Hi there!

 

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

 

Often, we hear the truth of the Word of God expressed best by a Pastor as he teaches it…yet one thing also is true…songs also communicate the Word of God.  Here at Barah Ministries, we are blessed to have one of the best songwriters, music producers and singers of music, all wrapped up in a single package.  Her name is June Murphy…and her lyrics are amazing at communicating the truth of the Word of God.  So for the next several lesson we are going to hear the truth of the Word of God communicated by June in song.  Today’s song is…

 

TODAY’S SONG

You Own Me

 

In First Peter, Chapter 2, Verse 9, believers in the Lord Jesus Christ are described this way…

 

First Peter 2:9

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light…

 

At the moment of salvation, a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ becomes God’s possession.  Here’s June Murphy to sing about being a possession…the song is…

You own me

You ransomed me so I could be Your bride

You own me

To Your Deity You added human life

You’re fully God, fully Man

You are the Sovereign Great I Am 

You’re my Redeemer and friend

I am no longer enslaved to sin

And You own me

 

YOU OWN ME

You own me

My life belongs to You and You alone

You own me

You are my Savior seated on the throne

 

YOU OWN ME

You are my Master and Lord

You make my life worth living for

For my life You have a plan

Your slave to righteousness I am

And You own me

 

YOU OWN ME

You satisfied the Father

In layin’ down Your life for me

In eternity past You made the choice

To die twice on the Tree

 

YOU OWN ME

In those three hours of darkness

You paid the ultimate price

Then You said, “It is finished”

After Your sacrifice

 

YOU OWN ME

You entered into spiritual death

So that I could enter into spiritual life

And You own me

And You own me

I will place no one above You

You’ll never leave…forsake

You keep the promises You make

 

YOU OWN ME

You’re my Husband

My High Priest

On You I depend

You’re the Alpha…Omega

Beginning and end

And You own me

 

What a beautiful thing…to be a possession of the Sovereign God of the Universe, the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  Ephesians, Chapter 1, Verses 13 and 14 put it this way…

 

Ephesians 1:13

In Christ, you believers in Christ also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also believed, you were sealed in union with Him by the agency of the God, the Holy Spirit of promise…

 

Ephesians 1:14

…who is given to us by God the Father as a pledge of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of God the Father’s own possession, to the praise of His glory.

 

When You become a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ…He owns you…and there is no more safe and no more secure place than to be a possession of God.  We dedicate the closing moments of our lesson today to anyone watching or listening that does not have a relationship with the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  Remember this…John, Chapter 3, Verses 36…

 

John 3:36

He who believes in the Son (the Lord Jesus Christ) 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 instead the wrath of God the Father (the Lake of Fire) abides on him.”

 

Right now, you can tell God the Father that you believe in His Son, and that’s the moment of eternal life for you.  It’s the best, and most important decision you can make in your lifetime.  Five simple words get 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 in Your kingdom!//And Jesus said to him, “Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise.”

 

Don’t wait!  Make the best decision of your life right now.  You won’t ever regret being a possession of God.
