"Willing!"







Almighty God IS a Spirit, and hath not flesh and bones; He needed
 a body to die on the cross, and erase Sin's doom
He chose a virgin girl, and she was overshadowed by the Holy
 Ghost, with Jesus Christ formed in her womb
It was a plan like no other, God "born in the flesh," and grew to a
 Man; then, He died on a cross to redeem the world
He used a humble vessel, who risked reputation and favor, to obey
 God's word; she was just sixteen, a young girl
And, it all started with a surrendered girl's womb that carried
 The Miracle to birth, to a cross, and then He rose
He's alive in our souls, because He sent back His Spirit, as He said
He would, defying all logic and status quos
As it was in the beginning, so it is now, God searches for those who
 will come away and delve into His plans
The end time clock is ticking and He has not much time; we're in
 the last days according to the hourglass sands
Who will forego the pleasures of earth and climb the mountain to
 the aerie, where God's prophecies are birthed
Not many will go there; it's lonely and heart-rending; it takes 
 groaning and prayer, with the face to the earth
For even as Simeon and Anna prayed the arrival of the Promise;
 the last days must pray His return completion
So, who are the six, like Joseph and Mary, Simeon and Anna, 
 Zacharias and Elisabeth, who will bring descension
They must offer a "womb," which is 'a place where something is
 formed,' and allow a stretch of their souls
It's a journey into dimensions of ethereal domains, and a climb
 into God's mind, with our lips touched by hot coals
Ah, few can weather the trek; it's deserts and brooks, a venture
into the unknown, and a misty sojourn alone 
But, it crosses the barriers of finite vision and enters the gates of
birth in the Spirit and growth in the unknown
Can He find His chosen vessels of purpose and passion, who feel
 His burden, His impetus and His urgency
They must be like Mary, and say those words, "Be it unto me,"
 and give all, like her back then, you see
Births cannot be hidden, when they're growing to completion; they
 cause looks and disdain, if they're not proper
But, Mary knew what she faced, and she bore it to fulfillment; she
 was chosen of God, and nothing could stop her
Today, Jesus Christ groans for others to let His will be formed in
 them; they must offer themselves for His use
The facts that we are mortals, made of earthly "dust," does not
 deter Him; He made us, and that's no excuse
Who will be consumed with Holy Ghost power, become out of the
 ordinary and stretched beyond our limits
Who will grow with the forming of birth, in a form of the Spirit to
 bring back the Lord, in the faces of grimace
He's looking for a place to make His abode, in the soul of His
 Bride; it's a spiritual Holy Ghost infilling
It's a pursuit of the Eternal for that mortal who surrenders to be
 stretched to immortal, and who is "Willing!"

"Experiencing The Glory!"

 




"Be exalted, O God, above the heavens, and let 
Your glory be over all the earth."
 (Psalm 108:5)


Mankind will know your power, your majesty, and the beauty of
Your holiness; it will fall like pouring rain
O, gather together all ye people and look up, for your redemption 
 draweth nigh, coming down from an ethereal domain
Your Spirit, Lord Jesus, will fill all flesh and earth will glow like
 the morning dew, because Your beauty will be known
It will dwell in the souls of hunger, where once the seeds of the
 Garden's Sin, from the first Adam, were sown
But, You, the second Adam, have brought salvation and light, to
 fill the darkness with an eternal omnipotent glow
Only those who partake of Resurrection's Lion will awake to
 newness of life, and in the Spirit, they will know
There is ONE God who sits on the throne and Your name is Jesus
 Christ, reigning with impetus of wisdom for all
You shall call the Nations and kindred to Your love, and every
 knee shall bow humbly, in the groans of prayer shawls
"Be it unto me," is the cry of the obedient heart, and the surrender
 of every earthly concession, to the One who IS
It will be a day like no other, when Joel 2:28 is manifested, and
 Almighty God of heaven claims what is His
The winds are blowing with angelic feathery wisps, as Holy portals
 prepare for homecoming, and the Groom's tryst
Ah, the new song will be sung when all have arrived to bow down
 before You, and at last God's feet will be kissed
The worship will overtake You as crowns are cast, because it's You
 we long to see, Lord; it's You that Your beloved seeks
It's Your Spirit, Lord Jesus, we've felt for so long, as we yearn for 
 a face to face encounter, in the heavenly mystique
We will abide in Your Spirit, listening for the Rapture sound, as we
 climb for more of You, and await Your arrival
As we watch and pray, we'll dance before You with glee, in mortal
 offerings of aromas of worship, an eternal recital
It's a Holy resurgent Tabernacle of David, as Your created "dust"
 Awakes, and rises to the prophetic end
The scribes of old foretold it; at evening time there shall be light,
 and the brightness of Joel was penned
Even as the shepherds were astounded at the announcement of the
 angels of Your birth, on that lonely night
The angels will announce again, of our meeting in the air, with the
 sound of a trumpet and our soon flight
We position ourselves Lord, for the fulfillment of all things, the
 triumph to come, and the finality of the story
The Mountain, Miracles, Money, and Harvest are the blessings 
 of Your hand, and we'll be "Experiencing The Glory!"

"A Date With The Mount of Olives!"


"And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before 
Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof 
toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; 
and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, 
and half of it toward the south."
(Zechariah 14:4)

Take a good look at that foot, O ye children of the King, for He set
 foot in earth, first as the flesh of God
He will come again, with hair white as wool, eyes aflame, and feet
 of brass, to stand upon this ever waiting sod
When His baby foot first toddled the ground, those tiny toes were
 bound and destined for a later kingdom date
It was the foot of a King, destined to be nailed to a cross, but three
 days after a tortuous death, would walk in fate 
The tomb couldn't hold down those feet, and the world will tremble
 at the sound, when they again make their descent
He came to die, to live, to come back for His own, and reclaim His
 world; the lost and the devil will lament
God's plan is unfolding; we celebrate His birth and the wonder of
 those little feet, that later walked on water
Our Lord Jesus Christ knew He would leave for just little while,
 and return to dispel satan's hellish fodder
When God makes a date; He's always right on time; He holds the
 universe in His hand, and time is His call
He walked the path of flesh's status to redeem mankind to a new
 Eden forever; He brought salvation to all
He said He would never leave nor forsake us; the footprints ahead
 are those that we follow, our Lord and King
He walks with us in our deserts, stands with us by the brook, and
 carries us in the valley; that's why we sing
They were not just baby feet in that manger that night; they were
 feet like no others, shedding Holy blood
Now, we can be healed and saved, baptized in His name, and filled
 with His Spirit, that comes in like a flood
That little foot that lay in a manger later stood in the face of death
 and burst from a tomb, jingling keys as it strode
It stepped into Hell and took over death and the grave; there's two
 of them and they make the universe their abode
And, the feet of the King of Kings knelt to wash the disciples' feet;
they were feet of humility, but mighty in power
We shall see Him come walking in the clouds, when we meet Him
 in the air; we're getting close to that hour 
So, it's time for all to take notice of that tiny manger foot, and all
 of its significance; it's truth and it's solid 
The Lord Jesus Christ IS King of Kings, and His feet are coming
again for "A Date With The Mount of Olives!"

"She Gave!"





"And Mary said, "My soul doth magnify the Lord.  
And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior." 
 (Luke 1:46-47)


Christmas, 2017:  A time of reflecting upon what it's all about  ...  Angels visiting people, The virgin birth, shepherds falling to the ground at the glowing light and brush of angels' wings  ...  the holiness of it all, the purity and simplicity, yet it's miraculous, spellbinding, astonishing, and awesome.  However, none of it would have happened; there would have been no miraculous conception; there would be no celebration of God born in the flesh if there had not been a positive response from one young girl; if there had not been those words, "Be it unto me according to thy word;" if there had not been the yielding of creation to her Creator; if it had not been for the fact that a young girl gave herself to be used by God and ridiculed by men; she gave a gift to the entire world   ...  "She Gave!"

Depiction of Mary, mother of Jesus


Mary's soul was deeply and totally connected to her Savior, before the angel visited her.  One must be intimately involved with the God of the universe to get angel visitations of this magnitude.  What if Mary had said, "I just can't do it; it's too much to ask of me."  But, she didn't.  What if she had said, "I need some time to think about this; this will turn my life upside down."  But she didn't.  What if she had said, "I'm about to be married; what will he think?"  But she didn't.  Her first response was "the cry of her soul," and it was 'worship;' it was surrender; it was unquestioning obeisance; it was an immediate realization and response to her God whom she knew personally, because her soul was tied to him in praise continually.  "How do you know?" you ask.  Through all of the accounts in the Gospels of the annunciation, Mary did not hesitate for one moment; she was genuinely accustomed to "magnifying her Lord and God;" her prayers preceded the 'cry of her soul.'  

       Depiction of Mary, mother of Jesus


What would we do with a Holy angel visitation and a request of God to use us in this way?  How intimate are we really with the Holy God of our own eternal Souls?  Do we have such a rapport with Him that He could ask us anything? Are we soldiers armed with armor, but armed with surrender to our King?  Abraham had it  ... He rose "early" to trek up the mountain to sacrifice his promised son, Isaac.  As my Pastor put it once; "we, if asked to do such a thing, would have waited until at least noon"  ...  You say, "Well, we live in different times; God wouldn't visit us with an angel, and He wouldn't ask us to do something questionable, like that."  No?  He IS the same God; He was born of a virgin, nailed to a cross, died a gruesome death, buried in a tomb, arose the third day, and He IS alive forevermore!  So, you're right; that will not happen again; "It Is Finished;" however, Almighty God has multitudes of plans for His world, for which He needs some volunteers.  Volunteers for what?  Those who have it  ...  "that cry" in the soul  ...  they know  ...


                                                        
Depiction of Jesus praying before the crucifixion


There's a "cry of the soul" from those who give of themselves before earth-changing happenings.  And, Jesus Christ, our Lord, felt the cry, the weight, and the sins of the world laden upon His soul, and so heavy were they that He sweat great drops of blood, while agonizing in the Garden.  He drank the cup of every sin imaginable into His sinless Holy body  ...  the redemption of all mankind was ruminating in the Soul of a Holy God  ...  Yes, it was a CRY of the soul in that Garden, a wailing of the Creator for the dust He formed into man, a grief beyond all grief, a travail in earth that was heard echoing through the portals of a still anxious heaven; a wringing of the hands for multitudes of angels who were created to minister to Him  ...  but they could do nothing  ... 



"My soul doth magnify the Lord ..."
                                                                    

The Cry of the soul brings angels every time!  You say, "But, I pray; no angels have ever appeared to me."  They are there.  They are all around.  One cannot utter "Holy, Holy, Holy," without the heavenly hosts gathering those soulful cries, and carrying them in feathery flight to the Master.  The Holy One of Israel listens intently when "the dust" spreads its wings and soars to the throne room in worship  ...


Christmas time is very lonely for the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, Jesus Christ, because so many have no prayer, no worship of the One who loves them, no giving of themselves to their Creator, who gave all.  "What in the world do you mean?" you ask.  The "soul" is of ultimate interest to the Ultimate God.  The body goes back to dust  ...  But the soul  ...  The soul lives on forever  ...  in Glory or in fire  ...  So, the "soul" must be in tune with its Creator; it must have a synchronization with the sound of the trumpet, with the rumblings in the heavenlies, with the groans of the Spirit, with the brushes of angels' wings, with the   ...  beckoning of the altar  ...

O, Mary, You set the high bar for all of us, the place of the visitation of the soul, the vision our eyes must behold, the climate of aura we long to enter, the magnification and glorification of the Creator by the one thing within us that expresses the need for salvation  ...  the giving of our hearts and souls to our Lover, our Lord and Savior, our Holy God.  We have salvation today, because Mary did what we all must do ...  "She Gave!"
