The Christian Lover

Gotta catch, gotta catch, gotta catch my breath/one thought of them pins my chest/oh my lover, how your image is fine/your beauty of greatest design/oh my lover, how the Spirit shines/God's peace do I find/you've got my heart tangled up!/I know the One to praise/you've got my eyes lit up!/I know the One to thank/Palms sweat, body shakes/my God, what have you made?!/Lover, your lips are sweeter as you tell of His wonder/Lover, your arms are stronger as you show His nature/It's not just you and I/It's not just what we define/It's about looking up/It's what God has combined/Two become one is a mystery/Teach me about walking with Three and we'll make history/They're One in you and me/We're One in Him they'll see/What a treasure you are/but don't complete me/How special you are/but worship Thee/Lover, take my hand as we take Christ's/Lover, take my future as we make heaven our prize/Lover, take my affections as we till this garden/you're the one I'm hold'n/and I gotta catch, gotta catch, gotta catch this Breath

A Church Beckoning

People of YHWH-I don't know if you have ever experienced reading the holy scripture and the Holy Spirit is just constantly stringing things together, piercing your heart,  and so reminding you of the LORD's omniscient presence that it frightens you, but I pray you will!!!

Pray my brothers & sisters in Christ, for my and your faith to be strengthened-for the Lord knows how small it is!

A time is coming, if it hasn't already, that our faith (individually & corporately) will be tested and the Lord is calling us to prepare.

I feel it so heavy on my life now, that I wanted to stay bawled up in tears but God said, "Stand up."

I don't know what it all means that which He has been preparing me for, but I'm sure the Church needs to hear it as well-for we are one after all!

This is not a prophetic message, as the Lord as not given me that spiritual gift. This is not a message for the apocalypse, as this is something we must do NOW.

With me, Church, hand over your fears and cast your anxieties onto Him who casts no shadow, has perfect love, and who cares so deeply for us (1 Peter 5:7, James 1:17, 1 John 1:5 & 4:8).

The Lord Jesus has called you, washed you, and freed you (Heb. 2:10-13). Live like it (1 Cor. 6: 19-20).

Something is about to come, whether that be a season of the lowest valley or of highest peaks, may you be properly prepared.

We prepare our hearts by confessing that it is the Almighty that allows such things to pass and yet, He says "all things work together for the good for those who love me and are called according to my purpose." (Romans 8:28)

Do not be deceived, the Lord your God does but delight in evil or death but rejoices with the Truth, is slow to anger, and full of justice with mercy (Ezekiel 33:11, Psalm 103:8, 2 Peter 3:9).

How has the Lord told me to prepare that I now beckon you to do the same?

1) Know your identity in Christ (Ephesians 2)

2) Know your God as a good, good Father (Hebrews 12)

3) Know your mission field & mission (Matthew 10: 16)

4) Know how to fight against the real enemy (Eph. 6: 10-17, 1 Peter 5:8)

5) Know your weakness, be humble & repent, obey & submit to God (Proverbs 3 & 24:16, 1 John 1:9, James 4:6)

Wisdom is proved right by her actions. Thus, actions to be taken from this knowledge then is this:

1) let us draw near to God (Hebrews 10:22)

2) let us hold on to this hope in Christ (Hebrews 10:23)

3) let us spur each other on towards love (Hebrews 10:24-25)

The imagery given to me here was that of a baby monkey, clinging to their mother as she takes it through the different heights and branches. Are you a child resting in the arms of the Heavenly Father? (Ps. 131)

What is going on in your soul right now? Will you allow another day to pass without taking the Word seriously? What does this call and these actions look like for you right now?

"Be careful to pay attention, then, to how you walk-not as unwise people but as wise-making the most of the time, because the days are evil. So don't be foolish, but understand the what the Lord's will is."
-Ephesians 5:15-17
