Take my Life and Let it Be

Take my life and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to thee:
Take my hands and let them move,

At the impulse of they Love
Take my feet and let them be
Take my voice and let me sing,
Always, only for my king.

Take my lips and let them be
Filled with messages from thee;
Take my silver and my gold,
Not a mite would I withhold

Take my moments and my days
Let them flow in endless praise;
Take my intellect and use
every power as thou shalt choose

Take my will and make it thine
It shall be no longer mine;
Take my heart, it is thine own,
It shall be thy royal throne.

Take my love, my God, I pour
At they feet its treasured store,
Take myself, and I will be
Ever, only, all for thee.

I don’t want to weary anyone by assisting this topic to resurface, but to issue a warning that this is mostly Premill / Dispensational doctrine concocted from obscure passages from Rev 20 & Daniel. (I know you mean well Billy.)

The clear teaching by Jesus and New testament writers is this. ( please search the phrases in caps) The time between Christ’s two comings is called THE LAST DAYS. THIS AGE (evil, temporal) will end on THE LAST DAY. We will ALL be resurrected and judged ( parables of the dragnet, the wheat and weeds, the sheep and the goats) Then THE AGE TO COME.

Blessings to each of you through Christ. I'm going to keep working on the verse below instead. I will leave the end time stuff to you all:) And whoever is praying for me thank you, I honestly feel the prayers:)

"Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship." Romans 12:1

I am glad William that you are going to leave eschatology to those who daily imagine they know its meaning. Jade tried to press you into that direction and I rebuked her. So now you can see that the serpents gather about the horses heals and they do it so that they can un seat the rider. Their desire is to keep God's house from repentance because they cannot repent and they have been fools in their own homes. Else they speak in a mind of arrogance of the failures of others houses else they daily look to their own reasonable wisdom when they fein every pretence of Godliness so that they can walk in a parade.

You will do well brother to remain in that which you have spoken here and let the Lord deal with the serpents that bite.

So once again brother Joch,

When you were formed in your mother's womb the Lord knew you. He gave you your mind of reason and it is your mind. It is not a possession of the devil. It is a gift of God to you and it is yours. God also called you to believe in His Son and through repentance to receive His life in Christ and to become a child of God. That choosing Christ when we are in a true conviction of sin - gives us the power to become the children of God.

Let God determine your course because He knew all of it before your father and mother even smiled upon each other and fell in love and out of their love for each other you were conceived in your mother’s womb. Let God direct your course and in rather the same way you were not able to choose your own father and mother, neither can you choose what obedience to God means according to God.

The course of God first means the soft hewn timber of the cross which we can easily see because upon that cross we see Christ by faith and we can see that He bore our sins and He shed His blood for our sins to take away the legal charge against our forefather, Adam, when he disobeyed God knowingly and wilfully.

Obedience also means to lay hold of the cross and to see that its acceptable face and mercy in Christ crucified for sin, also has a rough-hewn timber also. That rough-hewn timber is the part that we fear to lay hold of if we are in our natural minds because it speaks of the cross unto death. In all, it speaks of an end to our own lives. Until we see that, we will never understand how to cry out to God in a cry of great hope that we can serve Him even unto death, seeing that we also now know that Christ died for us, and to hear what He asks of us when He speaks ‘do you love Me?' and only then receive back to ourselves our wife, our children and our right mind of obedience.

Hi William,

Beautiful hymn by Francis Ridley Havergal.

This hymn complements it:

LET HIM HAVE HIS WAY WITH THEE

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67WPHRKoDmQ

LYRICS:

Would you live for Jesus, and be always pure and good?
Would you walk with Him within the narrow road?
Would you have Him bear your burden, carry all your load?
Let Him have His way with thee.

Refrain:
His pow’r can make you what you ought to be;
His blood can cleanse your heart and make you free;
His love can fill your soul, and you will see
’Twas best for Him to have His way with thee.

Would you have Him make you free, and follow at His call?
Would you know the peace that comes by giving all?
Would you have Him save you, so that you need never fall?
Let Him have His way with thee.

Would you in His kingdom find a place of constant rest?
Would you prove Him true in providential test?
Would you in His service labor always at your best?
Let Him have His way with thee.

Author: Cyrus S. Nusbaum, 1898

Song of Songs 2:4 ”“
He has brought me to his banquet hall,
And his banner over me is love.

Ps. 23:6 ”“
Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life,
And I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

Therefore,

Ps. 42:1 ”“
As the deer pants for the water brooks,
So pants my soul for You, O God.
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.

Blessings

Rhuomai-

How does your response to JB pertain to what he wrote? And you wonder why folks are frustrated by your posts.

Maybe you should stop being so obtuse and come out and say what you mean.

Because what you said below only comes across as extremely condescending.

jochbaptist Oct 20, 2020

Well Bro William, that's good. Keep working on the verse.

Just know there is a world of difference between believing that one day we will rule and reign with Jesus for a 1000 literal years, and believing that we are ruling and reigning with Him now.

Be blessed

Hi Todd

I appreciate you backing me up. (a couple of times now)

Brother Rhuomai is referring to a previous discussion between us.

I am not frustrated by his posts. I am somehow encouraged and challenged by them.

Just like with You and Savannah, for example, I appreciate each one's uniqueness and ignore what irritates (for lack of a better word) me.

Bless you Bro

Hehehe, stop, stop please

You call a sister here a biting snake that is beyond repentance? What will you do when you meet her in heaven?
Would you like to be described the way you described our sister here?

Just asking..

Where are the moderators when we need them ?
Greg, how much more ungodly does it need to get before you step in ?

It would be such a wonderful song to discuss.
Thank you William and Jade for the words

It seems unlikely that you would find the words both reprehensible and a source of humour.

Why do you display such contradictions?

Markus

The OP was not about a song it was about another matter and was changed by the poster to what it is now.

Perhaps you should read around a little and find what has happened. Your measure of ungodliness is shaped by another who finds my words both ungodly and amusing. Your comment is no less false. The last time we spoke you told me using Ü¡Ü«ÜšÜ was offensive. Then you removed the comment when I explained myself. You told me that when in Rome I should do as the Romans do - so when on an English language website I should use English. (At least in brackets to explain another language).

Now you fabricate a false indignation to raise a rod to your aid. Why is that Markus?

deogloria I'm grateful you enjoyed them! Christ is wonderful and amazing! So far above our highest thoughts of Him. My we take time just to praise and worship Him. Being thankful Father had Him come to cleanse us with His precious blood, and kill our old man on that cross so long ago. Worthy is the lamb that was slain. Worthy of our praise and worthy of our unity worthy of our continuous thoughts, and worthy of us humbling ourselves and considering our brethren more important then ourselves. Praise, praise all to Jesus!

Brethren,

Let us remind ourselves that though we can personally acknoweldge each other on the forums here, there is zero tolerance to speak down towards anyone or start accusing in any manner. Love has to be the guiding principle of our interactions in the forum. Humility towards each other. Thinking the best of others, praying for others.

5. SPEAKING WITH GENTLENESS - Having mercy, gentleness, and meekness in our posts on the forums is not only good it is needful. Especially when there is not a face to face conversation one cannot understand a person's tone well so be extra careful to show forth your tone to people in the posts and try to ensure you are not accusing, or speaking angrily against another but adding positive affirmations and kindness into your posts. This will help to not give the devil any opportunity to bring division (Ephesians 4:27). For division, backbiting and sectarianism is carnality and we are not walking in the Spirit when doing so (Jude 1:19).

Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel. Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward. I have waited for thy salvation, O Lord. Genesis 49:16-18

Let those who believe that they are wise - rather become fools. And let those who are fools speak out loudly lest the truth be hidden.
