"All I Need" - Hillsong



"All I Need"
Ministered By Hillsong

Left my fear by the side of the road
Hear You speak
Won't let go
Fall to my knees as I lift my hands to pray

Got every reason to be here again
Father's love that draws me in
And all my eyes wanna see is a glimpse of You

All I need is You
All I need is You Lord
Is You Lord

One more day and it's not the same
Your Spirit calls my heart to sing
Drawn to the voice of my Saviour once again
Where would my soul be without Your Son
Gave His life to save the earth
Rest in the thought that You're watching over me

All I need is You
All I need is You Lord
Is You Lord

You hold the universe
You hold everyone on earth
You hold the universe
You hold
You hold

Get Intimate With God

It's time to see again. God always shows us His vision for our lives. One of our favorite sayings is...."If it is the will of God". Yet God has already revealed His desires through His Word. Has He not said that He desires that we prosper and be in good health even as our soul (our mind, will, and emotions) prosper. This tells us that God wants us healthy spiritually and physically. It's all in the "knowing". Knowing that God will never leave you nor forsake you. Knowing that you are the head and not the tail. Knowing that you can do all things through Christ that strengthens you. Knowing that it is in God that you live, breathe, and have your being. But again...knowing requires knowledge. Knowledge of who God says you are.

There are many things that are revealed in intimate relationships. Get intimate with God today. There are many things that He needs to reveal to you ... Not only things about Him...but there are things He wants to show you about you. Who knows you better than the one who created you.

Do You Understand Who You Are?

Understanding who you are. You have to understand who you are and what God has called you to be. A king is a person of authority. You have been called to be kings and priests under the authority of Christ. You are to reign in the earth. The problem is, we have no knowledge of who we are...or should I say whose we are. We do not know or understand our kingly heritage. Our breeding. Without the knowledge of who you are and who God created you to be, how can you ever walk in the power or the authority you have been given.

Confidence comes with assurance. Assurance comes through confirmation. Confirmation is given in God's word. God confirms throughout His word who you are and who He has created you to be. But if you never read the word, you can never see who God has created you to be.

Take the time to read your word today...See what God has said about you...Confess what God said about you...and BE what God has said about you.

Be Anchored

We have become so accustomed to how we are. How things are ... and we resist change...whether it be good or bad...we resist it. God is ever changing and He takes us from glory to glory. The hardest part for us is to stand still while God completes the process of change within us. What I mean by being still is for us to be in a place of total trust and obedience to God...His will, purpose and plan for our lives. To have an understanding that He knows all and sees all. To have knowledge of His word that says that He will not allow us to be tried beyond what we can handle.

It's hard to stand still when it seems as though everything is pushing at you on every side. It makes it very difficult to stay in place. That's the challenge. Can you stand in the midst of the storm? Can we be like the boats that are anchored at the dock? When a storm comes, they don't drift away and get destroyed...they stay where they are anchored.

We have to be anchored in the word of God so that when storms come against our lives. So attached to the word of God that we don't just drift away.

Letting Go

What is that you need to let go of today? Is it people, places or things? What is keeping you out of destiny? Not "your destiny" just "destiny". You have to understand tHat destiny is not just about you. There are other people connected to the place you are destined to be. We have to move from the mindset that we have where think our choices only affect us. We need to understand that we are always leaving an inheritance. Inheritance is what you have stored up to leave behind. Check your storage today. Are you leaving behind emotional turmoil? Pain, defeat, backbiting, gossip,unfaithfulness, bad memories? Or are you leaving behind faith, trust, and love?

Every decision that we make has an impact. Even if it is just an emotional impact on someone else. So let's take time to let go of any and everything in our lives that does not line up with the plan, purpose and will of God.

Be An Example Of Thanksgiving

When we stop to think about what God has done in our lives we have to give thanks. But remember thanks is not a momentary thing. We should live in a continual place of thanksgiving. All that you are and all that you will ever be is because of who God is and what Christ did. God is love and out of that love comes His grace and mercy. Out of that love came the ultimate sacrifice, The sacrifice of life so that you could have life.

We too must learn what love is. What sacrifice really means. The whole point of sacrifice is in order to receive a reciprocal result. Christ layed down His life for us, so that we would lay down our lives to be used by God. That is a good principal to have in our homes. One that says I won't ever ask you to do something that I am not willing to do. Whatever I ask you to sacrifice I too am willing to give up. Our lives should never be based on a do as I say principal. It should always be based on example..."do as I do".

In following the same approach, we also need to understand that it is so much easier to learn by example. So as we give thanks, those in our circle of influence learn to give thanks.

Watch What You Are Listening To

There are many voices all around you.   You need to be sure that you are listening to the voice on the inside of you.   The voices around us will try to discourage us or keep us from walking fully in the things of God.   The voice inside is the voice of encouragement.   It is the voice that tells you that you are who God said you are and you can do what God said you can do.  

Be conscious of not only what you are listening to.....but also who you are listening to.  

What's Causing You To Forget Who God Is and What He Will Do For You?

Have you forgotten who you are in Christ? Have you gotten to the point where you want to just give up and quit? Have you forgotten who God i...
