The Angelic

Master’s of power with sword burning bright
These magical beings guard us day and night.

More times than not, their roles are overlooked
Often we don’t know it was their advice that we took.

In many different ways and on many different days
These chosen ones have intervened to keep destruction at bay.

Necessary and vital to all that we do, they are
These mysterious creatures are the ones that fight for the Lord.

What need must there be to recognize such as these?
For to see if we could, we would be very pleased.

Worry and fear would cease need to live
God chose well when giving charge over us to them He did bid.

If we really believed that these things were true
Then we would fear no more, instead we would push through.

So do not let unbelief begin to cloud your heart
For all we need of faith is that precious little spark.

Then the fire will begin and we will see
That they will be released to do all that we need.

Be it to comfort or fight or even to give wisdom
Or maybe sing a song and increase our vision.

Whatever they may do their roles are dear
And recognize we should and then walk free from fear.

Joel 2:1 - 11

Blow the trumpet in Zion;
Sound the alarm on my holy mountain.
Let all of the people of the land tremble,
for the day of the Lord is at hand.

For the wicked and all Christians who love this world it is a day of darkness and fear, 
A day of clouds and of blackness.
A large and mighty army is coming.
There has never been one like it, nor will there ever be again.

Before this army the fire of the Lord’s love consumes everything and behind them that fire never goes out.
The wealth and prosperity of this world that seemed to be as the garden of Eden, becomes a devastated desert in light of the reality of this army’s eternal treasures.
They will compromise nothing and tolerate no lies.
They have the appearance of an invincible army streaming down the mountain rushing to the battle.
You can hear the roaring of their worship and rejoicing as they hurdle mountainous problems with ease.
Their passionate love for God and each other rages like a fire moving across dry grass as it consumes all religion and dead works like dry stubble.

At the sight of them the evil powers over nations are in anguish.
Every demon and lukewarm Christian’s face turn’s pale because these people know the authority and power of the name and blood of Jesus.
They charge like warriors, completely free from fear and they can scale any wall because they know the strength and might of their God.
They all march in line never swerving from their course, because their actions are synchronized by the Holy Spirit.
They never push each other, because they are free from pride and selfish ambition.
Doubt and unbelief has been completely removed from their hearts.
Each marches straight ahead, their eyes fixed on the Captain of the Hosts.
They shoot through defenses because they know that greater is He who is in them, then he that is in the world.
They never break rank, because each is confident and flowing in the gifting and role the Lord has placed them.
They rush upon whole cities shaking the powers of the air.
They run along walls having nothing hidden from their sight, able to see far, far ahead.
They climb into houses binding the strong man and like thieves they enter windows and plunder the enemies houses, because the Lord is their covering.

Before them the earth shakes and the sky trembles at the power of the Lord’s chosen and anointed ones.
The sun and moon darken and the stars no longer shine at the light of the presence of God made manifest in his people.

The voice of the Lord thunders at the head of His army.
His forces are without number for the hidden ones have been brought to light.
Mighty are those who obey His every Word.
The Day of the Lord is terrible, who can endure it?

Reality Check


Fires of heaven blaze in the night
Where darkness abounds we go shine the light.

Left alone the darkness gets darker and the peoples turn twisted
Demons ride their backs and they don’t even know they’ve been enlisted to do the work of evil.

Left alone the darkness gets darker and the peoples turn twisted
Demons ride their backs and they don’t even know they’ve been enlisted to do the work of evil.

In their own minds they have created a fantasy world
Their reality is based on nothing that is real
Then they try to convince us that they are right
They tell us that the darkness is really light.

But I have met reality and Jesus is his name
When you truly meet him you won’t see things the same.

When truth is revealed what was nice starts to bite
What you thought were flowers in the day
You begin to see were snakes in the night.

I now see things differently than I did before
Reality up close is better than deception from afar
Though Truth was hard and caused my heart to spar
I now see peace instead of war.

Now I can enjoy the wind on my face
Dreams of joy fill my ecstasy embrace

Though sight revealed my wounded heart, now I am healed
I thought I would never experience the freedom I now feel.

I no longer fight and the flowers no longer bite.

A Touch of Mysticism

Abstinence is burning
Desires are yearning
Yet my fasting is turning
the world around me.

Holiness is bringing
Humility teaching
Supernatural releasing
of divine authority.

Fasting’s reward
If it’s not ignored
Will open the doors
of which we’ve only dreamed.

Not religions boring morality
Or the worlds flight from mortality
But instead a spirituality
where fantasy has become reality.

Holiness is the pipeline
To channel that power divine
Opening eyes that are blind
and deaf ears to hear.

It’s a crazy obsession
This divine possession
Or maybe a spiritual lesson
for those with eyes to see.

The Body of Christ

We know that his body was broken, but did you know it was then made strong?

We know that he was beaten and bruised, but it is his power with which we are now fused.

As Eve was birthed from the rib in Adam’s side, Christ’s Body was birthed on the day that he died.

All that had been lost became a gain, our lives forever changed with him we now reign.

On this earth to serve as ambassadors to be, the representation of Christ, in other words his Body.

Not his body alone, but with his spirit we are filled, thus the authority to reap the harvest in our mission field.

Bringing strength to the weak and rest to the weary, Christ’s love to all in the midst of this life’s journey.

As Christ’s body we have learned many lessons along the way, the name of Jesus for many turns night into day.

The power of his word as always never fails, and when we take time to listen revelation is revealed.

Grace is freely given, never, ever earned. This perhaps is the greatest lesson we could ever learn.

We journey not alone on this life’s path we tread, because it is by His Spirit that each day we are led.

Each time we meet with him our eyes are opened to see, the representation of Christ we are each called to be.

His Body we are, his body we shall be, even as we continue to sojourn on this life’s journey.
