Title: The Power of Elevation
Text:
John 12:32 (NLT)
32 And when I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw everyone to myself."
Observation:
This morning as I opened my eyes I looked up to my heavenly Father, and called upon Him in prayer. When we look up to our Father in heaven, and draw near to Him we experience His divine presence in our heart.
As I reflect upon what I experience, the words of this hymn helped me to identify, and savor these precious moments with the Father.
I come to the garden alone,
While the dew is still on the roses,
And the voice I hear falling on my ear
The Son of God discloses.
◦ Refrain:
◦ And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
◦ And He tells me I am His own;
◦ And the joy we share as we tarry there,
◦ None other has ever known.
So, as I sat down at my desk in my computer hutch space, I continue to bask in the glow of my wakeup experience with the Father this morning.
My one word for today will be elevation. I will seek to lift the precious Savior up this morning, and I will begin by sharing what I have experience with my family and my friends. It is no secret what God can do, what He's done for others He will do for you. I invite you to join with me in lifting the Savior up today, and everyday.
John 12:32 (AMP)
32 And I, if and when I am lifted up from the earth [on the cross], will draw and attract all men [Gentiles as well as Jews] to Myself.
Prayer:
Father God, Sovereign Lord, Abba Father, I delight to have the privilege of spending time alone withYou.
Father, I delight to give honor, praise, and glory to Your most holy and righteous name.
Father, the desire You have planted in my heart today is to lift the precious Savior up; to point people to the cross where Jesus paid the sin debt for every living being because there is none righteous; no not one.
Father, draw us near to the cross so that we can see Jesus, and receive Him into our heart, and exchange our unrighteousness for His righteousness. In the mighty name of Jesus I pray, Amen.
Isaiah 55:11 (KJV)
11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
