It\u2019s not then, it\u2019s Now
\nIt\u2019s not when, it\u2019s how
\nWe live our lives each and every day\u2026
\nWe glorify Jesus by what we do and say
\nIt\u2019s not then, it\u2019s now\u2026
\nWe live and move and breathe
\nIt\u2019s Jesus who set us free\u2026
\nStop looking for a place, or, a time in the future, for your WOW!
\nIt\u2019s the living God in us that teaches, faith is Now\u2026
\nWe cry and beg and plead and hope; broken and diseased and grope
\nFor just a little peace-of-mind and love-divine but it\u2019s only found in one place and one kind
\nThe first fruit of the resurrection where Jesus said, Because I live, you live, child, you are now mine\u2026
\nLive now, not then, for He\u2019s given us His Holy Ghost,
\nHe dwells in these bodies he made of clay
\nStop looking for the pie-in-the-sky and live, today!
\nKnowing, our hope, our future, our life, is here and now; abide in His presence
\nThat is how\u2026
\nWe overcome and defeat our foe
\nHis joy is our strength, right now, here below\u2026
\nNow, this very moment in time\u2026we are whole, we are His masterpiece, be bold\u2026
\nIt\u2019s not down the road, it\u2019s not when we\u2019re dead and gone\u2026
\nRight now, His grace is\u2026sufficient\u2026for this day, you are called and chosen\u2026you are royalty
\nStop living in defeat\u2026and fear\u2026take this moment and know\u2026YOU ARE FREE of all anxiety
\nAll doubt all wanderings\u2026all abuse\u2026all shame\u2026You are complete in Jesus Name\u2026
\nYou don\u2019t have to wait until you get to heaven to live the God-life
\nThe God-life is here and Now\u2026
\nFor who the son sets FREE IS FREE INDEED!!
\nSet your feet to dancing\u2026raise your song in praise\u2026
\nSo, lift up your head weary child of God and reap the harvest of God\u2019s love, His provision, His blessing is right now!
\nThe Kingdom of God is within you!<\/p>\n

Hebrews 11:1-2 The Message (MSG)\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>Faith in What We Don\u2019t See ~ <\/em><\/strong>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\u2019s our handle on what we can\u2019t see. The act of faith is what distinguished our ancestors, set them above the crowd.<\/em><\/p>\n

Luke 17:20-21 King James Version (KJV)\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>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:<\/em><\/p>\n

Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
