ISRAEL  OF  GOD

 

 

The center of the world

Land of all destiny

Focus of true purpose and lasting reality

Chosen from before creation

Home of spiritual revelation

Home of eternal Kingdom rest,

Throne of the Jewish King, Lord of Hosts

Place of eternal Covenant Peace.

One day the Lord will walk down the long hill,

Mount of Olives covered with his strides of Glory,

To cleanse the Temple and the Temple Mount,

Multitudes to line the path with purest worship

A celebration without end

In triumph of our God of Truth,

Majestic abundant fruit of our God of Love!

A thousand years of wonder soon upon this Earth, His Earth

As continual jubilation

In anticipation of the New Jerusalem,

The most beautiful Bride to descend from beyond the stars.

His chosen place of triumph from ancient days on

Good over evil

God’s Truth over Satan’s lies

Light over darkness

Human spirit rebirth over hopeless selfish slavery to sin,

Splendor and abundance over emptiness

Hope fulfilled over any hint of despair

Eternal Life over existential death and nothingness in torment!

I and my family will be there to bow before the Ancient of Days

Yes, along with many times many others

Prayerfully including you and yours!

 

*Have a blessed month of December 2017.

GATHERING STRENGTH #94

SUDDENLY

“In the twinkling of an eye”

Most precious “jeweled” Gift

Revelation comes within

To know You, Lord

To know You more and more,

Always more;

The majestic delight of angels

Caught up in purest reverence

In the power and unspeakable beauty of Your Holy Presence my God!

Spirit revelation comes upon a man

Spirit revelation comes upon a woman

And, “suddenly” an awakening by the hand of the Father

Circumstances unfold, people met

Inner hunger, inner thirst drawn out in humble honesty

Then, they prayerfully come to the Son in thanksgiving and worship;

In the amazing, miraculous rebirth of a human spirit,

Faith clothes the soul

And Kingdom reality surrounds with favor

And fills to overflowing with true life.

We all begin to grow

To mature as children of our Heavenly Father

To love our Father

To Love His Son

Messiah through whom all things were made

By the creative will of the Father

Shown brilliantly to us in Yeshua

As the “Word made flesh”;

In the humility of the Faithful One lived out before us

Peace beyond all human understanding flows out

Covers His flock of the  Church of Faith,

Even as war rages on around us

Satan the rebel, the destroyer

Soon to be swept into a darker prison

And then into the “Lake of Fire”

With all the faceless slaves who served him.

MARANA THA

MARANA THA

The heart yearns

The soul longs

For complete freedom and total divine fellowship,

Fulfillment of eternal destiny as a fire within

All purpose and meaning in life

Heavenly reasons for being alive

To ascend to the highest mountain of existence

Stars as countless snowflakes seen in intricate, unique beauty;

As godly humility bows on the Earth

Worship finally takes wing

Soars far above heaven and earth

Reaches beyond the stars of galaxies

To the home of angels of holiness

The place of Splendor and Majesty beyond human imagination

To the very Throne Room of Glory

Temple Presence of the King of all Jews,

Unapproachable Light of brilliance,

All are prone before the Seat of Mercy.

Now, as we bow on Earth in the Spirit

A hand of love reaches out

And gently touches us,

Encouragement streams forth

Perseverance and strength to be patient

Power in endurance to wait a little longer

Until salvation within finishes its intimate work,

Within you, within me

Within your family and friends

Within your neighbors

And, within some who hate and call themselves your “enemy”!

THE HIDDEN GLORY

THE  HIDDEN  GLORY

Eyes can now see

Ears can now hear

Hearts can know Him,

Even as we are known!

“Spirits sing

The greatness of the Lord

I sing

The greatness of the Lord

We all sing

The greatness of the Lord

We all shout

The greatness of our Lord!”

Angels in beauty encircle the Throne

In praise without number

The angels all bow down,

The redeemed of the Lord

Humans without number glow with the Light of Messiah

Men and women joyful as children of God

In overwhelming praise, all bow down,

Honored ones, gifted ones behold Heaven’s Glory

To worship the Father

To worship His Son

Thoughts and perceptions beyond earthly understanding

Or imaginations,

Only by the Spirit

Holy, Holy Spirit

Only by Yeshua’s Spirit

Only by the Spirit can we begin to see and hear

The things of highest Heaven

Higher than any or all

Above, as a mountain that towers above the Universe

Summit lost in thick clouds of Glory

The very things of our God

High above the created Earth.

Light from the Father

Light through the Son

Holy Spirit Light given

And we begin to see

We reach out to receive

We begin to truly understand

What “life” really is

Our eternal life, in worship and service

In continual honor and praise of our Holy God and King!

SONG 5/10 – GROWING UP

GROWING  UP

(*add your own melody…)

1.  He takes the Word

     Holds it tight

     Reads the Word

     Holds it tight

     Brings it near to the heart

     Draws it so very close.

Chorus:

   And a fragrance rises

   Aroma of God

   A fragrance rises

   Truth of our God

   A pure Spirit revealed

   Enters my heart, my soul.

2.  Words are read

     Stories known

     The Master’s Word

     A common book

     The Simple book flows forth

     Living Word deep within.

3.  Truth becomes warmth

     In a cold world

     Truth becomes strength

     In a weak place

     Truth becomes inner Light

     In a dark, barren land.

          “***And joy rises within

          Gladness pours into laughter

          What blessings truly are

          What happiness means

          Eyes begin to dance in brightness

          Faces carry a new glow

          A soothing wind blows on a very hot day

          Powerful words that calm

          As sea waves crash the shore,

          Holy winds from Heaven

          As Living Words are spoken

          And all the Earth bows down.”

   Gary Bertnick

THE SETTING SUN

THE  SETTING  SUN

With the setting sun goes a heavenly sign

The shadow hint of reality moves across the opposite wall

And few notice

Lost moments, lost chances are now gone,

Even a dim reflection of the eternal truth in warmth and light

Comes and goes in a human life, then fades away,

Spirit revelation from above, only a shooting star.

Clouds that water the earth

Intricate beauty of a single flower,

Countless other flowers off to the glowing horizon,

Wonderment of a child, eyes large and bright

Who discovers again and again,

Or a woman who finds love

And embraces with all of her being.

The natural heart has no ears

No eyes to see in the Spirit

Where grace and truth sit enthroned,

The mind in all its expansive power at best clouded,

Soul muddled in the daily dimensions of this life

Cares and anxieties, money and worries,

Self meaning and self-worth

Fulfillment always just out of reach,

Insatiable appetites search for more to satisfy.

Then, someone loved falls over dead

And the family stands numbed, shocked at the sudden change,

The cold finality of a body,

Nothing but weakness in the face of what can swallow each one whole;

Even then the heart and mind grope about

Arms flail at the wind, only tearful cries echo back

A mountain blocks out the sunlight

The moon and stars as well,

A hopeless dilemma rises above the distance that expands.

Who will cry out at last, and be heard

What clear voice will rise into the invisible Heaven above all consciousness

And truly be heard, and answered at last?

Only little children who can listen to the Father

Who can learn to believe, willing to receive Heaven’s indescribable gift,

Those who can approach the Throne as humble, open-hearted little ones

Those who gladly choose mercy and life

Bowed in humility, numbered and written in the Lamb’s Book of Life!

EYES FULL

confidence, halloween, Heaven, peace, satanic, Savior, stars, Yeshua

EYES FULL

Eyes full of Light
They watch in amazement
Marvel at what is unfolding
Plans made long ago
Written in ancient languages on ancient scrolls
Now read in a modern book,
Things as in the days of Noah and Lot
Things seen by Apostle John in visions, in pure revelation;
True wisdom sees into the hearts of nations
The swirling Halloween cauldron
Mystery Babylon in step with her destiny
Witchcraft and sorcery her passions,
The world held in a cup of perverse wine,
As every drop consumed, the drunk stagger along
Poised to fall into merciless flames.
Heaven’s truth is shown to the upright
Majesty shown to the noble chosen, those in humility,
They hold dearest divine trust
In spite of earthly storms and chaos
In the cruel face of evil, the satanic fraud,
Men and women given to darkness,
Temporary lusts and unclean passions.
Pure love covers the enlightened
Invincible peace protects their hidden treasure,
Riches stored securely within each soul,
Each spirit eternally alive by the very finger of God!
We watch as commanded
Our hearts’ greatest desire,
We stand ready always as told
Confidence soars beyond the mere trillions of stars,
Eternal Light bright within
The very Light of Heaven
From the glory eyes of our Savior, Yeshua our Lord.

STEADY STREAM

STEADY  STREAM

 

Peace flows in a steady stream

Always deep enough

Always wide enough

Cool and sweet, pure and clean

Holy waters that flow from Heaven

From the very heart of God;

Beyond human understanding

A gift for every humble believing child,

For all who receive Him.

The world destroys what love builds up

Restless, foaming ocean tides,

So many struggle, surge back and forth

As a wild flood breaks out of river banks

Surges across the land

Drowns all in its way;

The world and those who belong to it, cruelly wash over humanity

Drown the life and good purposes

Flood indiscriminately,

All and everything in its path

Washed away, swept away,

Sodden, drowned, always another left all alone, cut off.

A man and a women lie in bed together

Dreams comfort in rest

Body warmth nurtures and soothes common encouragement,

Most natural, most healthy affection

The deepest covenant intimacy,

Passionate hearts that long for one another,

Desire for closeness celebrates in trust

Secure in the trust of such love.

There is a river that runs true

River of life, of love and peace

Shalom that flows in and about,

Israel’s Messiah’s peace, the very presence of our God

Flows down to us from the Throne seated so high above,

Majesty beyond our heaven and earth.

CONFIDENCE

CONFIDENCE

 

Confidence rests in stillness

A quiet calm that knows no boundaries

Stillness in the body

Stillness in the soul, the mind

Stillness in the spirit, always before the Throne,

On earth, in the world.

Stillness that sees the Lord

A Shepherd who loves

Close by our sides

Who holds our hand,

A most practical, most simple reality,

In child-like innocent zeal

The beauty of our Lord before our eyes

His presence, His touch

His strong arm about the shoulders.

He who fills the Universe holds a small child’s hand

All youthful zeal and stumbling

Innocent steps of exuberance

Love of life blazing in the eyes of such a little one

In the eyes of a reborn child of Heaven

In the fire eyes of the Sovereign One

Who watches in finest details each step

Each thought, each act,

His blessing upon those who choose Him,

Darkness upon the others who reject His love.

The goodness of eternal knowledge

Or the blindness of an earthbound self

Delight in what is right

Or pleasure in a world grown cold,

Cold, dead forehead

Or warm tears of eternal hope.

My heart has embraced the Spirit of Truth

Heavenly peace now confirms each step

In the face of madness, a calm reply

In the face of anger, gentle, soothing words

At a time of chaos

Wisdom of a holy sword

Sharp to cut through the foolishness

To take hold of Heaven’s manna

A living faith of greater treasure than gold and silver,

My new life in His image

As a daily prize held tightly

Miraculously bound within a confident human heart and life.

 

 

KING FOREVER

KING  FOREVER

 

King forever

Throne upon the highest Holy Hill

Jerusalem, Zion of God

King of Creation within human hearts;

A needed touch of compassion

A touch of kindness and tender care,

He has established forever

The kingdom of peace and love in another one.

Knowledge of the Holy One too great, too wonderful

More than human thoughts can ever imagine,

The Anointed One grasps the right hand

Brings safety beneath the wings

Yes, too wonderful, too great for words

Except continuous praise and thanksgiving!

Worship in the Spirit of the Kingdom,

Worship in the Spirit of the King

Alone approaches the throne of all goodness;

Life given when death enshrouded, seemed to suffocate,

True peace given in a world of chaos

Where humans seek to devour one another

Rampant cruelty as the pleasures of the day.

Yet, in one soul after another

The destructive generational cycle is broken,

From the ancient ones such as Job

The faithful ones as Abraham

Jacob and the tribes of his descendants,

The unbroken line of remnant disciples of the Living God

Followers who only sought life and truth in goodness,

Seekers today who yearn for true spiritual bread

Who hunger for food from Heaven that doesn’t spoil or fade,

And the Royal Heavenly Seal.

We stand now firm in the Light that radiates Heaven’s power

Light of life from our King Yeshua

Now and forever Messiah on His Throne,

In glory on His Throne.
