He Has Shown Thee, My Soul

God Has Shown Thee, My Soul

God has shown thee, oh told thee, my soul

What is good, what He wants, has not He?

But to do what is just, show mercy, be kind,

And with God on thy path walk humbly.

God has spoken to thee through His Word,

Does He not ever speak through His Law,

His commands ever speak and teach us His ways,

And tell us walk humbly with God.

God has shown thee, Oh shows thee, my soul,

Ever speaks, ever sings through His world,

All that He’s made, tells of His grace,

His justice, mercy, and love.

God showed thee, once showed thee, my soul,

His measureless kindness to all

When He sent His one Beloved Son

To die for the sins of the lost;

To redeem every soul through His spotless blood,

By bearing our sins and shame on the cross,

Though never a sin committed the Son,

He bore the price our redemption would cost;’

This was the love of our Creator,

The lost through His Son restore to His heart

That we might as friends with Him to trod,

Humbly each day on our path with God,

In Jesus’ Holy Name, Amen.

What’s in a Signature?

My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ asked me to sign all the works He gives me to share with His Children this way as a testimony of His Gospel: Copyright © my name: *Jesus redeemed my soul and owns its copyright by purchasing it with His spotless blood on the cross, I am now His blood bought redeemed child, a holy temple of the Most High God according to 1 Corinthians 3 and 6. “Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body.”1 Corinthians 6:19-20 NASB1995

The Lord said that I am His workmanship through whom and with whom He creates all His works that He might be glorified in and through me and produce fruit for His heavenly Kingdom. I did not choose Him, He chose me to go and bear fruit for Him, and I could not bear fruit apart from Him and to abide in Him and then and only through my Indwelling risen Lord and Savior within me could I be able to produce eternal fruit to the glory of God the Father inspired by His Holy Spirit.

Jesus said, I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. You are My friends if you do what I command you. You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you.

This I command you, that you love one another.” John 15:5, 14, 16-17 NASB1995

The Lord said I was not to ever be ashamed to attach my name to my Savior’s name, I was to hold on fast to His name and never stop professing His name for there was salvation in no other name under the heavens.

Jesus said, He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”

John 3:18 NASB1995

“…let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead—by this name this man stands here before you in good health. He is the stone which was rejected by you, the builders, but which became the chief corner stone. And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.””

Acts 4:10-12 NASB1995

“always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father;”

Ephesians 5:20 NASB1995

“Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.”

Colossians 3:17 NASB1995

“‘I know your deeds. Behold, I have put before you an open door which no one can shut, because you have a little power, and have kept My word, and have not denied My name.”

Revelation 3:8 NASB1995

“that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon Him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Romans 10:9-13 KJV

*The Lord Jesus spoke to my heart that I would honor Him through my obedience to show my faith and belief in Him by confessing that He is a risen Lord and Savior named Jesus Christ and that He does indeed live inside of my heart through His Holy Spirit inspiring my works as a reborn Christian, risking whatever opinion people may have of me for doing this so long as I would not displease my God by disobeying Him. The Lord requires we love Him and desires His approval more than the favor of man. In Jesus’ Name, amen.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, search our hearts and minds, correct us in any way where we have gone astray and fallen short in our love for You, our faith, our gratitude, our honesty, our hope, our faith, our willingness to witness to Thy salvation to be a testimony in this world of Thy great love in giving Thy only Son to die to save us from eternal death, to show that we truly believe You are not a fairy tale in a world that has shut You up in the genre of myths and fantasies and all who believe in You to be labeled as losers and fanatics. May You renew all hearts who have lost their first love for Christ and renew their faith and revive hope and passion and zeal for the Lord, oh bless all hearts and restore each of Thy precious children, and encourage Thy children to know how much you love them unconditionally, in Jesus holy name, thank You, we love you, Lord, amen.❤️

You are precious to God, so am I~

~He made us all, He loves us, no matter what race, color, gender, age, rich or poor ~Jesus died for all.

Although we may disagree, we shall all meet one day in eternity on equal grounds before Him. Let us walk in love, honor, and respect, In Jesus name. God bless you. Amen. 🙏🏻

Two Faces

Featured ~ Suzanne Davis Harden

Two Faces

The prayer poem Two Faces is inspired from a dream I had the other night.

In the poem I describe my vision of the two faces of the Lord Jesus Christ and when I woke up I was very upset and prayed as I always do about the dreams the Lord gives me for He very often speaks to me through His Word when I ask what my dreams mean. So He gave me a few verses to meditate on as well as the prayer poem. After reading the poem, and praying see how many more bible verses the Holy Spirit inspires you to find to meditate on. He will teach you many things to be sure! May God bless and encourage you as you study and ponder His word and spend time in fellowship with Him today. In Jesus’ name, amen,

Here are some verses.

ENCOURAGING SCRIPTURES

”He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world didn’t recognize Him. He came to his own, and those who were His own didn’t receive Him.

But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become God’s children, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.“ John 1:10-13 WEBUS

”In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him. Without Him, nothing was made that has been made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn’t overcome it.“

John 1:1-5 WEBUS

”Even if our Good News is veiled, it is veiled in those who are dying, in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving,

that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ,

who is the image of God, should not dawn on them.

For we don’t preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake, seeing it is God who said,

“Light will shine out of darkness,” who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.“

2 Corinthians 4:3-6 WEBUS

Therefore I urge you, brothers,

by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice,

holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service.

Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed

by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove

what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God.“

Romans 12:1-2 WEBUS

”Jesus answered, “My Kingdom is not of this world.

If my Kingdom were of this world,

then my servants would fight,

that I wouldn’t be delivered to the Jews.

But now my Kingdom is not from here.”

Pilate therefore said to him, “Are you a king then?”

Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king.

For this reason I have been born, and for this reason

I have come into the world, that I should testify to the truth.

Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.”“

John 18:36-37 WEBUS

”Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you don’t believe.

The works that I do in My Father’s name, these testify about Me.

But you don’t believe, because you are not of My sheep, as I told you.

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.

I give eternal life to them.

They will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.

My Father who has given them to Me is greater than all.

No one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand.

I and the Father are one.”“

John 10:25-30 WEBUS

”Therefore Jesus said to them, “If God were your father, you would love Me, for I came out and have come from God. For I haven’t come of Myself, but He sent Me.

Why don’t you understand My speech?

Because you can’t hear My word.

You are of your father the devil,

and you want to do the desires of your father.

He was a murderer from the beginning,

and doesn’t stand in the truth,

because there is no truth in him.

When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own;

for he is a liar, and the father of lies.

Which of you convicts me of sin?

If I tell the truth, why do you not believe Me?

He who is of God hears the words of God.

For this cause you don’t hear, because you are not of God.”

John 8:42-44, 46-47 WEBUS

God Will Be Waiting

Featured ~ Suzanne Davis Harden

Most people assume that when someone becomes a Christian that their lives will be a glorious paradise afterwards.

That it will be as if Christ had come and whisked them off to Heaven and they will henceforth have no more troubles in this life.

But my walk with the Lord has been just the opposite.

And from my study of scripture, the Gospel teaches that Christians should expect suffering as a normal part of their journey with Christ.

One is either called to suffer or to serve those who are suffering.

There are no two ways about it.

Jesus said, “And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after Me, is not worthy of Me. He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for My sake shall find it.” Matthew 10:38-39 KJV

All God’s children are equal and the Lord has no favorites.

Jesus said, “““…You are all equal as brothers and sisters…Whoever serves you like a servant is the greatest among you. People who think they are better than others will be made humble. But people who humble themselves will be made great.” Matthew 23:8-12 ERV

I live with an autoimmune illness that causes me to suffer from chronic daily migraines. These have been all but unbearable in the past few months. But for the grace of my precious Savior, I could not survive them.

When Christ saves a soul, it is not to take us out of this world, but to help us overcome it through His power, strength and grace.

Only Christ’s presence within me enables me to survive through the darkness of this illness.

Any artist or photographer who works primarily with graphics or photography software will be familiar with a function known as the invert tool that reverses an image from light to dark.

During severe migraines all of the light goes out of my heart and it’s as if I have been transposed into a shadowland of darkness.

I cry out to Christ to reverse me back into His world of light and love where there is peace, hope, and joy.

For in the inverted world of darkness there is no joy, hope, or peace, only intense suffering and pain.

Oh Jesus, I pray! Guard my heart from the world of darkness in this place of trouble and fear and pain.

And Jesus comes and holds my hand. He is with me in the storm and guides me safely through.

For His Word promises, “…Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me; Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.” Psalm 23:3-4 KJV

And He keeps every promise forever. Psalm 146:6

He promises “… I will never leave you; I will never run away from you.” Hebrews 13:5 ERV

“Be strong and be brave. Don’t be afraid of those people because the Lord your God is with you. He will not fail you or leave you.””

Deuteronomy 31:6 ERV

God brings the soul who trusts in Him through their trials.

He has proved Himself faithful time and again as my saving strength.

No amount of prosperity, fame, money or anything material will purchase peace, joy, or health.

If one comes to Christ seeking Him for material blessings they will be sadly disappointed. For He is not found in secular things that can be lost in the blink of an eye. I lost my health in an instant and my world was upended in the prime of my life. Never would I have suspected that I would lose something I had taken so much for granted.

Christ is a spiritual God who will be there for the soul even when they have lost everything else in this world.

For the world and everything we see around us is passing away, and when it is gone, God will be there waiting for every child who believed, hoped, and trusted in Him all along.

Jesus said, “These things I have spoken unto you, that in Me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” John 16:33 KJV

In Jesus’ name, amen.

This is a prayer poem that I made this morning in my journal after suffering from a horrible migraine. Once the Lord got me through the storm He helped me make this graphic so I could share this prayer. I pray He will use it to bless others who suffer through the shadow valleys as I do, in Jesus’ name, amen.

Redeemed For Resurrection in Christ

Featured ~ Suzanne Davis Harden

All glory be to our wonderful Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for this latest instrumental album Redeemed for Resurrection in Christ ~Original Keyboard Instrumental Prayers! The newest release is the natural follow up to the instrumental album “Behold The Lamb released in February 2023.

While “Behold The Lamb” is a musical meditation on Christ, the Lamb of God who sacrificed His life by dying on the cross for the sins of humanity, the theme of Redeemed For Resurrection asks listeners to reflect on what redemption in Christ actually means for the soul who receives Jesus as their Savior.

The Lord has always given me the titles for each song to use for His albums.

The titles are often inspired by a scripture.

The Lord revealed to me several years ago that His instrumentals were musical conversations intended to ignite intimate conversations~ prayer ~between Himself and the precious souls who take them into their prayer closets. (*see Matthew 6:6)

“But when you pray, you should go into your room and close the door. Then pray to your Father. He is there in that private place. He can see what is done in private, and he will reward you.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭6‬ ‭ERV‬‬

The verse~ the song, was as a flame, a light to stimulate His children to go to their bibles, to seek His face, and believe by faith that Christ will teach them through His Word, by His Holy Spirit. For “…faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.” Romans 10:17

The Lord has promised in His Word to reveal Himself to His children who believe in Him and keep His commandments.

Jesus said, “He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will disclose Myself to him.”

Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him.” John 14:21, 23 NASB1995

And He promised “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand.” John 10:27-28 NASB1995

One caveat if we are of a worldly mindset, ( here is the dictionary definition of worldly: *of or concerned with material values or ordinary life rather than a spiritual existence: ie~ “…his ambitions for worldly success”)

~ then the Lord stressed that worldliness would be that one factor that would bar the Holy Spirit from entering the door of their heart.

Jesus said, “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments, and I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever; that is the Spirit of Truth, Whom the world cannot receive, because it does not behold Him or know Him…” John 14:15-17 NASB

A worldly heart, Jesus told His followers, cannot see the Holy Spirit or ever know Him. It could not ever know or walk with God.

I pray always that the Lord Jesus will speak to many through the things He shares through me to those who find them scattered throughout the earth.

Those gifts are always meant to help His children seek His face through His Word and pray directly to Him.

I believe the Lord desires to have an intimate relationship with His children even as Enoch walked in such a way with God.

The scriptures say “And Enoch walked with God and he was not, for God took him…” Genesis 5:24

Enoch also believed God. Because of Enoch’s faith, God took him away to heaven. He did not die like other people. As a result, nobody could ever find him, because God had taken him away. Before God took him away, it was clear that Enoch had made God happy.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭11‬:‭5‬ ‭EASY‬‬

Jesus said, ‘“This is eternal life that they might know God and Jesus Christ whom He has sent.” John 17:3

How can we know God if we don’t spend time with Him and read His Word?

The Lord had specifically said, “Do not self promote…”

All of the business models were in opposition to this plan. The Lord’s guidance did not make sense. “I don’t see how this will ever help Thy songs to reach Thy children,” I prayed. Of course He meant don’t self promote in the way the world does. Which seemed to be all the time. I was to share only as the Lord led me to share. He told me that when I published something to share His seeds and then whenever He asked me after that, but not until He said to.

But the Lord was always opposed to the never ending streams of commercial business advice and strategies for success that were ever being hurled at me.

So I just kept on doing what the Holy Spirit led me to do, ever relying on God’s Word, trusting that He who loved me would never fail me.

“But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come.” John 16:13 NASB1995

As far as the songs were concerned, I named them what the Holy Spirit led me to name them. For it was all His music.

The Lord said not to worry about trying to gain favor with the culture. I was to only care about God’s favor. All I had to do was to honor and obey Him.

The Lord impressed on my heart that what mattered to worldly vanity would never matter in the Lord’s Kingdom.

Each saint is the Lord’s temple in which Christ resides when they invite Jesus into their heart. (*see 1 Corinthians 3:16, 6:19)

“For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭6‬:‭20‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Conforming to the world He stressed had no place in Christ’s kingdom and can never serve Christ’s purposes. By conforming to the world He meant doing things that in a way that was not according to His will. He wanted me to abide in Him in prayer, to listen to His voice, and to trust Him by faith that He would lead me by His Holy Spirit down the right path. That He would not fail me. That He is real and not an imaginary Creator.

The Lord stressed that if I would trust Him, and do everything He asked that He would demonstrate His faithfulness to His Word. And so thirty six albums later He has not failed me and done everything exactly the way He has promised.

Jesus said, And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto Me.” John‬ ‭12‬:‭32‬ ‭KJV‬‬

He told me His reality could only be manifested as I removed my focus from this world and off myself by gazing upwards in sincere worship, living for my Savior who had given Himself without reservations to redeem our souls so that we might serve Him in the resurrection of the new lives He had purchased for us through His death on the cross.

“But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.” ‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭26‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

Christ would teach His children these truths through His eternal Word as they sought Him with a pure heart.

God is love.

He has no favorites. He loves each of His children as if they were the only child He had to love. He longs for each of us to come to know Him and spend time with Him each day.

Jesus promised to reveal Himself to those who would believe.

Jesus said “This is the will of Him who sent Me,

that of all that He has given Me I lose nothing,

but raise it up on the last day.

For this is the will of My Father,

that everyone who beholds the Son

and believes in Him will have eternal life,

and I Myself will raise him up on the last day.”

No one can come to Me unless

the Father who sent Me draws him;

and I will raise him up on the last day.

It is written in the prophets,

‘And they shall all be taught of God.’

Everyone who has heard

and learned from the Father,

comes to Me.”

John 6:39-40, 44-45 NASB1995

In Jesus name amen.
