Now to Him, who is able

Now To Him, Who Is Able

Among all the trees in the garden of Eden, only two are mentioned by name: (1) the tree of life and (2) the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Genesis 2:9). These two trees represent two principles by which a Christian can live: (1) the principle of life and (2) the principle of good and evil.

Eating the tree of the knowledge of good and evil results in death (Genesis 2:17), and the devil is the source of death (Hebrews 2:14). Christ is the source of life (John 11:25, 14:6); He came that we may have life (John 10:10; Colossians 3:4); and He even presented Himself as a vine (John 15:5)—a low-growing, accessible, fruit-bearing tree!

Today, every Christian is like a miniature “garden of Eden.” According to Romans 8:6, our mind is between two choices—just like Adam and Eve in the garden. If we choose to set our mind on the flesh, the result is death. If we choose to set our mind on our human spirit, where Christ dwells (Romans 8:10, 16), the result is life and peace!

Contacting Christ as life in our human spirit is the way to eat Him as the tree of life (John 6:57; Revelation 2:7). At the end of the Bible, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil is gone, but the tree of life is an eternal enjoyment to the believers in the New Jerusalem (Revelation 22:14).

This song was written for a youth conference in April 2023. Thanks to the “little lilies” in our local youth group for recording with us!

Christ Is the Tree of Life

Love His Appearing

Fill my cup, Lord

The Arrows Flew Into My Heart

The love of Christ is now constraining me!!

What made you, Lord, to die for me?!

Christ is the hope of glory! (He comes!)

When I behold the wonders of Your hand,
Your majesty and grandeur breaking through,
I'm humbled by the power of Your work, Lord,
And bow with reverence to You.

When I behold the details of the earth,
The strokes of care that brush through every hue,
Reminded that I am so very small, Lord,
Why do I hold back Lord from You?

Why did You make this vast amazing place?
Why do You send us harvests full and sweet?
Why do You render so much love and care, Lord?
Oh Lord, why do you care for me?

Why did You come to live a life on earth?
Why did You die for me on Calvary?
Why did You seek me out when I was lost, Lord?
Why do You love Lord even me?

For many years I held back Lord from You,
Reserving cherished places in my being.
But now my heart is softened by Your love, Lord,
Come in, oh Lord make home in me.

I’m opening more than one little part.
I’m opening my whole heart up to You.
Do all that’s in Your heart concerning me, Lord,
I’m not afraid, Lord I have You.

Lord gain the worshipers that you desire,
The ones who worship in reality.
Oh work Yourself into my being until, Lord,
True worship Lord is gained for Thee.

When I Behold The Wonders Of Your Hand

How Lovely are Thy Dwelling Places

Book: God's Need and God's Goal
Chapter: Failures Enabling Man to Enjoy more of God

Blessed are those of fail
Blessed are those who fall
This is God's sovereign way
That He would become our all
Through failure we can know God
Experience and enjoy him

Thank You Lord that You
Allow me to fail
I was dead but now I live
Praise You for not always letting me prevail
Though my heart be broken, 
My spirit be broken,
Make these failures precious and sweet to me

As the younger son
I was lost but found again
As the Father, You
Waited for me to return
Together we’re rejoicing
Your riches and love now reach me

Blessed are Those Who Fail

Nothing But Love

My Heart Longs For Absolute Surrender

1. I long for fellowship in spirit,
That mingled with the saints I’ll be,
Long to be saved from independence
And to be built with saints in Thee.
2. I long for fellowship in spirit,
That opened shall my spirit be,
Long to be rescued from seclusion,
And with the saints to worship Thee.
3. I long for fellowship in spirit,
Long that my spirit forth may come,
Long to be saved from self-deception,
And every hindrance overcome.
4. I long for fellowship in spirit,
With saints in spirit thus to pray,
Long for deliv’rance from pretention,
Long for true fellowship today.
5. I long for fellowship in spirit,
Long thus to know authority;
Long for true fellowship in service,
Coordinated thus to be.
6. O Lord, fulfill our hearts deep longing,
Saints for such fellowship inspire,
That we may realize Thy building
And soon fulfill Thy heart’s desire.

I Long For Fellowship In Spirit

God Is Spreading In My Being!

The Lord Jesus clearly states in Revelation 16:15 that He is "coming like a thief". We have no idea what day or month or year the Lord is coming back; all we know is that He is coming to "steal away" those He sees as precious, like Daniel. Therefore, it's our responsibility as believers to redeem every waking-moment of our lives and offer Him the full cooperation.

Steal Me Away

When I Grow Up

When I grow up, I want to be a man of God.
I want to be someone who is full of life.
I want to be someone who loves the Lord,
And so I choose to be a man of God.
There is nothing else in the world I’d rather be,
There is nothing else in the world that I’d rather be.

When I grow up, I want to be a man of God.
I want to be someone who is full of life.
I want to be someone who loves the Lord,
And so I choose to be a man of God.

And even though I’m still a kid,
The choice is clear to me.
A man of God is what I am—
A man of God, that’s exactly what I want to be.

I Want to be Filled with the Triune God

I want to be filled
with the Triune God.
He makes me happy;
I want to be filled with Him.
(Repeat)

So I will drink, drink, drink, drink, drink
that living water,
And I will eat, eat, eat, eat, eat
the tree of life,
And I will call upon His name,
O Lord Jesus!
’cause I want to be filled
up, up, up
Oh, I want to be filled
up, up, up
Yes, I want to be filled
up, up, up with Him.
