Whats in a song - Who is there like you V2

56:050123

What’s in a song:

Who is there Like You

   When as a Child I was told this to help bolster up, and help with my self worth. By having Faith in the Lord will help your self worth, giving greater motivation to over come what ever life throws at you. This is all, but truthfully this question is answered only by one. Because we all look different from each other. You’ll be told at some point you look just like or sound like you Mum or dad, as was told many times. For this study I have decided to post each verse separately.

   Only God truly owns the title ‘Who is there like you’, for example of the one true God who created the Heavens and the Earth, you should read 1 Kings 18. Today I want delve deeper into the song ‘Who is there like you’

1) Who is there like you?

And who else would give their life for me,

Even suffering in my place?

And who could repay you?

All of creation looks to you,

and you provide for all you have made.

2) So I’m lifting up my hands,

Lifting up my voice, lifting up your name,

and in your grace I’m blessed,

For your love has to come to me and set me free

I’m trusting in your Word.

3) Trusting in your cross, trusting in your blood,

All your faithfulness,

For your power at work in me, is

changing me Changing me

    V2] So I’m lifting up my hands
Psalms 134:2 “Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, And bless the Lord”Psalms 135:1-3 “Praise the name of the Lord; Praise Him, O you servants of the Lord! 2 You who stand in the house of the Lord, In the courts of the house of our God, 3 Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good; Sing praises to His name, for it is pleasant”   

   When praising our Lord on high, we’re encouraged to raise our hands up to Heaven just we see many others do, aside from the fact that we are told to do so in the Bible, as here .. “Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, And bless the Lord” .. I would recommend though you raise them on high ‘OPEN’. As have you ever tried to someone anything, when they have a clenched fist. Most must have seen a bird nature film, when a parent returns to the nest and all the chicks would stand to receive with their mouths OPEN wide, other wise they will receive nothing. So to help receive from our Heavenly Father, just as did when as a child we stood with our arms open-wide to receive, so we need to the same with our Heavenly father God.

‘Lifting up my voice, lifting up your name’
Psalms 5:3 “My voice You shall hear in the morning, O Lord; In the morning I will direct it to You, And I will look up”
   God does not care if you sing off key, all that matters is that you do .. “My voice You shall hear” .. not to just hum some nondescript tune, which I have been guilty of myself, from time to time. Don’t let it just be in .. “the Morning” .. In our car the radio station called ‘Premier Praise’. They play, 24/7, old & new Christian songs/ Hymns & worship songs from a variation of artists. So on the whole you are bound to know a song that you can sing along too, before you know it your lifting your voice in praise. “I will direct it to you” ‘lifting up you name’. . 

* Please I recommend, don’t lift up your eyes or hands whilst driving * ...As I have just said you can find time during the day to worship Him .. Buss~ Train ~ Walking .. no matter there is always time, even in the shower. Just the other day whilst waiting in the car for Betty to do the shopping, I had the radio on singing my head off to some worship songs on the radio.

‘ And in your grace I’m blessed’ .. Being blessed could mean, having green lights all the on your journey, whilst singing praises to Him, or just doing someone a nice turn. Gods riches are limitless.

‘For your love has to come to me and set me free’
Galatians 5:1 “Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage”
God love for us is without measure, that is the price He has put on our soul. John 3:16 tells us . .
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son”
… that is how much He loves us. If this don’t convince you, you need Him more than you know or realise. He came to set us free from our bondage. See what Jesus tells us about He came to free us . . .
John 8:36 “Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed”
… so .. you shall be free indeed” .. if you thought different let these words encourage you, for god is faithful all the time. I hear you say that ‘I’m not in bondage, I have to say you are. Do you smoke? ~ Do you drink? ~ Do you Gamble? Do you like looking at Porn? Are always low/angry/feeling lost? These are forms of bondage.. “the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed”
* The New King James Bible put the ‘made free’ statement in, which comes from the old Hebrew word: ‘eleutheroo’.which breaks down phenetically as the following .. ‘el – you – ther – ah – oh’. Strongs Concordance #1159 I.E. to liberate, acquit, set-free, deliver.

‘ I’m trusting in your word’
   We really must believe in His ‘Living-Word’. Why Do I call it so? It is because our Saviour lives, as does God. His Word has been a road map on how to live, since the day it was written. So it’s relevance for life will last forevermore. . .
Psalms 17:7 “You who save those who trust in You”
2 Samuel 7:28 “O Lord God, You are God, and Your words are true, and You have promised this goodness to Your servant”
… so what is there to disbelieve? Samuel has told us this as well as the Psalmist.

#V2 follows in a couple of days, so please listen to the song a few times. here is the link to the song, just past the link into your browser ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYkce-EhNuQ 

Prayer

I fear no one as I'm yours Lord. I was once lost cut a drift in a storm of no end, until I found you. You give hope to the hopeless, through your Word. Let my voice carry the love in my heart for you. I know I'm free from all bondage, for whom the Son sets free is free indeed. Thank you Heavenly Father, Amen

preasure heaped on to just survive, there is

always going to be those in a worst off state than

you, lets be kind.

What does it Mean ~ How

 55:190722 

What does it Mean

    2 .. How .. ‘to be ready’

The easiest way is to be simply by ‘giving you heart to the Lord our God, fully. Yet is it as easy as that ? …

• There is NO down payment or sacrifice ..

• There is NO blowing yourself up, for false promises ..

• There is NO mutilating your body in any way ..

It’s as simple as 1 2 3

Let me ask then .. “Why should you choose Jesus Christ??

• What happens when you pass away?

• Where do you go?

• When passing away do I go to Heaven or Hell?

There is no factor that is a part, in whether you know, and have a relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 John 5:13 “These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life”

   I can’t stress enough, that ‘how-important it is to join us saved in glory, in Heaven. Especially it is so simple ~ Painless ~ Cost Free, so what is there not to become excited about. My life was dull ~ Lifeless ~ Worthless ~ even empty. I know I did things wrong, bad things, even ugly, to use a Biblical term .. “I am a Sinner”
Romans 3:23 “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God"

   Sin actually comes down from ‘Adam & Eve’, please don’t underestimate how God feels about sin, a smell word, but this is how .. Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death” .. so to put is in another way, to help the penny drop. When you arrive in Hell, it will make you wish you had accepted Christ as your Lord and Saviour. But, you’ll be too late, this is now for eternity, forever and ever and ever.

   I do have some good news, what He did do is, to send His only Son .. John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” .. to help you out there is some more good news, in that when you read the rest of the verse from .. Romans 6:23 “but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” .. to show what God gives in return look no further than .. Romans 5:18 “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us”

   I’m telling you ‘How’ I accepted, believing in something you can’t .. See .. touch .. Smell, you just need to believe in Christ Jesus. He does not ASK, but He really wants to be your personal Saviour, God sent His very own Son down to us in the flesh. God did this so we can associate to Him as a human, but is was also to bridge the gap between us (The Gentiles) and gods own chosen people (The Jewish) peoples. Christ truly paid for our sins. Listen, if you were blessed, Father, to have a Son, and only Child, how proud it would make you feel? Then it is shown that to save all the lost, those known to you and those unknown to you, you must sacrifice him.

Could you? .. Would you?

Romans 10:13 “For whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
OK, I have been banging on about being saved when I feel you’ve been shouting at the screen as in Acts 16:30 “What must I do top be saved?” .. Firstly- let me urge you, for you will never regret, in placing your full trust in Christ Jesus, as your Saviour .. In the Collins Dictionary ‘to be saved ‘ is put like this:- Save(d) [1]rescue, preserved, [2]delivered from sin .. Where as Biblically it’s put this way .. to Save is to:-Heal, Cure, Preserve, to keep Safe & Sound, Rescue from Danger Destruction, Deliver. Sozo saved from physical death by healing, and from spiritual death by, the forgiving of sins and it’s effects. Translated, simply as ‘To Give New Life’ and ‘to cause to have a new heart’.

Ephesians 2:7/8 “that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God”
This has the echo of .. “for god saved the World” John 3:16 .. It’s the end of V8 when it’s said .. “it is the gift of God” .. This truly shows the heart, and shows, Gods love for us. How we come to God is through His Son, Christ Jesus.

How do I know that the end times have come?

How much do I need to change?

   Lets address the first question, in that, if saved, you’ll be taken up in the twinkling of of an eye. To demonstrate how quick that is, right now before going any further, I want you to blink. Go on, no one is watching you, well did you blink. Look come on I’ll even look away, OK well done. Just think how quick that was. Your brain sends a message to the eye to blink, when it has done this the eye sends a message of confirmation back to the brain. A Twinkling happens in less than half the time, it just happens. So one second your here, the next we’re soaring up into the Heavens, leaving what ever you were doing behind. From – Sleeping to Walking, from Driving your Car to flying an Aeroplane, from working in an Office to Driving a Truck. Before you’ll know it you’ll be in Heaven in the presence of our Father God. After all who wants not to be in Heaven, as a opposed to being in Hell.
Revelation 21:24 “And the nations of those who are saved shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honour into it"

   I do wonder at this juncture, how many of you have asked Jesus to be your very own personal Saviour? You do know that you can do this right here right now. No special ceremony or place. I do recommend that if you do, seek out a Church that will come along side you, and support you during this time of transition. Asking Christ into your life, but more importantly into your heart. I can promise from the start of everything changes for the better. There are so many Churches with varying styles in worship, such Anglican ~ Elim ~ Church of England [C of E] ~ Methodist Pentecostal to Presbyterian, and many more besides. I would be here all day trying to list them. Word of warning .. ‘be careful in your choice, as some claim parts of the Bible irrelevant. What I would recommend is search out an ‘Alpha Course’, as this will give you a good grounding, as well as meeting other Christians, and introduces you to reading the bible and how to apply it to your life. For a new Bible look for a NKJV, New King James Version, as it a universal version that many Churches use, to start with again there are many versions but this is a good starting place.

   Now having walked you through ‘HOW’ [to always be ready], I hope and pray you either closer to, or want to give your life to Christ Jesus, then I would encourage you to pray the redemption prayer ...

Lord Jesus I believe you are the one true Living God,that you died for me, and  that you I know  I’m asinner, and ask you now to be my personal Saviour,I’m placing my full trust in you alone, and accept your gift of eternal life. Thank you for keepingyour promise. Amen

If you have indeed taken the decision to ask our Lord Jesus Christ into your life I would love to hear from you. 

Praise God.

Prayer

Thank you Lord Jesus for saving us by taking away the sins of this world, no matter what they may have been. Using me as a conduit for your Holy Spirit to minister to and save the lost. Let the words of your break down the hardest of hearts. In your holy Name we pray. Amen.
