We were restless
Until we found our rest in thee
We were anxious
Until we glimpsed eternity

Just one drop of blood from our Saviour’s vein
Destroys all sin and breaks its deadly spell
And just one single tear from a repentant eye
Shall douse the raging fires of Satan’s hell

Kneel before the cross and gaze upon the Son
And lift your head and humble hands up high
For it was up on Calvary’s hill that victory was won
So therefore hell and death must pass me by

See the chains of hell, broken now by Christ
Hear the choirs of heavenly angels sing
The grave has been defeated and lost its victory
And all of death has lost its deadly sting

Now He sits upon a horse, Faithful and True
His justice and His mercy never ends
He sets the captives free, for He died for you and me
And freedom is the message He now sends

There is a reason that the path is narrow and few there are that find it. It is a difficult, often lonely path the saint finds himself on. There is pain and death as one picks up his cross daily. It is not a virtue to take up your cross daily, its a brutal death. We are called to follow our Lord Jesus to Calvary and beyond.

Let us keep it in the front of our minds that the time is short and the Lord is coming soon. It is a very difficult thing to keep a sense of urgency, our senses often want to take the path of least resistance and are easily dulled. It typically takes some kind of natural disaster, tragedy or act of war to jolt us back to the reality of the fragility of life and the impending coming of the Lord. Saints, let us press in and stay the course. Let our reality be the Spiritual reality that surrounds us. There is a war and its ongoing. The enemy is never at rest, in fact, as his time runs out, he is more frantic.

Hi Saints,

I am going to be attending a series of meetings at a dear brothers church in Barnsdall Oklahoma from the 13-19th. We will be seeking the Lord’s presence at these meetings. If you are anywhere near these meetings, please come and join us. The church is called Cornerstone Community Church. There is a hungry remnant out there, please come and join us if you are hungering and thirsting after the Lord, perhaps the Lord will bless us with His presence, we have expectations that the Spirit of the Lord in all His majesty and glory will come down upon His people. You can find the details here .. http://barnsdallcornerstone.com/

When we think of the presence of God, do we not think of that wonder that fills our being, that makes our heart glow within us? The presence that takes us up, that bends us low, that makes us weep, that makes us rejoice. That presence in which we can barely lift our heads because the glory of His majesty has supernatural weight that prostrates all living things. That presence where we can hear angels sing ” Glory unto God in the highest.” Yes brothers and sisters, all that and more. We desire this, we have our being in this. Yet, there is also a presence that fills the temple with a cloud to where the priests could not even stand because of the glory. Could not stand because of the Glory. Could not stand because the ark had found it place in the temple.  When the presence of God enters the temple, Solomon, filled with that very presence, the Spirit of God, cries out ” Lord God of Israel, there is no God like thee in heaven above or on the earth beneath , who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants , that walk before thee with all their heart.”

He further cries out ” Behold, the heavens and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee.” This is the presence that opens up the sea, that stops the roaring Jordan, that causes the walls of Jericho to fall. This presence causes the mountains to skip and the earth to shake. O mighty sea, what ails you that you fled? And you O Jordan, why were you driven back? O proud mountains and mighty sea and you o earth upon which we stand, you trembled in the presence of your Maker. O mighty mountains, when the presence of God rends the very heavens, you will flow down in His presence. And you o nations, when the fire of His wrath burns so that the waters boil, you will tremble in the presence of Glory. When He comes, the presence of the Lord is personal and beautiful and it stills the stormy seas. Yet, it is also terrible and awe-full, magnificent and terrifying. Who is like unto thee? For all the heavens that exist cannot contain you Father, you hold it in the palm of your hand.

(inspired by a comment posted that made me think of personal and the corporate presence of God)

What will increase the chances that when faced with a trial, a fork in the road, that we will choose the path of faith and victory over the road of fear and defeat?

1Jn 5:20  And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

Joh 17:3  And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

Whatever fills the heart floods the mouth. Listen and hear what a man talks about. The man that genuinly knows Jesus will almost always be talking about Him. Religious men talk about issues, and typically issues that divide, and they do that because they are speaking about what they know.

If they knew Jesus, their hearts would be filled with Him and their mouths would be flooded by words that talk of their grand passion. You will know a man by His works for sure, but you will also know a man by HIs words. Someone who is obsessed with sports only ever talks about sports. Another man may be obsessed by politics and that is what he continually speaks about. He can only really relate to others of like passion. The religious man will speak about issues, and will only be able to relate to others who are like-minded. They will congratualte each other and commend each other. Yet the man who ” knows ,” Jesus will talk about that knowing and want others to know Him too. Beware of the man who is identified by issues, look for the man who is identified by Jesus.

Eternal life is knowing Jesus. Better to know Jesus than to know about Him. Better, when we speak, to speak of what we know rather than to speak on issues that we know about. And this is life in Christ, knowing Him, all life flows from that. Those who know Jesus and speak of whom they know,speak life. Those who know about Jesus, speak of issues that do not flow from the heart but from that which can be seen, the outer issues, that bring condemnation. Both seem virtuous, one is life, the other is sensual wisdom, meaning wisdom that does not come from God.

Luk 6:45

  A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.

Then I began to hear the words “In the fullness of time” over and over. I again began to think of my nation and the man I had seen in the bed. I thought of the grief and the pain that I had felt over the state of my homeland. It was so godless and materialistic and I wondered when God would move in power to save, heal, deliver and transform. I wanted to see a true and deep transformation from the foundations up. I asked the Lord “How will this ever happen?” The task seemed so vast and the church was so weak, ill equipped and poorly organised. To me it seemed somewhat self-indulgent also. Then I became aware that there would be a movement of the Holy Spirit in this land and it would happen in the fullness of time.

This is part three of a series of visions that my cousin had. We see below that the country of Great Britain is portrayed vividly as a dying man in his vision. I would extend that to the Western world. God is speaking to His servants all over the world in these days, and His message is the same. I pray that there will be ears to hear and eyes to see what the Spirit is telling and showing the remnant people……………………………

Suddenly the nation seemed barren and devoid of God without this Ark. It was all meaningless and I could feel it. I could feel the bareness in the spirit realm. It was like life was seeping out of its spirit. Then I knew that the city and the nation was a living force and its life was dying and this was ultimately connected to turning away from Christ. The peoples were making wrong choices and forces were at work at higher levels to kill the spiritual life. I began to see swirling dark gusts of wind in the air around the street.

Have you ever walked through fields of fire, have you ever felt that your walk through this life is like walking on coals of fire? Do you ever stretch out your hands towards heaven and just long to be away? Does the sin and the pain of the world, perhaps your world, just seem to sweep in like the tide and cover everything?

In the depths of darkness is the greatest opportunities to grow close to the Lord. Let me illustrate it this way. What is a drop of water to someone who is just living their lives? What is a drop of water to someone who is at deaths door in the desert, same drop of water? Its treasure to one and not the other Read the rest of this entry »

The human spirit is a remarkable thing, It is so resilient. Some men and woman have suffered incredibly and somehow they survived, yet at what cost? Whether one lives or dies there is an end to the human spirit. Look on every street corner of ghettos, look into the eyes of a drug addict, an alcoholic. If you have eyes that can see, you can see that the human spirit has an end, it simply lays down and it dies. Read the rest of this entry »

Hi brothers and sisters, my dearest friend and brother will be leading revival services in a small town called Ingram in Wisconsin. His name is Pastor Brian Long and I have some of his videos on this site. I am very particular what I put on this site, I want to be a ” rich,’ place to visit, so you can tell how much I love this brother. If you are anywhere near Ingram Wisconsin 2-6th of November, I urge you to go along and take someone with you. God uses this brother.

This is one of the scariest poems I  ever published. It is so personal, it, like most poems, is a piece of who I am. I wrote it shortly after coming to Jesus. Before coming to the Lord i had never written a thing, let alone a poem. This poem descibes my journey through life , from a violent upbringing by a alcoholic father, to wandering in the desolation of drugs and alcohol for years, to finaly being rescued from the bottom of the bottomless pit. I met Jesus 21 years ago and I still remember the day and the hour. If one were serving a life sentence in solitary confinement, and suddenly they were released, they would remember that day forever!
