Consumed - By Junyah Quemado

8.10.09 - There is a CD I would like to recommend that I recently purchased and love the message these songs bring to the Church. The title of the CD is called “Consumed” and it comes from a youth movement called JesusCulture http://www.jesusculturemusic.org/ (you can find on iTunes) out of Bethel Chapel in Redding, CA. All the song are great on this CD but there is this song titled, “Burning One”, that just spoke tons to me.

Chorus and Bridge:

“We are Your burning ones

We are consumed by You

We set our live apart

We are consumed by You

Let this life be like a fire

Let our life be like a flame

Fill our souls with Your desire

Let our passion bring You fame”

I guess what I have been really developing in my faith has been a desire to be consumed or obsessed with God to a point where literally every day I wake up I ask, “What is my mission today Lord”. And not just to say it but to live it. I have been reading Acts and Paul’s’ Epistles and seeing what a life consumed by the gospel and by God looks like. I really want to know what His desire is and what it looks like expressed through me where He has put me.

Even more exciting is the power of His Church when each Christian can live a consumed life. I have to believe that when Jesus says His Church will be built on a rock and Hades will not prevail; it has to fire us up as Christians.

I know I can’t look at every single one of you in the eye and encourage you but for those who read this I’d like to say, “Come on! Keep going! Dig deep! Stand firm! Press on! It’s ALL worth it!”

Let your PASSION bring HIM fame!
