Its Not Then, Its Now

It’s not then, it’s Now
It’s not when, it’s how
We live our lives each and every day…
We glorify Jesus by what we do and say
It’s not then, it’s now…
We live and move and breathe
It’s Jesus who set us free…
Stop looking for a place, or, a time in the future, for your WOW!
It’s the living God in us that teaches, faith is Now…
We cry and beg and plead and hope; broken and diseased and grope
For just a little peace-of-mind and love-divine but it’s only found in one place and one kind
The first fruit of the resurrection where Jesus said, Because I live, you live, child, you are now mine…
Live now, not then, for He’s given us His Holy Ghost,
He dwells in these bodies he made of clay
Stop looking for the pie-in-the-sky and live, today!
Knowing, our hope, our future, our life, is here and now; abide in His presence
That is how…
We overcome and defeat our foe
His joy is our strength, right now, here below…
Now, this very moment in time…we are whole, we are His masterpiece, be bold…
It’s not down the road, it’s not when we’re dead and gone…
Right now, His grace is…sufficient…for this day, you are called and chosen…you are royalty
Stop living in defeat…and fear…take this moment and know…YOU ARE FREE of all anxiety
All doubt all wanderings…all abuse…all shame…You are complete in Jesus Name…
You don’t have to wait until you get to heaven to live the God-life
The God-life is here and Now…
For who the son sets FREE IS FREE INDEED!!
Set your feet to dancing…raise your song in praise…
So, lift up your head weary child of God and reap the harvest of God’s love, His provision, His blessing is right now!
The Kingdom of God is within you!

Hebrews 11:1-2 The Message (MSG) Faith in What We Don’t See ~ The fundamental fact of existence is that this trust in God, this faith, is the firm foundation under everything that makes life worth living. It’s our handle on what we can’t see. The act of faith is what distinguished our ancestors, set them above the crowd.

Luke 17:20-21 King James Version (KJV) And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:

Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
