Like Dogs of the Wild

Like dogs of the wild
They tore at Your flesh
And plucked out Your beard
In a frenzy for death
Unsightly, disfigured
By hands cruel with hate
Was it sane that these actions
Their hearts could elate
Barbaric, demonic
Unthinkable deeds
Yet allowed by the Father
To meet all our needs
These atrocities caused
By our fall from God’s grace
And love made You suffer
And die in our place
All the powers of darkness
Rejoiced at Your pain
Determined to kill You
But You rose again
Now they tremble in unbridled
Anger and fear
Knowing You’ve won
And that judgment is near
At the time that’s appointed
All creatures shall bow
And confess You are Lord
And Yours all the power

Throughout Life’s Path

Throughout life’s path You’ve walked with me
And oft’ through harsh terrain
And often I have wandered off
An easier route my aim
And patiently, in infinite love
And grace beyond compare
You waited until I returned
And led me on from there
At times I’d grow too weary
To stand on solid ground
Then You would fill me with Your strength
When no-one was around
And through the years Your steadfastness
Taught me to trust in You
Whatever obstacles I face
In all I say and do
And daily I grow stronger
As I learn to trust You more
For no good thing will You withhold
Of this much I am sure

From the Fullness of His Grace

From the fullness of HIS grace we have ALL received one blessing after another.
Sometimes we’re just too busy complaining about the problems in our lives to even notice the constant blessings of GOD. Sometimes we even wonder where He is in our time of need, when we seem to have no answers. The truth is, He’s never left us for a moment. He is constantly thinking about us.
Psalms 139:17-18 says: How precious to me are Your thoughts, oh GOD! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them they would outnumber the grains of sand.
When I awake, I am still with You.
The truth is that if you’re looking for a life of roses, you should expect the thorns. GOD never once promised an easy ride, but He did promise that when we pass through the rivers, they would not pass over us; and when we pass through the fire, we would not be burned. Trials build our character and our faith. They teach us perseverance through anything that life throws at us. As long as we keep our focus on Him, He will bring us through and lift us to higher ground. All of His promises are true. What He said He will do. It may not come as quickly, or in the manner that we hoped for, but His promises are YES in. 2Cor.1:20

GOD has Given Us Authority

GOD has given us authority
To trample beneath our feet
All the powers of the hordes of
In we are complete
We’ve been given all authority
Over illness and disease
Over all the works of satan
Over all infirmities
All dominions, principalities
All rulerships and powers
Have been defeated at the cross
All victory is ours

Ask and It Will be Given to You

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For anyone who asks, receives; he who seeks, finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.(Matt7:7-8)
The secret is to first seek the Kingdom of GOD, (GOD’S righteousness,) then to ask in faith, not wavering. If you do these things, all that you need, will be added unto you. (Matt6:33)
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of GOD’S throne. Mercy and truth go before His face. (Ps 89:14) His Word is truth and if He said it, you can stand on it. His promises never fail.

Have Faith in GOD

“Have faith in GOD,” answered. “I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea’ and does not doubt in His heart, but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.” Mark 11:22-26
Faith is simply trusting in the Word of GOD. Adam and Eve were sinless until they doubted GOD’S Word, preferring to believe the serpent’s lie. The moment that they decided that GOD’S Word held less value than that of the serpent, they died spiritually and were plunged into the darkness of sin. That day they lost the beautiful fellowship that they had with GOD in the garden of Eden.
Jesus, through His death on the cross, made a way for us to be reconciled to GOD and, after His Ascension, sent the Holy Spirit to baptize us with power from on High. In him we have been given authority to destroy all the works of the devil. All that is required of us is to believe that the Word of GOD is absolutely true and that everything contrary to the Word is a lie. When we do, all things are possible and all we ask according to His will, will be given us.

I Will Make You into a Threshing-sledge

“See, I will make you into a threshing-sledge, new and sharp, with many teeth. You will thresh the mountains and crush them, and reduce the hills to chaff. You will winnow them, the wind will pick them up and a gale will blow them away. But you will rejoice in the LORD and glory in the Holy One of Israel. Isaiah 41:15-16
God has given us the authority and the power of Holy Spirit who indwells us, to remove all the obstacles of the enemy. He has given us His armour and His sword. We should not complain to GOD about everything. We need to thresh the mountains that stand in our way and allow the wind of Holy Spirit to blow them into the sea. He has given each of us the measure of faith. We are not to look at the size of Mustard Seed faith, but rather we should look at its potential.That was the point that was making when He said how big the mustard tree grows. When we put our trust in GOD, all things are possible.

My Love is Sure

My love is sure, not affected by pettiness
I love regardless, not on condition
I love in spite of, not because of
I give fully, not just in part

My love is eternal, not temporal
Indiscriminate, not biased
Generous, not self absorbed

Our Goal

Our goal is not to know the Book of the LORD.
Our goal is to know the LORD of the Book.
Knowledge just for the sake of knowledge is like playing soccer without a goal post.
