16 March 2012 - Kingdom Invasion

We went to the Kingdom Invasion last night
Thousands of people, what a great sight
Prayer and worship set the stage
Lots of songs, page after page
Highlights of the conference flashed on the screen
Many healing miracles were there to be seen

About "Hosting the Presence", Bill Johnson did speak
For a relationship with the Spirit is what we should seek
From Johnson's mouth, there were exhortations aplenty
God "sent His Word and healed them", per Psalm 107:20
He said that for Christians, every hour is happy hour
For God's good mood provides lots of awesome power
But nothing happens without a declaration first
For the Spirit's healing, we all should thirst

From Luke 8, Jesus could feel the power leave
Even though the woman just touched his sleeve
Similarly, we must recognise the Spirit's power
Even if ministering is not what we are doing that hour
And since God is with us all night and day
For His presence, we don't need to pray
From experience, we should try to learn
Instead of to an instruction manual turn

In children, there are many things that God does admire
Adventure, innocence, and curiosity that does not tire
God wants us to have these same childlike traits
Creativity is also something He highly rates

The Spirit rested on Jesus after he was baptized
Its presence is not something that can be disguised
The Spirit can influence the environment around us all
Like Peter when people around him sick did fall
The Spirit's presence we must value and protect
So that it can do its job completely unchecked
Even the Spirit's shadow can do miracles and heal
That's why having it inhabit us is so ideal
We often focus on problems but not the answer
For the Spirit can cure all ails, including cancer

The dove of peace looks for people on whom to rest
How we react determines how much we are blessed
Jesus startled his disciples in John 20 verse 19
They were happy when his wounds had been seen
"Peace be with you" he repeated to them twice
Getting a second chance from God is rather nice
The Holy Spirit is what God wants us to receive
It wants to rest on the shoulders of those who believe
And if the Spirit is with us, by others it can be sensed
God's light will be emitted and it cannot be fenced

It is from yielding, not effort, that faith does result
Is that why it is easier for a child than an adult?
Remember that faith is normal for those who believe
Our hearts must be ready and open in order to receive
