To me
He’s become everything
He’s everything I need
The Beginning and the End
He’s life’s dearest Friend
To me
He’s become everything
By Carroll McGruder
To Me
Jesus
The Almighty One
The First and The Last
Written Word
Spoken Word
Jesus
To Me
Is He a ‘snack’ to taste?
Or your sustaining Bread of Life?
A drop of water?
Or Living Waters to quench your soul?
Oil that sits in a pretty vase?
Or Anointing Oil that runs down over the ‘beard’?
A cool breeze?
Or the Wind beneath your wings?
A Vacation Spot?
Or your Dwelling Place?
To Me
My Cleft of The Rock
My Shelter in the time of Storm
The Lover of my soul
To me He’s become MY Everything!
You read it over and again
When you talk with me
You will hear me say
WHO He is…
WHAT you see…
WHEN is He nearby…
WHERE we take Him…
HOW He is perceived…
Is all based on our Relationship.
To Me
I recently shared with
My home prayer group
I feel compelled by the Lord
To inspire maturity within the Body.
Namely through prayer.
You see
We can be nothing
Accomplish nothing
For Jesus
In His Kingdom
With His Purpose
Without PRAYER.
The more you mature in prayer
The more that every other ministry
Will Grow
And Flourish
To His Glory and Honor.
How can we be in His Will
If we don’t Know Him?
It doesn’t seem feasible
To do Kingdom Work
If we don’t Know The King.
What makes me think He is Lord
If lordship is a word I say
And not a way of my life?
Therefore let us get past
The elementary stage
In the teachings about the Christ,
Advancing on to maturity
And perfection
And spiritual completeness,
(doing this)
Without laying again
A foundation of repentance
From dead works and of faith
Toward God
Hebrews 6:1 AMP
But speaking the truth in love
(in all things–both our speech and our lives expressing His truth)
Let us grow up
In all things into Him
(following His example)
Who is the Head—Christ.
Ephesians 4:15 AMP
We are all meant to Grow Up!
Not stay on the milk
But be able to eat the Meat!
Please see Hebrews 5:12-15; I Corinthians 3:1-2.
To Me
We are to grow and mature.
In the Word
Our Walk with the Lord
Through our Kingdom Purpose.
Often these are accomplished
Through and with
A greater and deeper
Relationship with Jesus.
Prayer is the Key!
For Relationship.
Reading His Word prayerfully.
Walking every day prayerfully.
Fulfilling our Kingdom Purpose prayerfully.
To do these things
And do them well
We need to Know Jesus
Knowing Jesus
Is Time well spent
In His Presence.
In the prayer closet…
Through praise and worship…
Praying without ceasing throughout each day…
To Me
Let’s face it.
If Jesus had to pray
During His earthly ministry
How much more do we?
The man Christ Jesus
Prayed to overcome temptation.
He prayed before choosing his disciples.
When the crowds became much
Jesus prayed for wisdom and understanding.
No doubt
He gained Strength and Virtue
After healing the sick
And raising the dead
Through Fellowship in prayer with the Father.
How much more should we pray?
Before making decisions?
Choosing those we work with?
After we have ministered to others?
To Me
Prayer that is short on discipline…
Lacking in fervor…
Is the same today as last year…
Needs a shot of maturity
We need a little “meat” on the Table
The more we pray
The More we Know Him!
The Deeper our Relationship!
The More you can minister to someone in need.
According to
His Will and Way
And certainly, with His Anointing!
The More we pray!
The More He becomes our Everything!
The More He is OUR Everything…
He can become someone else’s
Everything!!!
