I’m Listening

Rev. Cecil Thorn

This is a song from Chris McCarney listen to the words of this song.

?️Lyrics

When you speak, confusion fades

Just a word and suddenly I’m not afraid

Cause you speak and freedom reigns

There is hope in every single word You say

I don’t wanna miss one word You speak

Cause everything You say is life to me

I don’t wanna miss one word You speak

Quiet my heart,

I’m listening When sorrows roll and troubles rage

You whisper peace when I don’t have the words to say

I won’t lose hope when storms won’t break

You keep your word and your promises will keep me safe

Your ways are higher

You know just what I need

I trust you, Jesus

You see what I cannot see

Colossians 3:1–4 (KJV)

1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

The Holy Bible: King James Version, Electronic Edition of the 1900 Authorized Version. (Bellingham, WA: Logos Research Systems, Inc., 2009), Col 3.

Our desire

Colossians 3:2a(KJV)—Set your affection on things above. This deals with the mindset of the believer, including the will, affections, and conscience. Paul knew many whose hearts were set toward things that could never satisfy. They sought to please the lusts of the flesh. Their focus was upon the here and now, with little or no thought for eternity. Much of this left them empty and vain. Worldly desires led to a life void of peace and contentment. Paul also knew the believer did not have to live in such poverty. There was much to be gained in Christ. He is to be the desire and passion of the believer. The world offers nothing of lasting value, with much that it does resulting in heartache and pain. With Jesus, and those things which are above and eternal, as our desire, we can enjoy the fullness of God and His abundance rather than settling for the meager supply offered by the world!

Final thought

 A reminder that God is for us, God is with us, and God is bigger than anything we face, apart from God I have no good thing.

Troubled times we live in

With all these things going on in the United States nowadays, it’s become a very trying time for us who believe and for others who don’t believe in Jesus Christ.

Knowing what to do and how to handle it is hard, but I’m here to say today that we are not alone, But Christ is there beside us right now, looking after and taking care of us.

I  want to share a few scriptures with you hope this will encourage you and enlighten your heart a little bit. But don’t forget that we still have work to do.

We have been commissioned by God almighty to spread his gospel to this world.

John 14:27(KJV): Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

2 Corinthians 13:11(KJV): Finally, brothers and sisters, rejoice! Strive for full restoration, encourage one another, be of one mind, and live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you.

Mark 16:15(KJV): And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.”
