With my whole heart, Lord, I want to worship You So easily I stray, doing what I want to do Holy Spirit, draw me close, so I can follow where You lead Glory rays descending-to meet my deepest need The brightness of Your Presence is hidden from my eye As I step out from the shadows, a Godly path I spy Walking in the light, is now the way I choose Your forgiveness of my sins, refreshes and renews Fill me with Your love, so I can give You more As I open up my heart to worship and adore You alone are worthy, of all of my praise As I seek to follow You all my earthly days Debbie Furey July 26, 2019 1 John 2:17 – “The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.” 1 John 1:5-10 1 John 2:1-11

Convergence
The aligning of God’s plans converging with the times Each dancing to a tune–an orchestration so sublime A convergence on a grand scale beyond the thoughts of men Eternal fates decided–the likes not seen again These plans can be delayed when disobedience rules our hearts When we choose our own way, our guidance then departs Left then on our own we have a choice to make Will we choose the cross and all our sins forsake? God’s plans are moving forward, don’t be left behind The converging of God’s kingdom to dwell with all mankind A sifting comes beforehand to separate the tares from wheat The choice is ours to make–hellfire or mercy seat?

Reporting for Duty
On this day of all days, martyrs are dying for the Lord Some think it’s an honor to cut their heads off with a sword Things go on as normal half the world away Not knowing there is a war-it seems like just another day How can the same sun look down in horror and delight?

The call is going out, “Go to your battle station” It sounds from every quarter, media and location Make sure you have your armor on and weapons prepared for war The Spirit is directing us to run toward the roar God’s army is amassing, arrayed with heavenly beauty Answering the call put out and reporting for their duty Mighty battalions marching, with love and truth as their shield Capturing from the enemy the Lord’s harvest field Debbie Furey June 19, 2020 Psalm 11:3 – “When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do?” Luke 10:1-24 John 4:34-38

Dying to Self
Me: Faithful, so faithful, You always are to me Teaching me patiently how to be holy Explaining Your covenant written in Your blood When evil tempts in an overwhelming flood Lord: I am standing near waiting to help in time of need In every trial, I want you to succeed A victor’s crown waits for those who win the race I am for you, not against you, showering you with grace For the joy set before Me I endured the cross When dying to self, you will suffer much loss A victory awaits you on the other side A place beside Me, where forever you’ll abide Debbie Furey May 2, 2023 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 – “Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize?

Glory in Your Weaknesses
Walking in My power has great potential to corrupt Leading others to yourself has the power to disrupt Being used by Me is not My endorsement of you You invite delusion if you think that this is true The words that I give you will have prophecy’s design Your interpretation of My Word is not always Mine My Holy Spirit will only testify of Me Glory more in your weaknesses than in your ability Don’t take pride in your position or your heavenly power Lest you turn your eyes from Me in victory’s final hour Be clothed in humility so I can send My grace Those who walk in pride will surely fall into disgrace Debbie Furey May 14, 2023 1 Corinthians 1:27-29 – “But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 28 God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, 29 so that no one may boast before him.” 1 Corinthians 2:3-5 – “I came to you in weakness with great fear and trembling. 4 My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, 5 so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God’s power.” 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 – “But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 10 That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” 1 Corinthians 1, 2

A scroll of remembrance was written in his presence concerning those who feared the LORD and honored his name. 17 “On the day when I act,” says the LORD Almighty, “they will be my treasured possession. I will spare them, just as a father has compassion and spares his son who serves him. 18 And you will again see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between those who serve God and those who do not.” Hebrews 10:19-25 Romans 8:28-39 Mark 12:28-34
