Yesterday as I ran, The Holy Ghost reminded me of a song by Pat Barret called Build My Life.
That was the anthem for the train of thought I had boarded.
Jesse Duplantis had also once said, that when Your life is built from Jesus, and you know it, no one can take anything-
In case something happens, you know where to get it again!
Then mix in the Word that says that we can draw from the wells of Salvation,
And brothers and sisters,
What do we have to fear!?
If your source is unlimited, then you’ll never be without!
But you have to be real about your source.
Jesus said where your treasure is, that’s where you’ll find your heart-
Or your real self.
My eyes had to be opened to this truth the hard way.
When things start to feel like they are slipping from you or you’re losing something or someone,
We can be tempted to swap sources.
We struggle to let go and let God-
Remain the Master Builder.
Today is Father’s Day.
I know many struggle today with what seems the loss of a Father.
Whether by death or abandonment, I want to share this piece of material with you.
Take it, and build with it:
When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up. Psalm 27:10
Look at what take up means:
This has been a staple for me.
Rather, like a stud in my spiritual wall that I am able to hang the heavy’s of life upon.
God, My Father took me up.
I now belong to the King of Glory.
He is my Shepard and I don’t have to want.
For anything.
Let these song lyrics bless your heart and soul this morning as they did mine.
This is what Holy Spirit started singing to me through the night:
Divine ExchangeSong by Charity Gayle
Ooh-ooh
On the cross hung my pain
And the guilt and the shame
Jesus bore my suffering
To the grave to make me freeOh, the blood that was shed
It now flows to cover sin
It washes, clean, and purifies
In its healing crimson tideJesus, He took my place in divine exchange
Hallelujah! Grace is mine
Now I will live by faith for the One who saves
He gave all to give me lifeHis spirit is my present help
I’d be lost all by myself
He resurrects, He sanctifies
He takes His power and makes it mineJesus, He took my place in divine exchange
Hallelujah! Grace is mine
Now I will live by faith for the One who saves
He gave all to give me lifeI lay down all lesser things for greater gain
He is alive inside of me
I lay down all lesser things for greater gain
He is alive inside of me
I lay down all lesser things for greater gain
He is alive inside of me
I lay down all lesser things for greater gain
He is alive, oh!Jesus, He took my place in divine exchange
Hallelujah! Grace is mine
Now I will live by faith for the One who saves
He gave all to give me life (ooh!)Jesus, He took my place in divine exchange
Hallelujah! Grace is mine
Now I will live by faith for the One who saves
He gave all to give me life
I lay down all lesser things, for Greater Gain…
Let Go of your plans to build and let God build your life for you.
From that standpoint, no one owes you a thing.
You have HIM, you have All!
