"Prayer Is War!"

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, 

against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, 

against spiritual wickedness in high places."

(Ephesians 6:12)

Fight, Warriors of the Most High God; swing that sword with

power, and fight for the cause

The Lord Jesus Christ is our strength; His spirit goes before us,

we need not fear the devil's claws

We are Warriors in earth, fighting for truth and the gospel,

even as Warriors in the heavens intercede

Angels fight to bring our answers, battling fiercely in the second

heaven, with flashes of lightning streaks

Don't Give Up, weary Warrior, for the sands are filling the

hourglass, and time is winding down

Keep your eyes on the prize, a home with Jesus in the skies,

and the coveted soul winner's crown

Reap the harvest and fight the opposition, for he knows the

time is short, and he's on the loser's end

So, hold your head up, Saint, because the tormentor has an

appointment, with the flames to descend

We know we win; it's just a matter of the mind, holding fast to

the Name, the Word, and the Blood

Remember, when attacks begin that it's because the Glory's

about to fall; the Lord is coming like a flood

The battle is not ours; it's the Lord's, with His bared arm, that

Isaiah said would stretch before the Nations

We must stand our ground, be strong in the Lord and the power

of His might, and strongly guard our station

Every soldier has his place, his position, and his orders; we

zoom in on the target, it's the world of lost souls

And we fight on, knowing the reins are held by the Master;

He sets up, tears down, and has the controls

Those streaks in the night sky are glints from Angels' swords, as

they wield and rule the second heaven

They're fighting for us against satan, his imps, and the plots

and plans of the demonic hellions

We are not alone in this war; our Savior made provision, to

protect and defend us from all evil

Our prayers rise as torpedoes of blood-bought fire, and they

paint the skies like a canvas on an easel

The war will be strong and hard, but the victory's already won;

and the march of the Church is uniting

It's a new movement around the world, as Nations meet the

Savior, His redemption, and His love so inviting

The sheaves are gathering, and the harvest is greater than ever

before, all looking up, with a Unity roar

Rejoice Warriors; Joy comes in the morning, and the Lion of

Judah urges us to See that "Prayer Is War!"

"Return To Me!"

"I watch you in your hurt and pain," says the Lord,

and I long for your hand in Mine

Your struggles are before My face, I AM your comforter,

 and you are My own design

I wait for you and stand by as you strain to sleep, but

your burdens keep you awake

Don't you know that I love you and I shed my blood

for your heartache, all for your sake

Come unto Me; I was so hurt when you left Me, but I

have never left you nor forsaken you

For you see, I knew one day you would come back; you

would miss, and long for Me too

You are mine; your name is engraved in the scars in

My hands, forever to be known

My creation is My beloved, from Eden's dust, you are

the image of Me, My soul's groan

Have you not wandered too long, and your heart is so

weary, and aching for peace

Let My arms enfold you, wash away your sins, and

bring you a sweet release

Earth is My footstool, and the honest hearts draw My

eyes, to and fro from day to day

As I search for My own, and beckon them to My love,

from their lonely prodigal way

Come home, precious one, the fatted calf awaits, with

My robe of kingly stature

You can fall to your knees and be yourself now; put

aside the wayfaring actor

Let Me fill you with My Spirit, it's the JOY from above, 

and it's the reason why I came

Surrender your heart, and I will wash away your stains, as

 you obey, and are baptized in My name 

For I knew you from the womb; you were chosen to

be mine, a vessel for all to see

My arms are open wide, dear one, it's time to rise from

the dust, and "Return To Me."

"Leap As One"

"And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the

salutation of Mary; the babe leaped in her womb; and

Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost." 

(Luke 1:41)

Mary and Elisabeth were both pregnant with "destiny" babies, and the "leap" in the womb was one of immediate recognition.  Mary's first thought, after the angel visitation, after the Holy Ghost conception, after this Holy entrance that was changing her entire life, was to visit someone who understood  ...  Elisabeth's baby was the forerunner of Mary's baby, The Messiah; they would come together, rejoicing in their Miracles, to discuss their Holy visitations, to look into each other's eyes, and they would "Leap As One."
  

The name, Elisabeth, means "God is my oath."  Elisabeth was barren, but while Zacharias, her husband, was ministering in the Temple, he was visited by the Angel Gabriel, and was told he would have a son to be named John.  And the Angel said of John, "For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb." (Luke 1:15)  Elisabeth and Mary  ...  Miracles in waiting  ...

Mary and Elisabeth

Mary hurried to the only one who would believe her; who else in the entire world would understand the "holiness" of her situation, but Elisabeth?  Who would be the only other human who would not condemn her?  Who, but only another one, who also had an angel visitation, could possibly fathom her still awestruck explanation of a Holy Ghost birth?  Who else would give her strength through the long months of gossip, whispers, and stares?  Holy and miraculous happenings seek out other Holy and miraculous happenings, because miracles defy reason, and they lead us right back to "The" defier of reason, "The One" to whom "reason" reports!

The walker of faith seeks other faith walkers; the three Hebrews (thrown in the furnace because they would not bow to any other than THE God), were each glad they had two other allies.  It's a fact; dreamers like to cohort with other dreamers; mighty soul winners gravitate to other soul winners; those "carrying" a birth look for other birth carriers.  There's only one reason for people who have this "searching" and seeking ecclesiastical phenomenon; it's so they can "Leap" as one  ...

Mary and Elisabeth were two peas in a pod; they were One and unified in a mutual holy angelic happening.  Some things just go together: Holy Ghost and Fire, Paul and Silas, Noah and the Ark, Jesus Christ and His Church, Spirit baptism and water baptism in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, prayer and fasting, peace and joy, My Bible and me  ....  So, we can conclude that "unity" is a powerful commodity.  Our Lord said it; nothing is impossible to those who are unified in purpose.

Tower of Babel

Have you ever wondered where all the languages came from?  They came from the Tower of Babel.  The Bible states that after the flood, a united people, speaking a single language and migrating from the east, came to the land of Shinar, where they resolved to build a city with a tower, with its top reaching to the heavens.  The reason for this: "lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the earth."  God saw what they were doing and said, "They are one people and have one language, and nothing will be withholden from them which they purpose to do."  So, God confused their languages and they were forced to cease their building, because they could not understand each other, and they were scattered throughout the earth.  (Genesis 11:5-8)  Their "unity purpose" had an evil intent, to overthrow God, so it had to be thwarted.  Unity can be good or evil, depending on its aim.

   

Unified people with a "Holy" intention, carrying the same burden, marching with one purpose, anointed for the goal, strengthened with One power, walking in One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism, with the same word: By the Name of Jesus, the Blood of Jesus, and the Word of Jesus, "CAN" conquer the world!  It's all about going forth as One, following The One, for the One goal to go "UP" as One.

O, Mary and Elisabeth, we understand.  We always want to be around someone who also feels "the leap," who is expectant, who sees the "birth" is coming, who feels the joy of the new mysterious dimension, who knows the wonder of carrying a promise, and who also had a miraculous and holy, wondrous visitation.  O, Church: it's time to come together, people of the name, people of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and we must carry the torch arm in arm, from Sea to Sea, Nation to Nation, walking in the Word of Truth, and the Power of the Holy Ghost.  When we have accomplished our goal, and the trumpet sounds, we will disappear in the moment in the twinkling of an eye  ...   we will 
"Leap As One."

"The View From Up Here"

"...  To The Visionary, there is no horizon."

                                                                          ~ Kenneth Phillips ~

"Fishers of men" is the occupation in this life, for the

Christian saint, headed for paradise

Launching into the deep, we search beyond the known,

a quest which no fisherman dare advise

For whom are we looking, in the misty waters of life's

courses, so transparent in aura

We seek the honest-hearted of mankind, the ones to whom

 the Lord calls, from His garden of flora

They are the drowning, the lost, and the hungry; they

know they are in need of a Savior

Their hearts are broken; their lives are depleted, and

they're weary of sin's behavior

Give up, O waters, your treasures so precious; hands are

reaching, to pull you from the depths

And set you in the precepts of God's Word, where the

beauty of the Lord Jesus is kept

Your ashes will be washed clean, by the living waters of

God's Spirit, and the power of His name

As you dive into His glory, and you're consumed by His

love, and His eternal holy flame

The Visionary sees the world as a victory already won,

and waters already sailed

For he carries the burden of the heart of His God, and the

cause for which He was nailed

O, sinking mankind, keep your head above the water,

and scan the seas without fear

For there's a Visionary coming; there was no horizon, and

he saw you in "The View From Up Here."

"He Shall Hear!"

"And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, 

because we keep his commandments, and do those 

things that are pleasing in his sight."

(1 John 3:22)

It happens in a sudden moment in time; our prayers going up have 

 a heavenly response, from portals above

The obstacles that have hindered, and the devil's ploys to delay,

 are broken with an angelic hand, and a shove

What a moment it is when our answer arrives; we've prayed so

 long, but then the door is opened in a flash

We are left gaping in awe at the miraculous event; It's like rain

 falling in a spectacular sudden splash 

Our God is never late; we don't know why the delay, but we trust

Him, and now it seems to be right on time

It's like the precise movement of a clock, when the hour has come, 

 there's a sound of victory with a chime

We look up with thanks from a heart full of love, to the One who

 hears, and answers the cries of His beloved

He has bestowed His blessing upon us, and it flows down like a

 gentle wafting breeze, clad in a velvet glove

It's a lesson we must learn to never stop praying, and never give

 up, for we belong to Him and we know 

In all things He has our best in mind, and He will give, as we give

 all of us to all of Him, as we bow and grow

The circle is complete when Creator and creation flow in a never

 ending power, of our hands to His hands

And, it flows back and forth like the turning of an hourglass, with

 the falling of its positioned obedient sands

Trust is our bond with the One who formed this "dust;" and we can

 never underestimate His love, and His gifts

We just have to learn to move with the cloud by day and the fire by

 night, as the mind of our Maker ebbs and shifts

He leads us up the mountain, holds us in still waters, and woos us

 to His hiding place, of love in His arms 

We are forever awakened by His sweet whispers at dark, and His

 comfort rendered by His omnipotent charms

Our Lily of the Valley leaves an aroma in our midst; when our

 answer rests upon us, like a lingering mist

It's like God has touched us, and the world doesn't know this smile

 is because we've been heaven kissed

It's a tryst between us and the Lover of our souls, an eternal pact

 with the One, who is a covenant maker

He's our foundation of power, our Spirit of glory, our mighty

 strong tower, and our Holy Ghost anchor

Nothing can separate us from our Lord God; we're sealed by His

 blood, confirmed by His Spirit, and His love

It's a holy cord not easily broken; only we ourselves can sever the

 alliance; it's something the world knows not of

So, when the Lord sends Angels that bring to us, in an instant, the
 long awaited blessing, from prayer cried in His ear

We can only bow in response to the One who made a covenant with
 His own, that when we obey, "He Shall Hear!"
