Fire

Father the fire of temptation comes when i am alone.

I seek Your secure hand

when the fire shakes my senses

and my flesh responds

when I refuse its desire

Your Hand reminds me i am secure

I seek Your sustaining word

when my world seems to whirl

and the past blurs before my eyes

I repeat the Word i have hid in my heart

Your promises remind me i am secure

I seek Your stabilizing voice

when old sins call me across the waves

and the shore of sand looks inviting

I concentrate on Your voice alone

Your breath alone reminds me i am secure

I seek Your steadying eyes

as i walk past every fleshly indulging sin

like restaurant it entices me to stop in

I keep my gaze fixed on Your eyes

Your eyes remind me i am loved and i am secure

Then when the fiery trial is done

and i rest at Your side

I shall stand in You alone

and count the growth in it

I shall consider the fire joy

and remember i am secure even through the fire

Early

Early will I seek You before any other I see. My face viewed by my Lord first. In the twilight before sunrise will I seek You.

Hide me in Your love as we talk. I have come for one reason to give myself to You and come to life in Your presences.

As a dove, in the secret place under the stairs in the garden You have made for the one You love. I am the one You love! Hold me close.

My heart would run and make merry, an unfaithful kind is she if not restrained and bound closely to Yours. Never trust me to my own devices God!

Early I seek You and give myself to You anew each morning. God You are my source and apart from You I am dead. But with You I am useful, victorious and undefeatable. Stay close all day, I need You.

God will up hold you.

‘Do not fear, for I am with you; do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’

Prayer
Thank you father for your assurance that you are with me at all times. I reject anxiety, I reject worry. I receive strength from the Most High. Thank you for the help

Morning Meeting

My soul crys for U oh God! Hurry! Come satisfy me with Ur presence! I am undone until I have sat at Ur feet. Until I have felt Ur touch and heard Ur voice.

Oh God I need U so I can enter my day. Decisions, delegations and desires await before me. Work, ministry and responsibility lay in wait. I start with U for with all my wisdom, knowledge and learning are nothing absent from U my God.

Come I am Ur dove in the cleft of the rock in the secret of the stairs. I slip away while it is still night to join U without interruption. My heart is for U, my eyes see U in everything and remind me of Ur great love and desire towards me. My soul is filled to the brim and overflows as I commune with U. Peace and confidence become strong with Ur voice in my ear.

It is Monday God and U have ordered the day into the week, I trust U to it and rest in the knowledge that I can rely on U. Humans will fail me, but I can count on Ur faithful provision, clear direction and loving correction. U are my God and I am Ur servant, yet U have called me friend. I seek no other.

-This week trust God with something u have held out on. Total surrender of it will surprise u as God eases the burden and smooths the "issues". BE ENCOURAGED! God is on the throne, He reigns.

the head and not the tail

Matthew 21:42
God i am glad to be rejected by this world for Your sake! To be the head and not the tail!

i have to ill hatred toward those who reject me, i pray they see Jesus in me and desire after Him!

The Light of Israel

And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day. Isaiah 10:17

Jesus was and is the "Light of Israel." He is also the "Light of life" and the "Light of men," a "Light to lighten the world." But the "Light of Israel" was "to burn and devour thorns and briers." Dear child of God, are you bringing the useless branches, the unpleasant, unlovely things of your life into the Light of His Presence that they may be consumed? Some day the shining of His Presence will destroy the very Advocate of evil. Shall we not submit our lives to that Wondrous Light and ask Him to consume all evil in us?

eager to praise

All of creation praises loud
as voices it carries to God
nothing held back
the beauty of self abandon

oh God help me be like that

The trees stretch upward
they wave in union with the wind
acknowledging the Creator
Praises rise Praises rise

God help me be like that

God reveal my intentions
reveal my inhibitions
reveal withheld parts of my heart
God reveal me so it can be burned

God make me like that

Burn me as the silver in a pot
removing all impurities
removing all shapes of "me"
as You make me reflect Jesus

Untill I am like all creation, praising my Creator

Fortress

The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. Psalm 18:2

"A mighty fortress is my God," and no evil may reach the soul that shelters there. There is no saint of God who may look back through all the troubled years of any earthly pilgrimage, and not say, if he shall truly speak, "I have been kept by the power of God." Every failure of our lives and each defeat has come when we have sought some earthly fortress rather than our Lord. I am hiding, Lord, in Thee. Amen.

Numbers 13:31-32

But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.
And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature.

Prayer

I reject every evil report no matter where it comes from in Jesus name.
I refuse to see anything negative in relation to the promises of God concerning me and all that concerns my household.
I will succeed in this new year. Amen.
