Have a blessed Sunday - Faith for Greater things!

My prayer for you, is the same for me, that God would increase our faith - and give us faith for greater things.

On Wednesday night our Corps has a meal and study (currently focused on one to one evangelism) and I mentioned the prophetic word I was given at camp this past week (see the post on July 22nd). When I mentioned it there was an immediate "out loud" praise by several that were there, obviously ready to accept God's Word that growth should be a part of every Christian Community, church, and Corps.

Lord give us faith to believe that if we will do our part (obedience) that you will be faithful - not because we did anything great, but simply to exalt Your Name. Lord give us faith for greater things.

In our Salvation Army Songbook #769 Albert Orsborn penned these words...
What a work the Lord has done

1. What a work the Lord has done by his saving grace;
Let us praise him, every one, in his holy place.
He has saved us gloriously, led us onward faithfully,
Yet he promised we should see even greater things.

Greater things! Greater things!
Give us faith, O Lord, we pray,
Faith for greater things.

2. Sanctify thy name, O Lord, by thy people here,
For the altar or the sword! Save us from our fear
When the battle rages fast; Help us in the fiery blast,
Let us not be overcast, Prove thy greater things.

3. Every comrade, Lord, we pray, Thou wilt richly bless;
Lead us forth into the fray, One in holiness,
One in faith and harmony, One in perfect charity;
Then we know that we shall see even greater things.
