a song from Justin Rizzo

I want to run the race
I want to keep the faith
Help me to run to win the price
Of the knowledge of You

I want to live before Your eyes
I want to stay before Your gaze
Just keep me steady here
I want to live before Your eyes
I want to stay before Your gaze
Just keep me steady here

I want to be found faithful
I wan to be found steady
I want to be found faithful until the end

I don't want to be ashamed
the day I see Your face
Keep my footsteps firm
Hold me in Your grace

song yesterday

Here I am waiting
with a heart of faith
with a heart of hope
with a heart believing
that You are faithful

Give me a heart of faith
give me a heart if hope
give me a heart believing
You'll be faithful

This is my confidence; He who began a good work will be faithful to complete it

Im here in the waiting room...

worship set yesterday

don't leave the place of believing
whatever you do
where ever you go
just hang on to this one thing

don't leave this place
for bitterness will have you if you let it go
Just believe
just keep on believing
You are like the man of old
you are like the man of faith
I have you on a journey that no man knows
You will walk by faith and not by sight
is it enough for you to know
'that I am watching
is it enough for you?
to know that I am smiling
Is it enough for your that you never see the break through
its just like Abraham
to walk in a better way
but this is the gift I give to you
its the gift of faith
is it enough for you
Am I enough for you?
Just don't leave the desert
just don't leave the wilderness
just don't leave this weakness
just don't leave this hunger pain, this thirsty ache
just don't leave the wilderness
is it enough for you to know that I called you as a man of faith
is it enough for you that I have this way for you
don't look to the right don't look to the left
is it enough for you to go the way of Abraham
is it enough for you to go across the desert
is it enough that I have chosen you to live before My eyes
don't compare yourself to the other men
don't look to the left, don't look to the right, that is not your portion
is it enough for you
Every little tear I hold in my bottle
all your struggle and all your fighting
you are living from the inside out and this is why I have chosen you
and wisdom will be justified
looks like foolishness to men
but it is the wisdom of God
Listen My beloved in whom I am well pleased, well done My faithful one
I would stop the whole world
to tell you that I love you
That you are not alone
Just to tell you that you please Me
that I am proud on you
it is not vain, it is not in vain
you didn't loose your way, you didn't choose the wrong way
you followed me
you 've chosen rightly
there's no regrets
Listen My beloved in whom I am well pleased, well done, My faithful one
I would stop the whole wide world and this entire room
no regrets
you've chose My way
I love you
am I enough for you?
cause you are more then enough for Me

worship at IHOP

The way of God is the wilderness
It has always been in the wilderness
the way of God is weakness
It is voluntary weakness

It's My ways, not your ways
What are you gonna do
What are you gonna choose
cause there is no way around it

The way of God is the wilderness
It has always been in the wilderness
the way of God is weakness
It is voluntary weakness

Men they say put on your strength
Men they say rise to the top
Men say make your way forward
But God says, listen the hungry and the thirsty they shall be filled
Gods says you gotta go lower and lower
God says I will meet you in the desert
There is no way around it
You gotta go through it

The way of God is the wilderness
It has always been in the wilderness
the way of God is weakness
It is voluntary weakness

Seems a little barren
It feels a little empty
Like a hunger pain it just wont go away
sometimes lonely and bitter sweet
this is the desert
the place where we meet
There 's no one here
its just you and me and Me and you
God You know I love you
But surely there´s got to be another way than this
but somehow as I look to history
and all Your friends
they found their way
Cause no one who waits on the Lord will ever be put to shame
but I hate waiting Lord
but its Your way and not my way
everything in me hates this place of waiting
but God it´s Your way, not my way
Oh so mysterious is the way of God
You meet me in weakness

The way of God is the wilderness
It has always been in the wilderness
the way of God is weakness
It is voluntary weakness

So I wait
and so I wait
but somehow inside me
there are all these new things I can do for You
there is so much I can build and plant
but why do you want to have me in the wilderness
But God I learn to pray, I learn to lean, I learn to trust You

The way of God is the wilderness
It has always been in the wilderness
the way of God is weakness
It is voluntary weakness

There is no other way
there is no other way
There is no way around
Blessed are the hungry
blessed are the thirsty
Blessed are those who mourn
there is no way around it
there is no other way
This is the way of God

The way of God is the wilderness
It has always been in the wilderness
the way of God is weakness
It is voluntary weakness

Its a little frustrating, just waiting
God your ways are wonderful
but God Your ways are miserable
It seems like it never ends
its sounds so romantic, it sounds so noble
But I don´t know where I got myself into
But God I trust You
Because it´s Your way
It seems like days turn into weeks
and weeks into months and months into years
and I´m still here, it seems like it never end

The way of God is the wilderness
It has always been in the wilderness
the way of God is weakness
It is voluntary weakness

Who will go to the desert?
who will go? who will go?
There's no other way
there is no way around it
All of my friends are in the desert
There is no way around it
It's God's way, it's the only way

Abba Father, my Defender, You are holy and I surrender. In my weakness You protect me and when my heart strays, You correct me


Eileen...wow...truly God's ways are so perfect! He is so good to us! You have a special place in my heart. Words are not enough but Im so thankfull to God that He has put you on my way, thank You Jesus :-)

I will go my way, I will go my way, to the mountain. This one thing I'll do, this one thing I'll do; I press on

Worship using Song of Solomon 4:6

I will leave it all behind,
This one thing I will do
I press on to the call of knowing You
to knowing You
Cause when You said come seek my face,
my heart said, Your face I will seek
Cause I just want to know You
I just have to know You
God I want to know You
So I press on
So I will go my way
I will go my way
to the mountain
I set my heart on a pilgrimage
I set my face like flint
I won't turn back
I won't turn around

When it's all been said
When it's all been done
when the race is run
It all comes down to love

Did you learn to love?
Love is learned, you were not born with it!

God, baptise our hearts with Your love!

John 13:35By this shall all men know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.

The love in this world will grow cold...more and more, did you learn to love? Are you a disciple of God?

1 Corinthians 13

Love

1If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

8Love never fails.

worship...

He is everything you need for life
everything you need for Godliness
He is so much more
Just believe that He is
That He is

Ask and keep asking, and you will receive
Knock and keep knocking and the door will be opened
Seek and keep seeking and you will find

Believe that I am, that I am, that I am...
And I reward the ones who seek Me

I will meet you in the secret place

I've given you power
Love and a sound mind
Do not be afraid

I've overcome the world
I will never, never, never forsake you
My peace I give to you

kan shockerende informatie zijn....maar voor degenen die nieuwsgierig zijn...

Sjonge jonge jonge, wat ik gister nou weer heb meegemaakt....niet te geloven..of uhmmm wel te geloven ;-) maar ik viel zowat van mn puntje van mn stoel.
We hadden eerst een samenkomst en daarna een soort van praisedienst. Daarna kreeg Mike (voorganger) een berichtje dat een van de kids heel erg ziek was...stervende (hepatitus B of C???) anyway. Hij besloot toen meteen voorbede te gaan doen met de hele zaal en over haar te zingen en te bidden (hoe ze dat hier doen). Er waren een stuk of 100 kids. It was warfare, oorlogsvoering. Leaping lizards. Anyway, er waren een stuk of 100 kids en hier doen ze vaak een "rapid fire prayer" dat betekent een gebed voor de microfoon bidden van ongeveer 10 seconden. Nou, de kinderen namen het over LOL. The kids...they are more than cute, they are dangerous. For real. Ik kreeg teveel water in mn ogen ;-). Wat ik in een boekje over kids ooit heb gelezen over opwekking en kinderen of zo, daar zat ik nu midden in. WAUW. Ze baden niet of God alstublieft wou genezen, no way...het ging meer van; in de naam van Jezus ik proclameer leven en genezing over haar, sickness you have to go and leave her body in the name of Jesus, she is healed by the stripes of Jezus, sickness you must go etc etc etc. Wij als Fire In The Night voelden ons zowat geintimideerd door de kids. Leaping lizards, ik was geshockeerd (in a good way) Ik stond met mn oren te klapperen. Anyway, zo hebben we een poos met zn allen voorbede gedaan, daarna liep ik wat heen en weer te bidden. Kom ik een knul van een jaar of 7 of 8... die is vet aan het strijden en bidden, andere kids die letterlijk huilen, op hun knieen voorbede doen. Kinderen vanaf 6 jaar. Leaping lizards. Het was super cool. Die kids....aiaiai. Ik wist niet dat het mogelijk was, of snapte het gewoon niet (en ik snap nog steeds veel niet) maar God opent mn ogen meer en meer. Samuel was maar 8 toen God tot hem sprak. God is niet veranderd en doet dat nog steeds. Ik was super bemoedigd en vond het zo cool om al die kids te zien en zo mee te maken en hun hart naar God toe, dat het niet iets is voor tieners of jongeren en volwassenen, als je ouder bent maar God werkt zo al door ukkies heen. Dat ze in tongen bidden, profeteren en noem maar op...aiaiai, zo super cool :-)
Anyway, dat wou ik even vertellen ;-) Ik was er gister eerst even helemaal vanaf, speechless.

wauw...en vandaag in de kerk kwamen de getuigenissen van de kinderen. Als ik niet oppas luister ik met mn mond wagenwijd open en vraag ik me af; God hoe kunnen we dit ooit aan kinderen leren en hoe werkt het allemaal. Kinderen (vanaf een jaar of 5/ 6 ) die profeteren, kinderen die in tongen bidden, kinderen die voor genezing bidden en mensen genezen, kinderen die voor bevrijding bidden en mensen worden bevrijd aiaiai. Ze vertelden over wat God had gedaan in hun en hoe God ze aanraakten en over dromen en visioenen, hoe God hun hart aanraakt en ze het uitroepen naar God en huilen. aiaiaiai.

God is awesome!

I was made for love; to love You and be loved by You
