Hi there!

 

Welcome to Barah Ministries…a Christian Church based in Mesa, AZ…my name is Pastor Rory Clark.

 

There are many ways to learn about God, and one of those ways is through songs, which do a great job of communicating the truth of the Word of God.  Here at Barah Ministries, we are blessed to have one of the best songwriters, best singers, and best music producers, all wrapped up in a single package.  Her name is June Murphy, and her songs are amazing at communicating the truth of the Word of God.

 

Today you’ll hear a song from June’s third album…the Calling You to Freedom album…today’s song is…YOU DON’T HAVE TO BEG.

 

TODAY’S SONG

You Don’t Have to Beg

 

“I just know God is disappointed with me.”  I can’t begin to tell you how many times I have heard people say that.  I actually cringe when I hear it.  When someone thinks that…when someone says that…what they’re really saying is that they think something they have done wrong is bigger than God’s ability to forgive.

 

Nonsense.

 

God proved His love for all mankind with a single act…the Cross…John, Chapter 15, Verse 13…

 

JOHN 15:13

Greater love has no one than this…that one lay down his life for his friends.

 

The Lord Jesus Christ, the One and Only Sovereign God of the Universe, laid down His life to prove His love for you.  God the Father proved His love for you by sending His Son…Romans, Chapter 5, Verse 8…

 

ROMANS 5:8

But God the Father demonstrates His own unconditional love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners (as unrighteous, ungodly unbelievers), Christ died for us.

 

The one thing we have to acknowledge when we think God is disappointed in us is that God is omniscient…He knows all that is knowable.  And before you were born, He knew everything you would ever do.  So while your sins and your mistakes may be a total surprise to you, they are never a surprise to God.

 

God loves you Unconditionally…and UN means no…there are no conditions to God’s love so His love for you isn’t based on what you do or don’t do.  That’s a hard things for the human mind to grasp because we don’t love people that way.

YOU DON’T HAVE TO BEG

June Murphy

 

Here’s June Murphy to sing about the Lord’s UNconditional love for you…a song sung from God’s perspective…a song entitled YOU DON’T HAVE TO BEG.

 

YOU DON’T HAVE TO BEG

 

I know all your secrets

You’re no stranger to Me

All you’ve done

All you’ll do

I’ve known an eternity

 

YOU DON’T HAVE TO BEG

 

Dying on the Cross for you…

Was planned before your first breath

To prove how much I love you

I will never love you less

 

YOU DON’T HAVE TO BEG

 

You don’t have to beg Me to love you

I don’t need a bribe to make Me stay

You don’t have to beg Me to love you

You could never run Me away

 

YOU DON’T HAVE TO BEG

 

You don’t have to beg Me to love you

Don’t have to beg Me to love you…

I’ll stay!

 

YOU DON’T HAVE TO BEG

 

My thoughts are higher than your thoughts

My ways are higher, too…

My love’s not the love of man

To be given…then taken from you

 

YOU DON’T HAVE TO BEG

 

You don’t have to beg Me to love you

I don’t need a bribe to make Me stay

You don’t have to beg Me to love you

You could never run Me away

 

YOU DON’T HAVE TO BEG

 

You don’t have to beg Me to love you

Don’t have to beg Me to love you…

I’ll stay!

 

 YOU DON’T HAVE TO BEG

 

I know of your rejection

Well I’ve been rejected, too

But that won’t stop Me from loving

Or giving My all to you

 

YOU DON’T HAVE TO BEG

 

You don’t have to beg Me to love you

I don’t need a bribe to make Me stay

You don’t have to beg Me to love you

You could never run Me away

 

YOU DON’T HAVE TO BEG

 

You don’t have to beg…plead

Get on your knees…‘cause

I’ll never leave

 

YOU DON’T HAVE TO BEG

 

You don’t have to beg Me to love you

I don’t need a bribe to make Me stay

You don’t have to beg Me to love you

You could never run Me away

 

YOU DON’T HAVE TO BEG

 

You don’t have to beg Me to love you

Don’t have to beg Me to love you

I’m God…

I’ll stay!

 

YOU DON’T HAVE TO BEG

 

My love for you is eternal

I’ll stay!

 

 

First John, Chapter 4, Verse 8 says…

 

FIRST JOHN 4:8

The one who does not love unconditionally does not know God, for God is unconditional love.

Thanks June, for your lesson on love. 

 

Psalm 95, Verse 1 says…

 

PSALM 95:1

O come, let us sing for joy to the Lord…

Let us shout joyfully to the rock of our salvation.

 

We dedicate the closing moments of our lesson today to anyone watching or to anyone listening who no longer wants to live under the slavery and the rulership of God’s enemy, Satan…to anyone who does not have a relationship with the One and Only God…the God who loves you unconditionally…the faithful One…the one who forgive all of your sins…the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  Acts, Chapter 2, Verse 21 says…

 

ACTS 2:21

‘And it shall be that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’

 

Right now, you can call on the name of the Lord by telling God the Father that you believe in His Son, and that’s the moment of eternal life for you.  Believing in the Lord Jesus Christ is the best and most important decision you can make in your lifetime.  A simple five-word request gets you to heaven…“Father, I believe in Christ.”  For a thief being crucified next to Jesus, it was a nine word request…Luke, Chapter 23, Verses 42 and 43…

 

LUKE 23:42-43

And the repentant thief was saying, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!”//And Jesus said to him, “Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise.”

 

Let today be the day you stop putting off the best decision of your life. You won’t ever regret believing in the Lord Jesus Christ and counting on Him to accomplish your salvation.  Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ…and you will be saved…then, get to know Him!  Grow, within the sphere of His grace, in the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  In John, Chapter 3, Verse 36, the Lord Himself says…

JOHN 3:36

“He who believes in the Son has eternal life (the resurrection life) right at that moment…but he who does not obey the command to believe in the Son will not see the resurrection life, but the wrath of God (the Lake of Fire) abides on him.”

 

Come on out of slavery and into the freedom of the resurrection life.
