Whew! You can see from the last post what my main problem has been. Although that was the busiest day so far, I seem to move in busy -ness rather than in the Spirit. (I'm sure my husband is nodding right now!) On Thursday night, as I stumbled into my room, coughing and feverish, I cried out to the Lord to change me. I don't want to live this way. I want margins in my life so I can give out life to others.
As I rested these past two days, I received much wisdom and I hope, change for my future here and in Minnesota. Here are the scriptures the Lord has been speaking to me from:
John 14:10, 12, Jn 16:13-15 - He wants to speak through me and do his works through me
Romans 8:10 - He has made my spirit alive - so I need to live with the Holy Spirit leading my spirit
2 Cor. 2:14 - He manifests the sweet aroma of Christ through my life
2 Cor. 5:14, 17-19, 20-21 - He wants his love to control me and he has made me new, completely new! He enables me to bring reconciliation with Him to others. That's what it means to be an ambassador for Christ.
1 John 2:27 - His anointing for all of this is in me!
Thanks Mary for this post. Have been away form Josiah during the week, as you said it will just be recorded worship music. Hoping to join you again for live music worship in the mornings when you return. Many broken family relationships that I have been trying to mediate and mentor, but falling back in exhaustion. Need to pull back to more time in personal prayer and worship music. Saw the new movie "I Can Only Imagine" last night, and it hit me hard. Recommend it to you. Working on my guitar and my bass, listening, singing, hearing and improvising. God Bless your morning worship playing and singing, the language of The Kingdom On Earth as it is in Heaven. God Bless your ministry in Bangkok, Jack
