"After The Cross"

"Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near 

Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey away.  When they had entered the city, 

they went up to the upper room where they were staying; that is, Peter and John 

and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James

 the son of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.  These 

all with one mind were continually devoting themselves to prayer, along with the 

women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.…"

(Acts 1:12-14)

The Holy Ghost; what is it like?

It's like a rapid running steed racing in steady stride, effortlessly 

moving in a state of power and ecstasy 

Your Holy Spirit moves within me, O Lord, and pulls me higher, 

ever so steadily and excitingly breathlessly  

I cling to Your Holy presence as we leave the confines of earth's
 gravity, and we move with the power of the wind 

No, it's not a dream; it is far beyond the auspices of mere mortal
imagination, and the faraway realm of pretend  

It's a Spiritual venture into the ethereal, among clouds of glory 

and a light from God, so profound and intense  

There's no human distraction in this place of beauty, and there's 

no falseness or manufacturing of pretense

Oh, the unspeakable Joy of Your hand reaching for me, to glide

 in the misty moments of early morning dawn  

The earth is so far beneath us; I long to rise higher to the Gates 

of Pearl, where I'm so continually drawn 

To chase Your amazing love is the wind beneath my wings, that 

draws me closer to my heavenly groom  

It's the constant yearn of my soul, the pounding of my heart, and 

the eternal depth of the unseen vision's womb  

Oh, to fly away with my Beloved among the billowing clouds to the

dimensions, passing the confines of time  

No, there is absolutely nothing like it, my love; the altitude

 renders unknown beauty the higher we climb

And, I dwell with my love forever, in His beautiful Eden paradise, 

so peaceful, holy, pure, and lovely  

It's Glory untold in prisms of color, surrounded by voices of

 Holy's, in a feathery angelic covey

Oh, mighty winds, take me on up to my faraway home, above

the noisy mundane unholiness of earth

And settle me in my forever mansion beside Life's river, the

eternal destiny of my holy new birth

With each new gust, we rise in breathless wonder, and we soar in

 the auras among lightning and thunder  

It's the Holy Ghost and fire that frees my soul, breaking the 

holds of wickedness and the chains asunder  

The majesty of it all is far beyond the human words of splendor, 

spectacular, awesome and omnipotent  

Lord, You are the essence of words we've never uttered in the 

auspices of the Holy and magnificent  

Blow, trumpet blow, draw me and whisk me to my Lord in the air, 

away from the world of evil, earth's dross 

I'll take flight at His call and His Word, when the final trumpet

sounds; it was His promise "After The Cross."

The 120 waiting in the Upper Room for the 

promise of the Holy Ghost

(Acts 2)

Peter told the crowd what they must do to be saved, 

Acts 2:38; it is what we all must do!

"The Good Ole Days"

"We give praise and thanks to You, O God, we

praise and give thanks; Your wondrous works declare
that Your Name is near and they who invoke

Your Name rehearse Your wonders."

(Psalm 75:1)

O, Lord, Our God; we exalt and magnify Your name in wondrous 

awe, at Your beauty and glory in our midst

You have poured upon us the abundance of Your Spirit, sent down 

 in showers of blessings, too many to even list

Your Holy name reigns above the earth, like a canopy of Glory
 hovering in Your splendor for all to see

You are the center of our Joy, the essence of our peace, and the 

 Spirit within us, so bountiful to set us free

How meticulous You are with Your care for Your beloved, Your 

 bride, in the "dust" of the confines of earth

Yet, You make us feel as though we soar in winds of floral aromas, 

 as we rise in Your presence on wings of mirth

You have lifted us above the mundane and set us among angels, to 

 fly high above our woes in billows of Your Spirit

You have given us Your peace, that drowns out earth's noise and

   terror, so that we we do not cower or fear it

You're the light of our pathway, the glow on our faces, and the

 sparkle in eyes that strain to envision Your beauty

To love and serve You is our pleasure and our honor, as we bow
 in  obeisance in Your presence; it's our Joy, not a duty

O, the wonders You perform are so mighty and miraculous; we
 are astounded at Your majesty, ever aglow in our eyes

You are always our Savior, not just in baptism and Spirit, but You 

 bring clarity to our minds, binding satan's disguise

You're our Lily of the Valley, our Bright and morning star, and

Your whispers in the moonlight peak our yearning

Maranatha! is our cry as we wander the ground that is not our

 home, and we seek You for higher learning

Thank You Lord, for redemption's price, for Your blood, Your

 Word, and Your name, our eternal legacy

O, Lord, if the world does not receive Your gift of salvation, love,

 and peace; it will be the greatest travesty

Our Lord, we beckon to one and all to partake of Your love, to be

 filled with Your Spirit, and baptized in Your name

It was the reason You bled, died, and rose again; Your sacrifice 

 was our permanent reprieve; it's why You came

You, O Lord, are LOVE personified, wrapped in velvet gloves of 

 holiness and purity, a Glory untold to behold

Your coming for us in the clouds is our ever thought; our prayers

 long for the skies to open and prophecy to unfold

No words, O Lord, can be found to exemplify our gratitude for all

 You have done for us, and Your love so profound

So, we give our hearts in postures on our knees, as we kiss Your
 feet, abiding for our heaven, home bound

You have given us authority in the earth that is not our home, and

 we stand tall in Your name and Spirit, with latitude

You have freed us, Lord, with Your blood and Your name; so we 

 offer Your light to the world, in an attitude of gratitude
Ah, these many years we've served You, O Lord, have drawn us
 closer to You in so many wondrous ways 
Today, we remember that You've always been there, and we long
 for the thankfulness of "The Good Ole Days."

"In His Hand"

 

This is a Word from the Lord to His beloved:

"I AM hovering over you, My beloved ones," says the Lord.  

"Draw nearer to Me, and lay aside every heavy weight; loose yourself from the world's hold; and free yourself to be raised by Me. I AM so close to you; I will protect you, and you will not be harmed when you are close to Me. Be not afraid of the terrors of this world, for I have provision for you; I have reserved a place for you; I AM your God. Let go of all that ties you to this world, for I have a place for you that where I AM, you may be also. Have I not said this to you? Give, and it shall be given to you; hold back nothing from Me, for time is short and the hand who holds you will come for you; the voice who whispers to you will call you. 

 I AM very close." Says the Lord of Hosts.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The omnipotent God of Creation is the mighty Lion of Judah,

the Lamb slain for the world's sins, and He reigns

He is Jesus Christ our Lord; He is all Wisdom; and He rules with consummate Glory, over our earthly domain

The universe responds to the whispers and the thunders of His

Holy voice, sent with ethereal authority of power

While the cast out demons bow under His reigning hand, and

our tormentor, the devil, ever fears and cowers

"In earth as it is in heaven" is God's constant raining order and 

battle cry to His beloved, His Church, His own

As we pray with warring force through the second heaven, while

we gather the Harvest seeds we've sown

"Come hither" He whispers with longing beckoning love, to His

 surrendered, and loyal marching army

He gives commands and assignments, for His united Bride and 

Church, moving in cadence and harmony

The earth quivers and trembles with the impatient pawing, of the

 four horses of the Apocalypse, edgy to ride

It's an hourglass countdown to the final judgment, and a call to all,

in the battle, on the Lord Jesus' side 

 

The heavenly Gates are shining and polished, and the Golden

Streets glitter like sparkling glass in waiting

For the Bride of Christ to burst in from flight, and sit down to

the honeymoon Marriage supper so elating

But, it's a fact; the Church sets the wedding date, and the sands

of prophetic ticking time are quickly falling

While the honest-hearted one is unaware of his destiny, of holy

salvation, bought redemption and calling

 

We salute You, Lord Jesus, our God and King; and we hasten to

 always please You, our Lion and our Lamb

Our loyalty and consecration is steadfast for the lover of our

 souls, The Holy and The Great "I AM."

"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!"
