My Once and for All God

My once and for all God does not change!

He has no shadow of shifting

Steadfast...sure...faithful...

He is my once and for all God!

Once and for all He suffered

Suffered and died for my sins

To bring me near to God...

Once and for all He transferred 

His righteousness to me 

And took my guilt, shame, sin and mess...

Once and for all He labeled me 

Clean, Pure, Healed, Beloved, Holy, Favored, Forgiven!

Once and for all

He Loved, and Loved, and Loved...

As He created me for purpose,

Pored our His favor upon me 

And determined good plans and paths for me...

Once and for all 

He speaks His precious promises

That do not change or become obsolete...

Once and for all

He defeated death,

And reigns victoriously

Above all powers and authorities...

Forever I am His

Forever I am His delight

Forever He is faithful...

My once and for all God

My yesterday, today and forever God

We worship and adore You...

The Pathway of Pleasure

Today, I can enjoy the pathway of pleasure that the Lord has for me...
The pathway He planned for me before the foundations of the world
As He thought me into being and planned the good works
I would do and the destiny I would have...
The pathway that is graced with His Presence
With the honey drippings of His blessings
And a feast of His goodness along the way...

My enemies do not like the fact that I am on this path...
They set their traps of lies and deception
And attempt to turn my footsteps away
With their smooth talk, philosophies, and lies...
They have no intention of delighting me with good
 But only want to lure me into the darkness of pain and sorrow.

My God planned this pathway of pleasure
As He provided Himself so I could be here with Him...
His constant intercession on my behalf
Keeps me here.. on His pathway of delight...

He is the Keeper of my soul
My Champion God
My Daddy God
My Jesus
Who surrounds me with His love
And shields me with His kindness...

And I get to be here
With Him
Because I am His daughter
Today!! Not sometime in the future...
Today...in my everyday, every moment...

His pathway of pleasure!

Fully Accepted

I am fully accepted by God...

My eyes read His Words
And my mouth declares it
But does my heart believe...

This is something I can hardly fathom
Because it is not my experience here on earth...

Fully accepted?
Yes, my family loves me, knows me, accepts me,
But fully?
Every moment of every day?
Never a crevice of disappointment?
Never a negative thought against me?
This has not been my experience nor has it been something I have been able to do
To fully accept...

But my God fully accepts me,
Not because of how I perform, or what I do...
But because of who I am...

I am fully accepted
Because the blood of His Son covers me
And when He looks at me
He sees Jesus...

Jesus in me
Makes me fully accepted
Today and tomorrow and the next day...

My Mountain of Hiding

You are my mountain of hiding, Lord
When everything seems to invade
I need to choose which mountain I want to hide in...

I cannot hide in my mountain of troubles, my mountain of worry,
That mountain that puffs itself up in my face,
That constantly screams, “Climb me. “
And entices me with bitterness, resentment, fear, frustration...

Nor can I go to the mountain of this world
Where counsel is only from what is seen on the report,
Where “logic” and “advise” are only from the natural realm.

But there is another mountain that stands before me...
It stands out with radiance...
It is Your mountain, God
That has angels to assist me in the climb,
Angels to minister to me as I dwell there,
Divine supplies, an open portal to heaven...
The mountain of my God
Has a Help...
That not only comes alongside,
But dwells within me...as I abide here...
This mountain sings the song of deliverance, rescue,
It breaths hope and life...
It operates like the kingdom of God
With all the possibilities of heaven...

O God, help my soul to only choose Your mountain to dwell.

Trusting Thoughts

Let it be said of Dorothy
She trusted...
She trusted in her God
And He rescued her.
She called to Him for help
And she was saved...
Dorothy never trusted in vain!

Trusting in You God is such a privilege,
Such a delight, such a joy!

My trust is in my God
Who is always available
Always steady, always faithful...
The One who always accepts me and wants me.
My trust is in the Maker of heaven and earth
The King of Kings and Lord of Lords,
The One who loves me completely, wholeheartedly, perfectly.
My trust is in the One who never disappoints...

Trusting You, God
Tears down the enemies building blocks of destruction.
Trusting You, opens the portals of heaven
Releasing divine supplies...
Trusting You, releases the angels to minister, to deliver, to protect...
Trusting You, God
Keeps me climbing...
From glory to glory
Expecting You, believing You.
Trusting You, God
Saves me
From those dark enemies that come to steal,
Those enemies of fear, worry, disappointment, offense...

Yes, trusting in You, God
Is such a privilege, such a joy, such a delight!

Trusting in You God is never in vain!!!

A House Built by the Lord

As seeds are sown for generations to come...

I declare that in this house of righteousness
Life abides

Fruit from the tree of life grows
And is gathered
To be released to the world around
And to the generations to follow...

The atmosphere is created
For miracles, signs and wonders, and the greater works...

I declare that in this house of righteousness
Wisdom speaks
And revelation knowledge is released...

And tongues utter life giving words that release sweetness to the soul...

I declare that this house of righteousness
Trusts in the Lord
Instead on its own understanding...

I declare that this is a house where God shows up
Where peace and joy dwell...

I declare that power dwells in this house that God built
Because this house is covered with the blood of Jesus
And shelters His godly lovers...

Clothed with the righteousness
Of the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords

A house of faith...

But remains green and ever prosperous
Because the inhabitants of this house
Trust in their God
Yes, the Light is turned on at this house...
Because the Spirit of God dwells here with them!!
