Psalms 32

Snippet

To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you.” 

Scripture

What happiness for those whose guilt has been forgiven! What joys when sins are covered over! What relief for those who have confessed their sins and God has cleared their record.

There was a time when I wouldn’t admit what a sinner I was.[a] But my dishonesty made me miserable and filled my days with frustration. 4 All day and all night your hand was heavy on me. My strength evaporated like water on a sunny day 5 until I finally admitted all my sins to you and stopped trying to hide them. I said to myself, “I will confess them to the Lord.” And you forgave me! All my guilt is gone.

Now I say that each believer should confess his sins to God when he is aware of them, while there is time to be forgiven. Judgment will not touch him[b] if he does.
You are my hiding place from every storm of life; you even keep me from getting into trouble! You surround me with songs of victory. 8 I will instruct you (says the Lord) and guide you along the best pathway for your life; I will advise you and watch your progress. 9 Don’t be like a senseless horse or mule that has to have a bit in its mouth to keep it in line!

Many sorrows come to the wicked, but abiding love surrounds those who trust in the Lord. 11 So rejoice in him, all those who are his,[c] and shout for joy, all those who try to obey him.*
 Psalms 32 LVB

 Blessed is he Whose sins are forgiven
Blessed is he whose sins won’t be Remembered
When I walked away My bones dried up within me
I called to You in the draught of my shame and You saved me

When the waters are rising around me
You are the Rock that will hide me
You will surround me songs of hope
You have supplied All I have needed
You are the fount of every perfect gift In Your time
Blessed are those Who trust in Your holy word
You will sustain and guide them with Your eye
Your eye
When the waters are rising around me
You are the Rock that will hide me
You will surround me songs of hope
When all of my sins overtook me
You heard my cry and redeemed me
You will surround me with songs of hope
Songs of hope

Rejoice in the Lord
And sing to Him all you righteous
Rejoice in the Lord
Always, Always
Rejoice in the Lord
And sing to Him all you righteous
Rejoice in the Lord
Always, Always
When the waters are rising around me
You are the Rock that will hide me
You will surround me songs of hope

Sentence Prayer

Father

I am blessed beyond measure for I have experienced your 

forgiveness and acceptance.

Surround me with songs of righteousness and hope


This is possible in the rock of Jesus.  Amen

CONQUERORS

SNIPPET

They can conquer who believe they can. Virgil


SCRIPTURE

As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come Romanians 8:36-38 KJV

SONG
More Than Conquerors by Rend Collective
https://youtu.be/nReif7b4iEU

When my hope and strength is gone
You're the one who calls me on
You are the life
You are the fight
That's in my soul

Oh, Your resurrection power
Burns like fire in my heart
When waters rise
I lift my eyes
Up to Your throne

We are more than conquerors, through Christ
You have overcome this world, this life
We will not bow to sin or to shame
We are defiant in Your name
You are the fire that cannot be tamed
You are the power in our veins
Our Lord, our God, our Conqueror

I will sing into the night
Christ is risen and on high
Greater is He
Living in me
Than in the world

No surrender, no retreat
We are free and we're redeemed
We will declare
Over despair
You are the hope

We are more than conquerors, through Christ
You have overcome this world, this life
We will not bow to sin or to shame
We are defiant in Your name
You are the fire that cannot be tamed
You are the power in our veins
Our Lord, our God, our Conqueror

Nothing is impossible
Every chain is breakable
With You, we are victorious
You are stronger than our hearts
You are greater than the dark
With You, we are victorious
[x3]

We are more than conquerors, through Christ
You have overcome this world, this life
We will not bow to sin or to shame
We are defiant in Your name
You are the fire that cannot be tamed
You are the power in our veins
Our Lord, our God

We are more than conquerors, through Christ
You have overcome this world, this life
We will not bow to sin or to shame
We are defiant in Your name
You are the fire that cannot be tamed
You are the power in our veins
Our Lord, our God, our Conqueror

SENTENCE PRAYER

Jesus

We are conquered by Your love

as Your disciples we will not bow to hate or 

the kingdom of darkness!

Jesus

We are victorious in Your resurrection from the 

dead.  In that belief we lay down our selves and 

take up our cross daily.  Amen
