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...

January 26, 2015 Promises of God

-
Surviving in a World Gone Mad I don't know about you, but as a Christian when I watch the news or listen to the media / celebrities, I find myself getting angry.  We live in a "politically correct" world where truth is under attack.   Too many people get their beliefs from the media / celebrities.  I do not really care what Oprah or the ladies on the View believe or think.  These people are not Christians and carry a non biblical worldview.  It is time as Christians that we get back to allowing the Word of God to be the source and authority on truth. In the meantime, how do we get by in these difficult times.  The promise, along with a warning about these days is in the scripture below.  In the middle of this passage that sounds like it was written directly to 2015 American is a promise -- "but I am with you in spirit,"  and then later in verse 6 "walk in Him".  Then comes the ultimate promise is verse 15, "He triumphed over them by Him."...
