August 11 was a special time of connecting with Jesus' heart through lots of unhurried worship, scriptures and communion. blazingfire.org

1. Gaze upon JESUS
Brent Lokker August 11, 2018

2. I Won’t Forget by Brian Johnson
You came in the night
and tore down the walls
that held my broken heart
When all I could see
lay ruined and scarred
Your light shattered the dark
Jesus, oh the wonder of Your name
Jesus, I’m forever changed

3. Hebrews 12:2 (TPT)
We look away from the natural realm
and we fasten our gaze onto Jesus who
birthed faith within us and who leads
us forward into faith’s perfection. His
example is this: Because his heart was
focused on the joy of knowing that
you would be his, he endured the
agony of the cross and conquered its
humiliation, and now sits exalted at
the right hand of the throne of God!

4. Colossians 2:6-7
In the same way you received Jesus
our Lord and Messiah by faith,
continue your journey of faith,
progressing further into your union
with him! Your spiritual roots go
deeply into his life as you are
continually infused with strength,
encouraged in every way. For you
are established in the faith you have
absorbed and enriched by your
devotion to him!

5. Titus 3:4-7
But then something happened:
God our Savior and His
overpowering love and kindness
for humankind entered our
world; He came to save us. It’s not
that we earned it by doing good
works or righteous deeds; He
came because He is merciful. He
brought us out of our old ways of
living to a new beginning through
the washing of regeneration;

6. and He made us completely
new through the Holy
Spirit, who was poured out in
abundance through Jesus the
Anointed, our Savior. All of
this happened so that through
His grace we would be accepted
into God’s covenant family and
appointed to be His heirs, full of
the hope that comes from
knowing you have eternal life.

7. Made New by Sierra Lout

8. In these last days, God’s voice has come to us through His
Son, the One who has been given dominion over all things and
through whom all worlds were made. This is the One who—
imprinted with God’s image, shimmering with His glory—
sustains all that exists through the power of His word. He was
seated at the right hand of God once He Himself had made the
offering that purified us from all our sins. Hebrews 1:2-3 (VOICE)

9. What a Beautiful Name

10. He has rescued us completely from
the tyrannical rule of darkness and
has translated us into the kingdom
realm of his beloved Son. For in the
Son all our sins are canceled and we
have the release of redemption
through his very blood.
Colossians 1:13-22 (TPT)

11. He is the divine portrait, the true
likeness of the invisible God, and the
first-born heir of all creation. For
through the Son everything was
created, both in the heavenly realm
and on the earth, all that is seen and
all that is unseen. Every seat of power,
realm of government, principality, and
authority—it was all created through
him and for his purpose! He existed
before anything was made, and now
everything finds completion in him.
Colossians 1:13-22 (TPT)

12. He is the Head of his body, which is
the church. And since he is the
beginning and the firstborn heir in
resurrection, he is the most exalted
One, holding first place in
everything. For God is satisfied to
have all his fullness dwelling in
Christ. And by the blood of his
cross, everything in heaven and
earth is brought back to himself—
back to its original intent, restored to
innocence again!
Colossians 1:13-22 (TPT)

13. Even though you were once distant
from him, living in the shadows of
your evil thoughts and actions, he
reconnected you back to himself. He
released his supernatural peace to you
through the sacrifice of his own
body as the sin-payment on your
behalf so that you would dwell in
his presence. And now there is
nothing between you and Father
God, for he sees you as holy,
flawless, and restored.
Colossians 1:13-22 (TPT)

14. John 10:11
I am the Good Shepherd who lays down my life as a
sacrifice for the sheep.

15. “I alone am the Good Shepherd, and I know those
whose hearts are mine, for they recognize me and know
me, just as my Father knows my heart and I know my
Father’s heart. I am ready to give my life for the sheep.

16. My own sheep will hear my voice and I know each
one, and they will follow me. I give to them the gift of
eternal life and they will never be lost and no one has
the power to snatch them out of my hands.

17. My Father, who has given them to me as his gift, is the
mightiest of all, and no one has the power to snatch
them from my Father’s care. The Father and I are one.”

18. The Lord is my Shepherd/Psalm 23

19. Communion
The Lord’s Supper

20. When Jesus had offered the
one supreme sacrifice for sin
for all time he sat down on a
throne at the right hand of
God. And by his one perfect
sacrifice he made us perfectly
holy and complete for all
time! And then he says, “I
will not ever again remember
their sins and lawless deeds!”Hebrews 10:12, 14, 17

21. Now may the God who
brought us peace by
raising from the dead our
Lord Jesus Christ so that
he would be the Great
Shepherd of his flock; and
by the power of the blood
of the eternal covenant
Hebrews 13:20-21

22. may he work perfection
into every part of you
giving you all that you need
to fulfill your destiny. And
may he express through
you all that is excellent and
pleasing to him through
your life-union with Jesus
the Anointed One who is to
receive all glory forever!
Amen!
Hebrews 13:20-21

23. Revelation 19:6-9
Then I heard what seemed to be
the thunderous voice of a great
multitude, like the sound of a
massive waterfall and mighty
peals of thunder, crying out:
“Hallelujah! For the Lord our God,
the Almighty, reigns! Let us rejoice
and exalt him and give him glory,
because the wedding celebration
of the Lamb has come. And his
bride has made herself ready.

24. Fine linen, shining bright and
clear, has been given to her to
wear, and the fine linen
represents the righteous deeds
of his holy believers.”
Then the angel said to me,
“Write these words:
Wonderfully blessed are those
who are invited to feast at the
wedding celebration of the
Lamb!”

25. Now all glory to God, who is
able to keep you from falling
away and will bring you with
great joy into his glorious
presence without a single fault.
All glory to him who alone is
God, our Savior through Jesus
Christ our Lord. All glory,
majesty, power, and authority
are his before all time, and in the
present, and beyond all time!
Amen.

26. Hallelujah, You are Holy
