Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus, Selah

[taneksian]

Thank you beanscot for finding these verses and getting back to me so fast.

I appreciate it!

Can I email you if I should have other biblical questions??

[beanscot]

@taneksian You're welcome. Messages can be sent through YouTube.

[taneksian]

Can someone give me the closest verses in the Bible on which this song is based?

Thanks!

[beanscot]

@taneksian There are others but this is Hebrews 12: 1,2: Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

[SuperVip1234567]

amen

[beanscot]

@SuperVip1234567  Romans 11:36

For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.

[turtleluv93]

I have this on a Cd in my car. I listen to this on repeat; singng with them over and over. I love their melodies. It calms me.

[beanscot]

[estaryrai]

This face, His face, God's face, flashed upon my mind with eyes closed in one of my prayer time. Whatta day is it for me as i watched and see this beautiful video. (.08-.11, there He is, the face i've seen) Indeed, God conveys His confirmation thru this video that He was, He is and He will be, with me every moment of my life and listens to me in my private moments with Him! thank You God! thank you Jesus!!!

[beanscot]

@estaryrai Amen!

[gnc4Jesus]

Thank you so much for this great song and video!

[beanscot]

@gnc4Jesus You're welcome!

[lacbear4u]

@gnc4Jesus His face is analogous to His character. He dont know what jesus looks like and it doesnt matter. We are to look upon what Jesus has done for us and who He is in character.

[manny1851]

the best thing you can do is to turn your eyes upon Jesus

[beanscot]

@manny1851 So true. . . Thank you for commenting.

[SalvationIsFreeJESUS]

JESUS, JESUS, JESUS --- There is just something about that WONDERFUL NAME ---  Look upon JESUS --- not of the things of this world --- turn your eyes upon JESUS and the things of earth shall grow strangely dim in the light of HIS GLORY and GRACE!

[nwaikikai]

It irks me greatly that the chorus of this hymn is the only thing people seem to want to sing these days. The whole hymn is incredible! I think it is a great shame that most of this wonderful song is being forgotten. 

[beanscot]

@nwaikikai I just added the words to the hymn In the text accompanying the video. Thank you for commenting.

[RASHTG]

GREAT AND POWERFUL SONG

[316JOHNLT]

I love this song,

[beanscot]

@316JOHNLT Thanks for the comment!

[neta1963]

This is a song my mom used to sing to my girls every time we would visit her or she would come visit us. My youngest daughter still cries when she hears this has it remins her of her granny who went home to be with the Lord two years ago this Oct.

[beanscot]

@neta1963 In time it will be a most precious memory to your youngest. Thank you for commenting. It feels like you've shared your lovely mother with me and that's an honor and a blessing.

[julieification]

@neta1963 Thanks for sharing dear one. What a family reunion is awaiting all those who are heaven bound because of the great thing Jesus Christ did for us!! Your mother must have been wonderful.

[suriah2daniel]

I raise my eyes to you my Lord, I will walk with you Lord from now on...

[67goingthing]

Sang this song many times but never really grasped the meaning until I gave it all to Jesus and the things of this world are truly growing strangely dim. I can't wait till Jesus returns!

[beanscot]

@67goingthing Amen!

[SalvationEternity777]

And the things of earth grow strangely dim...

[beanscot]

@SalvationEternity777 Amen...

We are born into a world of nature; our second birth is into a world of spirit.

[MusicEqualsLife1293]

[melissaayers88]

[tineybaby012]

[beanscot]

[hilarioph]

[beanscot]

Thank you for commenting.

[beanscot]

Thank you for commenting.

[kjmom24kids]

I used to be a Christian...am not living that life anymore now though. You see, about a year and a half ago I ad brain surgery and I haven't been able to find or feel the Holy Spirit since then. So, now I just try to remember what it felt like, but can't always do that! But, I loved Selah then and still love them now! That I do know! TY for posting!

[beanscot]

I am so sorry about your brain surgery! The good news is that God is still God whether you can feel Him or not. He remains true and faithful even when we don't. If you ever placed your faith and trust in the saving blood of Jesus Christ, you became a child of God. He doesn't forsake his children. I know you didn't ask for help but if you can read or listen to God's word, pray, and seek His face, you will find Him again. You can't always trust feelings but you can trust the Savior.

[kjmom24kids]

Thank you for your encouragement! God knows my heart, and He also knows my life story! He wrote it! I'm just trying to find is voice again! Prayer for me is the very best thing you can do! Thank you!

[beanscot]

I have and will be praying! Thanks for asking!

[Hydermard]

A lost sheep looking for his shepherd is still a sheep belonging to that shepherd. Relax, calm down, kneel and tell your Father how you feel. Whether you feel it or not, God IS there. He said he would be. If it's alright, may I pray for you as well?

[CzaFIN]

Amen :)! It's not about your feelings. It's about God who wants to save you, you have only to admit that :)

[AlenaJolie]

When people are in a place of vulnerability, such as in surgery or in an accident, the demonic realm can be active. I do not know if that has occured with you but if you have not this, I would seek a strong minister or elders to lay hands on you and anoint you with oil, for spiritual freedom. That is scriptural and it is effective. Your brain is not what connects you to God. It is your SPIRIT. Please seek someone who walks in spiritual authority according to Luke 10:19.

[kjmom24kids]

It's true, I do feel I Was attacked by demons...I remember when it happened too! It was after my surgery when I was staying at a woman's place who takes in women who need a safe place to go...she is a Christian, but ther was something very heavy in that house...I discerned that from the minute I got there! I had told a close Christian friend...she has prayed, but I have also cut off my relationship with her...I know it's not God's will...I'm struggling for my "spiritual" life like never before.

[geolei2000]

hello!! i can emphatize with you. though i haven't had brain surgery. must be pretty tough going through that ordeal . but i believe that GOD is gonna do something great in your life.. really, i believe so. i am also a Christian and last year I had to battle my own demons to.. but i held on to GOD's promise found in the Holy Bible..

[geolei2000]

here are some of the verses that helped me and I hope it will help you too.. Jeremiah 29:11-13 "For I know the plans that I have for you", declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all of your heart."

[daddiespinkygirl]

Keep fighting for it. I admire you for being so honest with everyone. I don't think I could do that. I have a word of encouragement for you though. Romans 8:37. God gave this to me as a promise when my mom died and I was battling for freedom from my pain and sorrow.

[kinbigbird]

See (a fathers love letter) He dosnt judge you, He loves you.He was their and will allways will be their.

[Luv2CtheMouse]

I am praying for you. God is able!!! Cast your cares upon Him. He said if you draw near to Him, He will draw near to you. God bless you!

[Gavoora123]

@kjmom24kids God still loves you. Don't depend on your feelings which is the result of your brain function. Holy Spirit is the very God living in you and He can't be felt as one wishes. Pray to God throuh your saviour Jesus Christ. God will guide you. Don't be discouraged for lack of feelings as it's not promised anywhere in the Bible. The presence of the Holy Spirit is evident by the fruit one produces as written in Gal.6. Submit to God and His word and you will walk in light.

Dear lovers of the light, turn your eyes on The Mirror of the Word, for the oldest Psalm 23 says looking into the waters of reflection my soul remembers who I AM, discover yourself in the mirror of His word, you have always been a part of God, you are made of the God substance, Jesus himself being the foundation of your life, build on the Word of Our Father!

[gnp1]

thank you for being a blessing!!!!
