Written 6-25-20

As the day breaks,
The Son comes up.
As the roots go down,
the stem stands up.
As the Spirit grows,
his fruit shows up,
This is we grow
when watered from his cup.

The blood of Jesus
covers our sin.
He is the river
that washes our land.
He is the body
we enter in.
He makes our heart
beat again.

The fist of Lord
is ready to strike.
He’s about to come down
with all of his might.
When he makes contact
he will kill men,
but only the ones
who deny him.

Can you imagine
the fist of the Lord,
coming from Heaven
to destroy all that is abhorred.
In execution,
he knows just what to do,
to divide his remnant,
the Holy few.

But before he comes
a second time,
He will give everyone a chance
to abide.
“Repent for your sin,
and come back to me.
Follow my instructions
and learn your history.
Look to my Son
and follow his ways,
His blood covers
all of your stains.
Stop running away,
and turn back to me.
Give me your heart
and your chastity.
Worship my name,
with a hallelujah and amen.
Call me your dad,
and watch me stand.
Keep my commandments,
and listen to my words.
Choose to trust,
and stop twisting my words.
Pay attention
to who I am,
start looking forward
and stop looking back.
I’ve uprooted bitterness
so that you can see,
you are no longer oppressed
by the enemy!
Now hold fast to your faith,
I've gifted to you.
Be my servant -
and speak my word.
Take up my cross,
and I'll show you you're worth,
now starting spreading the my news
into the earth."

There is a false peace
that comes from humanity,
it's based on lie -
on false security.
You will not find my peace
inside of men,
who deny my truth
to push their own agenda.
So wake up and see,
Put on my eyes.
My Spirit divides
the truth from the lies.
If humans change
the image of me,
then run for the hills
and do not proceed.
They are a false prophet
who has come to kill and destroy,
The are hired by the enemy,
to be fully employed."

"You must learn about to discern 
My Spirit
You must know how to taste,
touch, smell, see and hear it." ​
If you can’t discern my Spirit
then you will not know,
how to save yourself
from Satanic blows.
Now listen to my words,
you are not of this world!
Your spirit is eternal
and it will be judged.
Decide today,
if you will follow my way.
Take a moment,
to sit and to pray.
I do not proceed
without giving ample warning -
So make up your mind,
Are you for Me?
I am coming soon,
to burn up the land.
I am coming soon
to finish the plan.
I am coming soon
to rebirth the wasteland.
I am making a highway
that leads straight to Heaven.
I am calling my remnant
to stand straight for me.
I have established a plumb line
that you can not see.
There is the cornerstone
that has been set.
His name is Jesus
and he has built my house.
He's cast his net,
and all who are mine
will swim to the mouth
 of the Great Divide."

Let's talk about
The Tragedy of Trauma

It’s really a terrible thing
to think about the travesties
that hurt our souls time and time again.

Twisted lies intertwined
with terrific obscenities.
Tortuous thoughts
thundering inside our heads -
causing our brains to bleed.

Basic hygiene hijacked
by survival mode instead -
compassionate care and kindness
becomes all but dead.

Red alert - All the time  
ringing in our head,
how could we possibly pay attention
to anything else instead?

Throbbing pressure pushing down.
Killer migraines embed.
Hallucinations replace our dreams -
waves of sanity thread.

If our body was on fire,
wouldn’t we run,
or would we take the time
to look around
and try to have some fun?

Wouldn’t we become delirious
and begin to bounce off the floor,
instead of doing as we should
and run straight out the door.

If we were shot and our killer was still chasing us,
would we stop to care for our wound,
or continue to run,
overwhelmed and totally consumed?

The answer seems so obvious
when our body is under attack.
But no one seems to understand
when our mental health slacks.

The person whose been scared
almost beyond repair,
will avoid the truth
at any cost
just so their life will be spared.

It’s the greatest form of delusion
a person can endure.
To know they are mentally ill
and feel like there’s no cure.

They will try to make a way
to live and just exist. 
Even when help is right in front of them -
they will continue to object.

If you make me face my fear,
you will send me to my death.
I will panic in distress
and lose my very breath.

Don’t make me look at the thing
that causes me such pain.
Are you trying to feed the monster
and give it strength again?

You want me to pretend
there is absolutely nothing wrong,
when on the inside
I’m about to EXPLODE!

I want to be free
from these memories,
but I don’t know what to do.
They come faster than I can think,
and become my very truth.

I am a slave to my own body -
the body that keeps the score.
How can I escape
when Trauma has made me his whore?

I don’t want to be married
to this thing anymore.
I hate how he controls me,
and rips me to my core.

If I could wish for anything,
it would be to kill this thing that's killing me.
I'm stuck in his grip, 
and I don't know how to fight back.

I want to escape,
the thing that I most hate.

​Help me. Heal me.
Make me right again.
Help me. Heal me.
Bring clarity to my head.

Listen to the bell toll -
Do you hear it’s ring?

When we die to self -
our freedom begins!
​
The pure in heart
are about to enter in.
They are being prepared
for God's Kingdom.

Freedom rings for God's children
who’ve been washed clean from sin.

Life, Liberty and Justice
is for for ALL who believe in Him.

Jesus is the truth, the life and the way.
It’s only through his precious blood that we can be saved.

TRANSFORMATION BY TRANSFUSION
Healthy blood
is what we need
to take away
the impurities,
and when his blood
enters in,
our spiritual heart
begins to beat again.
That's when
Holy Spirit comes to guide our way.
He tests us in the wilderness
to see if we will trust and obey.

Tempted in the wilderness -
is how he knows our heart.
Will we align our thoughts,
to set ourselves apart?

Liberty and Freedom
can only be found through Christ.
Chains cannot be broken
through our own device.

Man was made with a hole -
a longing for his Word.
Worship lies within the heart
that beats just for the Lord.

When Adam ate from the Tree,
he decided to follow his humanity
instead of honoring God's sovereignty.

This was a choice he could not afford,
he experienced more than he bargained for.
Sometimes it’s better to be content,
then to try to be our own Lord.

He bit off more than he could chew,
and instantly he knew
that he wasn’t supposed to.

But instead of manning up,
and taking responsibility,
he hid in shame,
pointed his finger
and began to blame.
As soon as he became aware of evil,
his life of peace suddenly changed.

This is what evil shows,
when the heart is exposed -
our misalignment from the Lord.

It’s like a shadow
that moves all on its own.
It’s a scary thing,
when our heart is exposed.

Since we are made in his image,
and have been given his own heart.
Shouldn’t we stay in position,
and not depart?

Instead of being God’s reflection, 
and waiting for his move -
we decide to use our free will,
to move to our own groove.

Seriously, how scary is this?
Think about it!
If your shadow started to move
while you were standing still,
Wouldn’t you freak out,
and yell, “What the fricking hell?”

That would scream pure evil,
so loud and so clear!
I would jolt up out of there,
and run away in fear!

But our God is not like us,
He understands so much more.
He created all that exists
a long time ago!

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 
Now the earth was formless and empty, 
darkness was over the surface of the deep, 
and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
And God said, 
“Let there be light,” and there was light. 
God saw that the light was good, 
and he separated the light from the darkness. 
God called the light “day,”
and the darkness he called “night.” 
And there was evening,
and there was morning -
the first day."
Genesis 1:1-5

Prior to Christ on Earth,
God gave us the prefect gift.
He gave us a hallelujah
and an amen to lift.

Worship was within us,
right down to the core.
But instead of being content,
we had to know more.

In our desire,
we ate the fleshly fruit.
It gave birth to sin
and rebellion started to root.

It started out as honey,
it tasted oh so sweet.
But as it went down,
bitterness pooled in our feet.

Adam looked at Eve,
and saw what he had done.
He saw that he was naked,
then he started to turn and run.

Humanity became the object,
upon which Adam defined himself.
God was no longer the center,
he was taken off the shelf.

Secular humanism
was intimately defined,
when humans 
became the apple of their eyes.

They believe destiny
is in their sole control,
and solutions come
when they know more.

Obsessed with our own image,
we stop looking at him. 
This is how fall even deeper
into our own sin.

We run around in circles
trying to find our way.
We build our own towers
while continuing to disobey.

We hold onto bitterness
instead of coming back.
We resent our Creator
for the heart that we lack.

We choose selfish desires, 
and make excuses not to repent.
We prefer a heart of stone,
to a heart of flesh.

This is the image that moves
all on its own,
this is the image of man
who refuses to wait upon the Lord.

This is the man
who knows it all. 
This is the shadow
of the man who is self-absorbed!

The Lord says,
"​Knowledge is what they seek,
but wisdom comes from me." 

The man aligned to the Spirit 
of the our Father God,
will reflect the Son,
and bud like Aaron's Rod.
 
He will not move,
until directed to.
He will hold onto his faith,
and stand firm on God's truth.

Scripture says
that freedom rings
for the pure in heart.
They shall see God,
and will never again be apart.

How is it possible
to have fellowship with God,
when you focus your attention
all on yourself?

When your world gets tough,
and you feel all alone -
That’s his invitation
for you to draw in close.

But all too often,
it becomes “all about me.”
Instead of being filled with his Spirit,
you fall into self-pity.

It’s the most horrific thing to see -
a faithful believer who focuses on “Me”

Internalized pride -
it’s a travesty.
We don’t even realize
how deceived we can be.

Overwhelmed by feelings,
all you seem to think,
“Is God if you loved me,
you would give me some peace.”

But what you fail to realize,
is that God is in control.
He knows what your going through,
and he still wants more.

He wants you to get out
of your own way.
He wants you to seek him,
and to trust and obey.

He wants you to draw in,
and come closer to him.
He wants you to let go
of all that separates you from him.

I believe this is the hardest thing,
because it defies our humanity.

Everything we’re feeling
is not always true.
It’s a soul condition
under Satan’s rule.

Its hard to focus in
on Gods Word
as the only truth -
when all we feel is lonely,
so angry and hurt.

It’s hard to replace our thoughts,
with his thoughts - when all we know
is that people are supposed to treat us well.

We can’t understand
why someone would do what they do.
How can someone treat us with so little ado?

God tells us to be angry
but do not sin,
and Jesus tells us to rest and not be weary,
by yoking ourselves to him.

“Rejoice in the Lord always.
I will say it again: Rejoice!
Let your gentleness be evident to all.
The Lord is near.
Do not be anxious about anything,
but in every situation,
by prayer and petition,
with thanksgiving,
present your requests to God.
And the peace of God,
which transcends all understanding,
will guard your hearts
and your minds
in Christ Jesus.
Finally, brothers and sisters,
whatever is true,
whatever is noble,
whatever is right,
whatever is pure,
whatever is lovely,
whatever is admirable-
if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-
think about such things.
Whatever you have learned
or received or heard from me,
or seen in me-
put it into practice.
And the God of peace
will be with you always.”
​

Philippians 4:4-9

Written 6/14/20

IN GOD WE TRUST
Is this motto a must?
Or has it become
a logo of lust?

“What do you mean?”
is what you might say, 
if you had a conscience
on how we should think and behave.

And I would reply
with a great sigh,
"god has become
whatever idol 
occupies your eye."

We put God on our money -
next to the eye of the Illuminati.

We stamp God on our justice system
that makes it right to kill unborn children.

We hold our banners high -
full of OUR OWN PRIDE!

We demand liberty
for scoffers who do not seek.

We remove God from our schools,
then wonder why our kids are acting like fools.

We demand our own way -
even when we've gone astray.

We say we will pray,
even though we choose to disobey.

We make up our own identity,
even though God has says
"Draw closer to me."   

Do we really believe
that God favors the American dream?
I believe it’s our greatest fallacy -
because we've put God on delete.

The Holy Spirit will not allow this blasphemy!

He is lifting the tent
to expose what’s inside,
and when Light comes in -
cockroaches will hide.

They will hide behind logos,
and lustful divide.
They will walk behind bigotry,
and the spiritually blind.

They will scurry and scatter,
while causing disaster.
They will show rebellion
until crushed by the Master.

God is not dumb.
He has intellect
beyond our wildest dreams!
I mean...
He is the designer
of human beings.

He knows our history,
and He knows the future mysteries.
Yet, we seem to think
that we know better than He!

We have turned God
into whatever we want to believe.
We have no idea
who He is,
or what his Word means!

We passively feed on
whatever the flesh
desires and needs.

Do you not see?

He gave us his body
so that we would not need.
His Word is like honey
for all who believe.

Oh God forgive us
for making you a false tent
to hide our Own Liberty!

Father God,
forgive us
for how easily
we are deceived.
Our soul is full of feeling,
and twists our belief.

Help us to trust your Word
when it goes against
everything we’ve been told.

Let Jesus be the example
for all who wish to do your will.
May we NOT hold onto bitterness
because it’s how the flesh will unfold.

Divine Rest
comes when you have been put to the test.
After you have endured
the lonely and barren wilderness.

Fasting and prayer
help you to digest
the sinister fiber
found inside the flesh.

Manna from Heaven
gives life to all who taste.
It’s supernatural food
that has no excess waste.

The Bread of Life
is broken away
from the fresh loaf
that is perfectly made.

The Word is Living Water -
it washes away
the mud of the enemy
that brings shame and decay.

The Blood of the Lamb
covers your post,
when the Angel of Death
is sent from the heavenly hosts.

The Sacrificial Lamb
took his first stand
when he covered your blood
with his right hand.

The Mercy Seat
was never meant for
you or me.
It belongs the blood
of our One and True King.

Aaron came from Adam
he was a humanly priest,
but Melchizedek
came from the line
of the Spiritual Priest.

Holiness comes
when we yoke ourselves to him.
Jesus is the essence
of who we are within.

His yoke is easy,
it only brings light.
He is the Son
who brings morning from night.

So just remember
when the enemy tries to come in.
Your true identity
​can only be found through HIM.  

Prayer for today:
Father God, may your light shine into this dark and barren world.
Father, we patiently endure the wilderness experience.  Help us to not walk in circles, chasing after the wind.  Help us to keep our eyes focused on the prize - the author and perfecter of peace - Jesus Christ.  We lay ourselves down in submission to you.  May we gain a pure heart and a new level of understanding through your Holy Spirit that resides within us.  Give us eyes on our back so we can see the enemy's attack.  Help us to detest the taste of the flesh - it brings no nourishment to our soul.  Quench our thirst with your Word, the Living Water that brings rivers of quench to our souls.  Give us the words to say to be a blessing this day to the lost and lonely who have turned away and gone astray.  We love you Lord.  
​Amen.
