Satan spoke to me this morning and he said "How could you follow someone who let me cause Job so much suffering?"
I say -
Satan I rebuke you - get behind me
From my voice you will flee
For over you I have authority
So do not continue to speak to me
Everything you say is a lie
To twist and pervert you try
You may quote God's word yet
But it's always to misinterpret
It's never for our good we musn't forget
You try to foment unrest and rebellion
I resist you, you lying hellion
With my Jesus I'm completely satisfied
You won't get me to despise him though you've tried and tried and tried
You've been totally beaten
You're far under my feet and
The dust of the earth is what you're eatin'
I won't receive anything you say
Your destiny is Hell and that's where you'll stay...

In Church -
Some are too silent
Some are too loud
Some are too humble
Some are too proud
Some are too late
Some are too early
Some ingratiate
While some are too surly
We all need balance in all we do or say
For balance is the path to maturity.

Don't take doctrines and make idols out of them
Conversely don't reject the Holy Spirit's acumen
Don't go too far in either direction
in either accepting or rejecting them.
Test the spirits to see if they're of God
Don't just reject a teaching because it sounds odd
Always seek to draw attention to God not yourself
Care for His family and God will care for yours as well
Always seek to make his name famous not your own
And don't seek to bring souls to church but rather before his throne...


"You can't choose who you are when you're born
but you can choose who you are when you die"

Some days

Some days are meant for doin' nothin tat all
Lying in bed with a good book or hangin' with a pal
Curlin' up on the couch watchin' a good movie
Just being close to you is quite alright with me
Takin' a walk out in the sticks
Spreadin' a blanket for a picnic
Doin' a BBQ
or toastin' a marshmallow or two
Goin' to the spa
and just lyin' there aaaahhhhh....
Some days are meant for doin' nothin' strenuous at all...
Just restin' and relaxin'
with nothing much of anything happenin'
I can hear that book callin'
so I'm gonna quit stallin'
I got nothing at all to lose
by kickin' off these shoes
The chores'll have to wait
cause it's one of those days........

Woe is me for my hurt!My wound is grievous!
Truly this is a grief and I must bear it.
Oh God, this wound cannot be healed
For it is here to remind me of what you've revealed
The pastors are become brutish, they are without understanding
They have not sought you, Lord, they do not obey what you're commanding
The flocks are now scattered into a thousand denominations
Swallowing doctrines that cause abominations
They mix the Holy and the profane
and they call upon you in vain
There's too many Saul's running the show, (and not enough Paul's)
too many Korah's who think they know
They resist your Spirit at every turn
when, oh my God, oh when will they learn?
It can be so hard, this burden I bear
I'm so alone without anyone to share
So many are blind and deaf and lame
Living fruitless, powerless lives to thier shame
Fully believing they're honoring your name
The don't even know the reason you came
Salvation from sin is half the gospel
You saved us to make the impossible possible
A miraculous life is our Divine inheritance
to emulate exactly the life that Jesus led
To always do and say what the Father does and says
This is the anointing available to the Bride that Jesus wed....
