Moving In The Power Of God

How to move in the power of God?  Do you have any idea how to do it?  How to be moved?  I know the power of God is moving but I don’t know exactly how.

I was really puzzled when this theme was given to me for St. Nicholas Presentation last year.  To be honest, I’m not that too spiritual - knowing everything about the character of God.  Yes, He moves in His own ways and He doesn’t give us any details about it.  What He usually requires in us is our obedience and willingness of heart to do the things He wants us to do.

It took me a while to come up with the script because I really don’t know how to do it exactly.  I mean, theologically, I don’t have concrete formula to that.  To be moved in the power of God is kind of supernatural.  I don’t have a word to describe it because it is awesome.

I asked God for the wisdom and guidance how to do the script.  I started my research, seeking God’s word and appropriate songs to be suited to the theme.  I also interviewed people whom I know they operated in the gifts of the Spirit.  Though I can’t absorb completely because I’m looking for something to inspire me, still God is so patiently to guide me.   

I was facing faith crisis while doing the script and the enemy is trying to distract me but thanks be to God for He has given me the victory in Christ Jesus.  In other words, I have to go through with the script I’m writing for me to experience how God move. 

This is the script were I revised five times and in every revision, God is telling me something, something that should be alive in my heart that I may be able to write it with the heart, with the heart of God.  When the script became final, I realized that it was my blueprint for the whole year.  I know that God has a reason why I wrote this script and hope, this will help you too. 

The script was written in Tagalog-English for the benefit of the children because St. Nicholas Presentation is for them and it is done yearly by the Holy Society of the Holy Family.   Participants were more on the Sunday schoolers with the participation of the graduates, parents and teachers.

MOVING IN THE POWER OF GOD

St. Nicholas Presentation 2016

NARRATOR          :           God desires to bring a fresh wave of the Holy Spirit in every generation.  Ayon sa sulat ni propetang Joel, “ibubuhos ko ang aking Espiritu sa lahat ng tao; isasaysay ng inyong mga anak ang aking mga salita: sari-sari ang mapapanaginip ng matatandang lalaki at makakakita ng mga pangitain ang inyong mga kabataang lalaki.  Sa panahong iyon, ibubuhos ko ang aking Espiritu, pati sa mga alipin, lalaki’t babae. (Joel 2:28-29)

                        Ibig nang Diyos na tayo’y maging malapit sa Kanya.  Layunin Nyang maramdaman natin ang Kanyang ipinagkaloob na kapangyarihan at luwalhati.  Nais Nyang hatakin tayo sa loob ng Kanyang presensya at hangad Nyang makita ang mga mukha natin na nagniningning sa Kanyang kaluwalhatian, sapagkat “Siya ang ilaw, at walang anumang kadiliman sa kanya.”  (1 John 1:5)

                        Tayo ay pinagkatiwalaan ng Diyos na maging tapat sa kanya habang tayo ay nasa sanlibutan kung kaya’t lumakad tayo sa Kanyang liwanag, mamuhay sa Kanyang pagmamahal at kumilos sa Kanyang kapangyarihan.

NARRATOR          :           God created everything to work perfectly after its own order.   “Ginawa nya ito upang Sya ay makilala ng buong daigdig, na makilala natin na Sya si Yahweh, Sya lamang ang Diyos at wala nang iba.” (Isaiah 45:6) 

                        Bago pa man tayo ipinanganak, may plano na ang Diyos para sa atin.  Sinabi Nya sa Jeremias 29:11, “Ako lamang ang nakaaalam ng mga panukalang inihahanda ko para sa ikabubuti ninyo, at para dulutan kayo ng pag-asa sa hinaharap.”  Kailangan nating maunawaan na tayo ay masterpiece nang Diyos, at tayo ay may layunin sa daigdig na ginagalawan natin.

                        “Ano nga ang tao upang Kanyang alalahanin?  Ay ano nga ang tao na sukat nyang kalingain?” (Psalm 8:4)  “Tayo’y kanyang nilalang, nilikha sa pamamagitan ni Cristo Jesus upang iukol natin ang ating buhay sa paggawa ng mabuti, na itinalaga nang Diyos para sa atin noon pa mang una.”(Ephesians 2: 10)  Sapagkat “tayo’y nakita na, hindi pa man sumisilang, batid nya kung ilang taon ang haba ng ating buhay: pagkat ito’y nakatitik sa aklat nya na talaan” (Psalm 13:16).

                        Lagi nating alalahanin na ang pag-ibig ng Diyos para sa atin ay kahanga-hanga at walang sinuman ang makakasukat ng taas o lalim at lapad nito.

GOD’S LOVE IS WONDERFUL

God’s Love is so wonderful,

God’s Love is so wonderful,

God’s Love is so wonderful,

Oh! Wonderful love!

So high you can’t get over it,

So deep you can’t get under it,

So wide you can’t get around it,

Oh! Wonderful love!

NARRATOR          :           Labis ang kagustuhan ng ating Panginoon na magising ang nagniningas na simbuyo ng damdamin sa ating mga puso upang mapunta tayo sa dako na mauunawaan natin na walang anumang mas mahalaga sa ating buhay o sa mundo ngayon sa lumalagablab, madamdamin at nag uumapaw na pag-ibig ng Diyos. 

                        Dahil sa Kanyang dakilang pag-ibig sa atin, “kaya ibinigay niya ang kanyang bugtong na Anak, upang ang sumampalataya sa kanya ay hindi mapahamak, kundi magkaroon ng buhay na walang hanggan.”(John 3:16)

                       

                        It’s only by His love that brings us together as one.  Sa kanyang pagbigay ng Kanyang pag-ibig sa ating mga puso, ginawa Niya tayong tuwid sa Kanyang paningin, ibinigay Niya ang Kanyang bugtong na Anak upang tayo ay mamuhay sa Kanya; at sa Kanyang pagbigay ng buhay Niya, tayo ay namumuhay din para sa iba.   

                        Halina at humayo tayo sa buong mundo upang sabihin ang kahanga-hangang pag-ibig ng Diyos.

TELL THE WORLD OF HIS LOVE

For God so loved the world

He gave us His only son

Jesus Christ our Savior

His most precious one

He has sent us His message of love

And sends those who hear

To bring the message to everyone

In a voice loud and clear

Let us tell the world of His love

The greatest love the world has known

Search the world for those who have walked

Astray and lead them home

Fill the world's darkest corners

With His light from up above

Walk every step, Every mile, Every road

And tell the world, Tell the world of His love

NARRATOR          :           Ang ating Panginoon ay nananabik sa ating presensya.  “Minamasdan nya ang buong daigdig, upang tulungan at aliwin ang lahat ng tapat sa kanya.” (2 Chronincles 16:9)  Inaanyayahan tayo ng Diyos na pumunta sa loob ng Kanyang presensya upang Siya’y makipag-usap sa atin.  Ayon sa Isaias 55:6, “Hanapin si Yahweh samantalang siya’y iyong makikita, Siya ay tawagin habang malapit pa.”  Huwag tayong matakot na lumapit sa Kanya sapagkat Siya’y naghihintay sa atin.  Kapag ating isinuko ang buhay natin sa panalangin, ang kapangyarihan ng Banal na Espiritu ay mapasaatin.

                        Ibig ng Diyos na tayo ay makasama sa Kanyang mga gawain.  Kung papaano Nya tinawag ang kanyang mga alagad noon, ay ganon din naman sa atin ngayon.  Siya ay magpapadala ng pagbabago sa pangdaigdigan ngayon.  Bago pa man ang pagbubuhos ng Banal na Espiritu, kailangan nating makipagsundo sa Diyos at isuko ang ating mga sarili sa panalangin upang tayo’y maihanda sa mga gawain Nya.

                        Kumikilos ang Diyos kung tayo ay kumikilos at kailangan nating mabatid ang Kanyang pagkilos sa ating buhay.

GOD IS ON THE MOVE

Anytime a heart turns from darkness to light

Anytime temptation comes and someone stands to fight

Anytime somebody live to serve and not be served

I know, I know, I know, I know

God is on the move, on the move, Hallelujahn

God is on the move in many might ways

God is on the move, on the move, Hallelujahn

God is on the move, on the move today

Anytime in weakness someone falls upon their knees

Or dares to speak the truth that sets men free

Anytime the choice is made to stand upon the Word

I know, I know, I know, I know

God is on the move, on the move, Hallelujahn

God is on the move in many might ways

God is on the move, on the move, Hallelujahn

God is on the move, on the move today

Yea

I see a generation standing on the truth

In each and every nation God is on the move

Anytime the gospel stirs a searching soul

And someone says, “Send me, here I go”

I know, I know, I know, I know

God is on the move, on the move, Hallelujahn

God is on the move in many might ways

God is on the move, on the move, Hallelujahn

God is on the move, on the move today

I see a generation standing on the truth

In each and every nation God is on the move

NARRATOR          :           Kung ang Panginoon ay kumikilos sa kalagitnaan natin, ang kaaway naman ay gumagawa ng paraan para tayo ay magulo, magkawatak-watak upang mahadlangan at mahinto ang pagkilos ng Panginoon sa ating buhay.   

                        Kung ating naiintindihan kung gaano ka dakila ang Diyos sa ating buhay, ganoon din dapat tayo kapag nahaharap tayo sa mga pagsubok at pangyayari sa ating paglalakbay sa pananampalataya. 

                        Ang ating pananampalataya ay dapat na nababatay sa Salita ng Diyos at kung ating pahihintulotan ang Salita na tumagos sa ating espiritu, lalong lumalakas ang ating espiritu at buo tayong manalig sa Kanya.  Kung mayroon tayong pananampalataya sa kanya, binubuksan natin ang ating sarili na maglingkod sa mga pangangailangan ng iba. 

                        Kailangan nating makita ang Diyos sa ating buhay at kung sino sya sa atin.  Buksan natin ang ating mga puso’t isipan na dakila ang Panginoon sapagkat siya “ang Diyos na gumawa ng sanglibutan at ng lahat ng mga bagay na naririto, siya, palibhasa’y Panginoon ng langit at ng lupa.”  (Acts 17:24)

                       

MY GOD IS SO BIG

My God is so big, so strong and so mighty

There's nothing my God cannot do

My God is so big, so strong and so mighty

There's nothing my God cannot do

He made the trees, He made the seas

He made the elephants too

My God is so big, so strong and so mighty

There's nothing my God cannot do

My God is so great, so strong and so mighty

There's nothing my God cannot do

My God is so great, so strong and so mighty

There's nothing my God cannot do

The mountains are his, The rivers are his

The skies are his handy works too

My God is so great, so strong and so mighty

There's nothing my God cannot do

There's nothing my God cannot do

There's nothing my God cannot do

NARRATOR          :           Tayong mga Kristiyano, dapat nating malaman ang ating katayuan ng kung sino tayo sa kaharian ng Diyos sapagkat binigyan Niya tayo ng kapangyarihan.  Kailangan nating maintindihan kung gaano makapangyarihan ang pangalan ni Hesus. 

                        Ayon sa Filipos 2:10-11 “Sa pangalan ni Jesus ay iluhod ang lahat ng tuhod, ng nangasa langit, at ng nangasa ibabaw ng lupa, at ng nangasa ilalim ng lupa,  At upang ipahayag ng lahat ng mga dila na si Jesucristo ay Panginoon, sa ikaluluwalhati ng Dios Ama.”

                        Kung si Kristo ay 100% sa ating buhay, tayo ay makapangyarihan laban sa dyablo.  Alalahanin po natin na may limitasyon ang dyablo at ang lahat ng kadiliman dahil sila ay nilikha lamang. 

                        Ang ating pananampalataya ay dapat mas malaki kaysa sa takot.    Huwag tayong matakot na sumunod sa Panginoon kung saan man Nya tayo dadalhin.    Tayo ay manalig sa kanya dahil nandyan sya palagi para sa atin.  We should never doubt the power of God in our lives.

THERE IS POWER

Where two or more

Are gathered in His name

He is there

For all who come

Who run to Him in faith

He is there, there is there

There is power in the name of Jesus

There is power in the name of Jesus

There is power in the name of Jesus

There is power in the name of Jesus

No fear, no lie

Can stand against us now

He is here

The Word has come

To silence every doubt

He is here

There is power in the name of Jesus

There is power in the name of Jesus

There is power in the name of Jesus

There is power in the name of Jesus

One name, one name can save

One name breaks every chain

One name, always

One name, Jesus

One name, one name remains

One name, we will proclaim

One name, always

One name

There is power in the name of Jesus

There is power in the name of Jesus

                       

NARRATOR          :           Ang Banal na Espiritu ay hindi magsasabi ng anumang bagay sa atin na lumalabag sa Salita ng Diyos.  Kung ang Panginoon ay nangako sa atin, dapat nating asahan at tumayo tayo sa mga pangako at salita Nya. 

                        Kapag tayo’y tumawag sa pangalan ng Diyos at manatili sa kanyang mga pangako, ang ating buhay ay magsisimulang magbago.  Huwag tayong padaya at ma-ginulo ng kasinungalingan ng kaaway. Magsumikap tayo na manatiling tapat sa salita ng Diyos at labanan ang mga taong gustong baguhin ang Kanyang salita para maging angkop sa kanilang pang sariling kagustuhan. 

                        Tayo ay tumayo sa pangako ng Diyos at sumunod sa Kanya kahit ano pa man ang kasalukuyang hinaharap ng ating buhay.  Sa mga panahon ng kahirapan, siguraduhin natin na tayo ay nasa paligid ng mga tao na maaaring hikayatin at patibayin tayo sa Panginoon.  Ang tanging daan na matutunan nating tumayo Kay Kristo ay sa pamamagitan ng pagsasagawa ng kanyang salita upang tayo ay makatayo sa kahirapan ng ating hinaharap.   

STANDING IN THE PROMISES OF GOD

Standing on the promises of Christ my King,

Through eternal ages let His praises ring,

Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing,
Standing on the promises of God.

Refrain:
Standing, standing,
Standing on the promises of God my Savior;
Standing, standing,
I’m standing on the promises of God.

Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord,
Bound to Him eternally by love’s strong cord,
Overcoming daily with the Spirit’s sword,

Standing on the promises of God.

Standing on the promises I cannot fall,
List’ning every moment to the Spirit’s call,
Resting in my Savior as my all in all,
Standing on the promises of God.

NARRATOR          :           Kapag tayo ay patuloy na nananatili sa pananampalataya at di sumusuko, makikita natin ang paghahayag ng ating mga pangako ng Diyos sa pang araw-araw nating buhay. 

                        Tinawag tayo ng Panginoon ayon sa kanyang panahon at layunin.  Tayo ay nakatuon na sundin ang Diyos.  Hayaan natin ang ating sarili na gamitin tayo ng Diyos at maging handa tayo na gawin ito.  Sumunod tayo at mag desisyon at sundin natin ito upang matupad ang layunin ng Diyos sa ating buhay.        Habang tayo ay nakakarinig sa Kanya, hindi tayo dapat mag-atubiling kumilos sa Kanyang mga tagubilin. 

                        We have to get prepared for the great revival that God is about to allow us to experience upon the earth for “Heaven is coming down to earth.  Be ready.  Be aware, for the heavenly host is ready.” (Prophecy 4/20/16). 

WHEN THE SAINTS GO MARCHING ON

We are traveling in the footsteps

Of those who've gone before

But we'll all be reunited (but if we stand reunited)

On a new and sunlit shore (then a new world is in store)

Oh when the Saints go marching in

When the Saints go marching in

O Lord, I want to be in that number

When the Saints go marching in

And when the sun refuses to shine

And when the sun refuses to shine

O Lord, I want to be in that number

When the Saints go marching in

We are traveling in the footsteps

Of those who've gone before

But we'll all be reunited (but if we stand reunited)

On a new and sunlit shore (then a new world is in store)

Oh when the Saints go marching in

When the Saints go marching in

O Lord, I want to be in that number

When the Saints go marching in

O when the trumpet sounds the call

O when the trumpet sounds the call

O Lord, I want to be in that number

When the Saints go marching in

NARRATOR          :           Kung nais natin ang tagumpay, manampalataya at manalangin tayo, higit sa lahat, ay ang pagsunod sa mga utos ng Diyos na dapat natin gawin.

                        Nais ng Diyos na malaman natin na iniibig Niya tayo at ang ating pamilya.  Nais Niyang magtiwala tayo sa Kanya.  Naghihintay lamang siya sa atin upang maipakita Niya ang Kanyang kapangyarihang kumikilos sa atin.

                        God is proud for each and everyone of us but we must not seek personal glory for God’s miraculous works, instead, in all things, we must lead those who seek to God.  For “Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but to Your name give glory, because of Your mercy, because of Your truth.” (Psalm 115:1)

WE WANT TO SEE JESUS LIFTED HIGH

Verse

We want to see Jesus lifted high

A banner that flies across this land

That all men might see the truth and know

He is the way to heaven

Chorus I

We want to see, we want to see

We want to see Jesus lifted high

We want to see, we want to see

We want to see Jesus lifted high

Bridge:

Step by step we’re moving forward

Little by little taking ground

Every prayer a powerful weapon

Strongholds come tumbling down and down and down

Chorus II

We’re gonna see, we’re gonna see

We’re gonna see Jesus lifted high

We’re gonna see, we’re gonna see

We’re gonna see Jesus lifted high

-         THE END     -
