when i think about the lord

Ephesians 2:1-10, The Message
(1)  It wasn’t so long ago that you were mired in that old stagnant life of sin.
(2)  You let the world, which doesn’t know the first thing about living, tell you how to live. You filled your lungs with polluted unbelief, and then exhaled disobedience.
(3)  We all did it, all of us doing what we felt like doing, when we felt like doing it, all of us in the same boat. It’s a wonder God didn’t lose his temper and do away with the whole lot of us.
(4)  Instead, immense in mercy and with an incredible love,
(5)  he embraced us. He took our sin-dead lives and made us alive in Christ. He did all this on his own, with no help from us!
(6)  Then he picked us up and set us down in highest heaven in company with Jesus, our Messiah.
(7)  Now God has us where he wants us, with all the time in this world and the next to shower grace and kindness upon us in Christ Jesus.
(8)  Saving is all his idea, and all his work. All we do is trust him enough to let him do it. It’s God’s gift from start to finish!
(9)  We don’t play the major role. If we did, we’d probably go around bragging that we’d done the whole thing!
(10)  No, we neither make nor save ourselves. God does both the making and saving. He creates each of us by Christ Jesus to join him in the work he does, the good work he has gotten ready for us to do, work we had better be doing.

When I think about the Lord
How He saved me
How He raised me
How He filled me with the Holy Ghost
How He healed me to the uttermost

When I think about the Lord
How He picked me up
And turned me around
How He placed my feet on solid ground

It makes me want to shout
Hallelujah!
Thank You, Jesus!
Lord, You’re worthy
of all the glory
and all the honor
and all the praise!

Hallelujah!
Thank You, Jesus!
Lord, You’re worthy
of all the glory
and all the honor
and all the praise!

shepherd of my heart

Maker of this heart of mine, you know me very well
You understand my deepest thought, more than I know myself
So when I face the darkness, when I need to find my way
I trust in you, shepherd of my heart

Keeper of this heart of mine, your patience has no end
You’ve loved back into your arms, time and time again
So if I start to wander, like the lamb that goes astray
I’ll trust in you, shepherd of my heart

You’re the beacon of my night, you’re the sunlight of my days
I can rest within your arms, I can know your loving ways
So let the cold winds blow and let the storm range all around
I trust in you, shepherd of my heart

Giver of this life of me, you’re what I’m living for
For all my deepest gratitude you love me even more
So as I walk through darkness, listening for the master’s call
I’ll trust in you shepherd of my heart

solution

a very nice song…

Cause it is not a human right
To stare not fight
While broken nations dream
Open up our eyes so blind
That we might find
The mercy for the need

Singing hey now
Fill our hearts with Your compassion
Hey now
As we hold to our confession
Yeah

Well it is not too far a cry
To much to try
To help the least of these
Politics will not decide
If we should rise
And be Your hands and feet

Singing hey now
Fill our hearts with Your compassion
Hey now
As we hold to our confession

Woah-oh-oh
God be the solution
Woah-oh-oh
We will be Your hands and be Your feet.
Yeah, yeah

Higher than a circumstance
Your promise stands
Your love for all to see
Higher than protest line and dollar signs
Your love is all we need

Only You can mend the broken heart
And cause the blind to see
Erase complete the sinners past
And set the captives free

Only You can take the widows cry
And cause her heart to sing
Be a Father to the fatherless
Our Savior and our King

We will be Your hands, we will be Your feet
We will run this race for the least of these
On the darkest place, we will be Your light
We will be Your light

We will be Your hands , we will be Your feet
We will run this race for the least of these
In the darkest place, we will be your light
We will be your light
We’ll sing

Woah-oh-oh
God be the solution
Woah-oh-oh
We will be Your hands and be Your feet

Woah-oh-oh
God be the solution
Woah-oh-oh
We will be Your hands and be Your feet
Yeah, yeah

We will run we will run
We will run with the solution [2x]

We will be Your hands we will be Your feet
We will run this race for the least of these
In the darkest place we will be Your light
We will be Your light
We sing

jehovah rapha

 

He used his servant body to carry our sins to the Cross so we could be rid of sin, free to live the right way. His wounds became your healing.

(1 Peter 2:24, The Message)

 

You hold my every moment
You calm my raging seas
You walk with me through fire
And heal all my disease

I trust in You
I trust in You

I believe You’re my Healer
I believe You are all I need
I believe You’re my Portion
I believe You’re more than enough for me
Jesus You’re all I need

Nothing is impossible for You
Nothing is impossible for You
Nothing is impossible for You
You hold my world in Your hands

(Hillsong-This is Our God)

 

dear Lord,

I believe that You are still the same, yesterday, today and forever. I believe Your miracle is still happened these days. I believe that You love me and don’t want me to have disease in my body. I believe that You are the sun of righteousness with healing in Your wings.

Everytime I come to You, I just cry, cry, and cry. I say nothing. Even now, when I’m writing this, I’m crying. You see each of my tears that fall.

Lord, I want to learn much about Your words. Through this disease You want to teach me about Your healing, as Your words said

These are some of the signs that will accompany believers: They will throw out demons in my name, they will speak in new tongues, they will take snakes in their hands, they will drink poison and not be hurt, they will lay hands on the sick and make them well.

(Mark 16:17-18, The Message)

Once, when I understand about this, I will be healed and I will be ready to bless others through healing prayer. So, many tribes will come to You through me. My desire is to fulfill Your calling and be blessing to many tribes and nations.

I put my whole hope and trust in You. In Jesus name. Amen.

That’s the place where GOD set up rules and procedures; that’s where he started testing them. GOD said, “If you listen, listen obediently to how GOD tells you to live in his presence, obeying his commandments and keeping all his laws, then I won’t strike you with all the diseases that I inflicted on the Egyptians; I am GOD your healer.” 

(Exodus 15:26, The Message)

I am The GOD that healeth thee
I am The Lord your healer
I said My word and I heal Your disease
I am The Lord your healer

You are The GOD that healeth me
You are The Lord my healer
You said Your word and You heal my disease
You are The Lord my healer

(Don Moen)

the savior king

“I am telling you the truth: no one can see the Kingdom of God without being born again”

“I am telling you the truth,” replied Jesus, “that no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born of water and the Spirit. A person is born physically of human parents, but is born spiritually of the Spirit. Do not be surprised because I tell you that you must all be born again. The wind blows wherever it wishes; you hear the sound it makes, but you do not know where it comes from or where it is going. It is like that with everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not die but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to be its judge, but to be its savior. Those who believe in the Son are not judged; but those who do not believe have already been judged, because they have not believed in God’s only Son.

Because all people have sinned, they have fallen short of God’s glory. They receive God’s approval freely by an act of his kindness through the price Christ Jesus paid to set us free from sin. God showed that Christ is the throne of mercy where God’s approval is given through faith in Christ’s blood. In his patience God waited to deal with sins committed in the past.

This is the testimony in essence: God gave us eternal life; the life is in his Son. So, whoever has the Son, has life; whoever rejects the Son, rejects life.

 

 

Saviour King (composed by Mia Fields & Marty Sampson)

Let now the weak say I have strength
By the Spirit of power that raised Christ from the dead

And now the poor stand and confess
That my portion is Him and I’m more than blessed

Let now our hearts burn with a flame
A fire consuming all for Your Son’s holy name
And with the heavens we declare You are our King

We love You Lord, we worship You
You are our God, You alone are good

Let now Your church shine as the bride
That You saw in your heart as You offered up Your life
Let now the lost be welcomed home by the saved and redeemed
Those adopted as Your own

We love You Lord, we worship You
You are our God, You alone are good

You asked your Son to carry this
The heavy cross our weight of sin

I love You Lord, I worship You
Hope which was lost, now stands renewed

I give my life to honor this
The love of Christ, the Savior King

 

 

Terjemahan bebas :

Aku mengatakan kebenaran ini kepada kamu, tidak ada seorangpun yang dapat melihat Kerajaan Allah sebelum dia dilahirkan kembali.

Aku mengatakan kebenaran ini kepadamu, jawab Yesus, tidak ada seorangpun yang dapat memasuki Kerajaan Allah tanpa dilahirkan melalui air dan dalam Roh. Manusia dilahirkan secara fisik melalui orang tua manusia, tetapi dilahirkan secara roh melalui Roh. Janganlah terkejut karena aku berkata kepadamu bahwa kamu semua harus dilahirkan kembali. Angin berhembus ke mana pun ia mau, kamu bisa mendengar suaranya, tetapi kamu tidak tahu dari mana ia datang atau hendak pergi ke mana ia. Sperti itulah orang-orang yang dilahirkan oleh Roh.

Karena TUHAN sangat mengasihi dunia ini, Ia memberikan Anak-Nya satu-satunya, supaya setiap orang yang percaya kepada-Nya tidak akan mati, melainkan memiliki hidup yang kekal. TUHAN tidak mengutus Anak-Nya ke dunia ini untuk menjadi hakim dunia, tetapi untuk menjadi penyelamat dunia. Mereka yang percaya kepada Sang Anak tidak dihakimi, tetapi mereka yang tidak percaya sudah dihakimi, karena mereka tidak percaya kepada satu-satunya Anak Allah.

Karena semua orang telah berbuat dosa, mereka tidak layak menerima kemuliaan TUHAN. Mereka menerima pengampunan dari TUHAN secara cuma-cuma karena sebuah tindakan baik yang Dia lakukan melalui harga yang sudah dibayar Yesus Kristus untuk membebaskan kita dari dosa. TUHAN sudah menunjukkan bahwa Kristus adalah takhta kasih karunia di mana pengampunan TUHAN diberikan melalui iman kepada darah Kristus. Dalam kesabaran-Nya TUHAN mau berurusan dengan dosa-dosa yang sudah dilakukan di masa lalu.

Inilah intisari kesaksian itu: TUHAN memberikan hidup yang kekal kepada kita dan hidup yang kekal itu ada di dalam Anak-Nya. Jadi, siapapun yang memiliki Sang Anak, dia memiliki hidup yang kekal, siapapun yang menolak Sang Anak, dia menolak hidup yang kekal.

 

 

Raja Penyelamat (digubah oleh Mia Fields dan Marty Sampson)

Biarlah orang yang lemah berkata saya memiliki kekuatan
Oleh Roh kekuatan yang membangkitkan Kristus dari antara yang mati

Dan sekarang orang yang miskin berdiri dan mengaku
Bahwa bagianku adalah Dia
Dan saya tidak sekedar diberkati

Biarlah sekarang hati kita dibakar oleh api
Api yang membakar kami semua demi nama Anak-Mu yang kudus
Dan bersama seluruh surga kami menyatakan bahwa Engkaulah Raja kami

Kami mencintai-Mu TUHAN, kami menyembah-Mu
Engkaulah TUHAN kami, hanya Engkau yang baik

Biarlah sekarang gereja-Mu bersinar
Seperti pengantin wanita yang Engkau lihat di hati-Mu
Saat Engkau menyerahkan nyawa-Mu

Biarlah sekarang orang-orang yang terhilang
Disambut kembali ke rumah
Oleh mereka yang sudah diselamatkan dan ditebus
Mereka semua yang diangkat menjadi milik-Mu

Biarlah sekarang hati kita dibakar oleh api
Api yang membakar semua demi nama Anak-Mu yang kudus
Dan bersama seluruh surga kami menyatakan Kaulah Raja kami

Kami mencintai-Mu TUHAN, kami menyembah-Mu
Engkaulah TUHAN kami, hanya Engkau yang baik

Engkau memerintahkan Anak-Mu untuk menanggungnya
Yaitu salib yang berat, berat karena dosa-dosa kami

Kami mencintai-Mu TUHAN, kami menyembah-Mu
Harapan yang sudah hilang, kini diperbaharui kembali

Aku memberikan hidupku untuk menghormati hal ini
Yaitu kasih Kristus, Sang Raja Penyelamat

there is so much more to see

Tanggal 19-20 Februari yang lalu saya mengikuti seminar dan KKR Kingdom Transformation Now! yang diadakan oleh Jaringan Doa sekota Bandung dan Gereja-gereja di Kota Bandung. Pembicara di seminar dan KKR ini adalah Ps. Jonathan David (hmm…. nice name. menggabungkan nama dua orang sahabat) dari Malaysia. Topik-topik yang dibahas adalah :

  1. Kebangkitan dari kuasa firman TUHAN
  2. Kekuatan transformasi perorangan
  3. Membangun jemaat dan menguasai kota
  4. Berdampak pada dunia bisnis dan kerja (marketplace)

Pada KKR hari pertama, Ps. Jo (sapaan sok akrab, hehe) menjelaskan Pengkhotbah 3:1-11.

Ada suatu waktu untuk setiap peristiwa di bawah langit ini. Untuk lahir, meninggal, menanam, mencabut yang ditanam, mengasihi, membenci, perang, berdamai, dll (ayat 1-8). Tetapi apakah untung pekerja dari pekerjaannya yang sudah dilakukan dengan berjerih payah (ayat 9)? Seharusnya apapun yang kita lakukan akan menghasilkan sesuatu. Adalah sesuatu yang sia-sia jika kita mengerjakan sesuatu tetapi kita tidak mendapatkan hasil dan juga tidak ke mana-mana. Ada banyak orang yang melakukan hal-hal yang sama dengan cara ritual yang sama, tetapi mereka tidak ke mana-mana. Mereka hanya berlari di tempat. Mereka tidak ke mana-mana. Tidak ada arahan, tetapi ada banyak sekali aktivitas. Mereka berkeringat, tetapi mereka tetap tidak pergi ke mana-mana. Sama seperti orang yang berlari di atas treadmill, yang tidak lari ke mana-mana dan tidak memenangkan perlombaan apapun. Mungkin dia dapat menjadi lebih sehat, tetapi tidak mencapai tujuan apapun. Ada banyak sekali orang yang melakukan banyak hal tetapi mereka sebetulnya sedang tidak ke mana-mana. Ada banyak gereja seperti itu. Setiap minggu mereka bertemu, ada banyak tim penyembahan, hanya bernyanyi, but they’re not going anywhere. Alkitab mengatakan, apa keuntungan semua itu setelah semua jerih payah kita?

Aku telah melihat pekerjaan yang diberikan Allah kepada anak-anak manusia untuk melelahkan dirinya (ayat 10). Sebenarnya, semua hal yang tertulis di ayat 2-8 adalah aktivitas yang diberikan Allah kepada umat manusia untuk menyibukkan diri mereka. Ada waktu untuk membunuh, ada waktu untuk menyembuhkan; ada waktu untuk merombak, ada waktu untuk membangun (ayat 3). Sama seperti tentara US yang mengebom Irak lalu menghancurkannya kemudian membangunnya kembali. Juga sama seperti pasangan suami istri yang bekerja keras untuk menikah, kemudian bekerja keras juga untuk bercerai. Juga sama dengan orang yang sakit, lalu berusaha keras untuk sembuh, lalu sembuh, kemudian berpesta dan makan makanan yang dilarang, kemudian menjadi sakit lagi, kemudian berdoa supaya sembuh kembali. Inilah cara anak-anak manusia melakukan aktivitasnya dan sebenarnya mereka tidak sedang ke mana-mana.

Di ayat 11, TUHAN memberikan pewahyuan bagaimana seharusnya kita hidup di muka bumi ini. Tidak sama seperti manusia lain pada umumnya di muka bumi ini (ayat 2-8). TUHAN tidak ingin kita hanya pergi kerja, pulang kerja, lalu pergi lagi dan pulang lagi. Tidak seperti hamster yang hanya berlari-lari di putaran dalam kandangnya, tidak pergi ke mana-mana, lalu mati.

Ia membuat segala sesuatu indah pada waktunya, bahkan Ia memberikan kekekalan dalam hati mereka. Tetapi manusia tidak dapat menyelami pekerjaan yang dilakukan Allah dari awal sampai akhir. 

TUHAN telah menetapkan sebuah kekekalan dalam hati kita. Tanpa itu, kita tidak akan mengerti apa yang TUHAN sudah mulai lakukan dan bagaimana hal itu diakhiri. Kita terbatas oleh waktu manusia. Waktu manusia menentukan aktivitas manusia. Ada waktu untuk hidup, ada waktu untuk mati, dst. Akan selalu ada waktu yang harus kita jalani untuk melakukan aktivitas dan membuat kita tetap sibuk sehingga kita tidak tahu apa yang sudah TUHAN lakukan, sedang lakukan dan akan lakukan. Jadi, TUHAN bergerak dengan timetable-Nya sendiri dan manusia juga bergerak dalam timetable-nya sendiri. Dua timetable yang berbeda ini sama seperti jalan paralel yang tidak akan bisa bertemu.

TUHAN ingin mengubah semua itu. Sehingga Ia membuat segala sesuatu indah (appropriate) pada waktunya. Segal sesuatunya akan menjadi indah. Segala sesuatunya akan sesuai dengan tempatnya. Apapun yang TUHAN rencanakan akan menjadi rencana dan terjadi dalam hidup kita juga. Sebagai mana terjadi di sorga, begitulah akan terjadi dalam dunia ini. Apapun yang menjadi kerinduan TUHAN akan tergenapi dalam hidup kita.

from the inside out

words and music by joel houston/hillsong united we stand album

 

A thousand times I’ve failed

Still Your mercy remains

Should I stumble again

Still I’m caught in Your grace

 

Everlasting

Your light will shine when all else fades

Never ending

Your glory goes beyond all fame

 

Your will above all else

My purpose remains

The art of losing myself

In bringing You praise

 

In my heart and my soul

I give You control

Consume me from the inside out, Lord

Let justice and praise

Become my embrace

To love You from the inside out

 

And the cry of my heart

Is to bring You praise

From the inside out

Lord, my soul cries out

Hillsong-Mighty to Save

in christ alone

lagu ini sangat memberkati saya. sangat memberikan kekuatan di saat-saat sedang berharap…

Words and Music by Keith Getty & Stuart Townend
Copyright © 2001 Kingsway Thankyou Music

In Christ alone my hope is found;
He is my light, my strength, my song;
This cornerstone, this solid ground,
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace,
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
My comforter, my all in all—
Here in the love of Christ I stand.

In Christ alone, Who took on flesh,
Fullness of God in helpless babe!
This gift of love and righteousness,
Scorned by the ones He came to save.
Till on that cross as Jesus died,
The wrath of God was satisfied;
For ev’ry sin on Him was laid—
Here in the death of Christ I live.

There in the ground His body lay,
Light of the world by darkness slain;
Then bursting forth in glorious day,
Up from the grave He rose again!
And as He stands in victory,
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me;
For I am His and He is mine—
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.

No guilt in life, no fear in death—
This is the pow’r of Christ in me;
From life’s first cry to final breath,
Jesus commands my destiny.
No pow’r of hell, no scheme of man,
Can ever pluck me from His hand;
Till He returns or calls me home—
Here in the pow’r of Christ I’ll stand.
