You're gonna have to retrain your brain.
You're gonna have to restart your heart.
Fill all that remains
with what you knew at the start -
the unconditional outpouring of love
a mother gives her child
is like the love your God
gives you all the while.
As a mother out of love
willingly suffered to give you life,
so did your God on the Cross,
the Savior, Jesus, the Christ.
His love is a womb,
a place of warmth and safety
wherein you can grow
and become who you were always meant to be -
a child of the Most High
God who loves you unconditionally.
Yet your mind's been lied to,
your heart's been deceived.
You're convinced God's love
has conditions and rules
you could never hope to achieve.
You think His love is
something to be earned
by not being a fool.
Satan whispers in one ear
"you have to b perfect and Holy to earn God's love"
while in the other he whispers -
"you're a failure - you've sinned far too much
for God to ever accept you, might as well quit, 
just go to church and pretend all is well, 
but pal, you're going to hell"

Precious one,
don't buy the lie.
God loved you fully before you ever loved him
and no matter how much you sin,
He loves you still, completely, fully,
for loving you is His will.

The Religious spirit is actually Satan disguised as a Christian. He wants to teach you how to be a Christian. He wants you to avoid the Holy Spirit at all costs. He wants you to never get baptized in the Holy Spirit. Never let the Holy Spirit inside you. Never obey him. Never speak in tongues. Never prophecy. Never heal the sick. Never raise the dead. Never cast out demons.
Evangelism is ok, as long as you lead them to the dead, lifeless form of Christianity Satan loves. Lead them to your church, never to Christ. Never lead them to the Kingdom of Heaven. Have them submit to and serve the Religious spirit and Satan is happy. Choose you this day whom you will serve - Satan or God? Whose spirit will you submit to? Who will you follow? It's decision time.

Relight me, reignite me,
living for You is all I want to do.
My life is worth nothing apart from You,
not worth my days, not worth my time,
unless I live for the One sublime.

Please inspect me, redirect me,
take me back to the place where You connect me
to your very heart, Your very soul,
the only place I can ever be whole.
Ah, Lord, my God and King,
stop me from wandering, 
from straying.
Make me, force me to,
remain deeply in love with You......

For some people, just getting out of bed and getting dressed each day is extremely difficult. I can only imagine the depths of depression they descend into. For them, getting out of bed is a victory. For them, going outside and meeting other people is a victory. For them, Jesus said "come to me all you who are heavy laden and I will give you rest". "I will carry your burdens for you - I will lighten your heavy hearts by bringing joy to them. My light will shine in the darkness of your heart and lo - you will find newness of life and purpose possessing your days. Set your mind on me, fill it with my Word - you will mount up with wings as eagles, you will delight in me as I delight in you and knowing me will become your chief desire. Oh weary one - hear my words, for they are my heart for you - let them pierce the lonliness and despair, let them guide you for I too have been lonely. Take my hand - I will lead you home, dear one.    
"Casting all your care upon Him; for he careth for you"

Unless a seed falls to the ground and dies it cannot bear fruit
It's the same with us - unless we die to fleshly pursuits
We will remain barren, unable to reproduce
As the firstborn among many brethren, Jesus taught us this
When he died and was buried then rose to eternal bliss
As the second Adam he's the progenitor of a new race
Able to fellowship with the Father and meet him face to face

In fact, the same example was set by Joseph
Who died to his old life when thrown in the pit
Then rose to bear much fruit from worldwide promenance
Much fruit indeed, for which our Lord has been the source
His body has been the soil from which we have all sprung forth
But unlike the first Adam, Jesus is obedient and wise
And so remains in fellowship with his Father in paradise
We too are called to bear fruit unto his name
The call to Christ and the call to us is exactly the same
If you want to prove to the Lord your everlasting worth
Then let the soil of your heart be found to be good earth

His Word is the seed by which many believe
But it first must be planted in us deeply
And then bear fruit in our soul and life
Before others eat of it and it tastes right
The Word in us must come to maturity
It must ripen before it tastes sweet
Though at all times it remains anointed indeed
It's better if it matures in our hearts before they eat
