How Could I Ask For More - Cindy Morgan

There's nothing like the warmth of a summer afternoon
Walking to the sunlight, and being cradled my the moon
Catching fireflies at night
Building castles in the sand
Kissing Mam's face goodnight
And holding Daddy's hand

Thank you Lord, how could I ask for more

Running barefoolt in the grass
A little hide and go seek
Being so in love, that you can hardly eat
Dancing in the dark, when there's no one else around
Being bundled 'neath the covers, watching snow
Fall to the ground

Thank you Lord, how could I ask for more

So many things I thought would bring me happiness
Some dreams that are realities today
Such an irony the things that mean the most to me
Are the memories that I've made along the way

So if there's anything I've learned
From this journey I am on
Simple truths will keep you going
Simple love will keep you strong
Cause there are questions without answers
Flames that never die
Heartaches we go through are often blessings in disguise
So thank you Lord, oh thank you Lord
How could I ask for more

09/22 Journal Notes

Joyce Myer Notes:

She says every time she goes to a new city.

I bind the strongholds in Jesus Name! Satan I will go in and rob your kingdom today. Souls will be saved, people will be filled with the Holy Spirit. I plead the Blood of Jesus over myself that the enemy can't come against me and do me harm. No demonic activity can be successful against me, as I go in and rob satans kingdom! I am covered in the Name of Jesus!! AMEN!

SAY IT!!

I RESIST YOU
I BIND YOU
I REBUKE YOU IN THE NAME OF JESUS!

* Be determined not to be talked out of the will of God! Don't go to people for something you can get from God!

* Don't fall into the trap of spening your life being mad at people.
* Hurting people - hurt people
* Somewhere along the line someone has to draw a blood line [of Jesus] and say IT STOPS WITH ME!! ITS NOT GOING TO THE NEXT GENERATION!!

I AM NOT GONNA LIVE WITH HATRED
I AM NOT GONNA LIVE WITH BITTERNESS
I REFUSE TO LIFE OFFENDED ALL THE TIME!!

1) Recognize that God is your source and He uses different resources. Just because something is drying up in your life doesn't mean there is sin, its means there is CHANGE!

LET GOD BE GOD AND YOU BE YOU!
You can't be the Holy Spirit to yourself!

2) Trust God with your future.

GOD IN LIGHT AND IN HIM THERE IS NO DARKNESS!! AT ALL!!
You CAN trust God.
Trust in the quality of his Character!

Give it all to God.
Your marriage, your kids, your finances, your relationships.

* If fear stays in your life, your fears will come true.
* Where there is fear - there is confusion and strongholds and that is ABMORNAL for the believer!

* Behaviour comes out of our belief system. Fear damages your relationship with God.
* Fear fosters torment.

Causes of Fear:

1) Sin - to miss the mark
2) Learn behaviour - from parents, superstitions, school, society
3) Ignorance - False arrogance
4) Imaginations - False Evidence Appearing Real

Change comes by the Word of God!

09/16 Journal Notes

Fear is anything that moves you from a stability in faith - the Word of God acting in your life.

Fear causes you to panic, to abort the Word over your life and look at your circumstances.

REMEMBER - Wes King

Remember
Oh, I never will forget
My Ebeneezer
Is the day You paid my debt

So tender
Was the way that we first met
I thought I heard the angels singing
I thought I heard my mama cry
As I walked down the aisle
And I will...

Remember
When a sea was in between
Me and where I needed to be free
And then there
In the moment of my need
The ocean floor went dry
And You divided the sea
And saved my life

Remember
Wont' you tell me one more time
Just to be here
Is in iteself a glorious sign
Consider
And let it ease this weary mind
Every thing has worked together
There's a purpose in the pain
These trials are not in vain

HOLD ME JESUS - Rich Mullens

Well, sometimes my life
Just don't make sense at all
When the mountains look so big
And my faith just seems so small

CHORUS:
So hold me Jesus,
'cause I'm shaking like a leaf
You have been King of my glory
Won't You be my Prince of Peace

And I wake up in the night and feel the dark
It's so hot inside my soul
I swear there must be blisters on my heart

CHORUS

Surrender don't come natural to me
I'd rather fight You for something I don't really want
Than to take what You give that I need
And I've beat my head against so many walls
Now I'm falling down, I'm falling on my knees

And this Salvation Army band
Is playing this hymn
And Your grace rings out so deep
It makes my resistance seem so thin

CHORUS

You have been King of my glory
Won't You be my Prince of Peace

Journal Notes - Songs on my mind

Sept 12. Joyce Myer Notes:

* When God saves you, He doesn't change your personality.

* The input of the Word of God will have the output of a changed life.

Jill Phillips - STEEL BARS

So this is how it feels at the rock bottom of despair
When the house I built comes crashing down
And this is how it feels when I know the man that I say I am
Is not the man that I am when no one's around
This is how it feels to come alive again
And start fighting back to gain control
And this is how it feels to let freedom in
And break these chains that enslave my soul

CHORUS: I refuse to be locked up in here like a prison cell
Where all I ever get is a meal and four walls
I used to be just fine in here but not anymore
Gonna break through these steel bars

So tell me how it feels when the tables start to turn
And you find yourself at the losing end
Tell me how it feels, you're not welcome here
'Cause I'm tired of pain and I'm tired of sin

CHORUS

I won't let you win
I have no doubt
I don't want you in
So get out, get out

CHORUS I refuse to be locked up in here like a prison cell
Where all I ever get is a meal and four walls
I used to be just fine in here but not anymore
Gonna break through these steel bars
