The following was written after I was ministering in a children's service. I was led to explain "new creation" to the children using the caterpillar and butterfly analogy. I was segueing into the altar call when I was cut off and told to stop and do the planned game, a whisper game, that did nothing for the children at all. I sensed how grieved the Holy Spirit was and that grieved me. The "christians" present saw disobeying the Holy Spirit as "ministry". They don't even know him at all, and that grieves me. I see this as my number one priority in ministry for my next few years - introducing God's people, in name only, to the Holy Spirit, so they can truly become his people in deed also - doers of the Word, not just hearers. I want all who call on his name to be sensitive and obedient to him at all times...

That which I hate more than anything
is seeing God's children not following,
refusing to acknowledge or obey His will.
Of doing as they please - I've had my fill.
In service after service I see him ignored
and it's frustrating and it hurts me to my core.
I really, really, really despise
when Christians do not follow Christ.
The Holy Spirit is completely disdained
yet they do it all in Jesus' name.
The written word reveals God's general will
but only the Holy Spirit can daily fulfill
every desire he has, minute by minute.
We must loose the rein of our heart
and let him win it.
He must be submitted to, body and tongue,
every moment of every day,
for the victory to be won....

Why do you resist?
You kick against the pricks,
you persecute and attack me.
For when you do it to my followers
you do it to me, personally.

I'm gonna knock you down a notch.
That high horse? You're comin' off!
I'll blind you to this world's light
so you can receive true insight.
I'll call you to follow me
and you'll have this testimony -
you'll no longer be        a Pharisee.

I'll send you far and wide
but I'll always be by your side
and half the new testament you'll be inspired to write.
And my true enemies you'll fight -
spiritual beings intent on destruction.
You'll expose them through your instruction.

Many will know truth from your mouth and your pen
You'll bring deliverance to the people you now intend
to kill and jail.
You yourself will go to jail and be killed,
for you'll reap what you've sown according to my will
but just as you'll bring ressurection to the people you've slain,
so will I ressurect you by my mighty name.....

As If Your Life Depended On It

From lust you'd better stray
In fear and trembling you'd better pray
Every single day
as if your life depended on it...

From temptation you'd better flee
From every unclean thought or thing
A daily sacrafice to God you should bring
as if your life depended on it...

For you life truly does depend on what you do
If you don't let God's love completely transform you
Then in the end you'll lose your most prized possession -
your very own soul....
so don't hesitate to learn this lesson...
this thought, dwell on it,
flee from lust, as if your life depended on it...

You thought you knew
You thought you understood.
But to God you are a fool.
All the wisdom mankind has accumulated,
will leave them discombomulated,
on the outside of the city walls,
no wealth to show for it all,
unable to rise from their fall.
The wisdom of God, to man is foolish.
The wisdom of man, to God is churlish.
All you need to know
must be from God bestowed.
All true wisdom is hidden in Christ,
so without Him you're empty of true life
giving knowledge,
the kind that can save you from Eternal death,
the kind that only the Holy Spirit can confess...

Tebow Time

Down by ten with four minutes to go?
Hey, not a problem for Tim Tebow.
Keepin' that 'tude positive and upbeat
made dem Broncos hard to defeat.
Lotta people raggin' on the Tebow man,
they hate that he kept on winnin'
They really hate the fact he's on a mission -
They'd rather lose with an atheist
than win with a christian.
And that's never gonna change.
Some things will stay the same.
Win, lose or draw, some will always be haters,
while others got the love of God.
All Tebow does is expose the love
or the hate, as the case may be.
He's a catalyst God's usin'
to expose the real from the fakery.
Don't like it? Hey, don't come whinin' to me.
When it's all over and said and done,
the Tebow's of this world will be the ones
who've won it all at Calvary.....
