Jesus
i thank you for your forgiveness
for when i was young
i was dead
as dead as lazarus
you heard the wailing
those whose hearts you moved
to cry out
to cry out for me
you called me out of the grave
by your mercy, grace and forgiveness
you are even now
removing the death cloths
that have held me bound
the continued power burns through the false covering and binding death cloths of sin
i am alive in you
i walked out of the dark cave of death by
your call
your power
the cloths of death
in which i was bound
hinder me in my walk sight and hearing
Jesus
i thank you for each layer that is removed
lazarus could not remove his own death cloths
his hands were bound
he could not see
you called on others
to go free their brother
free him to walk see and hear
you allowed them to be a part of his release
you allowed ‘them’ a part in his miracle
amazing
we need others
to free us from our hindering death cloths
we need
to be part of one another’s miracles
psalm 130, verses 7-8
“O Israel put your hope in the Lord,
For with the Lord is unfailing love
And with Him is full redemption.
He Himself will redeem Israel from all their sin!”
a gracious good word!
ask for continued mercy to show the death cloths that holds us bound
work together (by holding still or assisting) to remove death cloths
we all have death cloths
Jesus
alone is completely and totally free from any binding of death
lift up names of those near and dear
call out
ask Jesus to continue to draw these precious ones
do not remove a death cloth only to replace it with another of our own making
do not hinder each other in this way
it matters not how good these cloths smell
of what fine linen they are made of
a death cloth is a death cloth
if they are bound they are bound
hindering walk sight and hearing
Spirit – help us
to be brave
to see
to recognize our own death cloths
enable us
darkness looms
wait
wait for the morning
wait for the light!
trust in God from whence our call and light comes
do you feel bound
wait
you may not be able to help yourself
stand still
they can see
wait
for the light
trust God
the unraveling will happen
stand still
wait
