Mighty to Save!

No, no one came to salvation! But, I am encouraged by a song (words are below) I heard at a Passion: Global Tour Conference on Saturday. It is no doubt that ministry can at times be so discouraging and for me at times I am tempted to think that I am the one who actually changes the heart of people. What a foolish and burdensome thought?!? Even in my own family, with all our problems and brokenness, sometimes it’s simply all just too overwhelming. In my own life, I am prone to forget that there is a God who sits and reigns victoriously on the throne and He is indeed MIGHTY TO SAVE! He is the one who actually changes the heart of stone to a heart of flesh! He is the author of salvation. What a comfort and liberating thought to know that God is the potter and I am the clay! As the clay, I am reminded that I am merely a vessel and that it is the Holy Spirit that illumines the heart of people to the point of salvation. He shows mercy on whomever He desires. In light of the sufficiency and might of God I am therefore compelled to press on for the sake of the elect, whoever they are!!!

Mighty to Save
by
Hillsong

Everyone needs compassion Love that’s never failing Let mercy fall on me
Everyone needs forgiveness The kindness of a Saviour The hope of nations
CHORUS:
Saviour
He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever
Author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
VERSE 2:
So take me as You find me All my fears and failures Fill my life againI give my life to follow Everything I believe in Now I surrender
BRIDGE:
Shine Your light and let the whole world see
We’re singing
For the glory of the risen King
