?My Lord Jesus Christ
I love You, I do
I can do nothing without You
I cannot stand on my own this day, I need You here with me
Not just for me, but for all of them I see
How can I help?
What can I do?
Not a single thing, successfully
If not for You
Jesus Christ You are my King
You are the reason I get out of bed each day
Because of You I pray
You have taught me much
I was out of touch
But You reached me
Now I am complete
Every day may You have Your way
I cannot but I know You can
You are are the Lord of lords the One with a plan
Abba Father I love You
I love all You do
It is all because of You
Now I can too
You sent Your Son
Because You love
I love You too
Not one leaf will fall from a tree
Not one blade of grass will grow
Unless You say so
Every atom is in Your control
This I do know
Life is a gift
Every breath
I am blessed
I cannot comprehend all of Your goodness
But each moment You give more I am blessed
Because of all You do
Please help me through
Please lift all those I see, each one of these
They are just like me
They are also blessed
If they are giving breath.

I live again
Life is a gift
More than I can comprehend
I love I do
Love is created in me
Also created in you
If I do not do what I was created to do
I fail oh oh I fail
So this day I will love

I have much to give
Much he gave me
So I will give it all away
In return I always receive more
Do you hear him knocking
Open up the door

He is King of all kings
He is Lord of all lords
He is my Savior
He is my Friend
He loves you so much
Please let him in
He will fill you full of Love
Abba Father sent him from above
He came to save all even you
Please let him through
Please let him through
I know he loves you too

He loves everyone
He is the Messiah

Life is a gift
A blessing its true
Please let him in
He is calling for you
Please let him in

Dear Angel,  

May this letter bring encouragement and joy to your heart and mind!

I consider you a “balcony friend”, which means that I sense you cheering me on in my growth and understanding of the great love that our Father and Jesus Christ has for all of us.  And it is such a pleasure to share with you all that The Scriptures teach me as I seek to know my Lord more fully!

In the finished work of the cross, Jesus saved all mankind in the Father’s eyes. (Sozo – saved, John 3:17, For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.(KJV))  Sozo, Greek word, means made safe and sound, preserved, protected, healed and made whole.  This is important for the foundation of Christianity is based on what Christ did for us on the cross and when He rose on High.  When we accept Jesus Christ as the Son of the Living God and ask Him to be our Lord by giving our lives to Him; then He brings us to a place of being in His image before His Father, as if we have never sinned.

“Colossians 1: 12,13, Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:  Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the Kingdom of His Dear Son.”  

These words are written in past tense; it is accomplished in Father’s eyes and His opinion of us is the only one that matters.  

” Colossians 1: 18-23, And He (Jesus Christ) is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things He might have the preeminence.  For it pleased the Father that in Him should all fullness dwell; And, having made peace through the blood of His cross, by Him to reconcile all things unto Himself; by Him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.  And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath He reconciled In the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in His sight: If ye continue in the faith (remember this word faith) grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister.” 

It appears to me from scripture, that this is a finished work, already accomplished and we are whole before the Father in holiness and righteousness because of Jesus Christ.  Did not the angels themselves burst forth from the heavens, at the birth of Jesus declaring,  Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men!!?  

The Gospel is truly the Good News!  Jesus preached the truth of The Kingdom of God being near and here.  Then He went about healing the sick.  He did not teach a prayer to go to heaven but presented His Father’s great love to mankind by coming Himself from His Father.  Our Living God came to us in the flesh of mankind.  He did not teach that mankind are saved sinners.  He taught that our sins were forgiven and removed and that because of Him, we are presented before The Father cleansed and holy.  He brought us back to where we were originally created to be all along, as if we have never sinned.  This is a new covenant that was made for us on account of Jesus Christ and all that He accomplished, in complete obedience to Our Father.  You see, we cannot make ourselves righteous by our own works.  We can all quote that these are just filthy rags to The Father, plus try as we may, we always fail to walk and live perfectly.  But our righteousness comes from Jesus Christ alone and we receive this by faith when we look to Jesus on the cross and in His resurrection.  

Again, I say the Gospel is truly very Good News!  As His children, we have now come forth from our Father in Heaven!  His laws are written on our hearts and in our minds! 

“Hebrews 10: 14, For by one offering He hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.”
“Hebrews 8: 10, For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith The Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts:  and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people.”

This is why we can come before the throne of mercy and into our Holy Father’s presence, because we are holy.  We are pure.  You and I are His daughters.  Simple and to the point.  Our job is to believe what His Word says about us and to rest in this Truth.  Jesus Christ is The Truth about who we are in Him.  And we receive the truth about how He sees us by simple, childlike faith.  Wow, we can do this!  And what is even more amazing is that Our Father enjoys us coming to Him, in praise and worship, in tears and anguish, in quietness, in dancing,  and even when we have missed the mark.  His arms are always open to receive us in love and in His pleasure.  Our Father sees us as the  children He created us to be.  The way that He always intended us to be when he formed us in His mind and heart before the foundation of the world.  This covenant truly is a new and abundant life as we walk as new creatures with Him.

There is so much more to say but I shall end this letter with the understanding that the Gospel is as simple as what we believe, we experience.  My next letter will explain why it is so important to see ourselves through our Father’s eyes.

Much love and blessings be upon you dear friend,

Your friend in Christ

Father in the name of Jesus, the Holy One of Israel.  Lord, we humble ourselves, Father we are your children.  We stand in authority today.  Lord, he is hidden among us, he is remaining unnamed, that we may have no power over him.  Lord, we ask that You join us this Saturday, that You join us right now, give us the Holy Spirit, that we can bind the tongue of Leviathan.  We bind the tongues of Legion, we cast out the strength of resistance, which is held in the spirit of vengeance, which is held in the spirit of anger.  We cast them out, in the Name of the Holy One of Jesus of Nazareth.  We will not fear these things, we will not be dismayed, You will strengthen us with the right hand of Your righteousness.  All that righteousness will increase, that which were increased against us.  They will be ashamed, even the unnamed, the spirits of darkness as nothing.  Even those that strive with us as vessels of iniquity, they will perish.  We will not find them, they will not contend with us as they that are against us they shall perish, we will not find them and they that are against us for You are God, and as You wrote, God will hold the right hand.  Not I will, but thee.  Father, You are with us, We stand humble, we stand in meekness Father, we’re asking forgiveness for anything, that may fight against the Spirit of Truth that is in us.  We too cast those things away from ourselves.  Many are coming, physically, Father we will stand in accordance with Your word, for all to see, for anyone to embrace as we will carry the Gospel and demonstration.

Father give us the Spirit of Truth, hold the tongue of the liar and the thief, he seeks whom he may devour, let him find no place here, we bind Beelzebub in the Name of Jesus.  As You wrote Lord, instrument having teeth through the mountains as the situations of anguish they have placed themselves in front of the children, Your children. Let Your word be true. Let those mountains be dissolved, let them be as chaff.  Release us from this bondage, from these unnamed spirits, we bind them in Your power and we give You all the glory.  We will stand and not faint, nor will we fear, for You are with us, Father we recognize your presence.  Bind all those things.  Let your truth be prevalent in our lives.  Take us over with the Holy Spirit, Lord.  We will be known by our fruit, and our fruit will be as You directed, as You anointed us to yield.  Father these  things we ask in the precious Name of Jesus Amen.

The Truth of Me~

/0 Comments/in /by

This human mask I loathe to wear.
This falsity, but under there
The lonely, sad and bitter taste
Of crushing pain, of rage and angst.
Bringing slowly to my knees
The truth of me that no one sees,
The little girl without a home,
This little one who inward roams
Without a hand or hem to hold
Who cries at nights long darkness ‘lone.

She and others fill my head
Where no mere mortal dares to tread.
My broken heart beats ‘neath my chest
As I seek a healing place to rest
To set my weariness down at last
And find the peace of no more past.
Must it be like this for me?
Must it be this falsity?
Is the only exit marred
With silver blade and skin that’s scarred?

Laying head upon the cold
Steel that causes soul to moan,
Will the darkness darken still,
Death of spirit, broken will?
Tiring as time ticks down.
On bended knees before the Crown,
Blood and teardrops dripping slowly,
Soul is searing, spirit moaning,
Begging mercy from the King,
Begging for pain’s sweet release.

Thy Kingdom Come~

/0 Comments/in /by

The time has come!
The lights dim low.
It’s here! It’s here!
The Luciferian show!
Pile in your bunkers,
you think it can’t touch you.
Soon you will be yelling
for the rocks to bury you!
So naively unaware that evil lurks within
the hearts and minds and souls of men,
who scorn the Lord, who curse at Him,
who wallow like swine in the mud of their sin.
When the Lord Jesus Christ comes again
they’ll chew on brimstone,
feast on flames,
and bow their knees to His glorious name!
For you shall do so either now or then.
You cant save yourself,
you must ask Him!
The only Son from Calvary,
who suffered and died to set us free,
descended to the depths of hell
and victoriously rang ‘ole Satan’s bell!
He arose again in skin and bone
before ascending to His glorious throne!
Oh ye who think you’re out of reach,
Death’s hard grip will rip you from sleep!
The Lord’s commands you refuse to keep,
ye wolves that stalk the holy sheep.
But when the Lion returns again
His kingdom come, victorious, and then
you’ll see the hill to Hades, to doom,
the crushing heat, the pain, the gloom!
Your father the Devil is waiting for you…
Listen! Hark! A trumpet sounds!
“Judgment! Judgment!”
Going down?

Crying, Abba Father~

My Lord, my Light, my everything,
You are my grace-filled, precious King
O Way, O Truth, O Life of mine
Within my soul Your light doth shine.

Teach me, Lord, to follow You
In all I think or say or do
To learn to die to self and sin
And from the ashes rise again.

Great longing for You engulfs my soul,
Your glorious face I long to behold,
Where is this family of which You speak?
My loneliness has made me weak.

Where are those who know Your grace?
I long to see them face to face.
To help me daily in my walk
and pick me up when I cannot walk.

O Lord, O Lord, my heart, it aches
To know my worth here in this place.
You’ve cleaved my marrow and my bone
Please,
O please,
Lord, take me home.

BROKEN ~ To Be Made WHOLE

/2 Comments/in /by

It’s hollow where it used to be,
The heart that beat inside of me.
I’m not at home within this place,
Swallowed in this darkening waste,
What used to be God’s beautiful lands
Now sick, decayed at the hands of man.
I hear, “You must complete the race”
As stinging tears roll down my face.
Take me home, Lord, I cannot stand
In this dark, infested, dying land.
Pills and blades and fists to wall,
Broken, I barely am able to crawl.
I don’t have it together and I’m not okay;
“Just give it to Jesus” they always say.
I give it a million times in a day
Still I struggle and fight to find my way.
“I’ll pray for you” comes to my ears;
I’ve heard that all my lonely years.
I appreciate the heart, I truly do,
Yet I never feel any closer to You.
I knock, I beg, I seek Your face
Yet here I stay in this broken place.
I don’t understand, I never have,
Struggling, suffering, broken, sad.
If I quit this race am I forever condemned
Though my love for You will never end?
Since I was a babe my heart was for You
It forever will be, even if fire consumes.

Happy Endings~

/2 Comments/in /by

?Who doesn’t like a Happy Ending?

The truth is I rarely watch TV anymore.  Mainly because I am so busy doing the “Momma” thing, while being in the ministry full time, I rarely have just a moment to myself.  With that being said…  I do occasionally in the evenings, try to do something mindless and unwind as I lay on the couch and turn the TV on before bed.  I do not like the News anymore, knowing most of it is not based in truth and is a set up for pivoting one person against another through blame, stirring up strife as to who’s fault this mess we are in is, in order to serve that person up on a platter of sacrifice and offering for the day.

Instead, I tend to gravitate to The Hallmark Channel – gotta love those pure love movies or some sort of Home Improvement Show.  I must confess to you my guilty pleasure of being a faithful fan of Dr. Phil.  He is so full of wisdom and loves Jesus and has a life laid down to helping others.  Therefore, I find a commonality he and I share in assisting the hurting.  He always says, “I will put some verbs in my sentences” and I too believe we can speak of freedom all day long, but if the person does not know how to walk out being free, it is often unfruitful.  Dr. Phil assists those unto completion, which I love.  In addition, my prayer life has grown exponentially over the course of time, as I intercede for those who are struggling in such a way.

Since I tend to have a constant and ongoing dialogue with Father, the other night I asked Him.  Why do I like these shows?  He spoke into my heart saying, “You like Happy Endings.”  I sort of giggled and thought to myself, yes I do.  At this point, I shut the TV off to spend alone time with just Him and ponder what He had shown me about me.  I love the fact that He knows us better than we know ourselves.?

He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.

Ecclesiastes 3:11

He began to speak to me of beautiful things and how we too are a divine part of His Happy Ending, as He put the Earth into motion, He aligned the stars and all that was encompassed about, He breathed His breath of life into all of His creation.  He does not make mistakes and all He does is perfect… We, being imperfect, He is forming us into the Image of His Son Jesus and therefore we too shall be perfect.  In His time.  When we give our hearts to Jesus, our life will follow.  What is so beautiful is that we then discover we know nothing, where before we thought we knew it all.  I love this part because I used to think I could handle my life, now seeing I can handle nothing in my own strength.  Not even ENDINGS.  Especially not ENDINGS.

Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Hebrews 12:2

We have all had so many losses in this life and with loss comes heartache.  For those of us who are IN the World, but NOT OF IT, there are days when we feel down heartened and hopeless, as if our HAPPY ENDING will never come.  The Lord reminded me our Happy Ending is not found in this World or even in our own time and even though He tarries, He is right on time.   He wants us to stop searching for that which can never be found on Earth, our Happy Ending is reserved for a time to come.  He was showing me how much of our frustration binds us down because we are still longing to have on Earth, only that which is gleaned from Heaven.

So why do I gravitate to these TV shows?  Because my heart is all about reconciliation and turning something broken and falling apart into something beautiful and fruitful.  Whether it be a broken down house or a broken down marriage or family dynamic, I am inspired to see the Lord working through love and design to make all things new.

He has been bringing to my remembrance lately of how it is in our place of brokenness we often seek to find Him more passionately and desperately.  This delights Him very much.  Knowing I do not have anything of worth to offer Him, it humbles me to tears that all He ever desires of me is to desire, Him.?

Jesus is our HAPPY ENDING.

And when we fully become one with Him again on that day, we too will share in our own HAPPY ENDING, as His beloved Bride who has denied herself all the happiness of this World, to gain that which is everlasting and pure…  The LOVE OF JESUS.

To give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness…

Isaiah 61:3

May the Lord Bless You Today in His Love with a Promise and Hope for a NEW BEGINNING in Him.?

In His Pure Love,

Stuck in bondage,

Feeling the weight… Of all the regrets, all of the mistakes.

Led around bound and tied,

To all our sins, all our lies.

A tragic life of misery,

All because we did not see.

We did not look,

We did not hear,

And now we’re led around in fear.

Did we not listen?

Did we not see?

The good Lord calling out to thee.

We looked, we heard, yet turned away…  Now we are led to satans grave!
