2 Corinthians 12:9 cover

O Jehovah,  In The Morning

O Let Us Rejoice In The Lord Evermore

Here are the words:
1
Noah’s life was one that surely changed the age,
When he found the grace of God;
He was not afraid to stand against the world,
So he built the ark of wood.

 	Would you choose to be a living overcomer,
Be a person not ashamed to be a Jesus lover,
One who eats the tree of life,
And drinks the living water?
Would you choose to be a living overcomer,
To leave the world and consecrate
To be today’s age-turner?
I give myself to You for Your return.

2
Moses was a person who was called by God,
He was meant to turn the age;
He was God’s companion, he was for God’s move,
He was faithful, meek, and sage.

3
Samuel ministered to be a God-pleasing priest,
He was absolute for Him;
Samuel gave himself to be a Nazarite,
Saved from death, the world, and sin.

4
Daniel had companions, and they ate God’s Word,
From the world, they stood apart;
Through a praying spirit were aligned with God,
For His people, God’s own heart.

 	I will choose to be a living overcomer,
Be a person not ashamed to be a Jesus lover,
One who eats the tree of life,
And drinks the living water.
I will give myself to be an overcomer,
To see a heav’nly vision,
Keep my flaming spirit burning!
I give myself to You, to turn this age.

Choose To Be An Overcomer - 2015 National College Training

Here are the words:
1
God used John, the Baptist,
Who left his home and good past;
Left the religion of his age.
He turned from the oldness,
And spoke the Word with boldness,
“Repent and leave this crooked age.”

Chorus:
 	God needs the overcomers,
’Our dear Lord Jesus’ lovers!
Make us those who live to turn the age!
God needs the overcomers,
’Our dear Lord Jesus’ lovers!
Make us those who consummate the age!

2
God called Saul of Tarsus,
For His own plan and purpose,
Who became Paul, the apostle;
He saw a heav’nly vision,
Where there is no division,
In the one Body of the Lord.

3
God called Timothy, now,
Like-souled with Paul, who knew how
To pray and be soaked in the Word;
His spirit fanned into flame,
Lord, make my spirit the same,
An overcoming man of God!
 	Make us the overcomers,
Christ’s Bride, and God’s age-turners.
Make us those who consummate the age!

Great searchings of heart

Be Set Free

This Is The Year Of Jubilee

But You, Beloved

The Path of the Righteous - Prov. 4:18, Matt. 13:43

He Grew Up Like A Tender Plant - Isaiah 53

What is the Jubilee?

O conquering Savior, echo this prayer and accomplish it in all Your people's hearts!

A very sweet and precious hymn from Leila Naylor Morris, with an alternate tune.

Lyrics: courtesy of hymnal.net:https://www.hymnal.net/en/hymn/nt/383

Sweet will of God, still fold me closer,
Till I am wholly lost in Thee;
Sweet will of God, still fold me closer,
Till I am wholly lost in Thee.

My stubborn will at last hath yielded;
I would be Thine, and Thine alone,
And this the prayer my lips are bringing,
“Lord, let in me Thy will be done.”

I’m tired of sin, footsore and weary,
The darksome path hath dreary grown,
But now a light has ris’n to cheer me;
I find in Thee my Star, my Sun.

Thy precious will, O conqu’ring Savior,
Doth now embrace and compass me;
All discords hushed, my peace a river,
My soul a prisoned bird set free.

Shut in with Thee, O Lord, forever,
My wayward feet no more to roam;
What pow’r from Thee my soul can sever?
The center of God’s will my home.

Sweet will of God, still fold me closer,
Till I am wholly lost in Thee;
Sweet will of God, still fold me closer,
Till I am wholly lost in Thee.

Sweet Will of God (New Tune)

1. O Lord, how I have fallen because of my great sin
You may have forsaken me but here I am again
Standing on the shoreline right where I did begin
Oh where do I begin again

[Chorus]
Lord, You know; You know I love you though I’m fallen
Lord, You know; when I denied you how my heart had me deceived
Lord, You know; for Your forgiveness now my heart to you is calling
But I know that You still loved me when You called to Your disciples and me
Oh me and me

2. Casting nets on deep blue seas, my purpose yet unknown
Then light from (the) heavens came and turned my name to stone
But with all my confidence, to failure I was prone
Oh how could I atone?


3. If loving me He suffered, and to the cross was nailed
Would He cease from loving me just because I failed?
In my utter vanquishment, His heart’s love (He) unveiled
His love for me prevailed

Come to Me (Matthew 11:28-30)| With ZPE

If God Leads You(feat. Mikarahan)

with JK

Lord, dearest to my heart, I to Thine arms return;
All things from Thee apart can nevermore disturb.
When first in love Thou called, my heart to Thee was drawn;
On silent paths we trod, love’s covenant, our bond.

I consecrated, then, by mighty love constrained;
This Thou would’st ne’er forget; ’twas in Thine heart engraved.
At dawn of youthful days, what lay ahead shined bright;
The altar should have blazed till day of radiant light.

Man’s hearts do idols snare, befuddle, captivate;
They steal them unaware, beguiling them astray.
But love of youth, I found, called ceaselessly, always;
How could I let heart’s ground uncultivated stay?

Though timid, slow my stride, Thou tender yet dost guide,
My vineyard dost provide, enrapture me with wine.
Here I respond to Thee, in Achor’s Vale, hope’s door;
Thy face unveiled I see, my long-lost Love’s restored.

I labored long and hard; as “Master” knowing Thee;
Now Thou my “Husband” art; in love I’m trothed to Thee.
Dry cisterns I forsake, life’s Fount again embrace;
Love’s feast with joy partake, immersed in depths of grace.

Dear Lord, I’m wholly Thine: our hearts are twined today;
I’d live, yet “No more I,” be one with Thee for aye.
One space for Thee and me, so loving, intimate,
I’d disappear in Thee, fore’er inseparate.

This is a banner song; that is, the lyrics to this song are quoted from the “Key Statements” in the outlines for the Crystallization-study of Job, Proverbs, and Ecclesiastes, published by Living Stream Ministry (used by permission).

Why do we pass through sufferings and trials? As Christians, we are not immune to such things; we may feel that we have more than our fair share of troubles. Sometimes as we endure life’s heartaches, we may wonder if our experiences are pointless—do they serve any higher purpose?

The Old Testament book of Job presents a classic case of an upright and God-fearing man suffering in a seemingly unjust way. For centuries, both believers and secular philosphers have considered this story.

After Job lost his children and all his possessions and was struck with painful boils from head to toe, he spoke to God about the reason behind his sufferings: “You have hidden these things in Your heart; / I know that this is with You.” Behind all that he was enduring, Job realized that there was a purpose hidden in God’s heart, a great question to which Job had no answer.

The answer was not revealed until the New Testament age. In the book of Ephesians, the apostle Paul sought “to enlighten all that they may see what the economy of the mystery is, which throughout the ages has been hidden in God, who created all things” (3:9). The economy of God—God’s eternal plan—is for Christ to spread into every part of our heart (v. 17) so that He can be glorified, expressed, through the church (v. 21).

In Philippians, Paul wrote about his own experience: “What things were gains to me, these I have counted as loss on account of Christ. But moreover I also count all things to be loss on account of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, on account of whom I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as refuse that I may gain Christ” (3:7-8).

Although Paul suffered as Job did, he turned to the Lord in the midst of his sufferings, opening his spirit to receive the Lord as grace and to be filled with Him. We, too, can have such an experience, no matter what we are going through—turn, open, receive, and be filled. Then, in the midst of hardships and sufferings, we will touch the inexpressible sweetness and value of Christ and magnify Him to those around us.
