A Day in Nicaragua

Beautiful morning as the sun glided into the vast blue ocean we call the sky.
The radical light bounced off the water blue, a horse galloping by
Another day of going, being, and becoming whom God directed me to be.
Doing, spreading the Word in great deed
Uncertainty of the day ahead - becoming dead
To the world itself. Waking up Alive
The sun, my skin, it may fry

For through our days suffering and trials and persecution
Knowing we are forever justified through our confession
Our willingness leads to obedience
Obedience leads to God faithfulness

“Get on the bus,” shouts Mary, “GET ON THE BUS!”
Throughout these days here in Nicaragua I learned to trust

Build relationships within the student ministry
Our tendency to be passionate rose, as we the oaks grew into great big firm righteous trees
My relationship grew strong with my husband, Jesus Christ
Never knowing that the Holy Spirit through me will lead someone to Christ more than thrice

Seeing their faces day after day
And I knowingly wanted to save them all from eternity of dismay

Eternity never meant to me, so precious
Until that little girl’s sweet face thought that candy was SO delicious
Seeing their beautiful brown eyes smile back at you
And the girls get together so can take a picture for the time of two
But little did they know that I recorded
Their glorious innocent smiles that will be documented
for me to look back on of my wonderful journey

that Christ put me on, oh He is worthy

During the fiesta at the school
Never knew a drama can be such a GREAT tool
As the man explained Sinbox Sally
Nobody claimed it as being silly
The children listening intently to the meaning of Jesus’ love
Grasping to the knowledge that Jesus wouldn’t separate Himself and them with a glove
The hope that are looking for is automatically clung to
Their freedom and hope is what Christ set to do.

Many of the people would agree
That Christ could set them free
Living from day to day with only little to play
And a lifelong dream becoming a reality
And Jesus is more seen here with compassion and authenticity
Faith in completely Christ is a dying breed
Their hope is solely on the unseen
I heard them repeat the sinners prayer
Tears ran down their Created texture
And peace flowed from heaven and warmed their wounded souls
And Jesus is whom they now know

Whether we split until groups of girls and boys
There was only a silent noise
The soft tender motion
Of making that notion
That Christ is Lord
And He came with a mighty sword
Breaking bonds and setting captives free
As the hands rose up high
Into the sky
Reaching to the One whom set them free

A Call to America to be REAL

It’s hard to grow up in America. The Truth about God is watered down to nothing but a mere ideology for someone to add to their own lives. [We have fallen from the path that God has for us.] Abortion is allowed and stepping on grass can get you fined by the government. Where has this nation gone? We were founded by Christopher Columbus, a man of God. Yes, a man of God, the history books no longer tell the truth. Government officials have thrown out the Bible in all issues and yet we wonder why this nation is still falling apart? Wake up! Parents have allowed the schools to pass out birth control to the teenagers and we wonder why they’re pregnant in high school and drop out? We have allowed the teenagers to dress skimpy and not teach modesty among the people. The Church has become a 2 hour fix of relief; instead of a lifestyle full of hope.

What can we do as Christians? As believers in Jesus Christ the one true King of all nations and people, have sat out the fight long enough; sadly it looks as if we are losing the battle over our souls. We need to wake up and realize that this issue in our nation is a spiritual issue. The enemy is destroying this nation through abortions, divorce, homosexuality, murderous thieves, and so on. Yet America is wondering what’s wrong? The people are protecting the eggs of eagles and not their own children and their selves.

Our soul is eternal, but our body this flesh is short lived. Eternity is in view. The end of this world is coming, Jesus is coming back. First, we need to wake up and prepare the way of the Lord.

Reality is no longer real in America. Webster’s Dictionary explains that reality is fact. We are asleep not realizing that we, as a nation, are falling from Truth. In America, fact is being covered up by the lies of the perverted ways of the government. We are slumbering to reality of the spiritual war going on this world. We have let the culture come into the church, instead of being the church in our culture. We have let the world define the church of America. We allowed virtual reality to drown us into its captivating trap of laziness that leads to death.
The church conformed the world. The church can no longer live in this slumber of Christianity. We need to wake up and come to our reality in our walk with the Lord. The fact is creation is supernaturally done by the Creator God. The fact in our own bodies is laminin is in the shape of a cross. He built His meaning of sacrificial love into our bodies.

The Lord has a destined plan for all people and especially America. We are blessed that our nation was looked for by Christopher Columbus whose ancestor’s talked about a land off to the west. That he, the great-grandfather or so whom, would rather come here to live his last days, than to see his own family.

It’s time to awaken and know that this generation rising up needs to wake up to the glory divine and intercede with the Spirit and do the work of God. James 1:22 says, “Be doers of the Word.”

Our longing for reality is only satisfied by the Word of the Lord. We need Truth. Truth is ONLY the Word of God. The Bible is our manual to our life. Reality is awakening to the call of the Lord to go be a doer of the Word. Be love for God is love and if you believe in Jesus with all of your heart you are saved and He is in you, through the power of the Holy Spirit. Go be a doer of the Word and live by faith in Christ Jesus.

Heart's Desire/Declaration

O God may my heart be after Your heart of love and compassion. Lord as the oceans crash against the shore, as the flower blooms in the light of Your face, and the trees dance in the delight of Your voice calling out to Your people.

Lord I answer Your call by making this declaration,

"I am Your's solely and only Your's. I am here for Your destiny that Your lined up for me. Lord prepare this heart of mine for the journey. I declare that I am Your vessel and I am hungry for You to the point I will not sleep until I hear from Heaven, the sound of Your voice. I will go where You want me to go."

God of Heaven and earth put a cry of a warrior inside of me to cry out to this nation for repentence. A cry of revival in our individual lives, homes, churches, cities, and our nation.

Be the center of the flame in my life, O King.

For You are the Great Shepherd, guide me into eternal glory.
strengthen, support, correct me when I am wrong.

AMEN!!!!!

Don't be a shadowboxer of Truth. Be a Doer.

I am getting tired of people whom claim to love the Lord yet do nothing to show His love, have no faith through actions, or just simply never passing it on. Christians around our nation have come to the conclusion the best thing we can do before Jesus comes is to lock themselves in church (the building); instead of being the church. A church is the whole body of believers, not a building.


Does it matter to you that my generation is not getting the truth about Jesus Christ inside the church walls?


If you are the one who goes to church and only the church inside the church, you need to wake up. Be the Church outside those four walls. We, as followers of Jesus Christ, are the Church of God (the Body of Christ) everywhere and all the time (a vessel for His glory).


So often we, as Christians, get comfy in our relationship with Christ. Now is the time to persevere after the heart of God. It is time to quit lollygagging around and being of this world, for we are not of this world (John 15:19). Do not conform to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind (Romans 12:2). For after we gave our hearts to the Savior, Jesus Christ, we have come under His Lordship and a son or daughter to the Father God.


But how often do we call Him Lord? How often do we talk to Him during the calm times? It’s amazing that we only go to God during the issues of family, financial, etc. come up, but yet not go to Him in the calmest times. Imagine how your relationship with God will flourish if you come to Him fervently and honestly during your beautiful times in life. You would be stronger during the weakest times.


Or are we Christians not dedicated to God fully totally sold out to His will for us?
Now people, is the time. Oh people just hear me out. This now generation is crying out silently for help and finding none. They seek for “things” and not the One True Lover of our souls. The world is swallowing my generation slowly and if we don’t cry out now for mercy and repent from our wrongness, my generation will die.


But I believe there are a people out there whom seek God and are willing to lay down their lives for the sake of their brothers and sisters in Christ (to be a living sacrifice for God to completely use to transform the world[Romans 12:1-2]). Is that person you? Are you willing to be used by the Holy Spirit to impact the world for His Glory in this dead generation.


The young generation may get hurt by truth, but I (since I am a part of this generation) would rather you tell me the truth than to sugarcoat it and put whip cream on it with a cherry a top. Their relief in porn, sex, drugs, alcohol, and illegal activities will not sooth their pain, it only gets worse. For Satan roams around; seeking after whom he may destroy (1 Peter 5:8). The devil wants to destroy their innocence before they even realize it’s gone. This breaks my heart that 13 year olds are having sex in classrooms. Do you yet see the problem? This generation of hatred and pain are looking for answer and they become Satan’s toys to play with and tempt even further into his pit of Hell. Why you ask? Well, because we have shut our mouths and taught them nothing about protecting their souls. We have simply put them on the street to let Satan devour.


We need to equip them with truth of Jesus Christ. And be a willing vessel to pray and do God’s Word. James 1:21-24 (Amplified Bible) explains, “21So get rid of all uncleanness and the rampant outgrowth of wickedness, and in a humble (gentle, modest) spirit receive and welcome the Word which implanted and rooted [in your hearts] contains the power to save your souls.”
We as believers of Jesus Christ need to equip ourselves in the Word and be rooted and grounded in Christ’s love (Ephesians 3:15-19).


“22But be doers of the Word [obey the message], and not merely listeners to it, betraying yourselves [into deception by reasoning contrary to the Truth].

23For if anyone only listens to the Word without obeying it and being a doer of it, he is like a man who looks carefully at his [own] natural face in a mirror;

24For he thoughtfully observes himself, and then goes off and promptly forgets what he was like.”


It’s time for us to be REAL and HONEST to the ears that will hear the Word of God spoken. To be the example of Jesus Christ (the doer of the Word); here on earth for unbelievers to see the Kingdom demonstrated and come to know Jesus as Lord and Savior. John 3:3 [Amplified Version]: Jesus answered him, I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, that unless a person is born again (anew, from above), he cannot ever see (know, be acquainted with, and experience) the kingdom of God.


It is time to go after that generation whom have been hurt and are hurting and seek relief, but find none. FOR JESUS is their only HOPE and it’s time for the people of God to stand up and armor up to go prepare the way of the Lord.


Ephesians 6:10-18 (Amplified Bible) declares, “10In conclusion, be strong in the Lord [be empowered through your union with Him]; draw your strength from Him [that strength which His boundless might provides].

11Put on God's whole armor [the armor of a heavy-armed soldier which God supplies], that you may be able successfully to stand up against [all] the strategies and the deceits of the devil.

12For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the despotisms, against the powers, against [the master spirits who are] the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere.

13Therefore put on God's complete armor, that you may be able to resist and stand your ground on the evil day [of danger], and, having done all [the crisis demands], to stand [firmly in your place].

14Stand therefore [hold your ground], having tightened the belt of truth around your loins and having put on the breastplate of integrity and of moral rectitude and right standing with God,

15And having shod your feet in preparation [to face the enemy with the firm-footed stability, the promptness, and the readiness produced by the good news] of the Gospel of peace.

16Lift up over all the [covering] shield of saving faith, upon which you can quench all the flaming missiles of the wicked [one].

17And take the helmet of salvation and the sword that the Spirit wields, which is the Word of God.

18Pray at all times (on every occasion, in every season) in the Spirit, with all [manner of] prayer and entreaty. To that end keep alert and watch with strong purpose and perseverance, interceding in behalf of all the saints (God's consecrated people).”


Jesus is coming soon, don’t you want your children and grandchildren to see and enter into the Kingdom of God to feel so much love come down from the Almighty’s throne?
It’s time to rise up, dust off the religiosity and enter into the Kingdom of God to demonstrate who He is.


For Jesus is NOT religion, HE IS a relationship.


It is time for the people not to be concerned, but to be in anguish over the lost souls and our nation. Time to cry out to God in repentance, for Him to heal our land; we got to repent and turn from wickedness (2 Chronicles 7:14). PRAY. PRAY.


Press into the power of God and pray. Yes it may seem like nothing is happening now, but in the Lord’s time He will release the prayers of the warriors going after His heart and the hearts and minds of the people whom have never known the Lord will turn toward Jesus, finding hope.
It’s time to quit trying to impact the world through our own flesh and let God impact the world through us with the power of the Holy Spirit.


David Wilkerson spoke out about the church being so comfy and passive,

“Anguish means extreme pain and distress. Deep pain. Deep sorrow. Agony of God’s heart. All true passion comes out of anguish. All true passion for Christ comes out of a baptism of anguish. You’ll search the Scripture, and you’ll find that when God determined to recover a ruined situation, He would share His own anguish, for what God saw happening to His church and to His people. And He would find a praying man and he would take that man and literally baptism him in anguish.” Nehemiah was a man a praying man that did not just have concern but had anguish. He said, “No, I broke down and wept and I mourned and I fasted. Then I began to pray night and day.”


Yes the journey of anguish will be suffering. 1 Peter 5:10 says, “In His kindness God called you to share in His eternal glory by the means of Jesus Christ. SO after you have suffered a little while, He will restore, support, and strengthen you, and He will place you on a firm foundation. “


For the Lord is our Cornerstone; therefore, our foundation is based on Him. He is the One whom holds us up and wraps His mighty arms around us to comfort us in the midst of turmoil. We need to build up that foundation through prayer and supplication to our God and King. Pray earnestly seeking the face of God and going after His heart.

Warriors

They come and go
leaving no trace
but simply a feeling
tells us they're here
they're here
lifting wings
feathers, powerfully beautiful
but wings rough and ridged
after battle
a battle of good versus evil
fight for; good or evil
over our soul
their presence is of peace
also of calmness
white robes with silver
and gold linings
brightlly shining lights
flow from them
heavenly angels.

I am (revised on May 24, 2010)

I am an experimental learner who draws on furniture with sharpies

I wonder if I encountered my guardian angel

I hear the sound of the blind seeing light in the darkness

I see sounds bouncing off invisible molecules shooting into the sky

I want to go on a mission trip to see the intensity of worshipping our King

I am an experimental learner who draws on furniture with sharpies



I pretend I am a director for a GREAT movie

I feel others pains and worries

I touch the Garden of Eden in the moonlit night

I worry that more fall away from the presence of the Holy Anointed One

I cry for the soldiers who are fighting for us

I am an experimental learner who draws on furniture with sharpies



I understand that not everyone will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven

I say I am loved by the Creator of the universe

I dream thousands will receive the power of the Holy Ghost

I try to gain knowledge of this world through the Word

I hope for peaceful nights of sleep in the Arms of Jesus
