Deborah Joy Winans - The Master's Calling

I Went Through So You

Wouldn’t Have To

I went Through so You Wouldn’t Have To

I was put on trial and judge unfairly

Because of this I know how to be your

Lawyer in the courtroom

I will defend you in such away

That if you was facing life

I could get you Free

I went Through so You Wouldn’t Have To

The pain you have suffered or maybe suffering now

Because of what someone has done or because of sickness

Is nothing compared to what was afflicted on Me

Pilate order that I be whipped but this was not just any whip

This whip was made of leather straps and with two balls

Attached to the end of each strap

Which were made of sharp bones

Now image that whip hitting your skin so

Deep that when they pulled the whip back

You could see My bones

I took this beaten so when the doctors

Say there is nothing else we can do

You can say by His stripes I am are healed

On top of all that they took

A crown of thorns and placed it on my head

Piercing my head in such away that

Blood begin to drip from my brow

The shedding of my blood

Is the Deliverance

That will set the captive free

The evidence that I went through so you did not have to

Is My nailed scared hands

My nailed scared feet

And the piercing in my side

I went through all this and so much more

That you may have Everlasting Life

It is

Finished the Battle is Over

And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me—everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you. Philippians 4:8‭-‬9 NLT http://bible.com/116/php.4.8-9.NLT

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, O  Lord , my rock and my redeemer. Psalms 19:14 NLT http://bible.com/116/psa.19.14.NLT

Worship Changes Everything (YouVersion)

My Words & Thoughts David’s prayer in Psalm 19:14 is so perfect and such a lesson for us: My words and thoughts in every walk of life can express worship for God. Words of hope, love, optimism, encouragement, and truth are such an important aspect of my obedient worship to the God who is all worthy, that they literally have the power to transform my life and the lives of others. We shouldn’t be surprised. Worship changes everything. Are you worshiping God with your words? Are you experiencing His transforming power? No one teaches on the power of words better than my dear friend Joyce Meyer. Listen to what she has to say: ‘I am sure you have heard someone say, “You are going to eat those words.” It may sound like a mere phrase to us, but in reality we do eat our words. What we say not only affects others, but it also affects us. Words are wonderful when used in a correct way. They can encourage, edify and give confidence to the hearer. A right word spoken at the right time can actually be life-changing…’ We can literally increase our own joy by speaking right words. We can also upset ourselves by talking unnecessarily about our problems, our insecurities or things that have hurt us in relationships. The words that come out of our mouth go into our own ears as well as other people’s, and then they drop down into our soul, where they bring us life or death, peace or upset, depending on the types of words we have spoken. God desires that our spirit be light and free so it can function properly, not heavy and oppressed. When we understand the power of words and realize that we can choose what we think and speak, our lives can be transformed... We can learn to choose our thoughts, to resist wrong ones and think on good, healthy, and right ones. I have often said, “Where the mind goes, the man follows.” And it could also be said that where the mind goes, the mouth follows! Think about that last sentence carefully. Do you really believe that the words you say can change your life? I do. Because words of blessing and truth are one of the ways we worship our God and honor the others in our world. My words tell others—and myself—what I believe about God. They tell others what I believe about my-self and my life. They reveal my attitude. I want my words to show true worship—exalting the Mighty One—whether I am in front of a thousand leading worship or talking softly to my kids at bedtime or on the phone with a customer service rep who is not understanding my request. I want my words to be aligned with God’s truth. Take some time today to ask the Holy Spirit to reveal the ways you speak and think that are detrimental to yourself and others.. today is a new day.. a new beginning. Philippians 4:8-9 (ESV) Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me - practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.
