A GREATER HEIGHT

 

 

To desire love, and to be loved;

From the depths of our being

Our very existence cries out

The need to walk in God’s Love

And to live out His Love in our natural bodies

On His Earth, in His World,

The New Kingdom that rises up

Even as the Lord of His Kingdom Resurrected

To lead and guide us all along the Path,

The Way of Holiness and Purity!

Human marriage, a path of faithfulness

A never ending commitment to healing righteousness

The Divine pleasure given of two who become one

The bodies of a man and a woman joined to refresh and renew Covenant love

All in a taste of what was made, what was meant to be,

Passion of innocence in caresses,

Rich kisses of love’s blessings to each one

As a foretaste of Oneness to be revealed from Heaven’s goodness,

To honor God sexually with our hearts and bodies in marriage oneness

Bearing fruit with one another, even new children;

As faithfulness to our Creator

Just as early Adam and Eve in naked honesty

Transparent confidence fully shown and seen,

More than a clean and clear lake of dreams to be fulfilled

But a “crystal river of Spirit Life” carries through the moments to new heights

Into Kingdom Eternity, hand in hand as two look as one to their Shepherd Lord!

 

 

“Flee sexual immorality.”- Paul

COVENANT  FULLNESS

 

 

New Covenant fullness in Christ

Marriage of body, soul and spirit

Joined in rich blessings from above

Lived out daily in and through each of us

True believers foreknown, predestined and called by the Father

In oneness with His Son,

The pure crystal river of gifts from Heaven

Peace the world cannot give

A Love absent from most people,

Only made known by our Lord

Through His Love with generosity for many others,

And our compassion that freely flows out

From the Body of Messiah, the Church

Alive in our Shepherd’s abundance

Prayerfully revealed as we walk the Narrow Kingdom Road

The disciplined path set out for us this day

The Way of our heavenly destiny,

Triumph through the Cross

Victory in our faithfulness

Now wide awake, alert and watchful

Ready for our New Day!

BY  FAITH

 

 

Who truly lives

Stands strong and confident

While compassion and peace rule the heart and soul?

The mysteries of life are hidden deeply within what cannot be seen,

Words are spoken that the natural ear cannot hear;

The human spirit withers,

Walks a barren desert alone, overwhelmed with thirst

The sun beats down

And the evening chill grips without mercy.

Then the Hand of Grace in Mercy reaches down

Lifts the man or woman in need

And reveals waters that revive

Truth that covers with cleanest warmth

Bread that is more than food

Life that rises above the common earth,

Soars with angels among the stars

Walks in humility the roads that lead to streets,

Streets that lead to homes and places of simple dwelling

Where human needs are gathered

Often in desperation, often in poverty of despair

“Without hope and God in this world”.

He stands as a new vessel in strength and walks by faith

A heart freely poured out

Offered with no cost to anyone, everyone met

Prayers of love pour forth, spoken and unspoken

Compelled by Heaven’s Holy Spirit Love

Forever steadfast along the only Way of Truth,

His Shepherd’s most narrow road for Life

Walked so long ago

Footprints of footsteps always fresh to follow;

Like many others he walks by faith

Gift to believe by the Savior given

Supernatural strength to move forward along the Kingdom path.

Humble prayers offered for many are heard

Those who will someday, somehow embrace good change,

Enlightened, plucked from the fire, saved from the “second death”;

These too will fall to their knees in repentance and in worship

After sudden waves of revelation from God

Just like Paul, Thomas, Peter and many others of their day,

Emerald rainbows will encircle them like James and John

And even remnant modern Israel!

Eyes formed by their Maker will see with full enlightenment

Ears made by their Creator will hear with clear understanding

And new Light will glow from within their being as well;

They too will live and walk by faith in Messiah Yeshua

Standing strong till the end.

FINAL SCALE

FINAL  SCALE

 

 

Hearts weighed in the most precise balance,

Another one steps on the scales

A pound comes and a pound goes

Kilograms just as the years slip by,

Ah, health and self-control

Self-control and health!

Each life is truly weighed in the balance

One breath, one heartbeat, one thought and one act at a time

Always before the Lord of Creation

Spirit and soul, known from the beginning

Body care as well

As complete justice flows in fire from beneath the Throne

Quality always comes before quantity

Like the new scent of a candle

And the brightness of its flame,

But who receives its light;

The beauty of a flower in amazed wonder

Its aroma on the wind in simple delight

Yet what becomes a fruit,

What will hang heavy on the branches?

We will all stand before the Judge

And the Eyes that penetrate our entire existence

In the quality of our faithfulness

Weighed on His scales of Truth and Justice,

The degree of Holy Spirit obedience in human sensitivity

Held firmly in His hand, tender and kind

The measure of lasting good fruit produced

In a human being destined to know eternal greatness

To show forth Messiah’s greatness to others

Magnified in the display of love given on the Cross,

Freely held out, freely received

The Way of Truth in Life seen crystal clear

As it flows beneath the Holy Throne  of New Jerusalem.

Living Words spoken long ago so pure and simple

The Gospel alive each moment of every day

Made known to every man and woman

Those chosen to share, to give as they received

With kind and gentle touches of care

A Shepherd’s heart of compassion shines brightly

Reflected from within EACH ON

Just as our God radiant,

Faith in action, Holy Spirit empowered

One prayerful step after another

Holy Spirit led.

 

FAITHFUL ISAIAH

FAITHFUL  ISAIAH

Walking in faithfulness

Like the Master

Guided from above

Spirit led,

In the circumstances of life

Overflowing with Divine purpose

“Meaning” that anchors each day

Carries often with angelic wings and swords drawn

Soars through the common earthly ways

Even through daily difficulties

Conflicts and challenges,

Tensions and stresses all too common to this place

And to all people.

When you hold the Savior’s hand

You walk with His Peace indwelling

A stream of pure living waters flows

A greater knowledge wells up

It enlarges the heart

Enlarges your footsteps of our faith

The Heavenly Gift in powerful actions

Yes, even prayer as the most “practical work”

Ready on tiptoes

Fingertips move mountains

Shake the valleys

Straighten the crooked things

Smooth the rough roads,

All that Prophet Isaiah did and wrote

Lived out in his amazing life

With a “glory cloud” all about,

A servant of servants

Chapter 53 written on his own heart,

On display for all souls then and now

His obedient prophecy for all times,

Even our own, today!
