Come, Lord Jesus Come Heaven's Only Son From this moment My race, it has begun Only within You All love, peace, joy Emanates from
So lift me up May I never ever Become too worldly, Or too numb To Your beauty Please help me Transcend this earth, It's darkest scum
So take my meager crumbs And In your hands May I once more become Your treasure Your richest, ripest Of fruits, a plum And may I loudly proclaim Your truths, light In step with, in cadence with Living to the rhythm of The rest of, The best of All your Holy drums!!
I know that a lot of people do not like to hear about supernatural experiences, but they do exist. God can reveal Himself in any way He chooses. I have had a few experiences with such mostly in the form of a vision. They are always waking visions, and I do not know why He would give them to me as I am not a particularly important person down here. I was an orphan from birth so I was from the start one of the least of the least down here. I tell this only for the benefit of other people hoping it will help you somehow in your relationship with our Almighty Loving Creator Father.
Early one morning, I had just woken up, I was lying in bed looking out the window at the early morning sun and clouds in the sky. In my spirit I could start to see an angel standing on a platform of white clouds with steps leading up to it. I started to pay closer attention. The angel was muscular with tanned skin and shoulder length blondish hair. He was wearing only an almost knee length white, pleated skirt like cloth around his waist with golden sandals on. He held in his right hand a large, rounded spear taller than he was, maybe at least 7 feet tall. At first ,he was not looking at me then he slowly turned his head. He was frightening.
His eyes were a crystal clear blue, and the planes of his face were all moving with the colors of the rainbow constantly moving across his face but it was his expression that was so terrifying. He looked at me as if he could destroy me with less than one flick of one eyelash. His power seemed overwhelming. Then slowly, behind him a green mist started to form with an even stronger sense of power evolving behind him. It grew and grew until it was almost unbearable. I have never felt fear or terror like that in my life from the completely overwhelming sense of power in that greyish-green mist of clouds behind him. I feel like God was trying to give me a sense of His complete power over our earth and all of His universe. Again, it was totally terrifying. If He had not stopped the vision when He did, I’m not sure I could have enduring much longer.
Here on earth, especially in the USA, I feel we have lost a reverential fear of God. In our churches in America, it seems we have tried to turn God into a warm, fuzzy version of Santa Claus who will give us whatever we want whenever we want it. We have somehow lost respect for Him and just exactly how powerful He really is. We should never make God small, after all He holds the entire universe in His hands. We are so blessed He is as good and kind and loving and forgiving as He is. Praise You, Lord God, Praise You. I hope in telling this I can help you somehow in your faith walk and into a deeper relationship with our wonderful, gracious Creator, Lord, and Father!!
This, An unusual gate An unusual shape Formed Of two wooden beams Not entirely an Unbroken seam What's known as A Cross
On it people were hung By hands or wrists From its one horizontal rung Until No longer down here Did they exist
Left to die Against God's pale blue sky But For them it was not The end For them the journey Was it just about To begin
Their souls released To step through a gate Into eternal peace Or into a darker pain For them, Their existence would Never be the same
Christ took that dark Symbol of man's brutality And turned it into the new Reality Of God's goodness, Forgiveness Love Falling in heavenly showers Of Jesus Christ's blood
So won't you step through This heavenly gate Opened daily, Always freely to you But remember, Only by your own faith As your Creator's joy-filled Heart awaits Do its portals swing wide To reveal His Glorious Paradise inside!!
Are you really Willing to die? Let go of it all? For an illusion? Something I cannot See? Something I Cannot touch?
But you say it Is the truth This is indeed Most acute! Is this how Your mind You wish to soothe?
An unseen God A Holy Savior A spiritual level to life? To save us from what? I will admit There is much chaos Afoot Everywhere much cruelty Pain suffering To find all of that No one would really Be at all hard put!
Maybe you are right Perhaps I should be more Contrite Learn to let go So I too may know The Spirit's burning fire, Joy, the Privilege To pick up my cross And follow Him His paradise to win To lose myself And for the living Christ Become a martyr!!
Jesus’s powerful presence and love can fill your heart and spirit like nothing or anyone else can. Nothing else on our earth can satisfy your deep spiritual, emotional needs like He can, and He wants to do that eternally and forever. Praise God!
Warmth
Warmth fills the air Pure gold A white clad throng They part I stare
You come Walking through the middle No one makes a sound Toward me You extend a hand You smile
Your radiance, Dear Christ, Warms me To my bones And Within Your smile's Warmth Lies my forever home!
We are all immortal, living spirits. Created in the image of God, we will never cease to exist, and the good thing about life is that He gives you the freedom to choose where you will spend eternity!
Then My Soul
Then my soul Raised her hands Unbound by earth Unlocked from land
Blew out her wings Called by Your Spirit's Songs From heaven's hope They rise, they spring
And sailed away From off this Darkened ground Following Your Sweet Voice's sound To live forever within Christ’s Glory!!
