Life ~ Beauty ~ Fading ~ Revealing

Life ~ Beauty ~ Fading ~ Revealing I was as a flower Found in the grass of the meadow Springing up for all to see The beauty of my colorful petals Caught the eyes of all passing by But Just as the flower fades and the petals fall Am I My petals fade and fall to the ground The stamen is revealed Covered in the pollen of my life Waiting for the Spirits breeze To catch it in the air Blowing and dusting all the precious souls Drawn to my meadow It's your Spirit  That births in us the very character of God Please God Let it fall on those around me  Nothing of myself Just the dusting of your Spirit Amen His Blessings, Terry Dedicated to Pastor Farris Whitehead 03-09-1949 To 09-01-2013 Your pollen fell on many Thank you for loving me so unconditionally

Do Not Look Back

Do Not Look Back When God moves do I move with Him Forward into greatness is where He'll take me if I'll just follow What has He told you beloved Has He called out to you in the night hours "Arise" "Sit with me" "Let me tell you what I have planned" "I have something to say to you" Has He moved you from a dry and dreary land  to a place called glory When God moves us to an unknown place  He will send help He knows it's a land you've not visited  Take the hand of  provision Take your family too And linger not God is moving us to safety Away from destruction As in the days of Lot He sent angels in the form of men They took Lot His wife  And his two daughters They took them by the hand  Out of the city  before it was destroyed "Escape for your life" "Do not look behind you" "Nor stay anywhere in the plain"...

Untangled Lines Catch Fish

Untangled lines Catch Fish Read John 15:1-14 Sometimes the cares of this life get me tangled into a knotted up ball.  As the day gets going, I sometimes find myself unable to reach the plan set before me. And I hear "Take Heart - There is hope" We took our very young grand sons fishing And they were so excited... It didn't take but a few minutes before their fishing lines got so tangled that papa had to cut them off and start over. In John Chapter 15  Jesus is saying that He is the true vine and that His Father is the vine dresser. Immediately upon reading this I realize God, my Father, wants to prune every branch in my life that is tangled up and choking out the productive branches. Because they are keeping me from being connected to the vine, which is Jesus. I think it is interesting that this scripture refers to us as branches and Jesus as the vine. It is habit for vines to grow and twine themselves around somethi...

God Is Love If God is love Then the only way I can love is to let God in Let Him totally consume me  To the point of surrendering all Surrender sin unforgivingness temptations weaknesses Cry Out Cry out like never before I want you God I want more of you Cry out until  I become full of Him Your kingdom come  Your will be done The unforgivingness I hold against myself Will keep me locked up Locked in chains and fetters I will not be able to move and flow in His Spirit If God is love  Than the only way I can love is to let God in And When I do Nothing else will be able to co-exist in His all consuming presence Blessings, Terry un for giv ing  | ˌənfərˈgiviNG | adjective not   willing   to   forgive   or   excuse   people ' s   faults  or wrongdoings :  he was always a proud  and   unforgiving   man . •  ( of ...

Peace Strength and Power

Peace Strength and Power There is a mighty warrior in all of us Waiting to be dressed and suited up for battle The weapons of our warfare are mighty through God To the pulling down of strongholds  So why am I fighting the same enemy  On the same soil time after time Heaviness decends upon me It is familiar It is connected to my past My childhood It is fear It is worthlessness They are spirits from the dark side Enemy forces They are in my camp Right at the door of my tent Prowling around  Waiting for just the right moment of weakness  THEN POW!!! How do I protect and defend what is mine God tells me  PEACE STRENGTH POWER All belong to me It is my choice Do I believe what He says ~ Do I want to be delivered Do I want to be set free And after being set free do I want to remain free Before David picked up his bow of bronze  He secured himself in the Lord Go...

Round and Round That Mountain No More

Round and Round that Mountain No More How does faith develop in our Spririt For the Israelites  They had to fail miserably time after time And watch how their God  Displayed  His power  Each and every time  Even when t hey acted unfaithfully  At some point I believe we all come to a crossroads Where we've seen the hand of God  Stretched out over our lives  And now He requires us to choose Choose to live the same or Choose to  Walk out of this land and Into the promises of our calling To serve God takes  Turning   Stepping over Deciding to obey every word He speaks   After the Israelites crossed over the river Putting Egypt on the other side  It was obvious God had given them a  land for which they did not labor And Cities which they did not build They ate of the vineyards and olive trees  They did not plant I beli...
