I spoke the darkness – v2

In this season, this year,
on a journey of redemption,
of reconciliation, of healing,
I am peeling back my hidden secrets
being transparent about my life
the unspoken pain I have carried
that I tried to hide from God…
 
Sitting down with them
I spoke the Darkness, my pain,
to wick it of its power,
to forgive myself, my shame,
not longer in control…
I give it willingly to others
because I know I am not alone…
 
I have held onto these lies of Satan,
my sin was too great, that I am broken,
I have believed the curse I am damned…
I don’t want to be chained any longer
I know that I have eternal life
God saved me for a purpose
He does not want me mired in pain…
 
I am tearing off my mask, my pain,
I am sharing as I am called to
by scripture, by the Spirit,
I know others are hurting too
that they have walked the same steps…
I pray they too will speak their darkness
to wick it of power over their lives…
 
I am tearing down the forest of lies
the wasteland of my torment,
that I may be healed, made free…
I am peeling back each hidden secret
being transparent with my life
each unspoken pain spoken freely,
brought into the Light of God…

the sting of a repeated lie

the poison destroying
changing my brain, my truth,
what I believed in my life…
the sting of a repeated lie
settled deep in my heart
separating me from God…
 
I believed the lie of Satan,
my mortal flesh caught in a trap,
lost for decades, all alone…
I believed that God had left me
that He didn’t protect me
when I needed Him most…
 
I needed His touch, the Potter,
assurance of His presence
when I couldn’t see Him…
but I was pushing Him away
taking control of my steps,
walking far from God’s path…
 
the sting of a repeated lie
has left thick scar tissues…
I need God’s light, His love,
to unpack the darkness
to soften my flesh, my spirit,
being transparent in my sin…
 
I now feel Him with me,
indwelling within me, alive,
I hear the Spirit’s still small voice…
I am speaking the darkness, the lies,
to sap them of their power,
how I long to walk with God…

The Savior had come - v2

The One foretold in scripture,
the one who was the harbinger,
the one by the River Jordan,
making a way for Him, for us.

The words of John, His cousin,
that the Savior had come in the flesh
calling himself to the background,
Letting Christ take center stage.

“He must increase, He must become greater,
I must decrease, I must yield to Him”;
Christ must take on the mantle,
as He was the One to come.

Each of them in submission,
to their calling their purpose,
there at the Jordan, at the beginning,
in the water, in Christ’s dying,
in His rising from the waters.

Christ’s ministry beginning,
baptizing with the Spirit, love,
John moving to the background,
as the bride to the Bridegroom…

Do you #believe in #God?


If you do not believe in me

you do not believe in God;

Do you believe in God,

then believe also in me.

 

I have come to earth

to fulfill the Law, the Prophets,

at the calling, the purpose of God

in this time, for this reason.

 

Believe in me, in my name, my identity,

believe in our Father God in heaven;

He is the One who sent me

to whom I will return.

I have come into the world as #light


I have come into the world as light

a light to pierce the darkness

to illuminate the way, the path,

that leads to the heart of God.

 

I have come into the world as light

for darkness surely prevaileth,

the world is filled with darkness

so far from the will of God

Father, #glorify your name! – v2


“Father, glorify your name!”

A shout, words of power, worship,

of awe for the Father, God,

forever seated in heaven.

 

“Father, glorify your name!”

Not words of hesitance, of anguish,

Words of life, of light, of power,

of confidence within Him.

 

“Father, glorify your name!”

A prayer before His Passion

Christ’s voice raised up to heaven

to our eternal Father unseen.

the #fragrance of the #perfume


The fragrance of the perfume

Mary’s offering, for Jesus,

the precious oil upon His feet

her hair as the towel.

 

The fragrance of the perfume

the extravagance, the worship,

her love poured out on Him

as a sacred offering.

Will we #rise from the #dead


Will we rise from the dead

will we walk like Lazarus

will we come at the call of Jesus

shouting out our name?

 

Will we live again

will we rise from dead

will we walk like Lazarus

leaving our own grave?

#Lazarus walked


Lazarus walked

Lazarus was raise up

He rose from the dead

He came out of the tomb

at the calling of Jesus.

 

Jesus calls to us

the same message to us

to come out of our tombs

to walk like Lazarus

at the calling of Jesus.
