The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me
Because the Lord has anointed me
Isaiah 61:1
The Holy Spirit is the Anointing. He is likened to wine and oil in the bible. To get wine and oil there has to be a pressing! The Holy Spirit could only come after Jesus had been CRUSHED...PRESSED AND SQUEEZED... After Jesus made this grueling choice for you and me, the Holy Spirit spilled out of heaven on that faithful day of Pentecost.
So now I ask! If God would willingly squeeze his own righteous son. .just to have you...and to fill you with this precious Holy Spirit...how VALUABLE you must be...take it up a notch...how powerful you must be? Because his power came with him (Acts 1:8)
So what DEVIL can be victorious over you? What situation can change God's mind about you...This living God was SO focused on getting you...He did all this -caused his dear son to go through a crushing, just to have you. So what exactly dares to make him look different now! What dares to make him look powerless, uncaring, unloving and unable to change a matter now?
The Spirit of the Lord is upon us and we have been anointed. BACKED UP by a loving God...we step out! With that backing and confidence...we ask boldly knowing that He will answer. We seek and keep on seeking..We knock and keep on knocking .We will receive, find and the door will be opened to us...because He loves us that much...
Then, we share this same love and good news to other people because the family isn't complete... This is the gospel. This is the good news.
What an honor that we get to live knowing we are this loved and covered. What a double honor that we get to share this gospel with our loved ones, those around us and Bundu...
Glory to God!
The Spirit of The Lord God is upon me
Because the Lord has anointed me
Glory to God!!
Squeeze Squeeze
Press Press
Open Open
Spill Spill
Blood, tears, sweat
You poured to have me
Just to have me
You weren't mandated
You chose
You could have left
You stayed
The Angels waited
For a voice of your command
The King was on a cross
Such an abomination
You were silent and uttered no word
Still...
You stayed
Took it all
And before your last breath
Said "forgive them"
How you love me so
I may never know
I am overwhelmed
That this love is real
Now I know with the same whisper
The one that came after your pressing
The Holy Spirit is here
With his power...you are pushing
Changing...turning...and being true
To your word and every promise to me
I am loved
The apple of your eye
The anointed one, you poured your Spirit on
The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me
Because the Lord has anointed me
Now I must.
I can't keep it a secret
This sweet, sweet deep love
Proved through your crushing.
I must share...till all may know
Till all may see the one that loves them dear
