Greetings,
Today I am in Wisconsin. I have had some wonderful days with a life-long friend and a family reunion on the weekend. Yesterday I was with the church family of Living Waters Fellowship and we had a wonderful time with God in His presence and with one another. It is good to be alive, to be joined to God in life, and to be joined to others in this journey of life.
As members of the body of Christ we live our lives as a testimony of those who have been reconciled to God in Christ. We live to know His presence in us and with us in our journey of life. Knowing God will enable us to be who we are meant to be. This is good news! It is the good news of being sons and daughters of God who are His song of life to our world. The melody of our hearts is life to one another.
Psalms 40:9 I have proclaimed the good news of righteousness in the great assembly; indeed, I do not restrain my lips, O LORD, You Yourself know. 10 I have not hidden Your righteousness within my heart; I have declared Your faithfulness and Your salvation; I have not concealed Your lovingkindness and Your truth from the great assembly. 11 Do not withhold Your tender mercies from me, O LORD; let Your lovingkindness and Your truth continually preserve me.
Psalms 40:16 Let all those who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; let such as love Your salvation say continually, “The LORD be magnified!”
The song of your life is determined by the focus of your heart. The testimony of a song from the heart is that others become influenced by its melody and words. Whatever, or whoever, we allow to affect our hearts determines the expressions of our lives to our world.
What frequency are we tuned into? We hear radios with our ears, and we can hear the frequency we choose to tune to. We see television pictures with our eyes in the same way. We can see whatever we seek when we tune into the frequency of what we want to see. We hear God with our hearts. We hear the God we choose to tune in to. Our heart is the receiver and God’s heart is the frequency that we must seek to become a song of His love and presence in life.
We must seek to know the frequency of God’s heart in order to know where to put our hearts. We join to Him in our spirit and then our spirit floods our soul.
A prosperous spirit makes a prosperous soul, and a prosperous soul makes a prosperous life. True prosperity is not measured by the things we possess. It is measured by the measure of life we give to our world. A new song is a testimony of God’s life within us and it is expressed through our actions in life that are empowered by thoughts, reasoning, imaginations, emotions, and life-giving desires in our souls. For this to happen we must seek to live with a prosperous heart – a prosperous spirit. We hear God with our spirits and then our spirits flood our souls. Our souls flood our lives with the song of our hearts.
God is good and He loves people. Hearing Him and responding to His voice brings life to our world. This is the fruit of the life of God in our hearts in the moment called NOW to be experienced by others in our world TODAY. Hearing God brings life! When God speaks, we feel that life inside our hearts, we experience an overflow of that life in our souls, and we express that life to others in our world.
My heart is stirred by a noble theme, as I recite my verses for the King, my tongue is a skillful pen inscribing words to praise Him (Psalm 45:1).
The season is TODAY, and the time is NOW to experience God’s love in a supernatural way and to become an instrument of His praise in your world. Let Him love you! Whoever has an ear to hear, let him hear!
Blessings,
Ted J. Hanson

“NEW SONG!” I love this analogy–and that we as a body: “Sing and make melody in our hearts to the Lord.” May those who are still compelled by religion to follow “The Law” (operating from the dead man rather than the new man) of performance, hierarchies, nepotism, pride in their way of worship, exclusion, measuring, assessing others based on their agendas and other worldly thoughts as being “better than them.” It sounds like an old static radio frequency that gets into the heart and feels like a perverted version of the “New Song” with no life. May we continue to come in unity to the knowledge of the truth of the Gospel. The The Good news is for everyone in the earth–and it still remains: “You shall know them by their love.” You are about imparting life–and thank you for your consistency and commitment to who the real Jesus is.
