A Lesson From Christopher Columbus
Down at the shore line, some are now experiencing the Water. Some are jumping in. Some are dangling a toe while claiming that they have it all. Some are trying unsuccessfully to cross the vast Ocean of the Spirit with vessels of their own designs or with no vessels at all. Others have begun to cross this Ocean in the vessel that is built according to the pattern that is so plainly shown in Scripture.
Our human weakness fails to see the vision of the higher, deeper, and broader expanses of God's truth.
When Columbus set sail, he was in the ocean the first day he left the port, but before he reached America, many were telling him to turn back. In the same way, many who are seeking the Truth today are refusing to even touch the Water of the Spirit. Some go far inland, away from the shore, so they don't have to see, hear, smell, taste, or feel this Water of the Spirit. Some of these may even go so far as to claim that there is no Water of the Spirit. From their remote position, they cannot observe the Spirit's existence. Others carefully protect some form of Water container where someone in generations past did enter the Water and brought a filled container back as proof. Of course, the Water in this container has long since dried up, leaving only the container, whether the container be a creed, a doctrine, a form, a ritual, an organization, or something else.
Of course, keeping one foot on the shore will accomplish nothing. Going half way will accomplish nothing. Any who would succeed must be willing to commit totally and continue on until they reach the mark of the high calling which is in Christ Jesus.

Be Transformed
Be transformed. Let the body walk as one.
Be transformed. Now the building has begun.
Be transformed from glory unto glory,
By the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of the Lord.
Be transformed, every gift and ministry,
Be transformed, building up and setting free.
Be transformed from glory unto glory,
By the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of the Lord.
Be transformed by renewing of your mind.
Be transformed; leave the world all behind.
Be transformed from glory unto glory,
By the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of the Lord.
Be transformed. Take the veil from your face.
Be transformed by the glory of His grace.
Be transformed from glory unto glory,
By the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of the Lord.
Be transformed like the coming of the Lord.
Be transformed as we meet in one accord.
Be transformed from glory unto glory,
By the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of the Lord.
Be transformed. Be not molded by the world.
Be transformed with His banner now unfurled.
Be transformed from glory unto glory,
By the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of the Lord.
Be transformed. Let His light now shine in you.
Be transformed. Let all old things be made new.
Be transformed from glory unto glory,
By the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of the Lord.
Be transformed. He equips us now for war.
Be transformed as the kingdom we explore.
Be transformed from glory unto glory,
By the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of the Lord.

From Death To Life
From death to Life, from doubt to Faith,
From fear to Love, by mighty Grace,
Oh, people, move as I direct you into Light.
And never fear for I am here.
And, as you seek, I will draw near.
And, just ahead, you see the Kingdom shining bright.
It's given once for men to die,
So Christ has died to satisfy
The debt of sin and death that you could never pay.
The door of life is open wide.
Come in. Come in. Come and abide.
Take hold of Him, and pass from night into the day.
The Kingdom now is here for you.
The King is calling unto you.
Oh let the world fade away through His free grace.
Take hold of Life in Christ the Lord.
Rise up in Him. He is the Word.
Keep walking in; behold the glory of His Face.

Give Us This Day
Give us this day, our daily bread,
Then lead us to pastures, where we may be fed,
And take us to heights never seen by man,
Give us this Day, our daily bread.

Holiness
Holiness, completeness, the fullness of Jesus,
Into which God has called us if we walk in the Spirit
of the Lord, line on line and precept on precept,
Walking into the fullness of the glory of the Lord.
He is restoring a people who will serve Him, and
Who will worship Him in Spirit and in Truth
A holy Temple, a Nation, a New Creation
A Body, He's fashioning, a Garden full of fruit.
Oh! Lord, I pray for the fullness of Your coming, walking
Closer and closer until we see You face to face,
And there in the Holy of Holies You'll redeem our bodies.
Then we'll truly know You and the fullness of Your grace.

I Have Said I Am A Christian
I have said I am a Christian:
That I follow Jesus Christ.
Since I use the name of Jesus,
May His life show in my life.
I accept the blood of Jesus;
I receive the Way God gave.
I receive His mighty Spirit,
And allow the Lord to Save.
For I know that human effort
Can't avail for righteousness,
I will trust myself to Jesus,
And, to Him, my need confess.
Now, I'm in a time of training,
And by grace I'm being healed,
While I grow to be like Jesus,
Till His fullness is revealed.
Since I say that I'm a Christian,
Let the living Christ abide.
Let not "Christian" be a label,
While Christ Jesus is denied.
As a Christian, though not perfect,
I'm forgiven by God's gift,
Through the payment made by Jesus,
God forgives, abides, and lifts.
My faith comes as I will hear Him;
It's the power of my prayer.
As I seek Him, I will find Him;
When I seek Him, He is there.
Let my hope rest in His goodness.
Come, Lord, live in me, I pray,
Flowing out in depth of purpose,
In all that I think and say.
If I truly love my Jesus,
I will seek to have His mind,
Just like Jesus, be a servant,
Who is humble, meek, and kind.
Since I say I am a Christian.
May His hope fill all my view.
Take all anger, strife, and envy
From my life, and make me new.
Let His Love flow through my being.
Let His Presence give me power.
May my heart be listening closely,
As He guides me hour by hour
My Christ Jesus lives within me,
"Come up higher," hear Him say,
"To a deeper, living glory;
Give the Spirit total sway."
My heart longs to go up higher,
To be freed from every sin.
I am seeking for fulfillment
That is only found in Him.
I desire the greatest blessing,
Pressing in with all my might,
Pressing toward His holy calling,
Till I reach the highest height.
And I seek to really know Him
More completely, day to day,
By the means that God has given;
I am walking in the Way.
Though I know I'm far from perfect,
Yet I long to be complete,
For I know that my completeness,
Will be found at Jesus' feet.

I Have Set My Face As A Flint To Walk Toward Jerusalem
I have set my face as a flint to go toward Jerusalem.
I have set my face as a flint to go toward Jerusalem.
Though the road be hard and upward.
Though the path be narrow and full of pain.
Yet the Spirit compels me to travel on,
That all my loss is gain.
I have set my face as a flint to go toward Jerusalem.
I have set my face as a flint to go toward Jerusalem.
O Jerusalem.
O Jerusalem.
Coming down from our God out of Heaven.
Let us enter in
The New Jerusalem;
Prepared as a Bride for Her Husband.
Now God will live with men.
Heaven and earth, He shall renew;
Old things are passed away,
And all things are made new.

I Want To Be

I want to be, His love for all the world to see,
I want to hear, Him say these words to me,
"Well done, my Son, I am pleased with thee."

If You Hear His Voice
If you hear His voice
While it's called today,
You will make your choice
Whether to obey.
Will you walk into the Kingdom of God?
Walking in the way that Enoch trod?
Walking in the way that Enoch trod?
Don't reject everything you don't understand. (2 Cor. 3:13)
Moving ever onward, you can move at His command.
Take the veil from your eyes and look into the Word.
Many sit self-satisfied, at ease and unmatured.
If you hear His voice
While it's called today,
You will make your choice
Whether to obey.
Will you walk into the Kingdom of God?
Walking in the way that Enoch trod?
Walking in the way that Enoch trod?
Many search the Holy Word, but all they really see (1 Cor. 2:10, Eph. 3:5)
Is the darkness of the veil of their own theology.
The natural mind is enmity, it's waiting to deceive
But the five-fold ministry has been set to receive.
If you hear His voice
While it's called today,
You will make your choice
Whether to obey.
Will you walk into the Kingdom of God?
Walking in the way that Enoch trod?
Walking in the way that Enoch trod?
Some think they are so spiritual--that they have got it all. (2 Tim 3:7)
But he who thinks he standeth must be careful lest he fall.
Some are ever learning but the truth they cannot find
because they put their trust in the power of their mind.
If you hear His voice
While it's called today,
You will make your choice
Whether to obey.
Will you walk into the Kingdom of God?
Walking in the way that Enoch trod?
Walking in the way that Enoch trod?
The Bible gave the warning that there would come an hour (2 Tim 3:5)
When men would have religious forms but yet deny the power.
Don't reject the mighty word of Him who speaks today.
He would have you enter in, and if you will you may.
If you hear His voice
While it's called today,
You will make your choice
Whether to obey.
Will you walk into the Kingdom of God?
Walking in the way that Enoch trod?
Walking in the way that Enoch trod?
If you can see the ministries, you are called this way. (Mat. 13:44-46)
The Kingdom costs you everything; there is no other way.
Don't reject the mighty word of Him who speaks today.
He would have you enter in, make sure that you obey.
If you hear His voice
While it's called today,
You will make your choice
Whether to obey.
Will you walk into the Kingdom of God?
Walking in the way that Enoch trod?
Walking in the way that Enoch trod?

Just Looking Straight Ahead
Not looking to my left hand,
Not looking to my right,
Not looking where I've come from
For I am not of the night;
Just looking straight ahead of me
Where Jesus shined His Light.
His government and presence
Is where I find my delight.

King Of Peace Now Live In Me
King of peace now live in me.
Only You can set me free.
You are the Anointed One.
Oh, the glory of God's Son!
Let the holy Seed now grow,
Nourished by the Spirit's flow.
Every joint supplies in love,
Substance from God's throne above.
Self must die for it is vain.
Only Jesus may remain.
He, the righteous Man will be,
Ever always all of me.
My desires all will go,
Fading in the Spirit's flow,
God's own will becomes my own,
Let my Savior take the throne.
For no flesh may enter in.
Wash away this veil of sin,
Let the old all pass away,
All things new, night turned to day.
Die to self and live to Thee,
Christ alone who lives in me.
Ever clearer now I see,
Lift the curse and set me free.
King of peace now live in me.
Only You can set me free.
You are the Anointed One.
Oh, the glory of God's Son!

Psalm 131
Lord, My heart is not haughty,
Nor mine eyes lofty,
I don't exercise myself in great matters I can't see,
In things that are too high for me.
Let Israel hope in the Lord.
From henceforth, and forever.
Let Israel hope in the Lord.
From henceforth, and forever.
Surely, I have stilled myself
And quieted myself
As a child that is weaned of his mother, a weaned child.
My soul is as a weaned child.
Let Israel hope in the Lord.
From henceforth, and forever.
Let Israel hope in the Lord.
From henceforth, and forever.

SPIRIT OF SONSHIP
Abba Father, the Spirit of sonship cries;
'Tis deep calling unto deep.
Far, far beyond the scope of natural man lies
The sons' great eternal prize.
Naught but the Spirit of sonship
Can take the veil away;
Naught but deep calling to deep
Will bring in God's new day.
Night and day must the cry go forth
From deep down within,
Cleansing, purifying, changing till
I am fashioned just like Him.
Then in all His glorious fulness
I shall come.
Deep will call to deep, Abba Father,
I am Your son! Father, I am Your son!

There's Power For Holiness And Life In Grace
Amazing grace that sets me free,
Abounding more and more;
The Spirit ever leadeth me;
The Lord is every door.
There?s power for holiness and life in grace.
The Spirit leads with power to keep pace.
His mighty grace now lives within;
All sin it will displace.
There?s power for holiness and life in grace.
Through grace I have been born again,
By grace the Temple grows
Until the wondrous morning when
His fullness overflows.
Amazing grace that has restored
The five-fold ministry,
Foundation of Thy Body, Lord,
Which grows in unity
Each stone must now be set in place,
According to His will
So holy power, life, and grace
Will all His Temple fill.

This Is The Anointing Of Being
At any moment, we can link ourselves
To the power of that infinite One.
He, Who orders everything,
He, Who is the King of kings,
He, Who forms and molds,
He, Who sets and holds
The order of all that exists,
He, by Whom all things consist,
The One Who holds all things in His control.
Wisdom is the practice of talking to this One in prayer,
And of listening and hearing and of moving with Him there,
Standing in His presence, struck with holy awe,
Knowing there is nothing else that can, in heaven or earth, compare.
This is the anointing of being.
The anointing of becoming is so near.
This is the Kingdom of God we are seeing.
The Kingdom of God is here.
A righteousness built on love's Light.
Rather than weakness and fear.
Springing from God's own great might.
The Kingdom of God is here.

You Have A Ministry
You have a ministry,
A holy calling from the Lord above.
You have a place in His Body.
Not what you choose to be,
But if you truly seek the Lord above,
If you wait 'til you are sent,
From your own dead works repent,
He will show you what is meant
By a Body that builds itself in love.
You are a ministry,
A holy Temple of the Lord above.
You are a part of His Body.

He will show you what is meant
By a Body that builds itself in love.

From Death To Life
From death to Life, from doubt to Faith,
From fear to Love, by mighty Grace,
Oh, people, move as I direct you into Light.
And never fear for I am here.
And, as you seek, I will draw near.
And, just ahead, you see the Kingdom shining bright.
It's given once for men to die,
So Christ has died to satisfy
The debt of sin and death that you could never pay.
The door of life is open wide.
Come in. Come in. Come and abide.
Take hold of Him, and pass from night into the day.
The Kingdom now is here for you.
The King is calling unto you.
Oh let the world fade away through His free grace.
Take hold of Life in Christ the Lord.
Rise up in Him. He is the Word.
Keep walking in; behold the glory of His Face.

That I follow Jesus Christ.

As I seek Him, I will find Him;
When I seek Him, He is there.
Let my hope rest in His goodness.
Come, Lord, live in me, I pray,
Flowing out in depth of purpose,
In all that I think and say.
If I truly love my Jesus,
I will seek to have His mind,
Just like Jesus, be a servant,
Who is humble, meek, and kind.
Since I say I am a Christian.
May His hope fill all my view.
Take all anger, strife, and envy
From my life, and make me new.
Let His Love flow through my being.
Let His Presence give me power.
May my heart be listening closely,
As He guides me hour by hour
My Christ Jesus lives within me,
?Come up higher,? hear Him say,
?To a deeper, living glory;
Give the Spirit total sway.?
My heart longs to go up higher,
To be freed from every sin.
I am seeking for fulfillment
That is only found in Him.
I desire the greatest blessing,
Pressing in with all my might,
Pressing toward His holy calling,
Till I reach the highest height.
And I seek to really know Him
More completely, day to day,
By the means that God has given;
I am walking in the Way.
Though I know I'm far from perfect,
Yet I long to be complete,
For I know that my completeness,
Will be found at Jesus' feet.

SPIRIT OF SONSHIP
Abba Father, the Spirit of sonship cries;
'Tis deep calling unto deep.
Far, far beyond the scope of natural man lies
The sons' great eternal prize.
Naught but the Spirit of sonship
Can take the veil away;
Naught but deep calling to deep
Will bring in God's new day.
Night and day must the cry go forth
From deep down within,
Cleansing, purifying, changing till
I am fashioned just like Him.
Then in all His glorious fulness
I shall come.
Deep will call to deep, Abba Father,
I am Your son! Father, I am Your son!

The Way Is Simple
The way is simple.
Abide in the Vine.
The Life of the Vine will flow.
The way is simple.
Abide in the vine.
The Spirit's own fruit will grow.

There Is A Time In Early Morn
There is a time in early morn,
I've set aside to seek my Lord,
To rest in bliss by Spirit bourne,
That I may learn to know Him more.
By Jesus' counsel, I can know
His voice and leading and His glow,
That all His love and peace may flow,
And, in His stature, daily grow.

This Is The Anointing Of Being
At any moment, we can link ourselves
To the power of that infinite One.
He, Who orders everything,
He, Who is the King of kings,
He, Who forms and molds,
He, Who sets and holds
The order of all that exists,
He, by Whom all things consist,
The One Who holds all things in His control.
Wisdom is the practice of talking to this One in prayer,
And of listening and hearing and of moving with Him there,
Standing in His presence, struck with holy awe,
Knowing there is nothing else that can, in heaven or earth, compare.
This is the anointing of being.
The anointing of becoming is so near.
This is the Kingdom of God we are seeing.
The Kingdom of God is here.
A righteousness built on love's Light.
Rather than weakness and fear.
Springing from God's own great might.
The Kingdom of God is here.
