Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
The strife is o'er, the battle done,
the victory of life is won;
the song of triumph has begun.
Alleluia!

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
The powers of death have done their worst,
but Christ their legions hath dispersed:
let shout of holy joy outburst.
Alleluia!

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
The three sad days are quickly sped,
he rises glorious from the dead:
all glory to our risen Head!
Alleluia!

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
He closed the yawning gates of hell,
the bars from heaven's high portals fell;
let hymns of praise his triumphs tell!
Alleluia!

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
Lord! by the stripes which wounded thee,
from death's dread sting thy servants free,
that we may live and sing to thee.
Alleluia!

Double for all her sins."

And the rough places smooth;

" (NKJV)



Rejoice, the Lord is King! Your Lord and King adore;
Mortals give thanks and sing, and triumph evermore;
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice;
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!

When He had purged our stains He took His seat above;
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice;
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!

His kingdom cannot fail, He rules o’er earth and Heav’n,
The keys of death and hell are to our Jesus giv’n;
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice;
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!

He sits at God’s right hand till all His foes submit,
And bow to His command, and fall beneath His feet:
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice;
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!

He all His foes shall quell, shall all our sins destroy,
And every bosom swell with pure seraphic joy;
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice,
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!

Rejoice in glorious hope! Jesus the Judge shall come,
And take His servants up to their eternal home.
We soon shall hear th’archangel’s voice;
The trump of God shall sound, rejoice!

Ye happy sinners, hear
The prisoner of the Lord,
And wait till Christ appear
According to His word;
Rejoice in hope, rejoice with me,
We shall from all our sins be free.

We hav long since received,
Salvation nearer is
Than when we first believed;
Rejoice in hope, rejoice with me,
We shall from all our sins be free.

Let others hug their chains,
For sin and Satan plead,
And say from sin's remains
They never can be freed;
Rejoice in hope, rejoice with me,
We shall from all our sins be free.

In God we put our trust;
If we our sins confess,
Faithful He is, and just,
From all unrighteousness
To cleanse us all, both you and me;
We shall from all our sins be free.

Who Jesu's suffering share,
My fellow prisoners now,
Ye soon the wreath shall wear
On your truiumphant brow;
Rejoice in hope, rejoice with me,
We shall from all our sinse be free.

The word of God is sure,
And never can remove,
We shall in heart be pure,
And perfected in love;
Rejoice in hope, rejoice with me,
We shall from all our sins be free.

Then let us gladly bring
Our sacrifice of praise;
Let us give thanks, and sing,
And glory in His grace;
Rejoice in hope, rejoice with me,
We shall from all our sins be free.

John 5:36 - 47
"But I have a greater witness than John's; for the works which the Father has given Me to finish -- the very works that I do -- bear witness of Me, that the Father has sent Me. And the Father Himself, who sent Me, has testified of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His form. But you do not have His word abiding in you, because whom He sent, Him you do not believe. You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me. [b]But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life[/b].

I do not receive honor from men. But I know you, that you do not have the love of God in you. I have come in My Father's name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive. How [i][b]can[/b][/i] you believe, who receive honor from one another, and [u]do not[/u] [b][i]seek[/i][/b] the honor that comes from the only God? (NKJV)

(Young's Literal Translation) John 5
44 how are ye able--ye--to believe, glory from one another receiving, and [b]the glory from God alone ye seek not?[/b] 45 `Do not think that I will accuse you unto the Father; there is who is accusing you, Moses--in whom ye have hoped; 46 for if ye were believing Moses, ye would have been believing me, for he wrote concerning me; 47 [b]but if [u]his writings[/u] ye believe not, how shall ye believe [u]my sayings[/u]?[/b]'

... speaking to me again from His word and through His servants, the saints.



Happy the soul whom God delights
To honour with His sealing grace,
On whom His hidden name He writes,
And decks him with the robes of praise,
And bids him calmly wait to prove
The utmost powers of perfect love,
The utmost powers of perfect love.

I cannot, dare not now deny
The things my God has freely given.
That happy, favoured soul am I,
Who find in Christ a contstant heaven;
He makes me all His sweetness know,
He makes my cup of joy o'erflow,
He makes my cup of joy o'erflow.

His grace to me salvation brings,
His grace hath set me up on high,
He bears me still on eagle's wings,
He makes me ride upon the sky,
With Him in heavenly places sit,
And set the moon beneath my feet,
And set the moon beneath my feet.

An hidden life in Christ I live
And exercised in things Divine,
My senses all His love receive,
I see the King in beauty shine;
Fairer than all the sons of men,
Thrice happy in His love I reign,
Thrice happy in His love I reign.

He love is manna to my taste,
His love is music to my ear;
I feel His love, and hold Him fast
In ecstasies too strong to bear:
I smell the odour of His name
And all wrapped up in love I am,
And all wrapped up in love I am.

O that the world might taste, and see
How good the Lord my Saviour is!
Take, Jesu, take Thy love from me,
So they may share the glorious bliss;
Thy love if we awhile should part,
Would soon flow back into my heart,
Would soon flow back into my heart.

O might I feel the utmost power
Of love, and into nothing fall!
Infinite Love, bring near the hour,
Infinite God, be all in all;
Cover the earth, Thy boundless Sea,
And swallow up our souls in Thee,
And swallow up our souls in Thee.

(NKJV) John 6: 1 - 12
After these things Jesus went over the Sea of Galilee, which is [the Sea] of Tiberias. Then a great multitude followed Him, because they saw His signs which He performed on those who were diseased. And Jesus went up on the mountain, and there He sat with His disciples. Now the Passover, a feast of the Jews, was near. Then Jesus lifted up His eyes, and seeing a great multitude coming toward Him, He said to Philip, "Where shall we buy bread, that these may eat?" [b]But this He said to [u]test[/u] him, for He Himself knew what He would do[/b]. Philip answered Him, "Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may have a little."

One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to Him, "There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two small fish, but what are they among so many?" Then Jesus said, "Make the people sit down." Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

And Jesus took the loaves, and when He had given thanks He distributed them to the disciples, and the disciples to those sitting down; and likewise of the fish, as much as they wanted. So when they were filled, He said to His disciples, "Gather up the fragments that remain, so that nothing is lost."

... His readiness to help, to heal and to protect.



We have heard the joyful sound: (Jesus saves!) Jesus saves!
Spread the tidings all around: (Jesus saves!) Jesus saves!
Bear the news to every land, climb the mountains, cross the waves;
Onward! ’tis our Lord’s command; (Jesus saves!) Jesus saves!

Waft it on the rolling tide: (Jesus saves!) Jesus saves!
Tell to sinners far and wide: (Jesus saves!) Jesus saves!
Sing, you islands of the sea; echo back, you ocean caves;
Earth shall keep her jubilee: (Jesus saves!) Jesus saves!

Sing above the battle strife: (Jesus saves!) Jesus saves!
By His death and endless life (Jesus saves!) Jesus saves!
Shout it brightly through the gloom, when the heart for mercy craves;
Sing in triumph o’er the tomb: (Jesus saves!) Jesus saves!

Give the winds a mighty voice: (Jesus saves!) Jesus saves!
Let the nations now rejoice: (Jesus saves!) Jesus saves!
Shout salvation full and free; highest hills and deepest caves;
This our song of victory: (Jesus saves!) Jesus saves!

(NKJV) John 7:1, 2, 11 - 18
After these things Jesus walked in Galilee; for He did not want to walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill Him.

Now the Jews' Feast of Tabernacles was at hand....... 11 Then the Jews sought Him at the feast, and said, "Where is He?" And there was much complaining among the people concerning Him. Some said, "He is good"; others said, "No, on the contrary, He deceives the people." However, no one spoke openly of Him for fear of the Jews.

Now about the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple and taught. And the Jews marveled, saying, "How does this Man know letters, having never studied?" Jesus answered them and said, "My doctrine is not Mine, but His who sent Me. If anyone wants to do His will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is from God or I speak on My own authority. He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is true, and no unrighteousness is in Him."

... peace in my mind, and continuing to establish me on new ground.


Walk in the light: so shalt thou know
That fellowship of love
His Spirit only can bestow
Who reigns in light above.

Walk in the light: and sin abhorred
Shall ne’er defile again;
The blood of Jesus Christ thy Lord
Shall cleanse from every stain.

Walk in the light: and thou shalt find
Thy heart made truly His
Who dwells in cloudless light enshrined
In Whom no darkness is.

Walk in the light: and thou shalt own
Thy darkness passed away,
Because that light hath on thee shone
In which is perfect day.

Walk in the light: and e’en the tomb
No fearful shade shall wear;
Glory shall chase away its gloom,
For Christ has conquered there.

Walk in the light: and thine shall be
A path, though thorny, bright;
For God, by grace, shall dwell in thee,
And God Himself is light.

"Did not Moses give you the law, yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill Me?" The people answered and said, "You have a demon. Who is seeking to kill You?"

Jesus answered and said to them, "I did one work, and you all marvel. Moses therefore gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath. If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath, so that the law of Moses should not be broken, [b]are you angry with Me because I made a man completely well on the Sabbath?[/b] [u]Do not judge according to appearance[/u], [b]but judge with righteous judgment[/b]."

How sweet the Name of Jesus sounds
In a believer’s ear!
It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds,
And drives away his fear.

It makes the wounded spirit whole,
And calms the troubled breast;
’Tis manna to the hungry soul,
And to the weary, rest.


Dear Name, the Rock on which I build,
My Shield and Hiding Place,
My never failing treasury, filled
With boundless stores of grace!

Jesus! my Shepherd, Husband, Friend,
My Prophet, Priest and King,
My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End,
Accept the praise I bring.


Weak is the effort of my heart,
And cold my warmest thought;
But when I see Thee as Thou art,
I’ll praise Thee as I ought.

Till then I would Thy love proclaim
With every fleeting breath,
And may the music of Thy Name
Refresh my soul in death!

(NKJV) John 7:37 -
On the last day, that great [day] of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, "If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water." But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

Therefore many from the crowd, when they heard this saying, said, [b]"Truly this is the Prophet."[/b] Others said, [b]"This is the Christ."[/b] But some said, "Will the Christ come out of Galilee? Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the seed of David and from the town of Bethlehem, where David was?" So there was a division among the people because of Him. Now some of them wanted to take Him, but no one laid hands on Him.

Then the officers came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, "Why have you not brought Him?" The officers answered, [b]"No man ever spoke like this Man!"[/b]

The enemey is attacking in all sorts of ways because we are seeing awesome powerful meetings at church!! People are getting saved.
We had a leader in our church who was a decon at a baptist church just confessed he wasnt really saved. PRAISE GOD! HE GOT SAVED!!
The church is exploding in numbers as well...Theres a deep hunger for God. Prayer meetings are growing...just a sense of urgency. We just sent out our first missionary to Africa. God is moving!! PRAISE HIM!!
