Power: Word Ambassadors: Prayers and Poetry

           

            Power

            Power spoken.

            God’s deeds

            proclaimed

            not world manipulated

            provision of heart

            redeeming love

            prophesied

            now a reality

            purpose revealed.

            Power His love.

Deeds: Word Ambassadors: Prayers and Poetry

Reading: Acts 2:11

“Cretans and Arabs—in our own languages we hear them speaking about God’s deeds of power.”

How often do we hastily speak words we think should be said to another, or think others want or need to hear, and then they are weak and dissolve into air? Because they are our words and not the Lord’s.

His words alone have the power to change lives.  Now and into eternity.

“In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.” 1 John 4: 11

God’s power is love. His love is powerful.

Too often I don’t speak love as I should. Instead too many negative demands and accusations and complaints pour out. These words seed conflict and anxiety and dismay. Tainted word seeds. Self-centered, instead of God centered.

“…nor any created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:39

His deeds of power.

Lord, please fill our inner hearts with You so that only Your words can flow out.

Psalm of Worship: Genesis 1:11

“Then God said, “Let the earth put forth vegetation: plants yielding seed, and fruit trees of every kind on earth that bear fruit with the seed inside it.” And it was so.”
