Who is HE and Who are YOU?

Nearly two years ago I felt led to do a Bible Study in my home for mom's with young children.  We home school and so I was a little leery about adding something to our schedule, but still felt strongly this was something that God was asking me to do, for Him.   In an effort to keep things balanced, I choose to do the study every other Friday morning.  Children were welcome and my elementary and middle school aged children helped keep toddlers and other kids occupied while babies played at mama's feet. 

The study we did was Anointed, Transformed, Redeemed by Priscilla Shirer, Beth Moore and Kay Arthur. Only a few mom's showed up at the time but I know God used that time and this study to bless each of us and help each of us to grow closer to Him.  Since then I have had the opportunity to share the resources and walk with others in the study.  It has been such a blessing to be a part of their journey and to be reminded again and again of the material.  

In the first session Priscilla talks about the anointing of God that David had in his life.  She shared how all of us who believe and trust in the Lord have the Holy Spirit, with the power of God, residing in us.  Through the Holy Spirit we are empowered to do His will in our lives and to stand against the enemy. 

At one point Priscilla goes on a long and powerful exposition of who God is and who we are as a child of His.  I loved it and want to have this printed and posted in my home as a frequent reminder.  He is the one deserving of all my praise and the one constant who can help me me in all situations. Below is a lengthy quote from Priscilla so you too may be reminded of Who He is and Whose you are!

May you be blessed and encouraged in the Lord as you read this.

He Is..
The First and the Last
The Beginning and the end
The keeper of creation
The creator of all
He
s the architect of the universe
And the manager of all time

He always was, always is and always will be.
Unmoved, unchanged, undefeated and never undone

He was bruised but brought healing,
He was pierced but eased pain,
He was persecuted but brought freedom
He was dead and brings life
He is risen to bring power
And he reigns to bring peace

The world can
t understand Him
Armies can
t defeat Him
Schools can
t explain Him
And leaders they can
t ignore Him

Harold couldn
t kill Him
Nero couldn
t crush Him
The new age can not replace Him
And Oprah can not explain Him away

He IS Life,
HE IS Love,
HE IS Longevity and He IS The LORD
HE IS Goodness, kindness, faithfulness

And HE IS GOD
HE IS holy and righteous
and powerful and pure

His ways are right,
His word eternal
His will unchanging
And His mind is on us

He is our savior, our guide,
Our peace, our joy, our comfort
Our Lord and He rules our lives,

I serve Him because His bond is love
His yoke is easy His burden is light
And His goal for us is abundant life.

I follow Him because,
He Is the wisdom of the wise
The power of the powerful
The ancient of days, the ruler of rulers,
The leader of all leaders,
His goal is a relationship with me

He will never leave you, never forsake you
Never mislead you, never forget you,
Never overlook you and
Never cancel your appointment is His appointment book.

When you fall He
ll lift you up,
When you fail He will forgive you.
When you’re weak He
s strong,
When you’re lost He
s your way
When you’re afraid He is your courage,
When you stumble He will steady you,
When you’re hurt He Is going to heal you,
When you’re broken He will mend you,
When you’re blind He will lead you,
When you’re hungry He will feed you,
When you face trials He Is with you,
When I face persecution He shields me,
When I face problems He will comfort me,
When I face loss He will provide for me,

And when we face death
He will carry us all home to meet Him.

He is everything for everybody,
everywhere ,every time,
And in every way.

He is your God

and that sister
s is who you belong to.
