SPEAK TO YOUR SOUL

by
Rebecca Cooley

(Adapted from John 12:27-28)

Do you think Jesus was ever troubled and distressed? He was. How did He handle it? He spoke to His soul and made it align with truth.

Speaking of His death, Jesus said, My soul is troubled and distressed. But what shall I say? Should I say, Father, save Me from this hour of trial and agony? But it was for this very purpose that I have come to this hour that I might undergo it. Rather, I will say, ‘Father, glorify, honor and extol Your own name!’

Jesus spoke to His soul and told Himself that the very purpose of His life on earth was to come to this hour of trial. As soon as He verified this truth and His soul lined up with His spirit, His Father spoke to Him, ‘I have already glorified it, and I will glorify it again!’

Jesus was not about to let His soul dictate what His flesh would do. He spoke truth to His soul and caused His soul to align with it. When He did this, His Father spoke to Him! Our Father will do the same for us! He longs for us to speak to our souls and align ourselves with truth so that we may hear His voice.

Father, I speak to my soul this morning. I place myself in kingdom order and I accept the trial I am facing right now as a stepping stone to the next level of my life. I do not ask You to remove the trial. It is for this purpose that I must go to a new level in You. Thank you for insight and revelation. Thank you for victory over this trial and not deliverance. I am not the vine. I am the branch. I am not the teacher. I am the pupil. I am not the parent. I am the child. I am not the employer. I am the employee. I humble myself under correction. I overcome by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of my testimony. My testimony this morning is that I have spoken to my soul and brought it into submission to Your word. I truly expect to hear Your voice today.

RATHER I WILL SAY

Devotion: Speak to Your Soul

(Adapted from John 12:27-28)

Verse 1:

Now my soul is troubled and distressed,

What shall I say, Father save me from this hour?

But it was for this very purpose that I have come to this hour

That I may undergo it

Rather I will say,

Father glorify, honor and extol Lord, Your name

Then there came a voice out of heaven saying,

I have already glorified and I will glorify it again

Verse 2:

As we travel through trouble and distress

We’re not gonna stay, we’re just passing through

We give the Father praise with every word we say

We have fresh perspective, We won’t be dismayed

Chorus 1:

Rather I will say, Father glorify, honor and extol Lord Your name

Then there came a voice out of heaven,

I have already glorified and I will glorify it again and again and again and again

I will glorify it again

Chorus 2:

Rather we will say,

Father glorify, honor and extol Lord Your name

I can hear a voice out of heaven,

I have already glorified

And I will glorify it again and again and again and again

I will glorify it again
