Fire of God

Fire of God
by Ryan Smith (worship leader Calvary Chapel Corvallis)

We who are called by Your name
Humble ourselves to seek Your face
Father we turn from wicked ways
Bring Your healing to this place

Fire of God burn
Let heaven spread to earth
Spirit of God move
The nations to exalt You

We who are called by Your name
Humble ourselves to seek Your face
Father we turn from wicked ways
Bring Your healing to this place

Let revival flow
Like a river through my soul
Let Your kingdom come
As we dream the dreams of God



We have started the fast, already God is bending our hearts to hear His as we humble ourselves to him, bowing down lower than we have in too much time. Saturday night prayer meeting was again powerful, God gave some visions of fire, some of water but both being symbols of the Holy Spirit we know that God wants to rock our dreams and transform them into His.

I still say, having Obama in power will be bad for our nation, but good for our church. Opposition to our faith makes us stronger, and snapped out of our blindness so that we may see the need to turn in our complacent hearts and pray for the president, that he would turn from His wicked ways as well.

The song I wrote down, it has been my lifeblood and the cry of our church body. Ryan Smith the worship leader at Calvary Chapel Corvallis just wrote it and it has been our anthem for the beginning of this fast. It is from 2 Chronicles 7, when the Lord appears to Solomon and hears his cry that the Temple he has just built will be God's resting place, where His power and Might will be (6:41). The Lord answers Solomon saying:

I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place for myself as a temple for sacrifices. When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague amongst my people, if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. Now my ears will be open and my eyes attentive to the prayers offered in this place.
2Chronicles 7:12-15

Power is spreading through our veins, God answers when we ask. Why have we not asked in so long? This outpouring is just the beginning. Our bodies are waking up, leaving the cocoons of our baby states and stepping into the threshold of the next step in maturity.

gather together

Each week we pick a night to worship together and read the Bible. The boys (and the daddy) play their guitars with me as we sing "Jesus Loves Me" (the ALL TIME favourite), and then they put down their instruments so that they can sing the remaining songs with me.

After a worship time we read out of the Bible, this year we are learning more about the fruits of the spirit. January is the Love month, we learn about how God loves, how we need to love and pray that God would help us love. Both B and I have felt God leading us to seek the fruits of the spirit much more seriously. The boys love learning about the fruits. These are sweet times we get to spend together.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against which there is no law.
Galatians 5:22-23

aqui estoy-jesús adrián romero

No quiero perder las cosas que me quedan por hacer
Las cosas que me quedan por vivir en Ti
No quiero olvidar las cosas que planeaste para mí
Los sueños que me diste lograré por Ti

No tienes que buscar a nadie más, Yo quiero ir
Aquí está mi tiempo, aquí están mis horas
Aquí estoy yo
Mi vida es para ti, en ti la quiero yo invertir
Aquí están mis manos, aquí está mi voz
Aquí estoy yo

Listo quiero estar
Los dones que me diste voy a usar
Los años que me has dado viviré, por Ti
Voy a conquistar
La tierra que me diste y sin dudar
Haré lo que me pidas, viviré por Ti

bustin' out.

I busted out my gui-tar again. yes, I took a little break. I am not sure why. I think I felt like I wasn't going anywhere. It could also be that I am finally in a new season spiritually as well, a closer place a place where I have a better understanding AGAIN. I know seasons are for reasons...but some are horrid. I am at a place of life again, and it is finally feeling like it is flowing in and out once again.

pastor rob is taking us to places that I had been so many times in scripture my eyes were foggy when we would turn there. the fog has lifted though, and the waters are reaching me. I feel like this is a post saying: I was blind, but now I see. Dry seasons are meant to be, but while I am in this wet season I am going to send out tons of roots so that during our next dry spell I will still be tapping the goods.

God is so good, and oh...incredibly faithful to be and do.

So yes, my guitar. I have started playing again and I am thankful to have not forgotten. I have recently decided to start learning tons of songs in Spanish, since we go to a spanish life group, and that is where the most need would be. I play to worship, and at some point I would love to lead others into worship as well....for now I am soaking in the love, my gui-tar love.
