Who am I

You've seen and yet don't believe, who am I, but of what my miracles testify,
You act as if I try to defy the Words I spoke forth when you weren't even alive,
Who can do what I do and not be from the Father?
You attempt to understand but you shouldn't even bother,
You're ears and eyes have been shut so this Prophet would be slaughtered.
You teachers of false law, you're gonners.

How great was your father Abraham?
Well, before I created Abraham, I AM

Burst

Overflowing, skins bursting, I'm so glad I told the Lord that I was thirsy
For His quenching water that comes at death's price,
Set the scales, tip the balance
Main course, the Bread of Life.
My joy is increasing over this broken pot that I am,
Mended by the Healer, wounds placed upon the Lamb
So deep in this joy that I'm drowning in His plan
My will conformed to His will, I'm caught up to the Son of Man

Heavy joy so thick it's hard to breath, in an out I feel Your presence, in and out my lungs heave.
To and fro, I sway, amazed at Your love displayed, Never like today have I been so allayed.

Grab my attention, deceived for a moment, mixed up in confusion, and like an explosion I've blown it.
Overwhelmed by grief, even though I'm saved, guilt walks by my side and he's well behaved.
Doesn't make a mention only makes his presence known, wait...since when have guilt and I been friends?
Then I begin to moan.
Why have I betrayed my Maker, I'm treasonous to the crown.
To His Kingdom I'm a traitor, my heart's already underground.

Stop...

I accept your forgiveness, and I reject this guilt. Once I would have agreed, but now I'm clean because of the blood he spilt.

Clean, just believe and confess. Clean, let go of the stress, that you have to do something in order to make it right, that's actually a lie black as night. The enemy wants you to think that in order to feel better, you have to do something of your own accord - that'll release the fetters.

"Chains come apart when you act for yourself....God's mercy, yeah that's good but it doesn't make me feel better, and you know you're justified when you feel better. Do some good deeds and then you'll be fine and can be assured that you're saved because the guilt won't leave until you justify yourself." - a lie

A poem for you

Spin cycle, pulling the water out of my soul,
It's ironic how these situations separate us,
Right at the time when my spirit is full.

In a state, left wrinkled and damp,
Taken by storm,
I can see heaven's light is a Lamp
unto my feet, the Light of the Morn',
Illumine my path.

Toss me in your Truth,
Fill me with your warmth,
Burn away all the filth,
Refresh me like heaven's dew.

Static energy from the fellowship
Power from the Source
Heat emanating from holiness
Stay hot, blaze the course.

Morning Prayer

Father, You alone are perfect. In all fullness You are mighty, holy, good, generous, loving, giving, just, jealous, righteous, faithful, and without sin. You tell us to be perfect even and You are perfect. Give us Your strength, Lord. Thank You for Your Spirit, and may you increase our faith and power to carry out the plans You've set before us. By Your power alone, good things get accomplished. You have forgotten our sins which, by your blood, were washed away. Lord, the enemy wants us to be OCD and continually be reminded of the guilt from which You've set us free. Let us not go about continually with our thoughts upon our depravity from what we once chose, but instead let us rest upon the righteous faith in You which, by your grace, has justified us in Your sight. Fan in us the flame of desire for Your return, Lord Jesus. Father, we love you. Forgive us our sins against Your holy name. We have been a corrupt, lying, theiving, murdering, adultering, blaspheming, coveting, and dishonoring people. Precious Jesus, draw us back to You, forgive us for such wickedness. Blessed be Your name. Because of Your being faithful and true, we sing praise to You. If we were not under Your blessing and protection, and if you had not first loved us, how could we expect to declare Your holiness and faithfulness to the world? Thank you Father. Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Amen (so be it).
