"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 foretaste 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!"

"EXPECTING!"

"The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, 

To the person who seeks Him." 

(Lamentations 3:25)

When we pray to the Lord fervently, we must "EXPECT" the answer! We have to believe that Almighty God hears us and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. (Hebrews 11:6) You say, "But, I've waited so long for the answer."  Don't give up!  You could be moments away from Victory!  Faith is "expecting" that answer continually, believing and looking up for the blessing coming down, knowing that your help is nigh your doorway, and within your heart is an excited expectant posture of Hope!  How long do we pray?  Until  ... Believe and pray as a little child, and wait with JOY!

   "Rest in the LORD and wait patiently for Him; Do not fret because 

of him who prospers in his way, Because of the man who carries out 

wicked schemes.  Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; Do not fret, it 

leads only to evildoing.  For evildoers will be cut off, But those 

who wait for the LORD, they will inherit the land."

(Psalm 37:7-9)

Ah, if you wait, you will inherit the land!  That means, because we are the descendants of Abraham, we receive the blessings of Abraham; we are partakers with Him, of the promises of God.  So, rest, believe, don't fret, don't envy those who are evil and who seem to get many blessings, but trust in Your Lord, who desires that You prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers. By the way, that word "rest" in the Hebrew is sometimes translated "Wait."  We're in this for the long haul; we didn't begin to quit; we ain't no ways tired; we shall reap if we faint not!  Praise Him, thank Him, worship Him, glorify Him!  You say, "But, it hasn't happened yet." Faith is seeing something done before it materializes.  Remember the Shunamite woman, who went to Elisha, because her son died of a heat stroke and lay dead on the bed at home  ...  and when asked if all was well with her, with her husband, and with her son, she replied, "It IS Well!" 

  "Cease striving (“be still”) and know that I am God …” 

(Psalm 46:10)

The key word in the above scripture is "rapha" which means 'relax, become motionless, hang limp, let go.'  Take a free fall into the arms of God and "wait."  When God pulls the arrow out of the quiver and shoots it for the target, the answer comes quickly. We must remember that while we're waiting, we should be learning, growing, understanding "why" there is a wait.  Is He growing "us" or the one we're praying "for?"  Are conditions right for the answer?  Is there a bigger picture going on that constitutes the wait?  Would giving us the answer be the very best thing for us, in God's eyes?  Is the wait accomplishing a move of God all around us?  The mind of Christ knows  ...  and we can know 'if' we "let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus." 

"Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, 

yet our inner man is being renewed day by day. For momentary, light 

affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, 

 while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which 

are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but 

the things which are not seen are eternal."

(2 Corinthians 4:16-18)

Keep looking up, keep expecting, keep believing, keep going, keep the faith!  You say, "That's easy for you to say; you don't know what I'm going through."  Bless your heart, dear one, but I do know some about waiting myself, and no, it's not at all easy sometimes; it feels like a long hot desert, and the sands are grinding on our nerves, the loneliness of the place is becoming unbearable; the winds just keep blowing with no "oasis" in sight.  But, we must fall back on the scriptures, the Holy Word of God, that says, "Weeping may endure for a night, but JOY comes in the morning," and so many other comforting scriptures.  God gave us His Word to ease our troubled minds, to guide and instruct us, and to show His unfailing love for His creation.

God's love never fails; we must not let our love for Him fail.  He's as close as the mention of His name  ...  JESUS!  Say it.  Whisper it.  Shout it.  It doesn't scare Him; He rather loves the "passion." Give Him your all  ...  and He'll give You the all that you were "EXPECTING!"

"King Size God!"

The heavens declare His glory; from a babe

in a manger, to the King of Kings

He IS the Great I AM; the Alpha and Omega,

of this, all of creation Sings

Hallelujah; our God is an awesome God, and

we bow before His majesty

The Lord of all and God of all; soon, none

will doubt His Deity

Holy, Holy, Holy, our Lord God Almighty;

we come with gratitude

To worship and praise our God and King, in

a humble and thankful attitude

For You are our Savior, our soon coming King,

the lover of our souls

Preparing for us the Holy City, the River of Life,

and mansions untold

Sing, O barren land, and shout to the treetops, for

the King arose; He lives

The sun sets at His bidding, and rises in the hearts,

of all He forgives

The earth reaches for its Maker, climbing high 

in clouds of beckoning 

For the One coming to the Mount of Olives, for a

showdown and reckoning 

Shout, Ye children of the King, for your hope and 

joy eternal has thundered

Everything kneels and surrenders to His voice, as 

He tears Hell and evil asunder

Heaven and earth proclaim His wonder, in the winds of

promise, where His angels trod

For nothing shall be impossible for the Lord of all,

Jesus Christ, our King Size God!"

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!"

"Spirit and Peace"

 When life is overwhelming, the Lord whispers sweet

peace, and my heart skips a beat

Because I hear His voice; it's the sound of comfort,

from the clouds beyond, and heaven's seat

When life's cares begin to thunder, and fears attempt

their ever boldface entrance 

I cling to the Word, stand fast in My Lord, and refuse

evil's ploy and debilitating hindrance

Then, heaven's light brightens my pathway, and thrills

my soul with joyful Christmas bliss

As I thank Jesus for His mercy, and for giving me

such a mighty holy blessing, as this

 

 

 

His beauty surrounds me, enfolds me, and caresses

me, in closeness like a glove

And I speak to Him in the Spirit, a tongue of Glory

coming down, in oceans from above

 

 

And the skies begin to open; my troubles start

to fade and dissipate 

It is something to behold, the power of God's love,

more than one can anticipate

Suddenly, I rise; I have the impetus to resume

my orders for the enduring climb

Because the Spirit gives me strength, and the desire

for mountain air, that is Oh so sublime

 

 

So, I started on my knees in the throes of all

the troubles, and atrocity

But, the Holy Ghost took me past earth's dilemmas,

in a wisdom search, with curiosity

 

 

Now, standing with hands raised in adoration and praise;

 My Lord gives the mighty release

He knows all the answers; His Spirit gives me wisdom,

and He Whispers Sweet Peace!
