Longer - Dan Fogelberg - Bible Promises

In this video I wanted to select scripture passages in sequential order that also had some connection with each line in this beautiful song. Enjoy the journey!

DAN FOGELBERG
"Longer"
Longer than there've been fishes in the ocean 
Higher than any bird ever flew 
Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens 
I've been in love with you
Stronger than any mountain cathedral 
Truer than any tree ever grew
Deeper than any forest primeval
I am in love with you
I'll bring fires in the winters
You'll send showers in the springs 
We'll fly through the falls and summers
With love on our wings
Through the years as the fire starts to mellow 
Burning lines in the book of our lives 
Though the binding cracks 
And the pages start to yellow
I'll be in love with you I'll be in love with you
[Instrumental Interlude]
Longer than there've been fishes in the ocean
Higher than any bird ever flew
Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens 
I've been in love with you I am in love with you

How to Hear God's Voice - Tips

• To Hear God, you must first hear HIM through His word. Not only is this a breakthrough in prayer but the most important thing.... the path to an intimate relationship with Yeshua! You must begin to work your faith by believing what the word of God says.
You wouldn’t vote for someone not knowing their beliefs... you wouldn’t do something so important based on what a person looks like or how they dress... so too, it is important for you to Know who God is and what He’s about so that when He shows up, you’ll Know His character. You’ll Know the Shepherd’s voice! (Romans 10:17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.)

• You may come across teachings that seem right, but something ‘feel’s wrong’ about it. Ask God, to separate the wheat from the tares. Also pay attention to the fruit it’s bearing; ex: Does it incite ‘fear’? If it’s not applauded by the Holy Spirit within you, it’s not the same ‘Jesus’ you are seeking communion with (Leviticus 10:3). Remember the enemy comes in as ‘light’... he delivers a ‘half-truth’ here, one there.... pretty soon you’re falling into confusion.
The Shepherd’s voice... aligns with the Word, bears good fruit and He’s likely been telling you all along (if you ask Him a question, expect to receive the answer)... so the message would only confirm that.

• Examine your own thought life, realizing that thoughts come from yourself, the enemy or God. Hearing God takes self-discipline, because we must train ourselves in the word by what aligns with the character of God and take captive our sinful flesh and/or evil thoughts planted by the enemy. (2Corinthians 10:5-6 “Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.”)
