How Do You See ( Fenny West)
How Do You See
https://youtu.be/hqHlIRZnF38
What we take for granted
Is longed for by many.
O that we would be grateful,
Count all our blessings,
Name them one by one,
Give glory to the Holy One,
For His love, goodness and kindness.
When you see through the eyes of God,
You will be greeted with such joy, awe,
Dumbfounded, exhilarated and elated.
Lord, help me to see through Your eyes.
Exude Joy, Eschew Anger (by Fenny West)
Exude Joy, Eschew Anger
Exude Joy, Eschew Anger
Joy lifts, anger destroys.
Embrace joy unspeakable
Dispel anger and its danger.
Draw from the well of joy-
The joy of the Spirit within
Let His presence exude joy
And ward off wrath and its wiles.
Sing for joy, sing praises
Give thanks with a dance.
Name your blessings one by one
And give glory and honour.
for the joy of the LORD is your strength.” Neh8:10
Now the Day is Far Spent ( by Fenny West)
Now the Day Is Far Spent
Now the day is far spent, Lord
Night is creeping upon us.
Soon we’ll see the Day of the Lord,
Coming, rushing upon us.
O that we would see the rainbow
On the cloud, a sign to us.
Faithful God, who keeps His promise
Coming even as He said.
May we work while it is day, Lord
In the night no man can work.
Always doing what You say, Lord.
Standing always on the Rock.
O That we would see the good field.
Vast and plenteous with harvest.
That we would join hand to hand,
Reaping precious souls for God.
Now we’ll raise the banner of praise,
For You Lord, Who’s the Most High
Regardless of what the world says
With our eyes, we kiss Your eyes.
We bow down, O Holy Spirit.
Work in us to work through us.
Rekindle the holy fire.
Here we come, Lord, here we come.
The Parallel and Paradox … ( by Fenny West)
The Parallel and Paradox of the Wooden Art
How incredible insightful and instructive!
The Wood artist sees what we do not see
And painstakingly uses his tool to chip off, cut out, carve out, garnish until the beautiful masterpiece emerges out of the wood to our amazement, admiration and wonder.
This is exactly what God sees in you and I. We may look useless on the outside but there is masterpiece waiting to find expression in us.
And as we yield to the Holy Spirit and the Word of God does His miracle of transformation by chipping off, carving out, garnishing, polishing until the masterpiece which was there, emerges for all to see, admire and glorify God for.
Today, yield to the Holy Spirit to work in you as to work through you. See yourself as a masterpiece awaiting manifestation. Yes, often the pruning can be painful, but see the joy ahead, like Jesus and submit yourself to the Master Crafts-Man Who knows your end from the beginning.
: For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of the sons of God. Ro8:19
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. Eph2:10
John15:1} I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. {15:2} Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every [branch] that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. {15:3} John15:1-3
1John{3:1} Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. {3:2} Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
How Loving and Caring (by Fenny West)
How Loving, How Caring!
“I heard Him say, “Go there and speak”
But I ran away, boarded a ship
Like the Titanic, I was bold.
I was wise in my way, in my eyes.
Unbeknown to me, I leaked and was weak.
I had betrayed myself, my soul sold.
And down I went, drowning
to a point of no return.
Then I remembered my fault
And cried out to Him.
In the depths I raised a hymn of praise,
I worshipped my Maker for His mercy,
His wisdom, power, sovereignty.
Like Paul and Silas, I was not silenced,
Even in the rain, pain and grave.
He was moved, quickly forgave
Commanded an earthquake
To wash me ashore.
And there I was,
Even with a pillow
Under my head.
How loving, how caring!

Let Him grow More ( by Fenny West)
Let Him
grow more
As you grow less
When you confess.
Let Him increase
Fill to the brim
As you decrease
Brimming with Him.
Bow down to Him
In all your dreams
Yield for a yield
Vast in the field.
Proverbs 15
33 The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom, And before honor is humility.
roverbs 18
12 Before destruction the heart of a man is haughty, And before honor is humility.
Proverbs 22
4 By humility and the fear of the LORD Are riches and honor and life.

Today, there is Melody ( by Fenny West)
Today, There is Melody
there is melody in my heart, today
(For my God)
What looked so impossible
The Lord made it possible.
(Today, today, there is melody in my heart, today.)
That which was a big trial
Has become a big triumph.
(Today, there is melody in my hear, today.)
He’s turned my opposition,
Into a big promotion.
That which was a big barrier,
Has become a big blessing.
With joy He has filled my heart
So I will praise Him from my heart.
Into my life He brought Praise
So today His praise I raise.
O give thanks unto the Lord
For His mercies forever endures.
He’s a faithful God,
Powerful God,
Merciful God,
I will trust Him.
O Give Thanks to the Lord ( by Fenny West)
O Give Thanks to the Lord
O give thanks to the Lord
We are not counted among the dead
He still gives us our daily bread
He guides us to His desired haven
He has promised us heaven
O give thanks to the Lord
He healed us of all our diseases
Made a way for us the crises
Shielded us from the scourge of the tongue
And turns for our good every wrong.
O give thanks to the Lord
Who forgives us all our sins
And lifts us from diabolical bins
Who crowns us with love
As those born from above
O give thanks to the Lord
Who made us His righteousness
Cleansing us from all unrighteousness
Granting us His loving-kindness
Covering all our nakedness
O give thanks to the Lord
Who ended our blindness
Helps us in all our weakness
Who leads us to green pastures
And holds in His hands our futures
O give thanks to the Lord
Who grants us compassion
And gives us protection
Who renews our youth like the eagle’s
Enables us to leap over hurdles.
O give thanks to the Lord
Who makes our crooked paths straight
And makes Himself our strength
Giving us a higher playing field
And becoming our Bulwark and Shield.
11 You crown the year with Your goodness,
And Your paths drip with abundance. Ps65:11
1 Bless the LORD, O my soul;
And all that is within me, bless His holy name!
2 Bless the LORD, O my soul,
And forget not all His benefits:
3 Who forgives all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases,
4 Who redeems your life from destruction,
Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,
5 Who satisfies your mouth with good things,
So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
Ps103:1-5
1 Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good!
For His mercy endures forever.
2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say so,
Whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy,
3 And gathered out of the lands,
From the east and from the west,
From the north and from the south.
Ps107:1-3
1 I will bless the LORD at all times;
His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2 My soul shall make its boast in the LORD;
The humble shall hear of it and be glad.
3 Oh, magnify the LORD with me,
And let us exalt His name together.
4 I sought the LORD, and He heard me,
And delivered me from all my fears.
5 They looked to Him and were radiant,
And their faces were not ashamed.
Ps34:1-5
1 Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good!
For His mercy endures forever.
2 Oh, give thanks to the God of gods!
For His mercy endures forever.
3 Oh, give thanks to the Lord of lords!
For His mercy endures forever:
4 To Him who alone does great wonders,
For His mercy endures forever;
5 To Him who by wisdom made the heavens,
For His mercy endures forever;
6 To Him who laid out the earth above the waters,
For His mercy endures forever;
7 To Him who made great lights,
For His mercy endures forever —
8 The sun to rule by day,
For His mercy endures forever;
9 The moon and stars to rule by night,
For His mercy endures forever.
Ps136:1-9
4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
And into His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.
5 For the LORD is good;
His mercy is everlasting,
And His truth endures to all generations.
Ps100:4-5
1 Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good!
For His mercy endures forever.
Ps118:1
Sad Saturday? No! ( by Fenny West)
Sad Saturday?
No, it was Good Friday, the day before. So it is Good Saturday.
It pleased the Father to bruise Him to reconcile man to God. Because of Good Friday, Jesus paved the way with His blood.
10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise Him;
He has put Him to grief.Isa53:10
When You make His soul an offering for sin,
He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days,
And the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in His hand.
11 He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied.
By His knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify many,
For He shall bear their iniquities.
We now have access to the Father.
We have been purchased with a great price.1Pet1:18-19
As many as received Him He gave the authority to be children of God.
We are now heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ. We have now been delivered from the powers of darkness. We have been translated from the kingdom of darkness and brought into the His marvellous light- the Kingdom of God. Heaven is now our home.( John1:12, John3:16, Col1:12-13,Rom8:1-2. Ro5:1,
20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ(Phil3:20)
What they thought was His demise was His advantage. He replicated Himself in us. He made us the light of the world; City on a hill, Salt of the earth. They now have to contend with many Christ-like people.
Those demon spirits who were in great glee: ‘We got Him, We got Him!’ had a rude awakening when the righteous demands of a just God were satisfied; when Jesus took His blood to the mercy seat and it was accepted.
Psalm 16:10-11 was fulfilled
10 For You will not leave my soul in Sheol,
Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption.
11 You will show me the path of life;
In Your presence is fullness of joy;
At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
They had crucified an innocent Man and spilled holy blood.
“You take Him and crucify Him, for I find no fault in Him.”John19:6
Because of ‘It is Finished!,’ the Father had to raise Jesus from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit. And Just as Jesus commanded Lazarus: ‘Lazarus come forth!’, the Father commanded, ‘Jesus, Come forth!’
And Jesus came forth!
He went to Hades to release captives; led captivity captive. He went to Hades and released all the saints Of old: Abraham, Isaac Jacob, the prophets etc etc and marched them out.
Jesus took the keys that the first Adam had given to Satan, disarmed principalities and powers and made a public spectacle of them. As He was going into Hades, there was a shout: 7 Lift up your heads, O you gates!
And be lifted up, you everlasting doors!
And the King of glory shall come in.
8 Who is this King of glory?
The LORD strong and mighty,
The LORD mighty in battle.
9 Lift up your heads, O you gates!
Lift up, you everlasting doors!
And the King of glory shall come in.
10 Who is this King of glory?
The LORD of hosts,
He is the King of glory. Sela
Jesus led a victory parade. He rose on the third day.
Yes, on the day of the resurrection, the sun rose and there was an earthquake and people who died came back to life.
51 Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split,52 and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;53 and coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many.Matt27:51-53
On Sunday, the first day of the week, as the sun rose, the Son rose. The stone was rolled away and Jesus came forth.
So Saturday was not a Sad Saturday after all because Good Friday had come and Sunday was on the horizon. Alleluia!
