MORE  WAITING

 

 

Countless others with expectations

As the trillions of stars beyond eye sight

Many so restless

In nations filled, struggling, tired and bored

Blown about by dry desert winds as sand,

They often stand alone in frustration

Stare at the setting sun

And wonder if it mirrors their own personal life;

Oh, the common human dilemma-

“Without God and without hope”

In this world of “Self” and fear and lust, pride and greed and confusion!

Yet, the fire of Israel’s Messiah, His Holy Spirit zeal burns powerfully

A holy fire of Love

Peacefully tempered, displayed with greatest Wisdom from Heaven;

All footsteps divinely ordered

Even those many knowingly established by their Lord of Truth.

Today a shout from Heaven shakes the Earth

And all that are on it-

Nothing by chance, luck a foolish notion;

There are no random circumstances!

Blazing eyes gaze within a Royal Robe of Compassion

Each soul seen as precious

Every human life of great value

“More than many sparrows”,

The death of the wicked not a delight of the Lord

But met with sadness at the eternal loss;

Male and female, young and old

Rich and poor, near and far away

All longed for, yearned to draw closer to Kingdom reality.

Their cost greater than all gold

Their price more than all silver

Highly valued gems and diamond stones as gravel compared to what God has “spent”!

The God of Love moves always among us,

Angels of power as well

Disciples of the Master walk in faithfulness

Selfless men and women discerned as true

Who know the price of salvation

Who carry their cross daily;

The weight of eternity for mankind upon our Savior’s shoulders

Carried daily for us all,

The billions seen or unseen far beyond digital screens

Each one with a flame of foreknowledge hanging over their heads;

We bow in prayerful honor,

Seek only good, pray only for peace

Then pick up our Sword of Truth

With Holy Spirit power of Living Words

And wage a Holy War for this our lost generation!

HIS GREATNESS

Tags

Israel's King, King of all Jews, Messiah Yeshua, Messianic Kingdom

HIS GREATNESS

To begin to look upon His Greatness

While the Kingdom of Light waits patiently,

The “Messianic Kingdom Prayer”- pure desire and holy longing,

Our Rock of all confidence

Majestic Light of Glory

Revelation of abundant Life in Him alone;

Oh, to look upon His Greatness in humility,

One creature before his Creator

An object of mercy before the King.

Another “woman at the well” given the Spirit of Grace

Just as Adam and Eve saved from the very beginning

Pulled from the fires of justice

Rescued, lifted high above common human frailty

Carried gently in the Spirit winds of love

Brought before the Throne of grace and mercy.

Fallen men and fallen women

Saved from inherited weaknesses,

Empowered, saved from all lies and deception, from self and Lucifer

Kept by God for Himself;

The impossible made possible

For all generations that follow

Miracle authority of redemption foreknown

Then lived out on earth

As angels bowed in sorrow,

Knelt in anguish before the Father’s Throne.

Their Lord in human form,

The eternal sacrifice of love

As a baby, as a child, a youth who grew in favor

A man in practical work, as a carpenter, eldest brother

A man who stood tall in complete faithfulness and responsibility.

Though once lifted on a Roman Cross,

Carried high above by His Holy Spirit’s Words of His Father!

Approachable greatness revealed

In Truth of humility and obedience,

The same for all

So that we too can look upon our Messiah’s Majestic Greatness.

WALL OF FIRE

WALL  OF  FIRE

The Shepherd’s power woven within authority

In the pure flame of Divine zeal

Holy fire of the God of Love;

Nothing is hidden from the sight of the Lord

Every thought, every action

All details of infinity seen and remembered,

Then, in foreknowledge, Justice stands to consume

Thunderous winds roar about the Throne

As coals of fire are flung by angels to the Earth,

Mountains melt

The entire Earth shakes

Every creature trembles!

God stands in judgment

The King who came once in the humility of peace

Carries a sharp sword now as Judge.

Most powerful Words spoken

Echo forever throughout the Universe

They enclose His sheep

Protect His own with arms outstretched

These ones now rest in eternity beyond any threat

Even in our bodies enclosed behind

And in front

Hand of the Lord gently upon our spirits.

The enemy often comes near to us

But only sees “the lake of fire” that waits for him

And for all his many slaves like-minded!

More than a wall of fire,

The fire in Messiah’s eyes

The fire in Yeshua’s Words

The fire in zeal for His own who He loves;

The fire in His gaze devours His enemies

Then settles calmly upon His Kingdom children,

Eyes of blazing fire.

TO  BLESS,  NOT  CURSE

To bless, not curse

As we stand in the Light of Messiah’s greatness,

We are strong in the beginning

Strong in the end

Strong throughout our journey in this fragile body;

From the first glimmers of His sunrise

Come revelations of Power and Beauty and Majesty,

Pure streaks of brilliantly colored Truth reach across the horizons

Of the experience of our beings,

Life risen from spiritual death is ours

Surrounded, enclosed in the very essence of our human existence

Now richly clothed with eternal purpose

The salve of Heavenly meaning as an anointing

Upon the eyes of our soul,

A Holy Spirit anointing forever upon the body, soul and spirit.

From such an unimaginable place of power and authority

Divine wisdom and strength rest in peace,

Humility bows in love before the Holy Throne of our King

Obedience to the greatest command given in honor,

To love first

To be patient with those weaker in faith

To forgive and forget

And even to love those who hate us;

To see through and beyond all the enemies

To let mercy and Godly compassion rule “above all things”,

Sovereign Justice as supreme,

And to simple live a life of love

As our Teacher lived out in His “Body of Redemption”;

Yes, as our Lord and Shepherd lived

As our Messiah always lives today;

Oh, to walk with our Lord Yeshua

And to become more like Him!

GOD’S  WAY

A walk along the beautiful California coastline

In search of the “Lost Coast”, an undeveloped stretch,

Much like a surfer who makes a weak effort

To catch a strong wave;

Human effort alone so feeble.

In Truth, in Divine Reality

No other way exists

Nothing else can work

Isolated human effort always miserably falls short;

But sadly few will ever understand

And acknowledge our most intimate personal need to believe

To know the God of Creation,

Yet, so easily satisfied with foolish stubbornness in what can be said or done.

Many plants in the high desert

Most full of thorns and thistles

Even grass with “sand burrs”, and then “goat heads”,

Our hands reach out boldly

But confidence returns often with only thistles and cactus thorns.

In humility, divinely ordered and enabled,

Spiritually moved, and sovereignly established

In “The Way” revealed from above

A path to enlightenment covered with delightful mystery

Waits to become known,

Priceless hidden treasure to be found

Most exquisite pearl to be discovered!

To seek, to ask, to knock

To believe in Yeshua

To desire to know Messiah,

To long with deepest longing

To want to seek to believe in Him above all else,

Then, to be able to will to really believe

To reach out from your heart

And suddenly to be anointed with the gift of faith in Messiah Yeshua;

A new man and a new woman follow God’s Way

And take their first steps in lasting confidence

Along the maturing Narrow Way

As eternal children of God our Father

And Yeshua our Kingdom Lord.

SCALES  IN  BALANCE

Wings of justice

Soar high above the nations,

Countries as dust upon the pure golden scales;

Faith is tested

In critical balance before the Holy Throne,

The human heart knows

The human spirit senses

Yet, the soul and body pull away in internal conflict.

On the golden balance of Spirit Truth

A conscience as pure silver, is daily refined in God’s fire,

The perfect balance of holiness at work

The scales of absolute purity seen in Yeshua,

Our obedience to the spoken Words of the Shepherd

Holy Spirit truth that now dwells as life within us.

How do we know

How do we rest in assurance

In complete confidence on Earth

In our body of flesh and blood

Even as the harsh winds blow

And the intense sun scorches the skin

Clouds burst with flooding waters

And heavy rain falls upon the head,

It runs down the face

Drenches the clothing as we stand firm

Arms reaching towards Heaven in hope;

We know it by our Messiah’s Spirit

Even He who intimately indwells the hearts of His children,

His predestined, chosen ones in new birth

Who know His Father,

Who worship the Father

As the “woman at the well” did,

In Spirit and in Truth!

King of the Jews, Messiah Yeshua

LIKE  HIM

He became like us

So that we could become like Him,

Messiah from Heaven

Holiness of the Father purely shown

That we might see the Father in Him

As His love is poured out

In this world, through us

Just like Him;

We walk in faith

Holy Spirit within

In the boundless love of the Father,

Each step of elegant peace

Words of Truth a living stream from our mouths

Meant to be anointed the same,

His fearless love that compels us

Compassion continually flows out

Gifts of His Spirit most radiant

Held out with a human touch,

Nothing to hold back

Everything to freely give;

To walk humbly, simple and pure

Always being obedient to His Spirit Voice

Holy Words written deep within

As we live for His Father

To bear much fruit to honor Him

Constant prayers offered to our Father and our High Priest

Heaven’s work our only true food and drink;

We walk just like He did in this world

Often alone, but never alone

As an outsider, not belonging to this world;

Zeal for HIs house

Israel, all true Jews,

Hope burns brightly

The Sword of Truth flashes

As His blazing eyes follow us

Each step of our way, His Way.

GREATER  SONGS

Our songs in continual celebration

Songs in eternal worship,

Joy gathers about the Holy Throne

Life that is True Life

Bursts from the countless ones joined together

As One in the Holy Spirit of Messiah.

How great the triumph

How forever wondrous the victory

Redemption and our refuge paid at the greatest cost

And now seen, an unimagined harvest of human souls and spirits

The ripened fields of the nations,

All resounds in awe throughout the created Universe

As the most bountiful harvest reaped!

Moments without any measure

A chorus is echoed-“Do not fear,

I am near!”- flies forth on angel wings

In musical wonders trumpeted

All the mysteries of the Majestic Gospel

Poured out before all mankind

All lands and all languages rise up in perpetual gladness

In such amazement at being fully alive

And in greatest awe of being before their Lord Yeshua,

Eyes that can see, ears that can hear

The jubilation of melodies in constant music of Temple singing

With new instruments in newest artistry

New voices with many new songs added

While the limitless eternity expands;

Even as New Jerusalem descends in royal splendor

With thunders of glorious praise

A crown of glory for the new heaven promised

And the new Kingdom Earth revealed,

Majestic in unspeakable beauty.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

**We are born “twice” to worship God in eternity!

 

A  BABY  BORN

A Heavenly Seed planted in love

True Gift from above

Divine forgiveness wrapped in an earthly bundle;

Who can buy a soul

Who can touch a heart

Who can grasp the humility of Messiah’s soul lived out

Even the revelation of the greatest mystery,

Always unknown to Earth bound mankind, rooted in its dirt

Undesired truth, without even natural hunger or thirst for divine reality,

For simple understanding of being alive

Of existence and meaning, purpose of will

And the greatest knowledge through the Cross-

Dying to live in human spirit rebirth!

Israel’s Messiah Yeshua and His Cross the only bridge to Heaven

A miraculous journey across the impossible divide, the eternal abyss!

Just another cross among others set on a common hill near Jeusalem,

Arrogant Old Roman brutality on proud display

Yet, the royal secret is shown openly

Given to all near and far away, in both time and place,

Resounds as trumpets blasting

Powerful echoes across the heavens.

But, then, only a few could really see

Fewer could begin to honestly hear;

In the Gift of spiritual rebirth

All are openly called

A clear trumpet sounds in their life circumstances

A new, most beautiful song begins to move within

A Presence, Mysterious Peace becomes a mystery no more

To the man chosen to eat the Bread of Heaven

To the woman chosen to drink the New Wine of eternal life.

          Merry  Christmas to you!
