2-15-12 A day to go down in history

Remember this night CLIMB. Wherever you were, whatever you were doing, remember this night. Tonight, the night after USA celebrates infatuation and calls it love, we celebrated reconciliation and called it the Church. And that is what we are.

“This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.” 1 John 4:10 NLT

" And all of this is a gift from God, who brought us back to himself through Christ. And God has given us this task of reconciling people to him. 19 For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation. 20 So we are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, “Come back to God!” 21 For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin,[e] so that we could be made right with God through Christ. 2 Cor 5:18-21

Exodus 12:14
“This is a day to remember. Each year, from generation to generation, you must celebrate it as a special festival to the LORD. This is a law for all time.

Matthew 25:23
“The master said, ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in handling this small amount, so now I will give you many more responsibilities. Let’s celebrate together!’

Luke 15:32
We had to celebrate this happy day. For your brother was dead and has come back to life! He was lost, but now he is found!’”

 Tonight we claim victory. Over dissension. over pride. over lust. over addictions. over insecurities. over backsliding. over sin. over disappointments. over sickness. Over loneliness.  over gossip. over hate. over anger. over envy. over anything that once held us down in the past, we are more than conquerors thru Jesus Christ (Romans 8:37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.)

Song that has been on repeat today:

"Breathin to Death" by Lacrae

It's like I'm tired of life/ Lord i'm wrong why I cant
get right/ And when it's dark why I cant get light/
eh why it cant be light it's so heavy why my sin won't
let me see the end/ come get me/ please come get me/
my thoughts my mind/ my ways all evil/ I'm sposed to
be your people I'm sposed to see your sequel/ I said
I'll never leave you/ But I'm so left i aint right
Lord I'm sleeping with death/man,
I am cheating with death/ am I deaf Its like I don't
hear you/ I say that I'm a Christian but it's like
I don't fear you/ I'm on a selfish island and i am
no where near you/ God i really need you even tho I
don't appear to/ I'm drinking out a broken cistern
that could never hold water and I'm gonna get burned/
tho I try i never satisfy or quench this yearn/ I hear
you calling but it's like a fight for me to just turn/Lord
I deserve to burn

Hook: Repeat 2x
Help me Lord before there's no time left
I ain't living I'm just breathing to death (echo)
Your ways are perfect and they lead me to rest
Mine are evil and they lead me to death

I'm fellin' skitzophrenic / maybe I ain't saved cause
i gotta get high just to block out all the pain/ seen
death, seen hurt seen a whole lotta thangs/ instead
of running from it I'm running away from change/ it's
like I'm outside in the ice cold weather/the rains
coming down and I keep getting wetter/ I know I'm getting
sick and I could die any second/ but still I refuse
to let your truths make me better/ I'd rather eat flies
and maggots instead of bread/ and its killing me slow
but i cant get it through my head/ you were stabbed
you were murdered/ and for me is why you bled/ but
I spit on your bloody face as If i never cared/ And
Lord how dare i compare my pain/ your father turned
his back/ and you were left to hang/ I don't know why
you did it that I cant explain/ how can you love this
sinner whose desecrated your name/Lord I deserve the flames

Hook: 2x

I know I tell lies/ I know I do dirt/ Apart from you
I'm nothing but you can give me worth/ I don't know
if I know you/ But still I know I should/ I know the
days are evil and only you are Good/ I've come to this
conclusion I would like to change cause all the worlds
money and fame cannot sustain/ I know that i should
turn but thats the hardest thang/ cause do I really
feel that havin' Jesus is my gain/ the world is so
tempting/ Satan is a beast/ he hypnotizes my eyes to
say the least/ But Jesus be my treasure to know you
is live/ and I am here dying trying everything there
is/ All I need here is you/ help me turn away from
sin/ Lord give me grace to turn away and the fear not
to give in/ I know that I'm not perfect but if I could
rest in Him/ I know i don't deserve it but still I'll
take your hand/Lord let me take your hand
