Revelation of the Spirit- #48 Burning, Burning

Burning, Burning is a Salvation Army Song Book song. When most of us young people in the army think of a hymn tune from the song book, we think boring. But the truth I been discovering lately is there is such power in the words of the old hymn tunes. My favorite being Burning, Burning. The holy spirit truly anointed these words.

Burning, burning, brightly burning,

Brightly burning fire divine,

Satisfy my spirit's yearning,

Fill this empty soul of mine.

My spirit is yearning to be filled with you're burning holy spirit. Yearning to be burning.

Burning, burning, always burning,

Holy Spirit, stay with me;

To your will my will is turning,

What you will I want to be.

Burning, burning! The Holy Spirit is burning today. Burning in my heart. Burning in this lost and broken world. He is the light burning for us. In the dark and broken world HE IS BURNING! Holy Spirit stay with me. Let His will be what is done. 

Burn in the hearts of every believer today. You're holy spirit burning across the nations. You're holy spirit is here and here to stay and you will never leave nor forsake us. 

Continue to burn for Him.

Revelation of the Spirit- #47 It is NEVER too late

Wherever you've gone My grace has followed you.

Whatever you've done My blood has covered.

Those are some of the most powerful promises the Lord has ever made. I read that in one of my devotion books the other day.  I can't even begin to tell you how I felt when I read them. My was penetrated with the love of My Savior. An everlasting love that will never leave me. A savior who will never forsake me. His Grace has followed me. It has followed me through the sin, the shame, the hate, the pain and my return. His Grace brought me back to the heart I belong to. His Grace carried me through. Even when I thought I was shoving Him away, He stayed. And after I returned with my sin and shame weighing my heart down like an anchor, He offered His blood to get rid of it. He set me free. He washed me clean. 

He set me free.

Wherever you've gone My Grace has followed you.

Whatever  you've done My blood has covered you.

Revelation of the Spirit-# 46 Grace Alone

Grace alone, which God supplies,

Strength unknown, He will provide

Christ in us, our cornerstone;

We will go forth in grace alone.

I absolutely love this song. It is so wonderful. I love  Mrs. Davis singing it on the new Pendel Brass CD. 

This is a good reminder that we don't do anything on our own. But it's also a good reminder that the Lord is always there. It was such a great comfort to me and just felt the Lord touch my heart with these words.

God supplies grace. He never runs out and it's there for us whenever we feel like taking it. Lord knows there are so many days when I feel like I don't need it and then fail with out it. But He supplies it everyday and that's so important to me. Then the strength....Oh Lord the strength I have asked for day after day after day. There are countless days when I have not even the strength to get out of bed. But strength unknown, strength I didn't even know I had access to comes to my heart. He provides it. 

Everything we do, say, pray about, and dream about is through His grace. We are only alive today because of His grace. We don't feel the full wrath of sin because through His grace He sent His only son to die on the cross. Grace. 

Lord, thank you for you're amazing grace. The grace you supply, the strength you provide and the grace we go forth in everyday. Praise you Lord! You're amazing grace.

In His grace,

Kathryn

Revelation of the Spirit- #45 Run to Win

I was honored, along with almost a hundred or more staff members to teach children in our division about "Running to Win". How perfect was this theme as it applied to my own life? Run to Win was the theme for PENDEL Musicamp 2008. The theme verse happens to be one of my favorite.

Let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles and, let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us....

Hebrews 12:1

I couldn't help but absolutely love every minute of the week. I was surround by all the best people. It was the absolute greatest feeling to be surrounded by others who are helping you along the way in this race.

Most of all it was so great to minister to the children. I taught devotions everyday and it was probably the highlight of my day. I absolutely loved it. I remember so well being that age at camp and now looking back I want to help them so much.  I want them to get started right. To be prepared to stand against all evil. They truly are the future of our army and I feel as though we need to build them strong and surround them in a loving, protected atmosphere even just for one week. 

I hope you would join me in praying for these children all year long.  They need others looking out for their spiritual best interest 24/7/365. They are not only the future of our army, they are the future of our world. When I am getting ready to retire, this is the generation that will be running the government and making important decisions. Christ needs NEEDS! to be implanted in their hearts, souls and minds.

Thanks for reading. Glad to be back here.

Blessings, 

Kathryn
