A Soaking Day – to come aside in the Presence of the Lord
This song is about facing fear in the victory of Jesus. The antidote to fear is love. When we agree with God we are transformed in our thinking and we end up praising God!
We are being changed from the inside by His Holy Spirit.

When Storms Rage
When storms rage, When night falls
When need comes, When grief calls
I’ll follow just You, I’ll listen, I’ll believe
I’ll receive all things You have in store
Fill me to overflowing
Gracious God to me bestowing
Love that flows from You, outpouring
Spirit of the Living God on High
Let the praises be shouted out
You are worthy, You are worthy
Fill me to overflowing
Gracious God to me bestowing
Love that flows from You, outpouring
Spirit of the Living God on High
All the promises of our God are Yes and Amen in Christ
All the promises of our God are Yes, are Yes and Amen in Christ
When storms rage (I trust You)
When night falls (I trust You)
When need comes (I trust)
When grief calls (trust You)
When storms rage (Blow Holy Spirit through me)
When night falls (Burn Your Light in me)
When need comes (Let Your Word be enough)
When grief calls (Comfort us)

We stand in Truth and walk forward in the love of Christ.
By Sharon Jane….
Talking to an ex satanist friend many years ago helped me see that darkness is all about control and power. That’s what attracts many to it as well. So that gives us perspective when facing spiritual darkness. We do not come under it’s control so we don’t act like we do and we don’t fear that we do either.
We know that Jesus has already defeated all other power. So it has no control over us, it’s all bluff. It’s good to call the bluff by ignoring it. You don’t have to be unaware of something to ignore it. That way we walk in bold confidence in the love of God and not fear. I learned during those days that some of the most powerful words of spiritual warfare were, “I LOVE YOU JESUS!”
During these days of confusion across the globe where powers intent on bringing all under their control seem unrelenting, we do not fear. We do not remain ignorant either. But we stand in Truth and walk forward in the love of Christ. Holy Spirit directs every step. We decided to follow Jesus and now the cross is before us and the world is behind us, no turning back. WE LOVE YOU, JESUS!
There is No Fear in Love
There is no fear in love
There is no fear in love
Free from all worry
Love truly free
Perfect Love casts away all fear
God is Love, Oh
Live in God, Oh
Live in Love, Oh
Live in Love
In this way love is made complete in us
So we’ll have confidence
On the Day of Judgment
‘cause in this world we are like Him
We are like Him
Live in God’s love in us
Live in God’s love in us
Jesus lives in us
We live in Him
Jesus Christ, Living Spirit of God
God is Love, Oh
Live in God, Oh
Live in Love, Oh
Live in Love

Our Worship Song for the Week:
Notice how God’s Love Overcomes Fear
By Michael W Smith
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I’m found
Was blind, but now I see
‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
My chains are gone, I’ve been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy reigns
Unending love
Amazing grace
The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures
My chains are gone, I’ve been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy reigns
Unending love
Amazing grace
My chains are gone, I’ve been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy reigns
Unending love
Amazing grace
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow
The sun forbear to shine
But God, who called me here below
Will be forever mine, will be forever mine
You are forever mine

Pastor Jeff’s Special Today: “Drug abuse, Drunkenness..”
Remember: The Risen Christ already sees us as His Bride. He will sanctify and cleanse us by the washing of water by the word (Ephesians 5:26, the sword of the Spirit ). As each lying stronghold is demolished, replace forever the old lie with the word of God. Be washed in HIS Truth. In that repentance and cleansing process, the Lord is presenting us to Himself, “a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.” (Ephesians 5:27). He is the soon-coming Bridegroom (Matthew 24:36-51; Matthew 25:1-13; Revelation 19:7-9).
And thus today’s issue is “drug abuse, drunkenness.” You and I are to turn from them and repent if this is an issue. Our Lord Jesus told each of us to watch, knowing that the kingdom of God is near: “But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come upon you unexpectedly.” Ephesians 5:15-20 follows this: ” See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
Being candid with yourself and the Holy Spirit, is any form of drug abuse, drunkenness an old issue needing to be confessed? And then repented of ? Does your residence have to be cleansed of objects that reflect drug abuse, or drunkeness in any way? Do you think His Word is only for the disciples 2,000 years ago? Do you have any residue of a residue of drug abuse or drunkenness as an issue for such a time as this? Was it connected to your upbringing as a child? Was it a family pattern in any way?
God bless you as you seek His Holy Spirit Wisdom and Comfort on this issue. May you go forward on His path, “perfecting holiness in the fear of God.” (2 Corinthians 7:1).
