invasion

June 1, 2010

I kick out of my head and heart
every thought
every person
every situation
every circumstance
that tries to invade my mind illegally;
for they are squatters
but You are the One
who has legal rights
to my life…
The only One
who has paid the price
to take up residence in my heart.

You own me.

Jesus, please invade my mind
and heart with Your love.

fencing

June 1, 2010

Ultimately,
the most important choice
I’ll ever make is
choosing Jesus
above the enemy of my soul.

Once and for always
believing the only One who died for me!

The first of many choices in my spiritual life
will I believe
the truth or lies?
who will I side with
and allow to whisper words into my heart?
doesn’t make sense to believe
someone who hates me
only makes sense to trust
Someone who loves me
it’s either or
there’s no middle ground
because the truth is

there actually is no fence to sit on.

the power of prayer

March 7, 2010

The thick black rope
of fear
strangles my heart
as it tightens its grip
I hold my breath,
but my heart
is pounding so loudly
that I can hear nothing else!!!!!

Then You come,
in the midst of my fear,
bringing to my remembrance,
that Your Word says
that You have not given me
a spirit of fear
but of love and of power and a sound mind.

As I proclaim
Your words
into the thick darkness that surrounds me
-the rope around my heart
snaps like a piece of thread!

melting mountains

February 24, 2010

The mountain melts
before me
as I shoot the
tiny mustard seed
of faith
from my sling!

Obstacles out of the way
I can see
for the very first time
what You have seen
all along …

Lord, Your specialty
portioning out our faith
to move mountains!

Focusing forward
my future secure
only in You …
