though the cost be oft-times great,
He knoweth how I best shall reach the mark,
The way that leads to Him must needs be strait.

One thing I know, I cannot say Him nay;
One thing I do, I press towards my Lord;
My God my glory here, from day to day,
And in the glory there my great Reward.

Isaiah 61:1

The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah is upon Me,  / 
Because Jehovah has anointed Me / 
To bring good news to the afflicted; / 
He has sent Me to bind up the wounds of the brokenhearted, / 
To proclaim liberty to the captives, / 
And the opening of the eyes to those who are bound

Isaiah 61:1 [Melody of Lilies-Cover] | w/ AnaheimB

NS11

Love covers all things and believes all things,
Love hopes in all things and endures all things.
Love never falls away and won’t be rendered useless.
But other things will pass away.

Life is the element of God, who’s love;
Hence God as life is shown by love, through you.
Don’t neglect love, but pursue it first;
Love makes a person spiritual.

Love suffers long and love is kind, so kind,
Love does not brag, is not puffed up,
Love rejoices when God’s truth is manifest,
Love is the element of God.

If I speak in tongues, but do not love, I am
Like sounding brass giving lifeless sounds, not life.
If I know all mysteries but do not love my brother,
I have no love and am nothing.

About 700 years before Christ’s birth, the prophet Isaiah wrote, “The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah is upon Me, / Because Jehovah has anointed Me / To bring good news to the afflicted; / He has sent Me to bind up the wounds of the brokenhearted, / To proclaim liberty to the captives, / And the opening of the eyes to those who are bound” (Isaiah 61:1).

This prophecy was fulfilled centuries later in Nazareth of Galilee in ancient Israel. One Sabbath day, the Lord Jesus entered the local synagogue and was handed the scroll of Isaiah’s writings. He opened to 61:1-2, read it aloud, and told those in attendance, “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing” (Luke 4:16-21).

This announcement was the proclaiming of the jubilee, which, in Old Testament times, occurred every fiftieth year. In the Old Testament jubilee, slaves were released from bondage, and each family’s allotted portion of the good land was restored to them. The year of jubilee in the Old Testament is a picture of the entire New Testament age, the age of grace, when God’s salvation is freely available to anyone who believes in Jesus Christ!

The one making the announcement was anointed by God. An anointed person is one who is chosen and sent to accomplish a certain task. The literal meaning of the word Christ is “the anointed One.”

Jesus Christ was anointed by God not only to accomplish redemption for us but also to carry out the wonderful commission in Isaiah 61:1-2. He takes away our sins, but He also releases us from the bondage of sin by giving us His life, heals our broken hearts, and opens our eyes, which were blinded by Satan’s deception, to see the wonderful truth in God’s Word!

If you haven’t yet received the jubilee proclaimed by the Lord Jesus, you can do so by praying this simple prayer:

“Lord Jesus, I believe in You. I confess that I am a sinner. Thank You for coming as the Christ to die for my sins and to proclaim the jubilee. Come into me to be my life. Release me from all the things that bind and afflict me. Open my eyes to see all that You have done for me.”

The text of Isaiah 61:1 is quoted from the Recovery Version of the Bible, published by Living Stream Ministry (used by permission).

The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah Is Upon Me (Isaiah 61:1)

The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah Is upon Me (Isaiah 61:1)

1.
A standing sheaf,
A shining star.
My dream reveals
Who God's people are.
We're full of light,
And life divine,
We live in Christ,
In us He shines.

A "master of dreams,"
I choose to live in what I've seen.
For Christ in me beams,
A shining star, a living sheaf.

2.
Though many fail,
And fall to sin.
It doesn't change—
God’s chosen them.
We’re not a judge,
But shepherds true.
We overcome
So they can too.

3.
The world is but
A glance away.
It speaks to me
To sin each day.
But I will flee,
With others too.
We reign as kings,
The lust subdue.

Yes, I’ve seen the dream!
I live in Christ and He in me!
His word I believe!
The vision’s real and reigns in me.

4.
We won't be swayed
To love the world.
Though ev'n betrayed,
We'll gain the Lord.
Restricted now,
In grace He'll train,
The coming age
With Him to reign.

A Master Of Dreams

John 16:22 & 33

Have you had your cup, your cup of Christ in the morning?
Start your day with a little restoring
With Christ as your new beginning
What better way to start than to start the day singing?

	Turn, turn your heart in the morning
	Take His blood, be washed from all things
	Nothing's too big or small for Him,
	He's righteous and He will forgive
	Exercise your spirit in this way

Have you had your cup, your cup of Christ in the morning?
Start your day with a little restoring
With Christ as your life-giving drink
He'll fill your cup, He'll fill you up, until you sink in Christ

	Drink, drink up Christ in the morning
	Drink the One who's overflowing
	In your heart, from the throne He's flowing
	To reach you. With the tree that's growing
	To cherish, to nourish, to refresh, to supply you

Have you had your cup, your cup of Christ in the morning?
Start your day with a little restoring
With Christ as the heavenly air
Just by one simple prayer, you can breathe Him anywhere,

	Call, call His name in the morning
	Join yourself to the One who's soaring
	Transcending over everything,
	Just call His name and breathe Him in
	Don't think; the breath knows where to go
	
Have you had your cup, your cup of Christ in the morning?
Start your day with a little restoring
With Christ as your first and best love
Let Him love you, He's really good at recovering you.

	Love, love your Lord in the morning
	Open wide to His adorning
	By loving you, making home in you,
	Just love your Lord with all your heart,
	With all your soul, with all your mind and strength

Cup of Christ

1
Everything seems to be a downward spiral
But I’m on an upward path;
Currents flow against me, still I keep on going.
Wond’ring if I’ll ever last,
“Do not fear”—I hear the voice of my Christ Jesus:
“Just have faith, for I am the Lord.
All will pass, but what you have in you’s eternal.”
So I simply trust His word.

Chorus:
I am not ashamed to be a Christian!
I am not ashamed to love the Lord!
I am not afraid to stand up for Him no matter what I’m told!
The world can’t understand,
But nonetheless I’ll stand;
Fire will only manifest the gold.

2
Though I feel like I’m the only one that’s different
In these cruel, crooked times,
I will be the salt that kills the world’s corruption
And the light that brightly shines.
Lord, it seems like I’m the only one who’s standing;
Could it be, I’m left on my own?
“Worry not for I have set apart a remnant
Who, like you, seek Me alone.”
 
Chorus:
We are not ashamed to be Christians!
We are not ashamed to love the Lord!
We are not afraid to stand up for Him no matter what we’re told;
The world can’t see it now,
But time will tell, somehow
Fire will only manifest the gold!

I Have Come To The Fountain Of Life (Hymn 523)

2 Corinthians 12:14-15 (W/ Ben Sandlin)

This hymn was composed during my second term in the training (Malabon) where almost everything's in chaos. My heart was full of anxieties, doubts and fears. Inspite of this, the Lord is still faithful to carry me through.  At first, I don't understand His ways. But later, the Lord showed me Himself. Job 42:5 says, I had heard of You by the hearing of the ear,  But now my eye has seen You.

He is sovereign over all things. Just let everything go, and let the Lord do. He is continually perfecting us, training us wherever we may go. It doesn’t matter where we’d be. His presence is simply enough, and it’s everything to us.

My heart was filled with sorrow,
                Em.                           Bm
When all anxiety Lord doth flow.
           C.                   G
How could I to distress let go?
                   Am.                    D
There's nothing in my hands can do.
           G.                      D
Do strengthen me, I want to know
                          C.                       G
If this would help me Lord to grow.
                     C.                          G
Lord, my prayer "May Your will be done".

Your heart's desire and mine be one.

Don't let me speak in my own ways.

                           Em.                     G
That blessing poured on me a lot.
                        C.                       G
Lord, may I humble not be proud,
          C.                    D.          G
And let me utter praise aloud.
 
2. Could I Lord to this world enslaved?
Should I still live, just like unsaved?
Why do my heart Lord shaken now?
When thinking things, I'd done O How?
There's no guarantee, O! unsecured
That my enjoyment Lord assured!
Lord, let my first love be recovered,
How I long Lord to be preserved!

I now am strengthened by Your word.
Your mercy ties me like a cord.
It holds me like a band of love,
My eyes set to the things above!
Let me not linger nor return,
But press toward You this my goal.
If by Your radiance I am shown;
Then to this world, no more I'll drawn.
 
 
3. Take me to the place, my heart's desire, 
Where I found You this my cry!
It doesn't matter where I'd be,
Your presence Lord enough for me!
Take me to the path where there is light,
Where there's no darkness in my sight!
May I would live this trained life, Lord;
More of perfecting Lord I longed!


Do perfect me until it's full!
I'll give my heart to You and all.
Let each encourage whom our soul,
Lord, doth afflicted be no more!
"My brothers in the Lord be strong.
Let heart surrounds with joyful song"
And now I let You Lord, take hold,
May each one go, Lord, make us bold!

We face decisions every day, big and small, and many times we don’t know which way we should take. Sometimes we find ourselves in unexpected situations—perhaps difficult, painful, or bewildering—things that seem to cast doubt over all our thoughts of the future and leave us fearful, stressed, and anxious.

As believers in Christ, even when we feel like we’re groping in the darkness, we can still look to the Lord Jesus as our way, as our light, and as our supply.

Isaiah 50:10 says, “Let him who walks in darkness and has no light trust in the name of the Lord and rely on his God.”

Even more, in John 14:6, Jesus said, “I am the way and the reality and the life.”

When we don’t know what path to choose, we can cling to Him as our Way. In the words of this song, He is in us, “just waiting for me to say, I love You, Lord.” When we turn to the Lord in this way, He is grace to us and leads us on.
