"My child,
You left because you said you wanted to be free,
Left my side saying, I want freedom.
Freedom to find my own way,
Freedom to do what everyone else is doing,
Freedom to follow my emotions,
Freedom to make my own decisions about life.
But My child, you have only walked right into the ownership of another,
who blinds your eyes and bounds your heart and mind with his chains,
imprisoning you to darkness.
My nail scared hands have paid the price for your release.
My body was pierced and wounded to set you free,
My blood was shed to break the chains.
Please accept My gift to you
My gift of redemption,
My gift of freedom!"
The prodigal son left, hoping to find happiness, satisfaction, something better,
After he lost all he "came to his senses" and remembered home, remembered his Father.
And while He was still a long way off... his Father saw him and ran to him,
hugging, kissing, and accepting him.
"My response is the same to you, my child.
I am searching the horizon, waiting to see you turn,
waiting for you to remember, waiting for you to begin your journey home.
Oh, how my arms are waiting to hug you.
Oh, how I am waiting to look you in the eyes, and whisper My love and acceptance to you
Oh, I am waiting...all the hosts of heaven are waiting too... we want to celebrate,
The return of you, My beloved one, to Me, Your Lover!"
Luke 15

The Level of the Spirit
I want to live on the level of Your Spirit, God.
That higher ground, that higher level, that upgrade with You,
Where my emotions react from Your truth,
Where my thoughts and words come from Your thoughts, Your words, Your truth.
This is the level where I see hope instead of hopelessness,
peace instead of fear,
gladness instead of sadness.
It's where I hear Him say, "I am on your side."
"I am with you."
"I am working all things out for your good."
It's seeing the circumstance as He sees it.
It's a choice I have to make so many times throughout the day,
To step up or step down.
There is light when I step up,
Only darkness when I step down.
I am not obligated to step down,
A price has been paid on my behalf allowing me to step up.
Stepping up is part of my destiny,
The key to my inheritance.
It's time for me to step up, and live in this level of my spirit that has been awakened, made alive
by my Savior!
Romans 8

The Hidden Place
The hidden place, the secret place, where I dwell with my God in my spirit,
Is where I desire to make my home.
It is here that I remain stable, not insecure, anxious, or fearful.
It is here I know I can lean on my God, and know that He will deliver me.
Deliver me from the subtle attacks of fear, worry and frustration,
Deliver me from the deadness of the world and unbelief.
Here I can hide, under the wings of the Almighty God.
His truth will shield me here,
His faithfulness will form a wall of protection around me here.
Here I am safe from the terror and the panic of darkness.
The evil plots and the slander of the world may attempt an arrow,
but it cannot enter my shield of truth.
I do not have to be afraid of the "what ifs" of tomorrow.
My Father is beside me, He is in control, He loves me.
I choose to trust Him,
Even when others are falling around me.
Here I can experience peace instead of fear,
joy instead of mourning,
hope instead of despair.
Here with You, I discover, explore, trust, and receive.
Your angels are surrounding me, defending me, protecting me.
This protection gives me power and authority to tread in enemy territory and overcome.
Out of the abundance of Your outpouring love, You set up this provision for me.
Your righteousness, love, and patience paint their picture as I abide here.
You always hear me,
You always answer me,
You always love on me,
In this secret place, rich with treasure and delight.
I want to stay!
Psalms 91

Broken Promises and Lies
You can't give me anything but broken promises, lies, darkness, and despair.
Oh, you promise...
You make it look so delightful, glorious,
You promise fame. popularity, wealth, but most of all you promise happiness.
But it's all a big lie, a trap, a hole to fall into, a bondage to be chained to.
Fear, hate, pain, wounds, and death is what I find on your path.
Lost dreams, broken relationships, emptiness is your plan for me.
This is not what I signed up for...
This is not what I was created for .
I was deep,
Deep in the muck,
Deep in the yuck of self, sin, and darkness.
And then He reached in...
And He said,"This one is mine."
And He drew me out,
Rescued me from the pit, washed me , cleansed me,
Dressed me with His robe of righteousness,
Adopted me into His family.
I became His daughter...took on His name...wore His ring,
He blessed me with the resources and blessings of the heavens.
All the years the enemy had claimed,
Was no longer my identity.
Now restored
All for His glory
What grace!

A Trust, A Touch, Peace
She touched Him with the hope...with the expectancy...that maybe,
It wasn't a public decision, but an inner decision
To trust, to believe, to expect.
She touched...and instantly was healed.
"My daughter, your faith has cured you, Go in peace"
An encounter with You Lord is always peace.
A glance, a prayer toward you, a longing toward you,
"Peace go with you," You whisper,
"I am big enough."
"I am strong enough."
"I am in control,"
"I love you."
"Peace!"
"Weep no more." You whisper.
Despite the circumstance, the injury, the bad report, the accusation,
"Weep not, be not afraid," is Your response.
You tell me to trust, to believe,
Believe that You know all things,
Believe that You are in control, You are on my side,
Believe that You have a different report, You see a different picture,
Believe that You are able to do exceedingly more than I could ever ask or imagine,
Believe that You are the God of the impossible,
Believe You care, believe You are there in the process,
Believe You love me.
Trust.. Believe...Expect..Receive!
Luke 8:47-56

Walking the Trail
Walking the Trail
He wants to walk on the trail with me,
Go on the adventure with me, be with me on the journey.
Even when my circumstances lead my path through the fire,
He goes with me, protecting me from the heat.
Other times my circumstances lead me into a swift flowing river,
Taking my hand He leads me safely across.
How can I be negative about my journey, mumbling, anxious, or fearful,
When He offers me His hand and allows me to walk in His footsteps.
His Light reveal truth along the way, direction for each turn.
He offers Himself completely,
so I can be released from my darkness,
released from the wandering,
released from the tangles of the net, the lies, that try to deceive me along the way.
The song that I hear Him sing leads me forward.
So completely He bestows to me everything needed to enjoy the journey and proclaim the victory.
"I will make a way," He promises, and He always does!!
He is a God of Any and Every
He is not just a God that can work in some peoples lives, or some situations,
But He is a God of any and every!
He is not just able to so some things, or handle some problems,
But He is a God of any and every!
He is not just there to provide in some areas of my life, or able to answer some prayers,
But He is a God of any and every!
Everything that matters to me, matters to Him.
Every circumstance is in His hands.
Nothing is too big for Him, too little for Him, too hard for Him, or too danderous for Him.
He is always big enough, strong enough, kind enough.
Any sinner in any stage of life, My God, the God of any and every is Able to cleanse, restore,
purify, transform into a reflection of His beauty!!
My God, the God of any and every!
"Weep not"
When the Lord saw her, His heart went out to her and He said, "Weep Not."
You tell me to "weep not," but do You know my circumstance, my trouble, my sadness, my lot in life?
"But do you, my child, know the intensity of My love for you?
Do you know the fulness of My compassion, my comfort, and the power of My words?"
"When I speak My word contains hope, desire, longing, possibilities, dreams fulfilled."
"I ask you to believe and receive My love for you."
And He spoke again, " Young man rise up!" and the dead man sat up and began to speak,
And deep awe fell upon the crowd.
Luke 7:13,14
