Religion vs Relationship - 05/05/2018 -

From where is it that your beliefs stem?

Some things you were taught, you just go with them?

Your parents say, "this is how it is, just follow through."

Your grandparents say,"don't ask, just do!"

Don't ask questions, don't disobey.
Follow our path, don't you stray!

You might have been told God is waiting for you to fall.

Onto the next one, you've dropped the ball.

You might believe you've done too much wrong.

Perhaps, that He's forgotten you. You've been away far too long.

Do you feel as though you are tethered with bonds?

Just a piece in the game, one of religion's pawns?

I'm here to tell you that just isn't true.

There is a better way, a wineskin that's new.

He chose you before the foundations of Earth.

He knew everything about you, before your birth.

God loves you, and He still speaks.
It's intimacy and relationship that He seeks.

There is purpose in the things you endure.
God is love, His intentions are pure.

Through trials you face, your character is molded.

He must deal with some things as your destiny is unfolded.

We've been appointed to heal the sick, raise the dead, and cast out demons.

We are called to worship and pray all kinds of prayers, for all kinds of reasons.

There is an enemy and he seeks to devour.

But the Kingdom is at hand in Spirit and power.

The Bible says snakes and scorpions are under our feet.

When you know who you are and your authority, they must admit defeat.

We are commanded to go into ALL the 

world and preach.

Not gather once a week to sit and listen to someone teach.

You are to love your neighbor the same as you.

Instead you turn them away for the sins they do.

With fingers in ears, you don't want to hear it.

Religion is real, and it's disguised as a spirit.

The religious spirit hiding in churches today

Is the very same that sent Jesus to his tomb to lay.

No matter if you are a preacher or on death row.

God loves you more than you'll ever know.

I say these things to prick your heart.

You could say, I'm just "doing my part."

I urge you, come run with me, be free!

For now we know that relationship is the key.

Sinner or Saint? - 04/08/2018 -

Are you a sinner or are you a righteous one?

Are you concerned with holiness or just having fun?

Do you see righteousness as a gift you receive?

Or something in essence of a goal to achieve?

Do you trust and believe in the Word of God?

Or does it contain stories you just find odd?
Will you rise above, and do what's best?

Or will you follow suit, like the rest?

Do you see yourself as one who will mount and fly higher?

Or perhaps, one who deserves all but flames and fire?

Do you think you are a lost cause?

Or one who is just, and upholds laws?

Do you view yourself as one with blood on their hands?

Or someone with purpose, part of God's plans?

Do you believe you are destined to fall?

Discounting what He did to save us all.

So again, are you a sinner saved by grace?

Or a righteous Man,  with steps in place?

Yahweh - 03/24/2018 -

I am Yahweh, the one true God.

When I speak through others, do you find it odd?

Is the Bible just stories full of marvel and mystery?

Or is it actually part of Human history?

I am still a God of miracles and power!

I still come through in the 11th hour.

I am the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Can you fathom this, or are you too clever?

I have sent my prophets to speak and open your eyes.

Yet, you discount them, and entertain lies!

No matter if you have offense, or are just plain annoyed.

My words are still truth, and will not return void!

Wake up! Turn from your wicked ways!

Can't you see we are in the End of Days?

I want all to live, none to perish.

Don't you know that it is relationship I cherish?

I will give you love, joy, peace, and so much more.

I want your heart, it's all I long for.

You are my child, I desire your love.

Just say yes, and rise up above.

I'm standing here with arms open wide.

Come my Beloved, and in you I will abide.

Time is of the Essence -02/26/2018 -

How is it, that you spend your time?

Wandering around, without reason or rhyme?

Are you worried about rushing here or there?

What you'll put on, or how you'll style your hair?

Will you remember to stop and smell the flowers

Or is your mind consumed hour by hour?

Worrying about, what's ahead or behind.

What is it, really, that's engrossed your mind?

Maybe, discussing the latest gossip you'll leak?

Perhaps, fathoming pleasures of this world you seek

Or do you think of more eminent things?

Like prayer, the Bible, a relationship with the King of Kings.

Will you pursue a perfect love, like no other

Or are you content with finding love in each other?

Do you long for marvels and mysteries untold?

Or will you fall prey to ideologies of Men in the Days of 'Ol?

Your mind may be wrapped up in what car you'll drive, or maybe even your career.

I ask you Beloved, please lend me your ear.

Listen carefully, to these words I proclaim.

For all one knows, they could set your heart aflame.

Will you devote time to the One who is worthy, and gave it all?

Or are you too immersed in building a kingdom, that will surely fall?

Question of a Lifetime - 12/20/2017 -

If you could ask God one question, what would it be?

Perhaps you'd inquire of all the homeless and hungry you see.

You might ask, why all the war and terror?

Or along the lines of, what have we done in error?

Would you ask of his marvel and wonders?

Maybe, the reason Humanity increasingly sunders?

Imaginably, something like how deep is the ocean?

Moreover, what puts the waves in motion?

You might inquire of the number of stars.
Or to know, once and for all, if there is life on Mars.

Perhaps, you'd want to know of something more.

Maybe, of the time and day we will soar?

You might question the call, and how we'll hear it.

Or make inquiries of the seven Spirits.

Perhaps, you'd ask the importance of the scroll?

Or in the grand scheme of things, what is your roll?

Would you ask to see New Jerusalem, in all of it's beauty?

Or while living in the Kingdom, what is your duty?

Take some time to think a bit.

With much pondering, conjure it.

What have you got to lose? Go out on a limb!

Set your heart, and just ask Him.

How Big is Your Yes? - 12/2/2017 -

How big is your yes?

Would you give up more, and settle for less?

Will you tell of His love, near and far?

Set your sights beyond the bar?

Will you give your neighbor a helping hand, and tips?

Are you willing to sever some relationships?

If asked to do something hard, will you give Him resistance

Or do whatever it takes, to go the distance?

Would you give up the job, that you so desire?

Or humbly walk through the flame and fire?

Would you sell all that you own, and move out of town?

Will you do what it takes, to lay it all down?

I have and will, but I digress.

I'll ask you again. How big is your yes?

The Garden - 11/20/2017 -

Father, take us back to when we first loved you.

Back when your glory, peace, and love was all we knew.

How far, we have wandered.

How far, we have strayed.

We would still be there, if only we hadn't disobeyed.

How has it come to this? How can it be?

Have we really forgotten, that you are the key?

Are we so dull, that we have repressed our first love?

Have we truly disremembered our Father, up above?

Awaken our hearts! Shake up our lives!

Perhaps, then we will realize.

You are god of everything, great and small.

All-knowing, all-powerful ruler of all.

Take us back to when it all began

Back before the great fall of man.

We'll sit and listen as you tell of your day.

We have plans to discuss, we have much to say.

We will walk hand in hand, reminisce days of 'ol.

What do you say, Father? Let's take a stroll.

Come Home - 11/14/2017 -

Why are you running? Have you not heard my call?

Come back to me! Come back, before you fall.

I don't care where you've been, or what you have done.

I know you're "doing things your way", you're "just having fun."

Playing into his hands, falling into seduction.

You're on a dangerous path! One of death and destruction.

I'm patiently watching and waiting up above.

My arms are open and full of love.

I've got a ring for your finger, a robe for your back.

I'll give you all you need, anything you lack.

Just admit defeat, give it all up.

Come home to me child, and together we'll sup. 

Abba - 11/09/2017 -

God, you are a good, good Father.

You always have time, I'm never a bother.

Listening to me so intently

You love me, ever so gently.

In your hands, you hold all time and season.

You chose me, without rhyme or reason.

You've created everything both near and far

Showing in great measure of who you are.

All-knowing, all-powerful God of the universe

Yet you sit and listen as I rehearse.

Correcting my path, this way or that.

Never leaving me to wonder, where you're at.

You are the potter, I'm the clay on the wheel.

Always refining me, no matter what I may feel.

I love you, because you loved me first

Even when I was at my very worst.

You were with me, way back when.

You've always been there, through thick and thin.

You are omnipotent, God almighty.

Yet, you still make time for little 'ol me.

Jesus - 10/31/2017 -

You are my shelter, where I run to hide.

The one in whom I faithfully abide.

You are my strength, when I am weak.

I wait and listen when you speak.

I stand on you, for you are my rock.

You are the key, and I am the lock.

You are my vitality when I am weary.

My life, when things seem dreary.

You are the way, when I can't seem to find my own.

The answer to all great things unknown.

You are my hope, when none remains.

The healer of many pains.

You are the truth amidst all the lies.

The astute, among the wise.

You are the healer of the broken.

The voice, for words unspoken.

You are the lover of my soul.

The ink, unto my scroll.

You are the wind beneath my wings.

Jesus, you are my everything.

A Journey For Truth - 10/26/2017 -

I can see my purpose, I have heard the call.

I'm completely surrendering, once and for all.

You know, I tried life my way.

Getting it wrong, day after day.

Always doing things her way or his.

All the while wondering, "is this all there is?"

There has got to be more to this empty life 

That is so full of anger, distress, hurt, and strife.

So I began this, elongated, journey for truth.

The one I had started long ago, in my early youth.

I began associating with the sharpest of minds.

Discussing numerology, astrology, and historical finds.

We would gather 'round and ask, "what's the topic for today?"

Someone said, "let's talk about Jesus and the price he would pay."

I didn't really care for, or have much to say about the decision.

However, I sat and listened to all the "dos and don'ts" of religion.

Halfheartedly listening, taking this time for granted.

Little did I know, seeds were being planted.

I remember thinking, there has got to be more

Coming from deep within, my heart longed for.

Some time had passed, and I was invited to this place.

One that spoke of a Heavenly Father, perfect love, and a saving grace.

I thought, this is it! My search has come to an ending.

Man, was I wrong. This was just the beginning.

I began to learn about the prophetic and the fruits of the Spirit.

Oh, how my heart yearned and longed to hear it.

I soon came to realize it wasn't about "dos and don'ts", or any other doctrine fodder.

It was all about relationship with our Heavenly Father.

My God! Many are spouting and teaching a lie!

How had Christianity gone so awry?

This stops here! It's gone on far too long!

Someone has got to tell them that they've got it all wrong.

They've got Apostles, Prophets, and Teachers to place.

She must be without spot or wrinkle by the end of the race.

We've got to put away our differences and our pride

To obtain the title of holy and blameless 

bride.

We are to act as filters of perfect love

That we receive from our Heavenly Father, up above.

Understanding the knowledge of who we are in Him.

Shining our light, never allowing it to dim!

Lay your life down, take up your cross.

Let's band together, and show that 'ol devil who's boss.
