You can trust again
For you have been healed
of the wounds of a friend.
Though the memory will remain,
it will do so without pain,
For my love has overwhelmed you,
My arms and my heart have held you
so close, my child, so near,
I could count every tear...
And even as you wept,
I have kept
                      your soul in my care,
Child, I have always been there.

At times your wounds
keep you from seeing
how near I am to you.
Doubt and unbelief,
they compete
for your soul's affection,
drawing you away from
My protection.
At times your pain
forms a wall around your heart
that keeps us apart -
Though i am with you,
even to the end of the world,
your back is to me,
when you are focused on your pain
and not my face...
Your joy is then replaced
by grief....

Turn and behold My face -
See the love? In my eyes?
In my presence there is no trace
of the shame you suffered from their lies,
when they rejected your love
for I have accepted your love.

My child, I am so proud
of how, even now,
you are receiving these words of mine -
Do not cease to partake of
My bread and my wine....

I ate the bread of your affliction
so that without contradiction
You could eat
                        what I am now revealing,
     - the bread of healing...

Simply turn, turn and I will mend
and you will learn.......     to trust again.....

The Lord's lament

I saw you on Facebook messenger.....again
Why is it so easy for you to spend
your time on social media,
    .....all the while ignoring me, ahhhh,

I miss you
I miss your face
as you pause to pray,
as you read my Book
Instead you're hooked
on Instagram,
Don't you understand?
I want you
........to spend time with me
not downloading
what the world finds lovely.
Come to me      and live....
Face Me
Don't disgrace me
Chase me
                    and I'm yours
if you'd only pursue
Me as much as you
desire your "friends"
who in the end
cannot save -
Come, spend time with me today-
Put down your phone,
I'm always home
waiting for your call
And that's really all
I came to earth to do,
spend time with you.
Share your heartaches,
Share what you celebrate,
Share your time,
Share your mind
with Me.....
My reward...
          is eternity......

Rewire me

I can't overcome my enemies
till I've been overcome completely
I can't live until I've died.
No, I can't defeat my enemy
till I've defeated me                     inside

I have to win this war on the inside.

This war is ancient
This war is new
This war is ever present
within me and you.
This war will not stop
till I've died to self,
given all I've got
to my Savior who keeps me from hell.
The battlefield is my soul
but my only defence is to bow low
before my commander-in-chief
who pardons me to my great relief...

Rewire me Lord
Inspire me Lord
To obey is better than sacrafice
The prodigal son's older brother got it right
(except he should have rejoiced when his brother came back to the light)
Rewire me - teach me to be -  like Christ

You turned my test...
                         into a testimony!
You turned my stumbling blocks...
                         into stepping stones!
I'm no longer destitute.
I'm no longer lonely,
cause in You Lord I've found my home...

There's nowhere You don't care for me,
there's nowhen You don't send blessings
No matter where i go, no matter what i do,
Your love remains faithful and true.

El Shaddai, my Adonai -
with You my soul is satisfied!
My Yeshua, my Abba, my Ruach ha Kadesh,
in You my heart is eternally blessed!
That is why I can't help but confess -

You turned my mess into a message!
You took my faults and made me faultless!
You took my debts and stamped them "paid in full"
Oh God! I'm so thankful!
My death is now void and null...
...because of what You did in the place of the skull.

Now daily my heart feels Your pull,
to enter in fully to
Your Holy Spirit's school
and learn all i can from You,
My Alpha,
                           My Omega
My idol breaker,
                            My jealous One,
who will not share me with another
My firstborn among many brothers,
these words of mine will never end,
because You, my Lord,
                                             call me friend
              

It only takes one stone
to knock that giant off his throne.
It only takes one touch
from the King of kings
to quite literally change everything.
It only takes one word of prophecy
to completely alter your destiny...

That stone that defeats your Goliath,
is the corner stone - our mighty Messiah,
alive inside us -
       the stone the builders rejected,
       in your heart accepted.
That king of whom's touch i speak of,
is the King whose kingdom is built on love.
The prophecy of which i speak,
is "Come to Me, all who are weary, lowly and meek
and I will give you rest.
I'll be with you in the midst of every test.
I'll not leave you, nor forsake you.
I only want you to be blessed.
So turn,
             turn from your wicked ways
and follow Me      and agree
                                        with all I say....
And you will preserve your soul blameless
in these last, dark, desperately wicked days.

My Word, in your heart, must reign supreme,
not just be counted among a steady stream
of words spewed forth from the mouths of men
whose lives are given to fornication and other sins.
Their words are rooted and grounded in pride.
Eating them will cause your spiritual suicide.

Keep yourselves, My little ones,
from the lusts, and the pride
that comes from the heart of the father of lies.
I have warned you of this many times,
do not mix        the holy and the profane
Yet still too many cannot see
what to embrace and what to disdain.

I am raising and releasing fathers
who will only proclaim
The words of My mouth
that bring honor to My name,
not to their own, not to fleshly glory or callimgs...
Frankly, so much of what i hear is appalling...

Little ones, come apart
flee from the coming wrath
by staying on the narrow path.
My Father's soon coming judgements will bring to fruition
Babylon's total collapse -
till not one stone is left upon another,
till even the stench of her dust
is no longer found on the feet of My lovers.....

Come, hide in the cleft of your rock,
your rock of your salvation,
while I judge the sins of this wicked generation.
Do not fear nor tremble nor shake
when you see an increase
in storms, plagues and earthquakes.
Great confusion shall abound
but in Me shall great peace be found....

Remember - I spoke of these things before,
that you would be prepared and forewarned-
For you are now living in Mathew chapter 24

Those who endure with Me to the end
are the ones My Father's given
whom I call My friends.....
I am so proud of you!
I speak of you often to My Father,
who is even now preparing a great feast
for the hungry poor, the lowly and the meek,but
the humble ones    who have learned
how to wash My feet,
for as you have done it to the least,
you have done it unto Me...
And in this , My children,
                                    My Father is well pleased...
