Deeper…

“I have kicked up the dust and the dirt on the narrow road
I have had to let go of some hurt to hold on to hope
I’ve watched the sunset before the promise came
I have waded through waters wide and walked through the flame
And I can sayEvery valley made me lift my eyes up
Every burden only made me stronger
Every sorrow only made Your joy go
Deeper and deeper, deeper, and deeperI will run like I’m out to win, and finish the race
For every battle that’s sure to come I will be brave
I’ve got my heart set on every word You say
And no matter what lies ahead You’ll make a way
And I will say

Every valley made me lift my eyes up
Every burden only made me stronger
Every sorrow only made Your joy go
Deeper and deeper, deeper, and deeper

Every mountain is making me a climber
Every giant is calling out a fighter
Every heartache only makes Your love go
Deeper and deeper, deeper, and deeper

Thrown down but not defeated
I’m worn out but not giving up
I’ve hit ground but even at rock bottom
I’m just getting started, yea, I’m just getting started”

When I first heard this song it resonated within me. I think it may very well become my life song. As you read the lyrics, I pray that you will be blessed, strengthened and encouraged to know that through Jesus Christ, we can not only sing these words, but live them. No matter what you’ve been through, no matter how long the road may seem – there is HOPE and VICTORY!

The song is “Deeper” by Meredith Andrews

Now This is Awesome!

by dadams8105

Richard (my husband) an I were talking last night about a church service we’d been to a few hours earlier. The worship was so good. And so I made a FB post about it. A lot of us do that. We go to our church and then post something like, “Awesome Word today by (insert your pastor’s name) at (insert your church name). My comment was not so much about the people doing the worship as much as the experience I had with the Lord. I really entered into the presence of the Lord during that service and it was about Him.

In the 1990’s there was a major move of God in Pensacola, FL known as the Brownsville Revival. Over a period of 5 years hundreds of thousands of people flooded Brownsville Assembly of God night after night. We were blessed to be a part of it for a year when we lived in Pensacola. The worship was amazing, the preaching was anointed and the altars were flooded each night with sinners coming to Jesus. People were healed. Addictions were broken. It was true revival.

In 1997 SPIN Magazine, a secular magazine, came to report on the revival. The headline of they wrote following their visit was, “AWESOME GOD”

This is what happens when God shows up. The attention is not on man. This is quite a contrast to so many today who focus on the pastor or the worship team and post about them. I know people mean well, and I’m not condemning anyone. But we need to get our eyes on Jesus and off man. Man is just the vessel God uses anyway.

It’s pretty cool!

Thanks to Richard for pointing this out.
