Look, I completely understand, it cannot be easy hearing
that something you’ve believed so strongly all of your life
is not something God taught or desired in His wife
There are times when the deception you’ve walked in
will leave you flat out astonished
but better a poor but wise youth than an old but foolish king
who will no longer be admonished!
Really, it’s much better to humble yourself
than to have God do it for you
Give up your resistance to the occupation of the Holy Spirit inside
Give up your preoccupation with all that is a lie
Give up all that comes from pride
Let the Holy Spirit examine all you’ve received and believed
And let Him prune from your existence all that has you deceived
May you be delivered at God’s insistence
From all that is of the devil or man
(the two work hand in hand)
May you be cleansed and renewed in the spirit of your mind
May clarity and purity of doctrine be yours time after time


Isa:8:5-9
Ecc:4:13


As The Lord began to open the eyes of my understanding, He showed me many churches and denominations haven’t been built on the proper foundation, haven’t been built by Him. He wanted me to be moved with compassion for ministers and ministries He is judging, weighing in the balances and found wanting. So He gave me a dream. In it, I was standing against the wall on the second floor of a very large room. I was there to observe what was happening. The floor was one big jig saw puzzle. Many people were panicking and running to and fro with no sense of order at all because the pieces were falling out of it, creating gaping holes. Some were trying to fit pieces where they didn’t belong, creating more panic and confusion. It was quickly becoming a huge mess and more and more dangerous and unstable. This is a picture of churches trying to hold themselves together even as God is tearing them apart. Remember Jeremiah’s call, he had to tear down and uproot before he could build and plant. If you have been walking in another spirit, if you have been growing up crooked, God will do whatever it takes to set you straight but it will be painful. And those of us God is using to help and heal those who need to be corrected must always be motivated by love and compassion. There are many currently in ministry that shouldn’t be and there are many that are not that should be.

I know enough to know I don’t know enough
Which is why I always write my theology down in pencil
I have to be continually corrected
As I’m being perfected
I’ll need The Lord to erase
What’s in place
By Pride and not Grace




Someone said I have a “Blind spot”
but I just can’t see it
Sometimes it is hard for us to clearly see
The true reflection of you or me
Which is why we must most carefully
Examine ourselves (not others) daily
We must look at ourselves in exactly the same way
We look at others each and every day
And if we’ll (love) look at our neighbours
As we (love) look at ourselves
Then in all things we will excel


1 Cor:11:28
2 Cor:13:5






“We must become as offended with our own sin as we are with anyone else’s. Then, everyone else’s won’t seem as bad.”

cries

felt more than heard
often the ache of a heart is reflected in the eyes
Turning yet another corner
These cold city streets
Nothing but hardness. Cement
Nowhere to repent
Wisdom lost her way in these streets
got lost
been looking
Church. not here
Rancid, roach infested room not here
pretended to find it at Joe’s corner pub
ah, but the cost
leave your soul at the door
for everyone to walk on
wipe their feet on
can the body but follow?
lost, these city streets
full of lost souls
comforted by other lost souls
hey, we’re all in this together
can’t be that bad
crowd mentality, so being lost is normal
Hell might not be so bad with so much company
Let the crowd take me where it will
We’re all sheep without a shepherd
And the wolves are full
fat no shortage of sheep here
fear
keeps us here
heart lamentations no examinations no real intimacy
God, can you hear me?

Lam:3:2-19 Isa:40:6-8

Cafeteria Christianity

You pick and choose
what’s good to you
Some Scriptures you are for
While others you ignore

You lean to your own understanding
Not what The Lord’s commanding

You reason away
Providing excuses today
For why you won’t obey
Some of what The Lord has to say

Stop resisting and start submitting
To all He tells you to do
And let Him teach you
And let Him take you
Far beyond what you ever knew

Our God is an all or nothing God
So stop cheating and start eating!


2 Tim:3:16


When God commanded the Pass Over Lamb to be sacrificed, He told us to eat all of it and what was left was to be burned. So we see all of it was consumed, either by the people or by the flames. Even so, Jesus, our Pass Over Lamb must be completely consumed by us, no part of Him, no part of the Word, is to be left uneaten. All His teaching, all His flesh, no matter how distasteful to our own flesh, is healthy!

Beware of Saviours bearing no scars
For we bear this Treasure in earthen jars
For to walk the walk that Jesus did
Is to allow oneself to be wounded

Love bears the scars of rejection and hate
Love believes all things, hopes all things, shows no restraint
But continues to hurt, to pay the cost,
For those who are still so lost

Beware of perfect people preaching perfect sermons
Never showing flaws
Never dropping the façade
Seeking our applause

How can they show us how to be real
If the Truth from us they continue to conceal?
The Truth that they’re hired hands,
Seeking the approval of man?
Running from the enemy as fast as they can?
Or worse yet, working with him, hand in hand?
