“All my life you have been faithful, all my life you have been so, so, good; and with every breath that I am able, oh I will sing of the goodness of God.”
Lord, your goodness has been overflowing to me, and I know that you do not treat me as I deserve, but to know that your goodness and mercy have been following me all my life, how could I ever be afraid or ashamed to tell others what you have done for me. Lord, with every breath that I am able, I will sing of the goodness of God. Thank you, Lord!
Like so many people who are struggling to understand the workings of God, Nicodemus could not make sense of what Jesus was saying regarding being born again, so he asked Jesus, “How can these things be?”
Jesus answered Nicodemus, “Are you a teacher of Israel, and yet you do not understand these things? Very truly, I tell you, we speak of what we know and testify what we have seen, yet you do not receive our testimony. If I have told you about earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe me if I tell you heavenly things? My brothers and sisters in Christ, do not be ashamed or afraid to share your testimonies, for you know in whom you believe, so you could testify to what you have seen – the goodness of God.
Nicodemus could not understand what Jesus was saying, so he asked Jesus, “Can one enter a second time in the mother’s womb and be born again?”
Jesus answered him, “Very truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit. What is born of the flesh is flesh and what is born of the Spirit is spirit. The wind blows where it chooses, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.” Born, born, born again, thank God, I am born again! I am a Spirit-filled Christian without a doubt, I know in whom I believe, and His Spirit leads me. Amen!
Nicodemus came to Jesus by night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, but how can anyone be born after having grown old?”
” A ruler once came to Jesus by night, to ask Him the way of salvation and light, He answered the ruler in words true and plain, ye must be born again. Ye must be born again, ye must be born again, I verily, verily, say unto you, ye must be born again.”
Spirit of the Living God, fall afresh on them. Spirit of the Living God, fall afresh on them. renew them, embolden them, dwell in them, and use them. Spirit of the Living God, fall afresh on them. Amen!
Lord, there are so many who still do not know how amazing you are, they are yet to boldly acknowledge you, confess you as Lord, and receive the Holy Spirit. So dear Lord, you alone can bring order amongst chaos, unity in the midst of division, make cold hearts warm, and renew right spirits with us; so I ask for your Holy Spirit to fall afresh on them today, so that you could use them in your service. Spirit of the Living God, fall afresh on them!
“Spirit of the Living God, fall afresh on me, Spirit of the Living God, fall afresh on me. Break me, melt me, mold me, fill me. Spirit of the Living God, fall afresh on me.”
Heavenly Father, every day, we need your Spirit to fall afresh on us, to break us, melt us, mold us, and fill us. We are yours Lord to do as you please, move your Spirit within us, to love what Thou dost love, and to do what Thou wouldst do. Amen!
“Spirit of God, who dwells within my heart, wean it from sin, through all its pulses move. Stoop to my weakness, mighty as you are, and make me love you as I ought to love.”
“Did you not bid us love you, God and King, love you with all our heart and strength and mind? I see the cross there teach my heart to cling. O let me seek you and O let me find! Teach me to love you as your angels love, one holy passion filling all my frame: the fullness of the heaven-descended Dove; my heart an altar, and your love the flame.”
“There’s a sweet, sweet Spirit in the place, and I know that it the Spirit of the Lord.” Descend on us Lord, we pray.
“Sweet Holy Spirit, sweet Heavenly Dove, stay right here with us, filling us with your love, and for these blessings, we lift our hearts in prayer, without a doubt we’ll know that we have been revived, when we shall leave this place.”
Jesus said to his disciples, “When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of Truth, he will testify on my behalf, You are also to testify because you have been with me from the beginning.”
“When the Spirit of Truth comes, he will guide you into all truth, for he will no speak on his own but will speak whatever he hears, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify me, because he will take what is mine and declare it to you.” Praise the Lord!
Heavenly Father, today we pause to acknowledge and to be thankful for the gift of your holy Spirit. Father, breathe on us anew, fill us with your Holy Spirit so that we may love what thou dost love and to do what thou wouldst do. Amen!
“Breathe on me, breath of God, fill me with life anew, that I may love what Thou dost love, and do what Thou wouldst do. Breathe on me, breath of God, blend all my soul with Thine, until this earthly part of me, glows with Thy fire divine.”
