Build Your Kingdom Here

-
My Pastor, Alan Beauchamp, at Praise Assembly has turned this into the prayer for our church at Praise Assembly in North Springfield in Missouri.  This is his favorite song because of the lyrics.  It is a prayer and could even be called an anthem.  I want you to read the lyrics and then you can listen to the song if you would like, I have added the you tube link as well.  But read the lyrics.  I think if you pay close attention to the lyrics you will agree with Pastor Beauchamp in that this needs to be our prayer as American Christians and that this can serve as an anthem for revival in the church today. 

"Build Your Kingdom Here"

Come, set Your rule and reign
In our hearts again
Increase in us we pray
Unveil why we're made
Come, set our hearts ablaze with hope
Like wildfire in our very souls
Holy Spirit come invade us now
We are Your church
We need Your power in us

We seek Your kingdom first
We hunger and we thirst
Refuse to waste our lives
For You're our joy and prize
To see the captive hearts released
The hurt, the sick, the poor at peace
We lay down our lives for Heaven's cause

We are Your church
We pray: revive this earth

Build Your kingdom here
Let the darkness fear
Show Your mighty hand
Heal our streets and land
Set Your church on fire
Win this nation back
Change the atmosphere
Build Your kingdom here
We pray

Unleash Your kingdoms power
Reaching the near and far
No force of Hell can stop
Your beauty changing hearts
You made us for much more than this
Awake the kingdom seed in us
Fill us with the strength and love of Christ

We are Your church
We are the hope on earth

Build Your kingdom here
Let the darkness fear
Show Your mighty hand
Heal our streets and land
Set Your church on fire
Win this nation back
Change the atmosphere
Build Your kingdom here
We pray

Build Your kingdom here
Let the darkness fear
Show Your mighty hand
Heal our streets and land
Set Your church on fire
Win this nation back
Change the atmosphere
Build Your kingdom here
We pray

A few quick thoughts before you click on the link and listen to the song.  The first verse is about us, it is asking God to send revival fire to our hearts first.  You can not control others relationship with God, but you do control yours!  The second verse addresses our purpose in life.  We refuse to waste our lives and we lay down our lives for heavens cause jump out at me.  We are the church is the line starts the chorus and we need to remember that, we not a building or a denomination are the church!  In the chorus I love the line, let the darkness fear, the darkness for too long has tried to intimidate the American Christian, it is time to let the darkness fear!

Coaching Football Jesus Style

This Article was originally posted on Doublewingonline Coaching Football: Jesus Style Mark Jackson, Christian Assistant Football Coach Grandview High School Kansas City, MO Coach Pitcher goes over the special teams depth chart one last time, next Coach Goltra reminds the team one last time of the keys to success on defense. Now it is my turn, I try to eloquently hit the tree points necessary for us to be successful on offense; establish the Power by getting a play side push from our offensive line, be able to protect the play action, and make sure that we play our “up” tempo style of no huddle. “Gentlemen, play fast tonight, if you are more physical than them then you will win this game. Remember focus and intensity, but focus comes first! All right now, let’s pray.” I usually pick a player to lead the prayer, they sometimes fumble through it or seem very nervous, but I am always encouraged by the sincerity of the prayer. When the players finish praying we always do one last thin

What We Worship

-
I am sitting at an auto dealership waiting for my wife’s vehicle to be fixed, which means that I am sitting in a waiting room full of people and we are watching daytime television. The Tyra Banks show is now on and the Rachael Ray show just went off. Tyra is interviewing Alyssa Milano, who I hate to admit, but I had a crush on her as a teenager, but what boy who grew up in the 1980’s didn’t have a crush on her – maybe even had a poster on the wall, but don’t tell anyone. Anyway, I am getting a little off the point here so let me get back on track. When the Tyra Banks show came on, she came up through an elevator with smoke and spotlights and music in the background and the crowd gave her a standing ovation cheering wildly. Of course Tyra Banks is a superstar and probably one of the most beautiful women on this planet, but is it right to put these people up on a pedestal like this? This thought for this strand started last night. My mother-in-law, a very Godly lady, came in for Ch
