One day, when Heaven was filled with His praises
One day, when sin was as black as could be.
Jesus came forth to be born of a virgin
Dwelt among men, my example is He
 

Living He loved me
Dying He saved me
Buried He carried my sins far away
Rising He justified freely forever
One day He's coming
What glorious day


One day they led Him on Calvary's Mountain
One day, they led Him to die on a tree
Suffering anguish, despised and rejected
Burying our sins, my redeemer is He.


Living He loved me
Dying He saved me
Buried He carried my sins far away
Rising He justified freely forever
One day He's coming
What glorious day.


One day the grave could conceal Him no longer
One day the stone rolled away from the door.
Then He arose over death He had conquered
Now is ascended my Lord ever more.


Living He loved me
Dying He saved me
Buried He carried my sins far away
Rising He justified freely forever
One day He's coming
What glorious day.


One day the trumpet will sound for His coming
One day, the skies, with His glory will shine
wonderful day my beloved one's bringing
Glorious Saviour this Jesus is mine.


Living He loved me
Dying He saved me
Buried He carried my sins far away
Rising He justified freely forever
One day He's coming
Oh glorious day
Oh glorious day
Oh glorious day
Oh glorious day
Oh glorious day

 Stand up, stand up for Jesus
ye soldiers of the cross;
lift high his royal banner,
it must not suffer loss.
From vict'ry unto vict'ry
his army he shall lead
till ev'ry foe is vanquished
and Christ is Lord indeed

 

 Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
stand in his strength alone;
the arm of flesh will fail you,
ye dare not trust your own.
Put on the gospel armor,
each piece put on with prayer;
where duty calls or danger,
be never wanting there.

 
 Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
the strife will not be long;
this day the noise of battle,
the next, the victor's song.
To him that overcometh
a crown of life shall be;
he with the King of glory
shall reign eternally.

Rescued from Frustration - Sermon on Romans 8:18–27 - Pastor Colin Smith.

A note from Ida.

Dear reader,

As you know, if you have visited my Blog during the years, I seldom write something personal here any more. The messages in the videos will speak for themselves. 

However something strange has happened lately so I want to make a personal reflection.

Since I started this Blog I have had very few visitors, mainly people I know. Although during the Covid pandemic the numbers increased for a short time. From the start I limited my Blog from showing up on platforms like Google etc. and if anyone found my Blog I thought it would be the will of God for that person at that special time. If somebody would find the salvation and comfort through our Lord Jesus Christ through this Blog, it would be the utmost joy and reward for me to keep it going.


Over the years the average number of visitors to the Blog has been around 100 to 300 visits per months. Sometimes far less.

And now to the strange thing that has happened.

Last month there was 246 visitors and this month, during July 3457 so far. Blogger statistics says that most of those views are from Singapore. The rest this month are from USA, Sweden, Netherlands, India, Uzbekistan and others (and I don’t understand why those countries are not named).

It would be fantastic that my blog suddenly got so many visits, if it weren't for an email 
from Blogger. They have reviewed the blog's content “and found material that doesn't 
comply with blogger's policy”. 
In all the years, since the start in 2010, my blog has never been checked or had any remarks.
Once in all these years I discovered that one visitor from Russia was using my blog address 
to advertise things I didn’t want anything to do with and I blocked that visitor. 

My computer skills are limited, so I'm afraid I can't check if anyone is guilty of the same 
"doings"  again.
However, I fear that someone is using my blog to forward material that I have nothing to 
do with and do not want to be associated with. Blogger has remarked on a post from years
ago and I have deleted it. The post was a sermon, and nothing looked different but 
somehow it had changed in the eyes of Blogger. 

An anonymous and inconspicuous blog can be a good place for unscrupulous individuals 
to send unacceptable material via the address of the blog.  
That's is my fear, but if somebody here can explain what has happened, 
I would be grateful for an explanation.

However if suddenly one person, or more, from Singapore has found comfort and help 
in my posts; it would be a blessing to me and I sincerely hope it is so. But I am in doubt 
unless somebody tells me the opposite. 

If there are more complaints from Blogger,  this blog will be deleted and taken from 
the Internet. I guess that would be a partial victory for the evil one because we know 
that his goal is to prevent the word of God being preached in “real life” as well as 
here on the Net. 

Finally, I end on a more positive note by wishing you 
God's rich blessing and protection wherever you are. 
That's what matters the most in this damaged world.

Sincerely yours
Ida

The Same All The Time - Billy & Sarah Gaines.

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpiZXkiOkUQ&list=RDEM7MJ1ZBx-4sAO0U5VrfKYGA&index=3

Click the link above to watch on YouTube.

There are times in our lives
When nothing seems stable
Everything around us wavers with change
But my God is alive
And He makes me able
When every single ounce
Of my strength has waned
Though disappointment takes its toll
My faith's foundation holds
To everything I've heard in His Word

'Cause I know that
Sometimes the things
That we think are for sure
Fade like the ending of day
Sometimes the things
That wе think are secure pass away
Lord, I know that
Somеtimes the things
That we seek and we find
Break both our hearts and our minds
But, Lord, You are the same
(You're the same)
The same all the time

There are promises sure
Our Father has made to us
That He swore to us would never be changed
If we simply endure
Obey and learn to trust
We will be repaid for all of our pain
Though sometimes sorrows pierce our souls
My Jesus will console
Every aching heart torn apart
'Cause I know that
Sometimes the things
That we think are for sure
Fade like the ending of day
Sometimes the things
That we think are secure pass away
Lord, I know that
Sometimes the things
That we seek and we find
Break both our hearts and our minds
But, Lord, You are the same
(You're the same)
The same all the time

("casue, Lord, I know)
'Cause I know that
Sometimes the things
That we think are for sure
(We think are for sure)
Fade like the ending of day
Sometimes the things
That we think are secure pass away
Lord, I know that
Sometimes the things
That we seek and we find
Break both our hearts and our minds
But, Lord, You are the same
(You're the same)
The same all the time
Lord, You are the same
The same all the time

Lord, You are the same all the time

Were It Not For Grace - Larnelle Harris

Click the link above to watch on YouTube

Time measured out my days
Life carried me along
In my soul I yearned to follow God
But knew Id never be so strong
I looked hard at this world
To learn how heaven could be gained
Just to end where I began
Where human effort is all in vain

Were it not for grace
I can tell you where I'd be
Wandering down some pointless road to nowhere
With my salvation up to me
I know how that would go
The battles I would face
Forever running but losing the race
Were it not for grace

So here is all my praise
Expressed with all my heart
Offered to the friend who took my place
And ran a course I could not start
And when He saw in full
Just how much His love would cost
He still went the final mile between me and heaven
So I would not be lost

Were it not for grace
I can tell you where I'd be
Wandering down some pointless road to nowhere
With my salvation up to me
I know how that would go
The battles I would face
Forever running but losing the race
Were it not for grace

Forever running but losing the race
Were it not for grace


Great is thy Faithfulness | Larnelle Harris

The Saviour Of Men Came To Seek And To Save - Moved By Compassion · All Souls Orchestra

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDxsV0TcB6o&list=OLAK5uy_lEEFeHkH8ej21v_WIsG-uYLaFjtyxL7ZY&index=111

Click the link above to watch on YouTube.

 The Saviour of men came to seek and to save
The souls who were lost to the good;
His Spirit was moved for the world which he loved
With the boundless compassion of God.
And still there are fields where the labourers are few,
And still there are souls without bread,
And still eyes that weep where the darkness is deep,
And still straying sheep to be led.

Chorus
Except I am moved with compassion,
How dwelleth thy Spirit in me?
In word and in deed
Burning love is my need;
I know I can find this in thee.

2.
O is not the Christ 'midst the crowd of today
Whose questioning cries do not cease?
And will he not show to the hearts that would know
The things that belong to their peace?
But how shall they hear if the preacher forbear
Or lack in compassionate zeal?
Or how shall hearts move with the Master's own love,
Without his anointing and seal?

3.
It is not with might to establish the right,
Nor yet with the wise to give rest;
The mind cannot show what the heart longs to know
Nor comfort a people distressed.
O Saviour of men, touch my spirit again,
And grant that thy servant may be
Intense every day, as I labor and pray,
Both instant and constant for thee.

From Salvation Army Songbook.

All Souls Orchestra - As Water to the Thirsty - Helen-Jane Howells.


 
As water to the thirsty,
as beauty to the eyes,
as strength that follows weakness,
as truth instead of lies,
as song-time and springtime
and summertime to be,
	so is my Lord,
	my living Lord,
so is my Lord to me.

Like calm in place of clamor,
like peace that follows pain,
like meeting after parting,
like sunshine after rain,
like moonlight and starlight
and sunlight on the sea,
	so is my Lord,
	my living Lord,
so is my Lord to me.

As sleep that follows fever,
as gold instead of gray,
as freedom after bondage,
as sunrise to the day,
as home to the traveller
and all we long to see,
	so is my Lord,
	my living Lord,
so is my Lord to me. 
Timothy Dudley-Smith

"A few of the many mighty promises of God" - Francis Frangipane.

 

The Sword of the Spirit

Francis Frangipane

https://francisfrangipanemessages.blogspot.com/

Click the link above to  come to the blog and website.

Christ not only came to set captives free, He came to train and empower the recently freed to be warriors. We may not always walk perfectly, but because God causes all things to work for good, we still can walk triumphantly. How can we, imperfect Christians, walk triumphantly? The Bible says we overcome "because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of [our] testimony, and [we do] not love [our lives] even when faced with death" (Rev. 12:11).

These three things - Christ's atoning blood, our testimony of God's eternal word and choosing to not love our own lives - secure us in the place of victory. We are a covenant people, a people purchased for God from every nation. Yes, we still sin, but God has placed the iniquity of us all upon His Son, Jesus Christ (Isa. 53). When the enemy comes to accuse and condemn us for our failures, we must remind ourselves that every sin we have ever committed has been nailed to Christ's cross. The entire "certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us," has been paid in full by the blood of Jesus Christ! (Col. 2:14).


As much as we need the blood of Christ, to functionalize our victory, we also need a living knowledge of God's word. Many Christians are awakened spiritually, but they do not know God's promises in the Bible. To be successful, we must know God's word, believe it and speak it with faith when we pray. We overcome by the "word of our testimony."

Third, in our world of excess and self-gratification, we must learn the wisdom and power of carrying the cross ("they did not love their life"). By becoming true disciples of Jesus Christ, the cross keeps us focused on our transformation. It also keeps us from the quicksand of self-pity, gratuitous over-indulgence and unforgiveness.

To aid your fight of faith, we've prepared a brief collection of Scriptures. Remember, God's word will not return to Him without accomplishing the purpose for which He sent it (Isa. 55:11). Let us, therefore, "hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful" (Heb. 10:23). Don't murmur when you pray, proclaim the word of God with authority. Indeed, the Holy Spirit tells us to take up "the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God" (Eph. 6:17). If we advance protected by the blood of the Lamb; if we war armed with the word of God; and if shoulder in our hearts the cross of Christ, we will truly be "more than conquerors through Him that loved us" (Rom. 8:37 KJV).

* * * * *

The following are just a few of the many mighty promises of God. We urge you to print these verses, memorize them and pass them on to your friends and fellow intercessors.

Spiritual Warfare Verses
"The Lord will go forth like a warrior, He will arouse His zeal like a man of war. He will utter a shout, yes, He will raise a war cry. He will prevail against His enemies" (Isa. 42:13).

"Upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it" (Matt.16:18).

"For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ" (2 Cor. 10:3-5).

"Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will injure you" (Luke 10:19).

"You will tread upon the lion and cobra, the young lion and the serpent you will trample down" (Ps. 91:13).

"But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and manifests through us the sweet aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place" (2 Cor. 2:14).

"Can the prey be taken from the mighty man, or the captives of a tyrant be rescued? Surely, thus says the Lord, 'Even the captives of the mighty man will be taken away, and the prey of the tyrant will be rescued; for I will contend with the one who contends with you, and I will save your sons'" (Isa. 49:24-25).

"Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven" (Matt. 18:18).

"And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God" (Eph 6:17).

"The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil" (1 John 3:8).

"I pursued my enemies and overtook them, and I did not turn back until they were consumed. I shattered them, so that they were not able to rise; they fell under my feet. For You have girded me with strength for battle; You have subdued under me those who rose up against me. You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, and I destroyed those who hated me" (Ps. 18:37-40).

"When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own homestead, his possessions are undisturbed; but when someone stronger than he attacks him and overpowers him, he takes away from him all his armor on which he had relied, and distributes his plunder" (Luke 11:21-22).

"Now judgment is upon this world; now the ruler of this world shall be cast out" (John 12:31).

"The ruler of this world has been judged" (John 16:11).

"He ... disarmed the rulers and authorities, He made a public display of them, having triumphed over them through Him" (Col. 2:15).

"'No weapon that is formed against you will prosper; and every tongue that accuses you in judgment you will condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their vindication is from Me,' declares the LORD" (Isa. 54:17).

"You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world" (1 John 4:4).

"Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you" (James 4:7).

"All authority has been given me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age" (Matt. 28:19-20).

Divine Shelter of God
"For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son" (Col. 1:13).

"The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold" (Ps. 18:2).

"He who was born of God keeps [us] and the evil one does not touch [us]" (1 John 5:18).

"He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty" (Ps. 91:1).

"And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God" (Rom. 8:28).

"For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind" (2 Tim. 1:7 NKJV).

"If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him" (John 14:23).

"My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to slip; He who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, He who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep" (Ps. 121:2-4).

"The LORD is your keeper; the LORD is your shade on your right hand. The sun will not smite you by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD will protect you from all evil; He will keep your soul. The LORD will guard your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forever" (Ps. 121:5-8).

"Our soul has escaped as a bird out of the snare of the trapper; the snare is broken and we have escaped" (Ps. 124:7).

Fear
"There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear" (1 John 4:18).

"Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me" (Ps. 23:4).

"Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them" (2 Kings 6:16).

"Since the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise also partook of the same, that through death He might render powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and might free those who through fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives" (Heb. 2:14-15).

Deliverance, Forgiveness and Salvation
"The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor. He has sent Me to proclaim release to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind, to set free those who are oppressed, to proclaim the favourable year of the Lord'" (Luke 4:17-19).

"He will again have compassion on us; He will tread our iniquities under foot. Yes, You will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea" (Mic. 7:19).

"Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them" (Heb. 7:25).

"Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us" (Rom. 8:34).

"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9).

"He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities" (Isa. 53:5).

"You are my hiding place; You preserve me from trouble; You surround me with songs of deliverance" (Ps. 32:7).

"For it is He who delivers you from the snare of the trapper and from the deadly pestilence" (Ps. 91:3).

Peace
"The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet" (Rom. 16:20).

"In no way alarmed by your opponents—which is a sign of destruction for them, but of salvation for you, and that too, from God" (Phil. 1:28).

"Sit at My right hand until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet" (Ps. 110:1).

"Be still, and know that I am God" (Ps. 46:10 KJV).

"Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time, casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you" (1 Peter 5:6-7).

"In peace I will both lie down and sleep, for You alone, O LORD, make me to dwell in safety" (Ps. 4:8).

"For thus the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel, has said, 'In repentance and rest you will be saved, in quietness and trust is your strength.' But you were not willing" (Isa. 30:15).

The Power of the New Covenant

"And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even when faced with death" (Rev. 12:11).

"He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our transgressions, having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross" (Col. 2:13-14).

"And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, 'Drink from it, all of you; for this is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for forgiveness of sins'" (Matt. 26:26-28).

"As for you also, because of the blood of My covenant with you, I have set your prisoners free from the waterless pit. Return to the stronghold, O prisoners who have the hope; this very day I am declaring that I will restore double to you" (Zech 9:11-12).

Healing

"Surely our griefs He Himself bore, and our sorrows He carried" (Isa. 53:4).

"But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, and by His scourging we are healed" (Isa. 53:5).

"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever" (Heb. 13:8).

"The news about Him spread throughout all Syria; and they brought to Him all who were ill, those suffering with various diseases and pains, demoniacs, epileptics, paralytics; and He healed them" (Matt. 4:24).

Family
"Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household" (Acts 16:31).

"For I will contend with the one who contends with you, and I will save your sons" (Isa. 49:25).

"'And it shall be in the last days,' God says, 'that I will pour forth of my spirit on all mankind ; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams'" (Acts 2:17).

Discernment
"The devil . . . was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies" (John 8:44).

"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly" (John 10:10).

"But he who is spiritual appraises all things" (1 Cor. 2:15).

"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty strength. Put on the whole armor of God so that you may be able to stand firm against the devil's strategies. For our struggle is not against a human opponent, but against rulers, against authorities, against cosmic powers in the darkness around us, against evil spiritual forces in the heavenly realm. For this reason, take up the whole armor of God so that you may be able to take a stand in that evil day. And when you have done everything you could, you will be able to stand firm. Stand firm, therefore, having fastened the belt of truth around your waist, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness. And having put shoes on your feet so that you are ready to proclaim the gospel of peace. In addition (above all), to all of these, having taken up the shield of faith, with which you will be able to put out all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Also take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Pray in the Spirit at all times with every kind of prayer and request there is. For the same reason be alert with every kind of effort and request for all the saints" (Eph. 6:10-18).

We hope these scriptures will be a blessing and empowerment to you.

 Dear reader,

I was thinking; while listening to Mr Kirkland's story, of a scripture from  Acts 4:13

where it says "When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus."

A long time ago, I had a job as a nurse in a home for rehabilitation of drug addicts. 
It was led by a Christian organization, and from time to time I met a 
counselor who also worked at that home.
He was a friendly, low-key and wise person who immediately 
gave a calm impression. I assumed he had lived his whole life 
as a Christian because he exuded an air of Jesus wherever he was. 
I was very surprised when he told me that for many years he had been an addict and 
that his home had been under a fir tree beside a bridge in a big city. 
I could not believe that his story was true and I could not imagine what his life had been like
when I saw him now.
His calm comment, and smile, to my surprised observation was:
 "so it will be for those who meet and follow Jesus." 
Sincerely yours 
Ida
