What A Friend We Have In Jesus (hymn) with lyrics (by Spiritflows)
beautiful and inSpired old hymn!
Reveal Your love in new dimensions. Show us the fullness of Your glory and the beauty of Your face.
Give us the spirit of wisdom and revelation to truly know You.
Reveal to us the wonders of Your heart. Let us sink, bathe and feast in Your glory and love. Let us drink from the fountain within, that we will be satisfied with abundance.
joh7:38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
ps36:8 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.
ps23:5 NASB You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You have anointed my head with oil; My cup overflows.
jer31:14 NASB “I will fill the soul of the priests with abundance, And My people will be satisfied with My goodness,” declares the LORD.
joh10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
rom5:17 For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.
eph3:17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
eph1:17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him
2 cor 4:6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
2 cor 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
joh1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. [..] 16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
God will show and teach you things. Good things, that benefit you! But the things that God will teach you satan will try to rob out of your heart first and then use it against you as a law. Getting it out of your heart, pervert and accuse you with it and get you to do it from your mind in a legalistic and demanding way. Turning it into something condemning and demanding.
Before he can do that he has to get you out of the love of God.
jude1:20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, 21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
He wants you to get offended against the things God teaches you, so that he can establish in your heart that God is criticizing you and against you.
isa54:9 For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee. 10 For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee
rom8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
Then he uses it as a form of criticism of God towards you, disguising himself as the angel of light:
2 cor 11:14 NASB No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.
rev12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
It sounds like God is speaking to you, because it’s the same thing God taught you and because you want to be humble towards God you feel like you cannot go against it, but it feels pressured and lawful.
2 cor 3:17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
He uses it as a law against you.
rom7:6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.
This will take you away from the love of God and damage your trust in God and bring you back into a slavish and cold relationship. That is exactly what he wants, to bring you in unbelief in God’s goodness and back under law.
If it’s not motivated out of love and a sense of freedom, then you know it is not God.
God will never force you to do the things He tells you. The answer therefore is:
rom8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus.
Know that God will never use the things He teaches you against you to criticize, bully, be negative, disappointed or distant from you.
joh8:11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
eph6:14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
He is always well pleased with you (mat3:17; 1 joh 4:17), because of who you are in Christ.
In addition to my previous post:
Father, I pray that I and whoever this word is for, that we learn to distinguish between what is Your voice and that of the accuser and a guilty conscience (heb10:22). Let us be wise as serpents (mat10:16). Help us to grow in a consciousness of Your love and forgiveness and establish us in the free gift of righteousness and no condemnation. Teach us to stand firm, having our loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness (eph6:14). Help us to receive Your word with meekness and accept Your instruction without being offended or falling into the trap of being accused and condemned and turning it into law. We repent (change our thinking) Lord, from where we have allowed your instruction to become a law in our lives and we return back to living from the freedom of Your grace. Whatever you have taught us, establish Your truth again in our hearts, and renew our minds: bringing every perversion of truth into captivity to the obedience of Christ (2 cor 10:5). We thank You that every good work You have begun in us, You also will perform it (perfect it and bring it to full completion) until the day of Jesus Christ (phil1:6). We commit our works unto You Lord and we trust that You will do it (ps37:5). Thank You for establishing our thoughts and plans in Your grace and truth. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
