"Be It Unto Me!"









"And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; 
be it unto me according to thy word. And 
the angel departed from her."
(Luke 1:38)


Come unto me all ye who are heavy laden and I will give you rest;
  in my arms, I'll be enfolding, and sustaining you
I whisper my love into your fearful mind; you'll not be forsaken; 
 I'm hovering ever, like the early morning dew
Your times are in My hands and I will not put more on you than
you can bear; My love for you is eternal
You're My child forever; My love is everlasting, not wafting in 
 the winds; it's not momentary, nor temporal
For your name is carved in the palms of My hands; your face is
ever before Me; you are my treasure
I have a place prepared for you, that where I am, you may be
 also; it's glory and beauty beyond measure
Lean on Me, when your burdens are weighty and your fears are  
 strong, for I AM your peace; I AM your song
It is to Me you should cling; I will uphold you; the blood I shed
 protects you; it is to Me you belong
Cast your cares upon Me; I will wipe away your tears, calm your 
every fear, and carry your heavy load
I AM your Savior, your Lord, your Redeemer; in Me you will
 find rest; in Me you dwell, and make your abode 
Come, weary Saint, and mount up with your wings so strong, and
 your Eagle's flight, and rise above it all
Ascend to My voice, fly with the air currents and follow the
 winds of My beckoning; Oh, please, answer My call
Wherever you are, My precious loved one, is where I AM, for you 
 are never out of my sight, never forsaken or alone
Nothing shall by any means ever hurt you, if you stay away from 
 hellish Sin, and the devil's fire and brimstone
My ways are perfect, holy, pure, and the aroma of My love is ever 
surrounding you, in billows of holy power
My own Angels watch you sleep, and they battle to bring Me
 your prayers, that the evil one will not devour
Be at peace, my child, for I'm your source of all that's good, and
your answer in this dying world of trouble
Let not your heart be entangled with all the lusts, the cares, the
 riches, and the trauma of earth's sinful rubble
For I have come to set you free, raise you up, fill your spirit, and
 wash away the things that destroy and kill
Won't you take My hand, walk with Me, let go of the world, and
 give Me your heart, your love and your will
When you dwell in Me, and you're filled with My Spirit, baptized
 in My name, and leaving behind the old facade
I will be your anchor, your Lord, the soft pillow for your head in 
 times of need; I will be there, I AM your God
When the trials are heavy and the pain seems never to cease, lean
 against My chest, for My best you will see
As destiny unfolds and your pleas have been answered, you will
 remember when you prayed, "Be It Unto Me!"

"HUNGER!"


 
 



The finite mind cannot comprehend the limitless
chasms of a God mind of infinity
Your scope of thought has no range, no end, no barrier,
from which mortality has an affinity
We search to know, O God, the intricacies of wisdom
beyond our reasoning capacity
Though the realms of human "dust" have boundaries, we
seek with a hungry longing audacity
Show us Your Glory, Your wisdom, Your power, Your
face and Your essence, we cry
All the while, You say, "Behold My form and cover
Your unknowing eyes, as I walk by"
You've called us apart, to a separation of growth; it's a 
 preempt to "birth" for the end time
And, it's alone on the crag where we receive the 
insight and the strength for the climb 
Omnipotent and Holy, full of mystery and aura, are
the shadows of Your mystique
In this darkness of moon calls, we are drawn to Your
holiness, in new hunger to critique
Come closer, O Lord, in more intimate communion; 
it's the reason you brought us here
The inner tapestries of You are the fabrics of our desire,
that we are so longing to be near
In the aerie's dampness and cold, our prayers echo in 
loneliness, where only You are our source
You must get us quiet and away from the crowd, to show
us Your will, in a manner not forced
So, we yield to Your Spirit and enter in to the solitude,
waiting for Your whispers and orders
It's not hard to hear You in this place, for all the sounds
bounce from rock to rock, on these corridors
With the touch of slight wind upon our furrowed brows,
we strain for more, with hearts of craving
Your presence is too profound for such brief intervals
of wisdom, for prophets now in waiting
Give us a foretaste of entrance to Your Glory and show
us the vision, as we abide for tomorrow
We shall emerge with knowledge and a view of glory,
when we leave this place we've borrowed
Grant us Your door into our existence of watching
for our Lord, and the Lion who's coming
And give us a glimpse of eternity's ecstasy of Your
presence forever, a thought so stunning
It's a promenade of Your Holy Word, as it hovers in our
spirits, and then settles in our hearts
It brings a barrage of desire, as we pray for ways to draw
nearer, for more of You to impart
It's a preempt to "birth," this apex dwelling that You 
have called us to, and drawn us away
We are set apart to "groan" deeper in the auspices of 
Your mind, and to this we pray 
For we are in love, dear Lord, with the Savior of the
world, and the Redeemer of mankind
It's a love beyond reason, stemming from the very God of
wonder, that all men can find
We gladly enter this place of mist and auras, and we kiss 
the noisy world 'goodbye,' with wonder
Then we behold the higher, and partake of Your mystery
on the peak of learning, called "HUNGER!"

"End To Begin!"




"For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. 
And this is the victory that has overcome the world-our faith."
(1 John 5:4)

"For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so
 cometh as a thief in the night."
(I Thessalonians 5:2)



We're coming to the end of the Church Age,  the beginning of Glory for the "caught up" Christian, and the beginning of judgment for a sinful unrepented earth.  That day will be a day like no other!  The headlines will read, "Millions missing!"  Car crashes, plane crashes, train derailments, people wandering the streets crying, Nations in an uproar, Church buildings full  ...  Huh?  Oh yeah, the Churches will be full of unbelievers, who now are seeking, searching, weeping, wondering, scared to the marrow of their bones  ...  Why?  Their families, friends, acquaintances  ... are missing!  What happened?  Where are they?  People from every walk of life are missing  ... firefighters, police, officials, Senators, housewives, bosses, employees, preachers, children, babies  ... all missing, and they are unaccounted for.  It will be as it was prophesied; it will be a day like no other; it will be the day the earth gave up the righteous to the Lord in the air, and the remaining in earth entered into judgment; it will be a day of much deep pain, heartache, and tears for those who are left and "know;" it will be chaos and terror like the world has never known.  Guess What?  It happened  ...  Jesus Christ came  ... "like a thief!"

"For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the
voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in
Christ shall rise first:  Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught
up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air:
and so shall we ever be with the Lord."
(I Thessalonians 4:16-17)

The Lord Jesus Christ will come like a thief in the night; He comes for something of value; He comes to remove His own before He pours out judgment on the earth for those who did not repent of their sins, for those who loved pleasure more than holiness, for those who ignored the Word of God and did their own thing, and for those who did not receive His love, His gospel, and His redemption message.  Jesus Christ is a Just God; He does not punish the righteous with the sinners.  He knows what's coming and He is pushing His Church to gather in all who will come, before it's everlasting too late.  He loves us so much; He is not willing that ANY be lost or perish.

"Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; obey it,
and repent.  But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief,
 and you will not know at what time I will come to you."
(Revelation 3:3)


No man knows the day or the hour the Lord will come.  But, He will come  ...  and we must be ready! 

"Let me tell you a secret. Not all of us will die, but all of us will be changed-
in a moment, faster than an eye can blink, at the sound of the last trumpet.
Indeed, that trumpet will sound, and then the dead will be raised never
to decay, and we will be changed."
(I Corinthians 15:51-52)

Don't you think it would be wise of us to heed the call, get ready, and prepare for this event, repent, be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of our sins, be filled with the Holy Ghost and speak with tongues as the Spirit of the Lord gives us the utterance?  It's not a hard thing He asks us to do; it's not difficult; it's just three things, and then live holy until the sound of the trumpet.  The Bible says it will be like it was in the days of Noah before the flood came and destroyed everyone.  They were eating and drinking, marrying, and they were warned over and over, but Noah was mocked, laughed at, and ridiculed as he patiently built the Ark.  Preachers today are ridiculed and mocked  ...  just recently a well known News Journalist asked this question on the air, "Where is the sign of His coming?"  They laughed then; they laugh now, but God doesn't make idle comments.  If He said He will come as a thief in the night  ...  He will!  And, if He said He loves You with an everlasting love  ...  He does!  If He said He Is the Lord of Lords and King of Kings  ...  He IS!

There is a God who rules the universe, who said to Job, "Where were you when I laid the foundations of the world?"  He did not leave us without information, without instruction, without the impetus to make our hearts, spirits, souls, and bodies ready for Him.  The Holy Bible tells us all we need to know, how to be ready, how to stay ready, and what to expect.  The Books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are the gospels and they tell us about the virgin birth, life, death, burial and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.  The Book of Acts is where the Church began and this is where we go to find out how to be saved (Acts 2, Acts, 8, Acts 10, and Acts 19).  The Books of Romans to Jude tell us how to live holy "after" salvation, after repentance, baptism in His name, and the infilling of the Holy Ghost.  The Book of Revelation is the fulfillment of all things.  The Old Testament is a prophetic foretelling of the New Testament.  We have been well informed, and very well prepared for the One in whom we place our eternal souls.



You say, "I've heard about the end as we know it for years."  The people of that day heard about the flood for over 100 years in Noah's day too.  Many of the prophecies in the Bible have come to pass just as they were prophesied.  This is not to scare anyone; we prepare when the Weather forecasters tell us a tornado is in our area and to take cover; we prepare when hurricanes are shown to be headed for our States and cities; we prepare for cold weather and heat waves; we prepare for weddings and funerals; we prepare for just about everything we do in this life  ...  Don't you think we should prepare for the place we will live for all of eternity, the Rapture of the Church to make a way of escape for us before judgment comes? 

 

What should we do?  Get Ready, stay ready, get everyone we know and we see ready; He's coming  ...  It's the "End To Begin!"

"He's Coming!"



"And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the 
bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him."
(Matthew 25:6)






It was like an Awakening of the soul and spirit, when at first we felt Your touch of love, so utterly sublime. "How can my heart flutter with such joy, and my spirit feel so free in glory and beauty?" we wondered at the time.  Oh, it was the One who held us as dust, and formed us by His love, who caressed us with His Holy hands.  He's the Creator of the universe, who loves what He made; He watches o'er the earth, His own created lands.

It's no wonder when a soul looks in His eyes, with love returned in 
 worship, that His Spirit floods our beings
And, it's more than prickling chill bumps, tinglings, the rampage of
 mortal emotions, and run amok feelings


No, it is holy power unspeakable and full of glory, the explosion of heaven, from portals beyond our knowing. Ah, it's like rain, snow, fragrant breezes, winds of fire, the scent of roses and a niagara of love, unleashed and flowing.  "Take me, I'm Yours," is our fervent cry, from lips touched by heaven's flames, and hearts instantly remade.  The lover of our souls has invaded us with ecstasy, and now we've been made clean; we're righteously arrayed.
  


No love can compare to our Savior's relentless mercy, love and
 grace; we are humbled to our trembling knees
And, as we bow, we're mounting up like eagles, soaring in His
 embrace, flying above snake lines, to lofty aeries

No human can describe the splendor of the Holy Ghost and fire, that erupts like a volcano, in glorious joy.  The strings of our hearts sing in tongues, as we're carried away in  the arms of love; it's a heavenly awing ploy. We experience a "Maranatha" before its time, as our Redeemer takes up residence, in His home of reformed dust.  And, we get a foretaste of paradise in an earthly moment, a dance rises in the freedom, of the once sinful and unjust.

Oh, there's nothing like it; it's a lilt of the soul, diving to depths
 and climbing to heights, in one swoop of delight
And the light floods our bodies in a miraculous consumption, of
 the dregs from hopelessness, and darkness of night


We fly like we have wings, released to explore the flames of the Holy Ghost, in a triumph of seeking wonder.  "Who wouldn't want more?" we ask, when we consider the power that roared through our souls, like shaking thunder.  So, the chords of singing fill the stillness in the air, when at last we settle into our abode, above earth's woes and cares.  We have become new and shining from His light and love; it's apparent to all who know us, from their oft stares.  The dust has become a new creation, infilled with Love from the Lover of our souls.  He has touched our tongue with fire, and our quivering lips with hot coals.   



It was "the experience;" from Acts 2 and 38, that joined us to
 Jesus, and cleared us from all our sins and wrongs
Ah, it is beautiful, it's like awesome mystery, unfolded in a rush of 
glory, the Word from above, in us; it's like a song

We're His Bride, His Church, His beloved, His creation, and the
 "dust," whom our God died and arose loving
It's time to look up, O mighty Saints; the time is drawing nigh; the
 trump will announce Him; "He's Coming!"
