Redeemed

I've been thinking:
cindy

I have been a child,a teen, a criminal, and pacifist, a hippie,
cindy and paul
a biker,
cindy
a model,
cindy
a dope addict, and a drunk.
cindy
cindy
I've been healthy and I've been sick.cindy- bike rally
cindy, dwayne and kent

But, now I am:
A lover of all, cindy and dwayne
Walking in purpose, cindy & eddie
redeemed by His love. Forgiven, lead, strong, true and who I am suppose to finally be.

Set free of the me that was confused, lost and on shaky ground.
Redeemed, that is who I am today.

“Talk About It”/ “Let the Redeemed of the Lord Say So”


By Nichole C. Mullen

Tell rich and poor in slavery
The King has ordered a decree
Ransom all captivity
Ring the bells of liberty
He sacrificed His everything
To buy us new identities
So every knee could bow
And every tongue confess
That Jesus our Lord is marvellous

So let the redeemed of the Lord, say so
Talk about it, say so, talk talk about it
Let the redeemed of the Lord, say so
Talk about it, say so, talk talk about it

Bangladesh to Bangor Maine
If you're talkin' about His name
Give him glory unashamed
(His love is so excitin')
Say it loud and quietly
Nod your head or diagree
But every knee shall bow
Every tongue confess
That Jesus our Lord is marvellous

So let the redeemed of the Lord, say so
Talk about it, say so, talk talk about it
Let the redeemed of the Lord, say so
Talk about it, say so, talk talk about it

If you're not ashamed
If you're not ashamed
If you're not ashamed
Lemme hear you say
I am not ashamed (I am not ashamed)
I am not ashamed (I am not ashamed)
I am not ashamed (I am not ashamed)
I am not ashamed (let's go)
I am not ashamed
Every knee shall bow
And every tongue confess
That Jesus our Lord is marvellous
So let the redeemed of the Lord, say so
Talk about it, say so, talk talk about it
Let the redeemed of the Lord, say so
Talk about it, say so, talk talk about it
So let the redeemed of the Lord, say so
Talk about it, say so, talk talk about it
Let the redeemed of the Lord, say so


*Luke 4:18-19 -“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor, he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised.

*Titus 2:14 - “Who gave Himself for us, that He might REDEEM us from all iniquity, and purify unto Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works”.

anonymous,
we certainly have been foolish in our time, but, praise God for that redeeming power. Love and mercy guides our path and we will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Isaiah 6:8 “I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.”

(Pray)

? What is You Mission ?

Here is Mine:

I am sent on a mission. I am to bring perfection to a imperfect world, by the truth, the Word of God. To use my God given voice to speak and not hold back, no matter what the cost. To allow God, through me, to set others free to be all that He created them to be. To suffer here and reign hereafter. To bear the cross here and the crown hereafter. To continually seek my Fathers face, to sing praises to His Holy Name! To know the true fear of the Lord. To fall more & more in love with Him. To hear Him say “well done”. To fulfill my destiny, “for such a time as this”. For I do not want to hear Him say, “WELL”?
I am committing to RUN towards the goal and to PRESS on towards the mark of the higher and upwards calling in Jesus Christ, My Lord and Saviour. To lay hold of the purpose for which Christ Jesus has taken hold of me. I will run this race, and I will fight this good fight of faith and not give in nor give up!!!
The Lord has named me Rhonda. He has sent me to fulfill the meaning of my name here in the earth. The meaning of my name is: Grand, Beloved, Strength of Character, Rose,
Good-Spear. He has sent me to pierce the darkness, not only in this world, but in the Spiritual Realm, and in the Heavenlies.

*Luke 4:18-19: “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor, he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised. To preach the acceptable year of the Lord”.

What did He name you? What are you to do for Him? What is your mission?

*Isaiah 6:5-8: “Then said I, Woe is me! For I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the king, the Lord of host”
Have you seen Jesus?

“Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the alter. And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin is purged. Also, I heard the voice of the Lord , saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us. Then said I, send me”.

Will you answer the Call? Will you go?


*Ezekiel 4:17-21: “Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth; and give them warning for me. When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked ways, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but his blood will I require at thine hand. Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity, but thou hast delivered thy soul. Again, when a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he has done shalt not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned, also thou hast delivered thy soul.”

*vs. 20: “he shall die…his righteousness which he has done shalt not be remembered”
*vs. 21: “he shall surely live”

*See Revelations 3:5: “He that OVERCOMETH, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before His angels”.

The righteousness you have done, is it going to be remembered?
Are you overcoming?
Is your name not to be blotted out of the Book of Life?
Are you going to live and not die?
Are you clothed in white raiment?
Is your name confessed before the Father?

God is perfecting us as a dangerous weapon against the enemy. He is working through us for His Kingdom, our true home. For eternal, true purpose for all of eternity. (For this life is but only a test). For our eternal purpose is for all of eternity.
Jesus is moving through us, by His anointing of the Holy Ghost, by the Word of the Father. Our tribune Authority. The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Through our tribune submission of body, mind, and spirit. To do ALL that He has created for us to do, in such a time as this. Surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, with the Spirit of the Lord upon us, and within us, to do the even greater works.
He has marked us and ordained us and sent us into time for destiny and purpose, on a mission. As He sets at the right hand of God in the place of Authority, so sit we with Him. He has set us as watchmen. He has given us new eyes to see, new ears to hear, and a new voice to speak. By His Power and Might. By the Holy Ghost. He has given us the keys to the Kingdom. He has given us ALL Power and Authority to lock and unlock ALL doors. Here in the Earth, the Spiritual Realm,and in the heavens! Thy Kingdom come!!!
We are to bring the Truth, the whole Truth, and nothing but the Truth to a dying, hell bound generation. We are to sound the alarm. To lay down ourselves and EVERY WEIGHT that so easily besets us and to pick up our cross and to follow His will for us!!!
We are to get still before our Father. We are to listen and to speak forth what the Spirit is saying. We are to warn the people, set the captives free. “Let My People GO”. We are to go through and crossover to the otherside, by the Blood of the Lamb and the Word of our testimony! We are to take others with us into Eternal Life, we are not to go alone.

OVERCOME

We are called, then prepared, then commissioned to GO!!! We are not to sit up in the church and just keep getting fat on the Word of God and becoming the Dead Sea. So full, yet not letting it flow out of us. We must GO!!!
Jesus came to set us free, so that we may in turn set others free. We are His voice in this heathen, world. We are His Remnant Warriors. We are His Prophets to this dying nation and generation. We are the miracles that He wants to work His miracles through.

REMEMBER: God has sent us on a mission. We have some great news for others. God has sent us to restore and to release something. That something is others! We are here to give others back life, by setting them free by the Truth, the Word of God. We should be furious with the enemy and fight against Him for the Salvation of others! Be on a mission to bring Gods perfection to a imperfect world.

I am reminded of my team name at work. STORM CHASERS. That is who we are. We need to step into the battle. Chase and face the storms!!! Win this race. Finish our course. Overcome! We do not want to stand before the Father and see the man or woman that we “could” have been. We only get one race. Choose to be that man or woman that God ordained you to be now. Stir up that gift in which He put on the inside of you. Finish what He told you to do. Take the steps necessary to make it ALL happen. God will complete the good work in which He started in you, but you must quit waiting on Him, for He is waiting on you to take a step of faith.

How are you going to run your race?
Is it only to finish,
Or
Is it to win the battle of the Lord?

(Pray)
