MORNING'S ORACLE

THIS MORNING...BEFORE I EVEN OPENED MY EYES...I WAS CONSCIOUS OF A WORD

"WATER"...THEN..."WINE"...IT WAS ALMOST AUDIBLE.

IT WAS JUST ENOUGH TO GET MY ATTENTION...I ROLLED OVER...

THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS SPOKEN IN THIS WAY...SEEMS LIKE IT'S NEARLY THE ONLY TIME AND WAY TO GET MY ATTENTION...

I KNOW FROM EXPERIENCE, THAT IF I DO NOT GET UP AND START WRITING DOWN WHAT I HEAR...NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRY...I FORGET...IT'S GONE!

"IT'S SO COLD...I'M SO TIRED...I WON'T BE ABLE TO GO BACK TO SLEEP."....ONE EXCUSE AFTER ANOTHER....DOESN'T THAT SOUND FAMILIAR?...KIDS MOANING IN THE MORNING ABOUT GETTING UP AND READY FOR SCHOOL.

"I'M NOT GOING TO WAKE YOU UP AGAIN...DO YOU WANT TO HEAR WHAT SPIRIT IS SAYING?....YOU ARE NO LONGER A CHILD....I HAVE COME SOFTLY, AND WILL WAIT JUST LONG ENOUGH FOR YOU TO DECIDE."

I WAS UP IN A FLASH...GRABBING MY PEN AND PAPER...TRYING TO TIP TOE QUIETLY INTO THE LIVING ROOM, AS TO NOT WAKE THE WRATH OF MR. MOSES, WHO HAD A HARD TIME SLEEPING.

THEN AS USUAL THE WORD COMES FASTER THAN I CAN WRITE...A GOOD THING BECAUSE I KNOW THAT IT'S NOT ME THINKING IT THROUGH BEFORE I GET IT DOWN ON PAPER.

THE LORD HAS BEEN FAITHFUL IN MENTORING ME WITH HIS ORACLES...EVER SINCE I WAS A YOUNG CHRISTIAN....

I BELIEVE THAT JUST AS WE WRITE POETRY, SONGS, LETTERS OF COMFORT AND COUNCEL...THAT WORD THAT DWELLS IN YOU...IT IS ALONG THIS SAME LINE THAT HOLY SPIRIT SPEAKS AND REVEALS THE "LIVING WORD" THROUGH US AS ORACLES EDIFYING THE BODY OF CHRIST.

I SAY THIS HUMBLY AND FEARFULLY...COMPLETELY AWARE OF THIS VESSEL OF CLAY THAT IS LEAST OF THE SAINTS...

I HAVE NO AUTHORIZATION...EXCEPT HIS WORD WHICH HE MAKES KNOWN...

I AM MERELY A MOUTHPIECE HE IS THE WORD...

HOW VAIN AND PRESUMPTUOUS OF ME?...I'M SURE THAT IT SEEMS THAT WAY...

BUT I FEAR THE LIVING GOD, ABOVE MAN...AND IF I LIE...MAN HAS NOTHING TO FEAR...HIS MIND SET WILL BRING HIM TO PEACE AS THE CONSUMING FIRE OF GOD MAKES ME AN EXAMPLE OF PRIDEFUL BLASPHEMY AND SELF-RIGHTEOUS PRESUMPTION.

THIS IS ALL WELL AND GOOD...UNTIL FATHER SETS YOU DOWN AND SAYS YOU HAVE TO BECOME TO OTHERS...WHAT OTHERS HAVE BEEN TO YOU.

I'VE ALWAYS BELIEVED THAT WE ARE LIVING EPISTLES TO MEN...AS WONDERFULLY MARVELOUS AS THE WRITTEN WORD OF GOD...IT TOO IS THE ORACLES OF MEN...

LIVING EPISTLES OF THE TIME OF JESUS...IS TIMELESS..QUICK AND POWERFUL AS THEY WERE AND STILL ARE MINISTERED IN GOD'S SPIRIT...AND AS THE SPIRIT GIVES LIFE TO THE LETTER.

BUT NOW IS HE CALLING US FORTH TO SPEAK IN THESE LAST DAYS...AS ORACLES UNTO HIM...CHRIST IN US...SPEAKING...LIVING EPISTLES OF HIS WORD.

AGAIN...IT IS A FEARFUL THING TO SAY, "THUS SAITH THE LORD."

SO VERY SIMPLY...I WILL FOLLOW MY LORD'S LEAD IN THIS LESSON TOWARD BECOMING A MOUTH PIECE FOR HIM...

"THE WATER AND THE WINE...

THERE IS NO OTHER KIND...

BY WHICH WE COME TO KNOW

THE ONE WHO LOVES US SO...

REJOICE UNTO THAT DAY...

THERE IS NO OTHER WAY...

REDEEMING REASON'S TIME

WITHIN THIS MORNING RHYME...

TIS COMFORTING TO KNOW...

AS ONWARD YOU MUST GO

THROUGH MINUTE AND THROUGH HOUR...

I'LL BE YOUR STRENGTH AND POWER...

THE ORACLES OF GOD...

ALONG THE PATH YOU TROD

WILL COME AND THEN WILL GO...

THE WORD YOU'LL SURELY KNOW...

FOR THEY SHALL SPEAK OF ME...

THAT YOU MIGHT ALWAYS SEE

THE TRUTH ALONG THE WAY, YOU WALK WITH ME TODAY."

I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT HE IS SPEAKING TODAY...I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT YOU CAN HEAR HIM SPEAK...HE LONGS TO FELLOWSHIP WITH YOU PERSONALLY...

THERE IS AN ORDER TO OUR SHARING...IT IS DECENT AND RESPECTFUL...IT IS UNDER THE POWER OF THE ONE SPEAKING TO KEEP IT IN LINE WITH THE SPIRIT'S LEADING, AND NOT THE PRECONCEIVED NOTIONS OF THE ONE SPEAKING.

IT IS FULL OF LOVE...PATIENCE...AND KINDNESS.

IT CAN ALSO BE FULL OF WARNING...DISCIPLINE AND CANDOR...

THERE WERE MANY TREES IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN...THEIR FRUITS WERE MANY...BUT THERE WAS ONLY ONE TREE OF "LIFE"...IT'S FRUIT WAS OF THE SPIRIT...THE WATER THAT POURS FORTH AS WINE...EVEN AS IT IS POURED FORTH IN THESE LAST DAYS...

THIS NEW WINE CANNOT BE POURED INTO OLD WINESKINS...LEST THEY BURST AND THE WINESKINS PERISH.

THE LORD KNOWS MY HEART

I ADMIT IT...I'M DOG LOVER! MY PRIDE AND JOY HAD TO GO LIVE WITH MY SON WHEN WE MOVED INTO THIS APARTMENT COMPLEX. IT KILLS ME...I MEAN REALLY HURTS INSIDE WHEN WE VISIT AND I CAN'T BRING HER HOME...SHE HAS RAN AWAY SEVERAL TIMES TRYING TO FIND US.

THIS MORNING, THIS PICTURE WAS ON MY YAHOO PAGE...I JUST MELTED...

LORD__YOU KNOW MY HEART...HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OUR ATTACHMENTS TO ANIMALS...SOME SEEM MORE CONSIDERATE AND LOVING THAN OUR VERY OWN KIND.

THERE'S A GRIEVING I JUST CAN'T SEEM TO GET OVER LORD...I NEED YOUR HELP IN THIS.

AND HELP LITTLE ANNIE OKIE TO ADJUST AND FIND REST OF SPIRIT IN HER NEW FAMILY.

THANK YOU LORD.

CLING TO HIM

TODAY A TSUNAMI HIT__THE ENEMY CAME IN LIKE A FLOOD.

BUT I STOOD ON THE ROCK IN CALVARY’S CRIMSON BLOOD.

ALL ROUND ME RAGED THE WAVES

BUT I STOOD SECURE IN ONE WHO SAVES

MY MIND, MY HEART, MY SOUL

WAS SOUND, SAFE, AND SECURE

MY FLESH WAS WEAK, BUT HE WAS NEAR

I CLOSED MY EYES AND PRAYED

AND LISTENED AS HE SAID,

“HOLD TIGHT__HOLD TIGHT AND CLING

TO PROMISES I’VE MADE

MY WORD WILL NEVER FADE

MY WORD WILL BRING YOU THROUGH

TO YOU, TIS NOTHING NEW

I’VE BEEN WITH YOU BEFORE

ON MANY A STORMY SHORE

AND FROM THE SINKING SAND

I LENDED YOU MY HAND

REMEMBER CHILD__AND SEE

FOREVER I WILL BE

YOUR STRENGTH__YOUR LIFE__YOUR SONG

WHEN ALL ELSE SEEMS SO WRONG

MY LOVE WILL KEEP YOU THERE

WHEN SATAN SETS HIS SNARE

JUST TRUST AND YOU WILL SEE

I AM__WILL WILL SET YOU FREE

YOU ARE MY LONGING LORD

“The whole life of the good Christian is a holy longing. What you desire ardently, as yet you do not see…by withholding of the vision, God extends the longing, through longing he extends the soul, by extending he makes room in it. Let us long because we are to be filled…that is our life, to be exercised by longing. ”
~ St. Augustine

LORD__YES, THERE IS ALWAYS LONGING FOR YOU IN MY SOUL__I AM EASILY FILLED TO OVERFLOWING OF YOU.
YOU WELL UP IN ME__MY CUP RUNS OVER.
HOW IS IT THAT I CONTINUE TO LONG WHEN I AM FULL?

"IT IS THE LONGING THAT GIVES RISE TO THE EVERLASTING SPRINGS OF LIFE__AND THESE SPRINGS ARE THE PRAISES OF SUCH LONGING.
FROM GLORY TO GLORY, SUCH LONGING SHALL BRING YOU INTO EVEN MORE LONGING.
IT WAS SUCH THAT CALLED ME APART INTO MY FATHER'S PRESENCE__IT WAS THE ALPHA THAT SPRANG INTO THE OMEGA.
COME AND DRINK OF THE WATERS OF LIFE THAT SPRING FORTH IN LONGING UNTO PRAISE
PARTAKE OF THE FULLNESS OF EVER ENCREASING LONGING."

HIS THRONE IS FOREVER

OH HOLY GOD__WE COME HOLDING IN OUR HEARTS YOUR MATCHLESS GLOBE OF STARRY BLUE...

HIS FELLOWSHIP

LAST NIGHT I LONGED FOR FACE TO FACE FELLOWSHIP WITH SOMEONE...AND TO SHARE THE PRICELESS AND PRECIOUS LOVE OF THE LORD WHERE TWO OR THREE GATHER IN HIS MIDST.

MY LIFE IS MOSTLY CALLED APART UNTO HIM. AND I CHERISH THAT...

BUT AS HE HAS PROMISED...HE SAW MY HEARTS DESIRE AND THE VERY NEXT MORNING MY DEAR AND ONLY SISTER CALLED...."SIS WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO OUT FOR THE DAY WITH ME AND SHOP."

SHE IS SO PRECIOUS TO ME...MY YOUNGER SISTER...THAT (GOD, FORGIVE ME) I HAD SO LITTLE TIME FOR WHEN I WAS A GIRL...

BUT WE HAVE BECOME NOT ONLY CLOSER AS SISTERS...BUT SHARE A WONDERFUL RELATIONSHIP IN CHRIST JESUS...

BEING WITH HER...LAUGHING, CRYING, ENCOURAGING....JUST BEING...AND LOVING EACH OTHER IN HIS LOVE MEANS MORE THAN ALL THE EARTH'S TREASURE.

SIS DROPPED ME OFF AFTER OUR WONDERFUL TIME TOGETHER...

I HADN'T BEEN HOME MORE THAN AN HOUR...AND THERE WAS A KNOCK ON THE DOOR...

I COULDN'T BELIEVE MY EYES....MY BESTEST, BESTEST SIS IN THE LORD STOOD THERE...WHO I HAVEN'T SEEN IN YEARS.

EVERYONE WHO COMES TO VISIT HAS AN AWFUL TIME FINDING OUR APARTMENT HERE AMONG SO MANY...AND ESPECIALLY ON THE THIRD FLOOR.

SHE SAID THAT THE LORD LED THEM DIRECTLY TO OUR DOOR...

NEEDLESS TO SAY...THERE WE SAT WITH HER HUSBAND AND MINE...IN HIS MIDST...SHARING IN HIS FELLOWSHIP...AND THANKING HIM FOR ANSWERING MY HEARTS DESIRE AND THEIRS TOO....

MORE THAN THAT...OUR FELLOWSHIP MINISTERED UNTO HIM THE BREAD OF OUR LIVES...THE LOVING OF EACH OTHER AND THE LOVE OF HIM.

OH BELOVEDS WHAT SANCTUARY THERE IS IN HIM...THE SONGS OF OUR HEARTS FILLING THE UN- WALLED TEMPLE OF OUR BEINGS BEFORE HIM. SONGS OF PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING, WORSHIPING HIM IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH.

THANK YOU BLESSED LORD.

LET LOVE REIGN

TODAY I JUST WANT TO LAY BACK AND IMAGINE LIFE WITH NO HEARTACHE__NO PAIN__NO SORROW.

NO WAR__NO CONFLICT__NO PRISONERS OF ANY KIND.__

BUT YOU MY LORD FEEL IT ALL__ALL THE TIME. NO OTHER CAN BEHOLD WITH SUCH GRACE, MERCY AND PATIENCE, THE HEART WRENCHING STATE OF YOUR CREATION.

AND IN THE MIDST OF IT ALL IS PEACE LIKE A RIVER, FLOWING THROUGH MY SOUL.__THE PEACE THAT COMES FROM KNOWING YOU WILL WORK ALL THINGS TOGETHER FOR GOOD__BECAUSE I LOVE YOU.

BLESS THOSE WHO HAVE BLESSED ME WITH THEIR PRAYERS AND WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT LORD__THANK YOU FOR THE LOVE OF THE BRETHREN. YOUR LOVE, MANIFEST THROUGH THEM.

YOU ARE SELECTING, TEACHING AND TRAINING US LORD__YOU ARE TESTING US AND DEVELOPING US__

AS YOU PERFECT US AND MAKE US MORE THAN CONQUERORS__RALLYING UNDER YOUR BANNER OF LOVE__EQUIP US OH MIGHTY AND MARVELOUS GOD JEHOVAH WITH ALL FAITH, HOPE AND LOVE IN YOUR NAME.

WE WRESTLE NOT AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD...OUR WARFARE IS AGAINST MALICIOUS AND TERRIBLE PRINCIPALITIES OF THE LOWER HEAVEN.

BUT OUR WEAPONS ARE MIGHTY, TO THE PULLING DOWN OF STRONGHOLDS__YOU ARE THE CAPTAIN OF OUR FAITH WHO STANDS STRONG AND EVER READY TO LEAD US.

YES LORD__PREPARE US, CLEANSE US, CRUCIFY THIS FLESH AND REFINE US IN YOUR CONSUMING FIRE.__QUICKLY!__OH SO QUICKLY LORD DIP US INTO THE LIVING WATERS, AND WASH US WITH THE WATER OF YOUR WORD.__IMPART TO US YOUR GIFTS AND POWERS FROM ON HIGH__THAT THE WORLD MAY SEE__EVEN AS THE FALSE PROPHETS OF JEZEBEL SAW THE POWER OF YOUR MIGHT.

FORGIVE US WHEN WE FORGET YOUR WORKS OF DELIVERANCE. FORGIVE OUR UNBELIEF__YES, AND HOW QUICKLY WE FORGET__FORGIVE US LORD.

BE GLORIFIED IN US_AND IN EARTH AND IN HEAVEN.

BUT MORE THAN THIS__LET LOVE REIGN FROM YOUR OMNIPOTENT THRONE IN HEAVEN, TO THE SANCTIFIED THRONE OF OUR HEARTS.

THE CONSTANCE OF YOUR LOVE

LORD__THE CONSTANCE OF YOUR LOVE, LIKE THE TIDES THAT CARESS THE SHORE__LIKE THE SUN AFTER A RAIN__LIKE THE MORNING DAWN DECLARING A NEW DAY.

YOUR WORD IS CONSTANT AND TRUSTWORTHY LORD__EVERY PROMISE__YESTERDAY, TODAY AND FOREVER.

TODAY MY DAUGHTER__YOUR DAUGHTER WAS TOLD THERE WAS A LUMP ON HER BREAST THAT COULD BE CANCER....THIS ONE WHO IS NEXT TO OBSESSIVE ABOUT HER HEALTH AND HOW SHE TAKES SUCH GOOD CARE...

I'LL NEVER FORGET THE LOOK IN HER EYES WHEN SHE TOLD HER DAD AND I.

SHE'S A WOMAN NOW, AND ONE WHO WANTS TO TRUST YOU COMPLETELY WITH HER LIFE...SHE WAS TRYING TO BE SO BRAVE__

FATHER HELP HER TO TRUST, TO SURRENDER, TO FIND THAT JOY IN THIS THAT COMES FROM YOUR OWN FAITH...

YES, EVEN THE PEACE THAT PASSES UNDERSTANDING. WALK WITH HER THROUGH THIS FIRE...LET THAT ONE WHO WALKED IN THE FURNACE WITH SHADRACH, MESHIACH, AND EMBEDNIGO...WALK WITH THIS PRECIOUS ONE I PRAY.

BE GLORIFIED IN HER LORD...COMFORT HER...HELP HER IN UNBELIEF, IN DISCOURAGEMENTS, AND FEAR.

BE GLORIFIED IN HER LORD...IN HER TESTIMONY OF LOVE FOR YOU...IN HER WAITING UPON YOU...AND IN HER SURRENDER.

WRAP YOUR ROBE ABOUT HER, AND DRAW HER EVER NEAR...THIS IS HER MOTHER'S PRAYER...AS I TOO MUST SURRENDER HER TO YOUR WILL AND KEEPING.

I CHOOSE TO NOT LOOK UPON ALL THE WHAT IFS AND MAYBE'S THAT SURROUND HER AND TRY TO FILL MY OWN HEART AND MIND FEAR AND DOUBT.

I CLING TO YOU...BLESSED RESSURECTION LIFE!

AND WHEN YOU COME TO CALL HER FORTH...IN WHAT EVER STATE THAT MIGHT BE...SHE SHALL COME FORTH! SHE SHALL COME FORTH VICTORIOUS!

IN ALL OF THIS, SHE IS THE WORKMANSHIP OF YOUR HANDS...HER MIND, HER HEART AND SOUL...

THANK YOU LORD FOR HEARING MY PRAYER...MAY THE WORDS NEVER FADE FROM MY HEART. LET MY REQUEST VIBRATE THROUGH GALAXIES THAT YOU BE GLORIFIED....LET THY KINGDOM WITHIN ME VIBRATE WITH PRAISE AND THANKFULNESS AT YOUR MERCY AND GRACE....

I AM TRULY THANKFUL TO HAVE YOU TO COME TO MY LORD...ONE, I CAN LEAN ON AND TRUST COMPLETELY...I TRUST THE CONSTANCY OF YOUR LOVE.

I PRAISE YOU NOW FOR THE ANSWER...AMEN AND AMEN.......

IN THE SILENCE OF HIS SURE PRESENCE

LORD__I'M ONLY AS NEAR YOU AS MY OWN THOUGHTS OF YOU.

AS CLOSE AS MY BEATING HEART.

NOW AS I BOW MY HEAD, AWARE OF EACH PRICELESS MEASURED BREATH,

I THANK YOU FOR BEING THERE, FOR LISTENING, AND KNOWING IT BECAUSE OF FAITH.

THAT FAITH THAT HAS COME FROM HEARING YOU.

THAT STILL, AND NEARLY SILENT VOICE THAT SPEAKS CLEAR AND PLAINLY IN MY HEART.

YOU HAVE MADE IT SO LORD. YOU HAVE GIVEN ME EYES TO SEE AND EARS TO HEAR, WHAT I ONCE COULD NOT.

NOW IN THIS QUIET PLACE__THE NEARNESS OF YOU, PRESSES THE OIL OF GLADNESS FROM ME.

MAY IT BE A SACRIFICE OF PRAISE TO YOU MY LORD.

Tonight as I was surfing the internet, listening to Praise Radio__my hubby stuck his head around, and into the den__His eyes were filled with tears__

“Momma” he said softly, and struggling to remain the strong man he is. “The Holy Spirit just spoke to me.__ He’s coming for us Dove.__ We have to be ready.”

There was such a look of conviction on His face.
In my heart I thanked the Lord for the Word that moved Him__for the nearness of Lord to this tender heart this one who seeks the Lord daily.

I turned, as he left out of my sight, and resumed what I was doing.

“Put your life where your mouth is.”

What?

“Put your life where your mouth is.”

Lord?

“You heard me.”

Lord, I feel Your love in this command__How have I neglected so great a salvation? __

“In earnest expectation__in apathy__in condoning passivity in yourself“__

Where has my passion gone, Lord?__“My First Love”

“The wilderness of waiting has driven you in the wind to barren places.__ you have forgotten the green pastures, and the springs of living waters that flowed through mountains high, and valleys low.”

Thank you for coming tonight and letting me see_ forever_ in the eyes of your son, my husband.

Thank you for letting me see the reality of faith that gives strength and hope and vision beyond today, and into the horizon of tomorrow.

Thank you for this life’s partner, my earthly lord, who loves me as you love the Church. Who shares his very souls desire of you, with all of his heart, as he loves his very self because of You.

Take this life Lord__NOW!__All of me Lord. I desire to live out all that my heart knows, and all that my mouth confesses. That You might be glorified__that You might be ministered unto in word and deed.

I give You praise, for Your listening ear. I give you praise for not turning away__EVER!__

I give you praise for seeing my needs. I give you praise for providing through answered prayer, the confidence and faith and joy of these blessings Lord.

I shall not want, because of You__You are my cup that runs over__the oil that runs down me unto joy unspeakable and full of glory!

I heard you Lord.

“Put my life where my mouth is.”

MY JOY____YOUR JOY

LORD; LET YOUR JOY REMAIN IN ME__THAT MY JOY MIGHT BE FULL.

NOT THE JOY OF HAPPINESS AS WE KNOW IT. BUT THE JOY THAT WAS YOUR OWN__

THE ABSOLUTE SURRENDER TO YOUR FATHER, THE GIVING OF YOURSELF TO DO ALL THAT HE HAD CALLED YOU TO DO. EVEN IN WAITING, EVEN IN NOT KNOWING, BUT IN TRUST AND FAITH.

TEACH ME THE MEANING OF THIS JOY MY LORD. LET MY HEART REJOICE IN YOUR WORD, THOUGHT AND THE WAY OF YOUR PERFECT WILL__WITHOUT LEANING TO MY OWN UNDERSTANDING AND REASONING OF THINGS.

IN HEALTH, RELATIONSHIPS, FINANCES, OR SUCCESS__LET ME NOT MESSURE MY JOY IN THESE EXTERNAL HAPPENINGS, BUT IN COMMUNION AND RIGHT RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU MY LORD.

I AM SO EASILY SELF-CONCIOUS__AND AS ONE HAS SAID, "A SANCTIFIED PRIG. OH LORD, EVEN MY GOD LET IT NOT EVER BE SO.

LET MY LIFE BE LIVED JOYOUSLY HID IN YOU. NATURALLY BREATHING IN YOUR SPIRIT, WALKING IN THAT SPIRIT, AND BREATHING IT BACK OUT IN UNCONCIOUS JOY UPON OTHERS.

COMING ALIVE!

I KNOW I'M A LITTLE PREJUDICE ABOUT THE WONDERFUL STATE OF WASHINGTON__BUT I CAN'T HELP MYSELF.

ESPECIALLY THIS TIME OF THE YEAR. EVERYTHING IS COMING ALIVE! ALL OF NATURE, FROM IT'S LONG WINTERS NAP.

THE WOOD PECKER IS BACK WITH IT'S JACK-HAMMERING ALONG THE SIDE OF THE HOUSE. THE CALL OF THE BALD EAGLES REVERBERATING FROM THE SKY. CANADIAN HONKERS TRUMPETING THEIR LONG WAITED ARRIVAL FROM THE SOUTH__AND THE SILENT BUDDING OF THE TREES COMING BACK FROM THE DEAD.

THE RIVERS AND STREAMS MAKING THEIR WAY TO THE MIGHTY PACIFIC OCEAN SEEM TO LAUGH WITH A HEIGHTENED SENSE OF THE LIFE THEY CARRY WITHIN THEM.

HOW WONDROUS IS YOUR HANDIWORK MY GOD. WHAT A WORK AND WONDER. IN ALL FAITHFULNESS YOU ABIDE. THE REGENERATOR OF LIFE!

I PRAY THAT THAT SAME ENERGIZING SPIRIT THAT BRINGS LIFE TO HIS CREATION, WILL COME ALIVE IN YOU TODAY. THAT YOU WOULD BE FULLY ALIVE, WITH SPRINGS OF LIVING WATER GUSHING UP OUT OF YOU UNTO SALVATION.

NOW RISE, SHINE, AND GIVE GOD THE GLORY! THIS IS THE DAY THAT THE LORD HAS MADE. REJOICE! AND BE GLAD IN IT.

THANK YOU LORD

Today began like a symphony Lord. The quiet hush just before the first wave of the conductors wand. The sun rose slowly from the east, like the curtain rising on a stage set to give life to the music.
I can’t tell you in words Lord how my heart swooned at the beauty of it all. The giant weeping willow swayed in the sun warmed breezes, in rythmn to the flight of birds, the rush of squirrels building nests and busily trying to find where and what they buried over the cold winter months. The turtledoves cooing in the one tone that made my heart ache with love.
I just wanted to say thank you Lord.
Thank you for being there in sight, in sound, and in the realization of how much joy you get out of giving all these blessings to your creation. I bless you Lord__I praise you__thank you, thank you, thank you.

HAVING THE MIND OF CHRIST

“If I speak with human eloquence, but don’t love... ..................................................... I’m nothing but a clanging bell.”
Lord__speak through me this morning__I give you my mind and my heart__let them be Your very own.
Speak to that one who is waiting for a word from YOU.
Let them know that in this very moment, as they read, they are not alone.
Hold them next to your loving heart__and let them feel the love that is there for them__Let them know that if they will just let go of everything__Even if it all falls apart__
You can pick up all the broken pieces and work it together for good.
Remind this one Lord of all the promises you've kept before__of all the prayers you've faithfully answered.
And as they stand still__let them see Your salvation.
The salvation of faith renewed__the soaking of the rains of Spirit upon them__the laughter that works like a medicine, so that they can rejoice in the glory of their first love.
Let today be the first day of the rest of their life__Your life in them__Let this moment run seamless into the next__rejoicing their heart.
Thank you Lord for the love you have shared with me concerning this beloved one.__Thank you for the love of the brethren that is ours, in and through your Spirit.
Come Holy Spirit Come__Let this one hear,
"This is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased."
I ask this in Your Holy and Powerful name....Amen

STILL WATERS

LORD__I CAN’T IMAGINE WHAT IT WAS LIKE FOR OUR NATIVE AMERICAN FRIENDS OF LONG AGO__WHO COULD KNEEL BESIDE STILL WATERS AND WORSHIP WHO THEY CONSIDERED THE GREAT SPIRIT.
EVEN THEIR HEARTS WERE DRAWN TO THE MIGHTY AND MAJESTIC OF YOUR CREATION. THEY TOO SAW THE ENDLESS SCOPE OF YOUR CREATIVE HAND. THEY WORSHIPED AND GAVE PRAISE. THOSE WHO WOULD LISTEN IN THE SILENCE AND FOLLOWED WHAT GRACE YOU HAD PLACED IN THEIR HEARTS.
TODAY__LIKE NO OTHER__WE NEED THAT SILENT PLACE__THAT PLACE BESIDE THE STILL WATERS.
THERE IS TROUBLE ON EVERY HAND__ BUT WE FIX OUR EYES AND HEARTS UPON YOU LORD.
HELP US TO BECOME STILL AND KNOW THAT YOU ARE GOD.
LET YOUR PEACE ABIDE IN THE KINGDOM OF OUR HEARTS.
RENEW OUR MINDS WITH THE STRENGTH OF YOUR FELLOWSHIP__THAT STILL SMALL VOICE THAT SPEAKS WITH THUNDEROUS MIGHT IN THE INNER SANCTUARY__THAT WORD THAT PENETRATES TO THE DEPTHS OF OUR BEING, UNTIL WE CAN DO NOTHING ELSE BUT GLORIFY YOUR NAME__AND PRAISE YOUR NAME ABOVE ALL OTHERS.
THE AIR WAVES TODAY ARE FULL OF HORRENDOUS NOISE.
LORD__THANK YOU THAT I CAN COME AND KNEEL BESIDE YOUR STILL WATERS__THAT I CAN WALK IN YOUR SPIRIT__KNOWING THAT ALL IS WELL WITH MY SOUL.
THANK YOU FOR THE SILENCE__THANK YOU FOR STILL WATERS__I GIVE YOU GLORY AND HONOR FOR THE GRACE THAT IS OURS IN YOU LORD, GENTLE SHEPHERD OF MY SOUL.

UNMISTAKABLE

FROM THE VERY FIRST TIME YOU REACHED OUT TO ME__
I HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN THE SMELL OF YOU.
HOW OFTEN I HAVE TOLD MY HUSBAND__
IF I HAD TO PICK HIM OUT OF A LINE-UP OF MEN__
AND I WAS BLINDFOLDED__
ALL HE WOULD HAVE TO DO IS BREATHE ON ME__
THE SCENT OF HIS BREATH IS UNMISTAKABLE TO__
IT IS AS MY VERY OWN BREATH

BREATHE ON ME LORD__
AND I AM NOT ALONE__
I AM CONFIDENT IN FAITH, BECAUSE OF YOUR PRESENCE.
BREATHE ON ME LORD__

WAITING

LORD__I AM PERPETUALLY WAITING.__NO MATTER WHERE I AM__NO MATTER DAY OR NIGHT__I AM WAITING.

I'M AFRAID TO GO TO SLEEP, BECAUSE__I MIGHT MISS YOUR COMING.__I LONG FOR YOU SO. AND WHEN I DON'T FEEL YOU NEXT TO ME, OR THE BEATING OF YOUR HEART IN MINE__I WAIT NEARLY BREATHLESS FOR SOME SENSE OF YOUR RETURN.
I HATE THE MORNING SOMETIMES__BECAUSE I KNOW I MUST WAIT. I KNOW YOU DO NOT NEGLECT OR TEMPT ME, OR TEST ME IN THIS__
IT IS MY OWN STATE OF MIND OR PERHAPS MY DISPOSITION__BE IT RESTLESS DISCONTENT__I KNOW NOT.
I LOOK AT MY LITTLE DOG ANNIE, WHO SITS NEXT TO ME, SO CONTENT, AND WATCHES EVERY MOVE I MAKE.__HOW EXCITED SHE IS WHEN I'VE BEEN AWAY__AND IT DOESN'T MATTER IF IT'S ONLY BEEN A FEW MINUTES OUT OF HER SIGHT__HER REACTION IS THE SAME.__HER REQUIREMENTS THE SAME__
LOVE__LOVE__LOVE
SO I WAIT FOR LOVE__EVEN THOUGH I KNOW YOU LOVE ME__I STILL WAIT.
PERHAPS IT'S THAT FINAL CALL I'M WAITING FOR__
TO SEE YOU FACE TO FACE__TO HEAR YOU CALL MY NAME__TO SEE THOSE WHO I CAN NO LONGER FELLOWSHIP WITH HERE IN THIS FLESH.
THERE'S NO DOUBT IN MY WAITING__YOU WILL COME__YOU HAVE COME.
YET IS THERE WAITING IN MY SOUL__THE SOUND OF CRYING__JOYOUS CRYING__
"COME LORD JESUS, COME."

MY HEART'S VALENTINE

Psalm 139 (New International Version)
O LORD, you have searched me and you know me.
You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.
You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways.
Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD.
You hem me in—behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.
Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?
If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea,
even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.
If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,"
even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,
your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
How precious to me are your thoughts, O 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.
(((MY HEARTS VALENTINE)))

LET THIS MIND BE IN YOU

THE WISDOM THAT IS FROM ABOVE IS FIRST PURE, THEN PEACEABLE, GENTLE AND EASY TO BE INTREATED, FULL OF MERCY AND GOOD FRUITS, WITHOUT PARTIALITY, AND WITHOUT HYPOCRISY__AND THE FRUIT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS IS SOWN IN PEACE OF THEM THAT MAKE PEACE.___JAMES 3:17

THE POWER OF HIS INTERCEEDING

 IN THE GLORIFIED PERSONAGE OF HIS HOLINESS HE DOES WAIT.
IN SOLEMN REQUISITION__RESCUING THE PERISHING.
WHEREIN, AS IN ADAM, ALL MEN DIED
NOW IN HIM ARE ALL MEN MADE ALIVE.
NOT ALL MEN
BE NOT DECIEVED
BUT IN CHRIST SHALL A MAN BE MADE ALIVE.
FOR SOME SET FIRE TO THEIR VERY OWN SOUL
AND WILL__NOT TO BE RESCUED
IMPENETRABLE AND IMPERVIOS
GOD HAVE MERCY ON THEIR SOULS
YET DOES HE WAIT
EVER INTERCEEDING
NOT WILLING THAT ANY SHOULD PERISH
LOVE’S ETERNAL ABIDING
PATIENCE’S PERFECT WORK
FAITH’S SERENITY
IN THE POWER OF FORGIVING
IN THE GLORIFIED PERSONAGE OF HIS HOLINESS HE DOES WAIT

A PRIEST, A KING A MANIFEST SON
COMPLETE AND WHOLE, A WORK THAT’S DONE
IT IS FINISHED!

Words by Robert Robinson_1758
Music by John Weyeth_1813
Come, Thou Fount of every blessing, Tune my heart to sing Thy grace; Streams of mercy, never ceasing, Call for songs of loudest praise. Teach me some melodious sonnet, Sung by flaming tongues above. Praise the mount! I'm fixed upon it, Mount of Thy redeeming love.
Sorrowing I shall be in spirit, Till released from flesh and sin, Yet from what I do inherit, Here Thy praises I'll begin; Here I raise my Ebenezer; Here by Thy great help I've come; And I hope, by Thy good pleasure, Safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger, Wandering from the fold of God; He, to rescue me from danger, Interposed His precious blood; How His kindness yet pursues me Mortal tongue can never tell, Clothed in flesh, till death shall loose me I cannot proclaim it well.
O to grace how great a debtor Daily I'm constrained to be! Let Thy goodness, like a fetter, Bind my wandering heart to Thee. Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, Prone to leave the God I love; Here's my heart, O take and seal it, Seal it for Thy courts above.
O that day when freed from sinning, I shall see Thy lovely face; Clothed then in blood washed linen How I'll sing Thy sovereign grace; Come, my Lord, no longer tarry, Take my ransomed soul away; Send thine angels now to carry Me to realms of endless day.

SETTING THE CAPTIVE FREE

LORD__HELP ME TO PUT IN WORDS WHAT YOU ARE SHOWING ME. LET THIS WORD CAST IT’S LIGHT WITHIN THE DARK REGIONS OF OUR MINDS, SOUL AND SPIRIT. THANK YOU LORD.
RENDING THE VEIL__
ONE OF THE OLD TESTIMENT CUSTOMS OF A FATHER GREIVING OVER HIS DEAD SON__WAS TO TEAR HIS GARMENT FROM HIS BREAST. THE TEARING SYMBOLIZED THE BROKENESS OF HEART AND THE HELPLESSNESS TO BRING LIFE BACK TO THE DEAD.
IN THE TEMPLE IN JERUSALEM__ AN 80 FT HIGH CURTAIN __OUTER VEIL__COVERED THE INNER SANCTUARY__IT WAS MADE OF BABYLONIAN TAPESTRY__EMBROIDERED OF BLUE AND FINE LINEN OF SCARLET AND PURPLE__MADE WITH MARVELOUS SKILL. THE FINE WORK ON THE TAPESTRY PORTRAYED A PANORAMA OF THE ENTIRE HEAVENS.
SINCE I WAS A YOUNG GIRL__I’VE ALWAYS FELT LIKE THE LEAST EXPLORED AND MORE GLORIOUS KINGDOM LIES WITHIN US__IT IS THE LAST DOMAIN TO WHICH SATAN WOULD RULE. WHEN JESUS CRIED OUT__”IT IS FINISHED”__AND THE VEIL IN THE TEMPLE SPLIT FROM THE TOP TO THE BOTTOM__THE UNIVERSES WERE RENT IN TWO__THE THRONE OF GOD DECLARED HIS WILL TO BE DONE ON EARTH, EVEN AS IT IS IN HEAVEN. __AND MORE THAN THAT IT WOULD SHINE THE LIGHT OF FAITH INTO HEARTS MADE BLIND AND DEAF TO THE THINGS OF GOD’S SPIRIT.__
THE FATHER’S HEART WAS EXPOSED FOR ALL MAN KIND TO SEE__THE HOLINESS OF HIS HOLINESS.
WE BEHELD HIS SON’S BLEEDING HEART__WE HEARD HIS MORTAL CRY AS HE GAVE UP THE GHOST. (((WHEN JESUS WAS BAPTISED, THE FATHER ACKNOWLEDGED HIM WITH A VOICE FROM HEAVEN DECLARING THAT HE WAS HIS SON AS THE HOLY SPIRIT DESCENDED UPON HIM AS A DOVE__THIS WOULD GIVE HIM CONFIDENCE IN HIS WILDERNESS EXPERIENCE__WHEN HE DIED ON THE CROSS__IT WAS A NAILED SIGN OVER HIS HEAD AND THE WORD OF A CENTURION THAT DECLARED WHO HE WAS__IN HIS DEATH HE QUESTIONED, “MY FATHER WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME.”__HE DIDN’T SAY, “FATHER HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME.”__
HIS VERY CONFIDENCE WAS WITH HELD FROM HIM.__IN ALL OF THIS HE ASKED THAT HIS FATHER FORGIVE US__BECAUSE WE DID NOT (((KNOW WHAT WE WERE DOING))).
IT IS THE BODY OF FLESH THAT IS OUR GREATEST BONDAGE__IT IS OUR MIND AND OUR SPIRIT THAT IS HELD CAPTIVE BY IT.__WE ARE TRULY BLIND AND TRULY DEAF__AND THAT IS THE SENTENCE OF SPIRITUAL DEATH.
EVEN AS THE POWER THAT EXISTED IN THE INNER SANCTUARY OF THE HOLY OF HOLIES WAS IN BONDAGE TO THE FLESHLY ORDINANCES AND EARTHLY PREISTHOOD.
IT WAS THE VIEL OF THE FLESH THAT NEEDED TO BE TORN ASSUNDER TO EXPOSE THE HEART. IT IS THESE VEILS THAT BLIND US AND DEAFEN US TO THE TRUTH.
NO EARTHLY PRIEST COULD OFFER A POWER GREAT ENOUGH TO GIVE HOPE OF FULL ACCESS TO THE HOLY OF HOLIES__IT HAD TO BE SET UP IN GOD’S KINGDOM.
IT HAD TO BE ESTABLISHED IN OUR HEARTS, MINDS AND SOULS. WHERE WE WERE DEAD IN OUR TRESPASSES AND SINS. THOSE BONDAGES THAT HELD US CAPTIVE TO DEATH.
BELOVED__EVEN AS ONE HAS SAID__I AM THE LEAST OF THE LEAST OF THOSE WHO SHOULD SPEAK SUCH THINGS.__BUT I WANT SO DESPERATELY TO TELL YOU OF THE LIGHT THAT HAS COME TO SHINE IN THOSE DARKEST REGIONS OF YOUR HEART, SOUL AND MIND. TO REVEAL WHAT IS THE TRUTH FROM THE BEGINNING__THAT GOD HAS CREATED ALL THINGS BY HIS SON CHRIST JESUS__AND THAT HE WANTS YOU TO KNOW THAT MANIFEST WISDOM WHICH IS WITNESSED IN HEAVENLY PLACES__
THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN HIS UNCHANGEABLE PURPOSE.__HIS ETERNAL PURPOSE__TO GIVE US ACCESS TO HIM WITH CONFIDENCE BY FAITH IN HIM__FOR FLESH AND BLOOD CANNOT INHERIT THE THINGS OF GOD.__OUR GOD IS A HOLY GOD__AND HE IS SPIRIT__I WILL NOT ARGUE THE TRINITY OR THE MEANING OF HIS ONENESS__HOW THE SON WAS GLORIFIED IN HIS FLESH AND HOW HE STANDS AT THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF HIS FATHER__THESE TOO ARE OF THOSE THINGS THAT HE REVEALS AS HE WILLS__
I PRAY AS THOSE EARLY SAINTS DID__THAT YOU MIGHT COME TO PARTAKE OF HIS RICHES IN GLORY__THAT YOU MIGHT BE SET FREE FROM ALL BONDAGE OF THE INNER MAN AND STRENGTHENED WITH MIGHT BY THE SPIRIT OF HIS WORD.__THAT CHRIST MIGHT DWELL IN YOUR HEART BY FAITH__AND THAT YOU WILL BE ROOTED AND GROUNDED IN HIS LOVE.
MAY HE GIVE YOU UNDERSTANDING__THAT YOU MIGHT COMPREHEND WHAT IS THE HEIGHT AND DEPTH AND WIDTH OF HIS LOVE.__FOR IT PASSES OUR OWN KNOWLEDGE__
MAY HE FILL YOU WITH HIS VERY FULLNESS__ACCORDING TO THE POWER THAT EXISTS IN HIM__GIVE YOU SIGHT__THAT YOU MAY KNOW HIM AND THE POWER OF HIS RESURRECTION__
OUR ETERNAL FATHER WHO TORE THE VEIL OF THE TEMPLE__HAD THE POWER TO GIVE LIFE BACK TO HIS SON__THIS IS WHAT HE WANTS YOU TO KNOW__
BELOVED YOU ARE DEAD IN YOUR FLESH__NO MATTER HOW GOOD YOU MAY BE.__THIS OUR ETERNAL FATHER HAS ALWAYS KNOWN__IT HAS BEEN THE UNCHANGEABLE PURPOSE OF GOD TO MAKE A WAY FOR YOU TO LIVE WITH HIM.__AND IT’S ONLY THROUGH BEING BORN OF HIS ETERNAL AND HOLY SPIRIT. IT IS A GIFT THAT IS OFFERED TO YOU AT GREAT PRICE. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS COME AND ACCEPT IT.__AMEN__SO BE IT.

THE MINISTRY OF THE INTERIOR

OH THE DEPTHS OF RESIDING

THE WELLS OF SANCTUARY

ENDLESS INNER SPACE
WHERE ORBIT WORLDS OF RESOLUTE-NESS

SELF CENTERED OR EVER EXPANDING ATONEMENT?
A ROYAL PRIESTHOOD__THE MINISTRY OF THE INTERIOR
WHERE CHRIST DWELLS WITH SPIRIT WORD

HIS WORK AND WILL TO PURPOSE BRING
HIS LIGHT TO REALMS WHERE FOUNTAINS SPRING
A FOUNT OF BLESSING TO ALL MEN
TO WASH AWAY THE POWER OF SIN
RECONCILED__AND NOW REDEEMED
FROM ALL THAT WAS NOT WHAT IT SEEMED

ALL NOBLE THINGS THOUGH GREAT OR SMALL
STOOD NOT THE TEST OF ADAM'S FALL
NO MATTER WHAT__NO MATTER WHEN
ONLY ONE WORK WILL CLEANSE FROM SIN

TO FREE US FROM LIFE'S ENDLESS STRIFE
TO DWELL IN PEACE__TILL I DO KNOW
HIS VOICE AND FACE UNVEILED TO SHOW
THAT FROM THE DEPTHS OF MY OWN HEART
HE WORKED TO BRING ME TO THIS START
TO WALK, THOUGH IN A NARROW WAY
UNTIL THE RAPTURE OF HIS DAY

UNTIL THE RAYS OF MORNING LIGHT
MEET THOSE WHOSE VISION IS THEIR SIGHT
THE MINISTRY OF THE INTERIOR
A WORK OF GRACE__A THUS SO FAR
I DWELL IN HOPE MOST SANCTIFIED
BY ONE WHO IS MY CONSTANT GUIDE
I WILL NOT GIVE MY HEART TO FEAR
BUT FULLY LEAN ON CHRIST SO DEAR.

A ROSE IS A ROSE__WITH NO NOSE

I CRAWLED INTO BED LATE LAST NIGHT. IT WAS COLD, AND SO WERE MY FEET. THEY TOOK FOREVER TO GET WARM, IT KEPT ME AWAKE.
THEN I HEARD THIS THOUGHT IN MY HEAD.
"A ROSE IS A ROSE, WITH NO NOSE."
I KNOW, I KNOW. I THOUGHT I WAS LOOSING IT TOO. BUT AS I SURRENDERED MY OWN LOGIC AND UNDERSTANDING, THESE ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS CAME.
1. A ROSE HAS NO NOSE...UNAWARE THAT IT SMELLS OF THE SWEETEST PERFUME.
2. A ROSE HAS NO EYES... IT DOES NOT SEE THAT IT THRILLS THE EYES OF THE BEHOLDER WITH IT'S BEAUTY.
3. A ROSE HAS NO MOUTH...SO OURS ARE FILLED  WITH PRAISE TO THE CREATOR OF IT.
4. A ROSE HAS NO EARS...SO WHEN WE SPEAK OF IT'S BEAUTY OR IT'S FRAGRANCEA__ IT IS NOT PUFFED UP__IT JUST IS__
A ROSE IS A ROSE IS A ROSE.
IT'S ONE PURPOSE IS TO GLORIFY THE CREATOR AND TO BRING PLEASURE TO HIS HEART, AND OURS.
A PLANTING OF THE LORD.
LORD__MAKE ME YOUR PLANTING__CONTENT TO BLOOM WHERE I AM__ FRAGRANT WITH PRAYER__MY EYES FIXED ON YOU__MY MOUTH FILLED WITH PRAISE.
LET ALL WHO SEE ME__SEE THE REFLECTION OF YOUR IMAGE, THE BEAUTY OF YOUR GRACE.
IRISH 

THE FIRE OF HIS PRESENCE

BELOVED LITTLE ONE__STAND STILL IN HIS FIERY PRESENCE. BEHOLD WHAT MANNER OF LOVE HAS COME TO YOU. YOU HAVE ASKED__NOW, RECEIVE

LORD YOU ARE MY SONG

LORD__ONLY YOU CAN HEAR THE SOUND OF MY HEART AND IT'S MELODY OF LOVE
I DON'T EVEN HEAR THE SOUND OF IT
BUT I FEEL THE VIBRATION OF IT'S MELODY
MY MOUTH TRIMBLES WITH THE RELEASING OF PRAISE, FROM THE ACHE OF IT
GROANINGS AND SIGHS WITHOUT WORDS
LIKE A FLAME THAT LIGHTENS MY WAY
LIKE WINGS THAT TAKE ME ON FLIGHTS TO RHELMS I ONLY DREAM ABOUT, HOPE FOR AND BELIEVE ONE DAY WILL LEAD ME HOME
IT IS A SONG THAT IS NEW EVERY DAY
LORD YOU ARE MY SONG IN THIS NOW MOMENT OF MY LIFE
WITH EVERY BREATH I TAKE, EVERY THOUGHT, EVERY DESIRE, I LONG TO SING THE SONG THAT ONLY MY HEART KNOWS
IT IS LOVE THAT SINGS THE MELODY
LORD YOU ARE MY SONG

ONE__TWO__THREE

YOU THE ONE TO FOLLOW
THOSE WHO FOLLOW ME
