If the devil can't kill you
He will try to make you insane
He will lie to you about who you really are
He will harass you and vex your soul
He will whisper fearful things in your ear
He will make what is small seem big and what is big seem small
He will raise dark suspicion within your soul, causing you to draw back in worry
He will hiss that you are unlovable and unworthy
He will argue on behalf of your flesh that you deserve better than this
He will tempt you to seek relief in cisterns of emptiness and futility
Most of all, he will try to cast a spell to make you forget that you are truly prince of princess of God Almighty
The devil seeks to drive you into exile of loneliness and despair
RESIST HIM in the name of the Lord!
When He broke the second seal
I heard the second living creature saying
“Come! And another, a red horse, went out; and to him who sat on it, it was granted to take peace from the earth, and that men would slay one another; and a great sword was given to him.

I am sending you out like sheep among wolves
Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves
Be on your guard; you will be handed over to the local councils and be flogged in the synagogues
On my account you will be brought before governors and kings as witnesses to them and to the Gentile
But, when they arrest you, do not worry about what to say or how to say it
At that time you will be given what to say
For it will not be you speaking
But the Spirit of your Father speaking through you
Dzisiaj w Betlejem, dzisiaj w Betlejem
wesoła nowina,
że Panna czysta, że Panna czysta
porodziła Syna.
Chrystus się rodzi,
nas oswobodzi,
Anieli grają,
króle witają,
pasterze śpiewają,
bydlęta klękają,
cuda, cuda ogłaszają. X2
Maryja Panna, Maryja Panna
Dzieciątko piastuje,
i Józef Święty, i Józef Święty
Ono pielęgnuje.
Chrystus się rodzi,
nas oswobodzi,
Anieli grają,
króle witają,
pasterze śpiewają,
bydlęta klękają,
cuda, cuda ogłaszają.x2
Choć w stajeneczce, choć w stajeneczce
Panna syna rodzi
Przecież On wkrótce, przecież On wkrótce
ludzi oswobodzi
Chrystus się rodzi,
nas oswobodzi,
Anieli grają,
króle witają,
pasterze śpiewają,
bydlęta klękają,
cuda, cuda ogłaszają.x2
I Trzej Królowie, i Trzej Królowie
od wschodu przybyli
I dary Panu, i dary Panu
kosztowne złożyli
Chrystus się rodzi,
nas oswobodzi,
Anieli grają,
króle witają,
pasterze śpiewają,
bydlęta klękają,
cuda, cuda ogłaszają.x2
5. Pójdźmy też i my, pójdźmy też i my
przywitać Jezusa
Króla nad królami, Króla nad królami
uwielbić Chrystusa
Chrystus się rodzi,
nas oswobodzi,
Anieli grają,
króle witają,
pasterze śpiewają,
bydlęta klękają,
cuda, cuda ogłaszają.x2
The Blood of Messiah ransoms our souls from death
Bring us near to the divine presence and cleanses us from all sin
The voice of his blood cries out on our behalf
And His life was given in exchange for ours
Life is in the blood
The blood of the sacrifice was given in exchange for the life of worshippers
Come now and ransom with the Lord
Though your sins are as scarlet
They shall be as white as snow
Almighty God
The Presence of Love
The Heart of God
Clothed himself in human flesh and bone to become Immanuel "one with us"
So that we could be touched by Him
Healed by Him
And forever saved by Him...
Therefore let's join the refrain of heavenly host
"Glory to God in the highest, and upon earth peace, among men - good will."
As the deer pants for streams of water
So my soul pants for you, my God
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God
When can I go and meet with God?
My tears have been my food
Day and night
While people say to me all day long
“Where is your God?”
These things I remember
As I pour out my soul
How I used to go to the house of God
Under the protection of the Mighty One
With shouts of joy and praise
Among the festive throng.
Why, my soul, are you downcast?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
For I will yet praise him,
My Savior and my God.
Brokenness distills the intentions of the heart by helping us to be more honest with ourselves
We begin to realize that we are more vulnerable than at first we thought
That our faith is not as strong as we imagined
And that our motives are often mixed and unconscious
Illusions are striped away
Idols crumble
Deeper levels of selfishness are uncovered
The gap between our words and our deeds is exposed...
It is one thing
After all
To intellectually think about faith or to idealize spirituality
But it is quite another to walk out faith in darkness
Yet it is only there
In the rawness of heart
That we discover what we really believe
And how our faith makes traction with reality...
