You Said Ask

"You Said"
Hillsongs

You said
Ask and you will receive
Whatever you need
You said
Pray and I'll hear from heaven
And I'll heal your land

You said
Your glory will fill the earth
Like water the sea
You said
Lift up your eyes
The harvest is here,
The kingdom is near

You said
Ask and I'll give the nations to you
O Lord, that's the cry of my heart
Distant shores and the islands will see
Your light, as it rises on us

O Lord, I ask for the nations...

I remember the first time I heard this song... and wow... it's still one of those few songs that speaks directly to my core when I hear it. So when God says to us to remember what He has said, what He has done, and to give thanks for it because it is His will in Christ for us (1 Thes. 5:18)... that's got to be for His greater will, because it essentially moves us me out of the picture.

It's no wonder that I do not bear fruit: I do not remember, and I do not understand truly that no good can come from me (Isa. 64:6) The measure of my success is the measure of my surrender.

Heb. 11:6
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

REMEMBER: Sanctification is the same as salvation: it is of the Lord... I just need to seek Him, to listen when He calls.
