Psalm 22:28
1 We have heard the joyful sound:
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Spread the tidings all around:
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Bear the news to ev’ry land,
Climb the steeps and cross the waves;
Onward! ’tis our Lord’s command;
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
2 Waft it on the rolling tide:
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Tell to sinners far and wide:
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Sing, ye islands of the sea;
Echo back, ye ocean caves;
Earth shall keep her jubilee:
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
3 Sing above the battle strife:
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
By His death and endless life:
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Sing it softly through the gloom,
When the heart for mercy craves;
Sing in triumph o’er the tomb:
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
4 Give the winds a mighty voice:
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Let the nations now rejoice:
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Shout salvation full and free,
Highest hills and deepest caves;
This our song of victory:
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
In the “Onward!” attitude highlighted above, Targeted Global Prayer is back. Thank you for understanding as I took a break for a few weeks to have extra time in seeking God with my husband. The Lord has led him to accept an invitation to the pastorate of Open Bible Baptist Church in Cambridge, New York. Our family is in the process of relocating there as soon as possible.
I had considered continuing to pause TGP until the transition to OBBC was complete, but have decided to restart now in a scaled back fashion. As you know, normally each post includes a picture and background information in addition to the three prayer requests. To give more time to tasks related to our move, for the next couple months posts will consist of only the city name, prayer requests, and weekly Scripture reference.
Thank you for understanding, and thank you – as always – for praying! I pray for each of you to find joy and encouragement today in the words of the hymn above; Jesus really does still save and rescue, and we can live unapologetically under that banner of truth. Jesus Saves!
You can listen to and sing along with “Jesus Saves!”, written by Priscilla Owens, by following this link:
Immutability. Holiness. Chesed. Wisdom. Sovereignty. Omnipresence. Righteousness. Justice. Fatherhood. Joy. Omniscience. Love. Eternality. Omnipotence.
All of these attributes and many more are characteristics of our great God. No human study can ever fully grasp all that He is. While this series was originally planned to last the entire month of June, due to the need to focus personal prayer time on an in-person ministry opportunity, TGP will be taking a two week break. Thank you for praying through this mini-series with us!
Luke 1:37
“For with God nothing shall be impossible.”
Isaiah 40:25-26
“‘To whom then will you liken Me, or to whom shall I be equal?’ says the Holy One. Lift up your eyes on high, and see Who has created these things, Who brings out their host by number; He calls them all by name, by the greatness of His might and the strength of His power; not one is missing.”
God has both authority and power over everything. The focus of His omnipotence is the reality that He can do anything He wants to do. He is limited by no one and nothing. Psalm 104 beautifully describes His power using many examples from creation. In the New Testament, the Incarnate Son continues to demonstrate all-encompassing power; indeed, all things are literally held together by Him. He is the Mighty God.
One of the ways the kindness of our God is seen is that He uses His power for our benefit. Psalm 107 illustrates this, calling us to praise Him for the coupling of omnipotence with goodness. Just three verses down from Isaiah’s words (see the above), we read that “He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength.” The God Who can do anything graciously lends His power to us. Let us – the inadequate but enabled – go forth today in His strength.
1. Pray for the omnipotent Lord to interject Himself into the life/thoughts of someone who will pick up mail from one of these PO boxes today.
2. Due to their role in being a stopping-off port in the exploration of the New World, the Canary Islands became an important link between Africa, Europe, North America, and South America. Pray for the One Who is omnipotent over all four of these continents to be honored as so in the life of an individual from each of these four continents who currently resides on Tenerife, the largest of the Canary Islands.
3. Los Cristianos (‘the Christians’) has a Spanish Catholic background. Interestingly, the city is now the headquarters for the Islamic Federation of the Canary Islands. Pray for two families, one steeped in each of these religions, to be reached with the gospel of the God Who is so powerful that He can even facilitate change in long-held belief systems.
