I really like this from Jerry Savelle's daily devotional today:
| Today's Confession: I'm not normal. I'm living in the realm of the extraordinary. | |
| Devotional: God wants us to begin to expect the extraordinary. Forget about the past and don't limit God by saying, "I've never heard anything like this before in my life." Don't say that. That doesn't have anything to do with what God's going to do in the future. You haven't seen everything God can do, but if you will dare to believe, then you will! In fact, His Word says: "Do not (earnestly) remember the former things; neither consider the things of old. Behold I am doing a new thing." Isaiah 43:18,19 (Amplified Bible) God is doing a new thing. And, if God wants to do a new thing, then let Him do it! He says in Isaiah 43:13 (Amplified Bible), "I will work, and who can hinder or reverse it?" God is saying that He is going to do this. Satan's not going to be able to stop it. Governments are not going to be able to stop it. The economy won't be able to stop it. It's going to happen and you can either expect it to come to pass in your life or just hear about it happening to others. Either way, it's going to happen. |
The Word of God says this in 1 Peter 2:9:
9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated nation, [God’s] own purchased, special people, that you may set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.
THIS is who we are IN HIM! It's high time we started looking, speaking and acting like it! Here is a very old song by DC Talk called "Nu Thang":
"Nu Thang"
[intro]
Ya know He's doin' it
God is doin' a nu thang
Ya know He's doin' it
God is doin' a nu thang
Ya know He's doin' it
God is doin' a nu thang
Ya know He's doin' it
God is doin' a nu thang
My God is doin' a brand nu thang
But, since time began, He remains the same
Faithful, forever to His word
And solid, a cornerstone unstirred
But, look down through the ages and you will find
God doesn't change, but He knows the time
From harp to piano, and song to rap
Ya know, God's wit us, so we can not lack and so
[chorus]
God is doin' a nu thang
In our lives so...
We're doin' a nu thang
Through Jesus Christ
God is doin' a nu thang
Through our music
We're doin' a nu thang
So He can use it
God's usin' this music and we're comin' strong
DC Talkin', often singin' a song
To make ya think twice 'bout the way thatcha live
And, let ya know Christ is the one that'll give
Peace in ya heart, a nu start
Call on the Lord, and he'll do His part
A brand nu thang to ya raggedy walk
He might just match it up to that big ol' talk
[repeat chorus]
[bridge-repeat intro]
Like an MC, I'm here to boast
I rap about Christ, yo here's a dose
So loud and proud of the God I serve
Try to say He ain't wit it...huh, ya got nerve
Christ is the reason for dc Talk
He's the focus of our daily walk, y'all
Without him, we ain't nothin' but names
But through God, we're doin' brand nu thangs
[repeat chorus]
God is doin' a nu thang
We're doin' a nu thang [5x]
Ya know He's doin' it
God is doin' a nu thang
Ya know He's doin' it
God is doin' a nu thang
Ya know He's doin' it
God is doin' a nu thang
Ya know He's doin' it
God is doin' a nu thang
My God is doin' a brand nu thang
But, since time began, He remains the same
Faithful, forever to His word
And solid, a cornerstone unstirred
But, look down through the ages and you will find
God doesn't change, but He knows the time
From harp to piano, and song to rap
Ya know, God's wit us, so we can not lack and so
[chorus]
God is doin' a nu thang
In our lives so...
We're doin' a nu thang
Through Jesus Christ
God is doin' a nu thang
Through our music
We're doin' a nu thang
