Fanny Crosby was a prolific hymn writer best known for writing Blessed Assurance. She became blind since birth. In spite of being blind she displayed remarkable determination to memorize portions of the bible and become an accomplished musician and poet.

It is said that her personal experiences and and spiritual insights undoubtedly allowed fanny to minister to the world through song and that her blinded was a special gift from God, which allowed her to see spiritual truths more clearly.

This belief was evident in the way she wrote about faith, truth and assurance in Gods promises.

Without our senses, we are lost, confused, and disoriented. There a world searching for an answer to life’s problems and the truth is they are lost because they have not come to their senes.

For one to come to their sense. You have to have an experience.

I am sure we’ve all had a life experience or two where you had a reality check that made you come to your senses.

In other words, a moment where you stated to change your thinking.

But the question still remains how does a lost world find hope, freedom and a God-like Love?

Look at your neighbor and says - You.

You brother and sister are the church, the Ecclesia, the church, the called out ones. You were chosen to make a difference in the earth.

Genesis 2:7–8 ESV

then the Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature. And the Lord God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and there he put the man whom he had formed.

When God breathes on you, he has a place for you.

When he calls you or summons you theres a position with your name on it.

The church is Birth in Acts chapter 2

Acts 2:1 ESV

When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place.

Unity is required to see a supernatural move of God.

One accord here means Homothumadon - which says there affections, desires and wishes we aligned.

That desire was to see the fulfillment of what Jesus said in Acts 1:4-8

wait for the promise of the father,

youll holy with the holy ghosts

You cant afford to lose passion right now.

Acts 1:4–8 (ESV)

4 And while staying with them he ordered them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, he said, “you heard from me;

5 for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”

6 So when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?”

7 He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority.

8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

You have to learn trust God’s word. His promise is true. (son of man that he should repent)

When God breathe life into you he intended for you to wholly/ Holy.

Jesus says, Don’t worry about when I am going to restore Israel.

Isn’t like us to want all the details. How this? Why that?

God is saying come up a little higher.

I. Active your mind - take that which is inactive, and put it into action.

BE YE TRANSFORMED BY THE RENEWING of your mind

There power in the renewing. There is nothing like a made up mind.

Isaiah 40:29–31 ESV

29 He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. 30 Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; 31 but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.

Genesis 11:1–11 KJV 1900

1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. 2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. 3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter. 4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. 5 And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. 6 And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. 7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech. 8 So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. 9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth. 10 These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood: 11 And Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.

Take Hold of your mind, your family, your finances, whatever you’re going through theres an answer for it.

II. Activate your Sound

Acts 2:2–3 KJV 1900

2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.

disbursed tongues

Notice how the are waiting - Praying and anticipating a move.

God will respond to your sound.

David said: Psalm 34 1-4

Psalm 34:1–4 ESV

1 I will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth. 2 My soul makes its boast in the Lord; let the humble hear and be glad. 3 Oh, magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together! 4 I sought the Lord, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears.

illustration; Someone body going through

Application:

When you are waiting in expectation and or anticipating a move of God, you make way for the Noo mah - spirit of God to move.

you want to see a supernatural revival get on one accord and speak the same thing.

1 Corinthians 1:10 KJV 1900

10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

Psalm 81:10 ESV

10 I am the Lord your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.

Any sound not unified will produce chaos.

Acts 2:4 KJV 1900

4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Activate your Faith - take that which is inactive, and put it into action.

John 14:12 ESV

“Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father.

Jesus says greater works than these shall he do, because I go unto My Father. One must first understand that you have control over your thoughts

Who are you listening to?

You’re waiting for God to move, God is saying you have everything you need.

Psalm 139:23–24 KJV 1900

Search me, O God, and know my heart: Try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.
