THE LIVING WORDS OF CHRIST, THE PSALMS OF MY LIFE

GOD'S LIVING WORD FOR TODAY

Ephesians 6:10-17 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his
mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand
against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood,
but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark
world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full
armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and
after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of
truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,
and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.
In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can
extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of
the Spirit, which is the word of God.

Hilary Weeks - He Hears Me


PSALMS OF JOY CHAPTER 82

BLESSED VINE
1. What insurmountable trust would let me go to the crushing of failure?
Only your infallible and invincible love interceding, my Lord

2. I am truly the workmanship of your hands. Your love has hovered over my will-full and apathetic ways. Your patience has endured the stripes of my shame, the arrogance of my high-mindedness.

3. I have been blinder than the blind, deafer than the deaf. Yet you have spoken gently and opened my eyes to the corruption of my soul, and the delusions of my mind.

4. You would teach me of the Love that passes all understanding and the joy that fills the soul with overflowing thanksgiving and praise.

5. I cling to You my Beloved. Never let me go. I praise you for the crushing of your presence in my life. For the oil of gladness that has come from it. For the Life that now flows within the branch of me.

You Deserve the Glory by Terry McAlmon


MY BURDEN BEARER

 









1.  I AM NUMB LORD...I JUST READ THE HEART'S CRY OF ONE CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS, AND I AM TORN BETWEEN MY OWN SELFISH NEED FOR YOU AND MY LACK OF SPONTANEOUS LOVE OF THE BRETHREN




2.  I DON'T EVEN HAVE THE WORDS TO EXPLAIN MY HEART__AND I FALL BEFORE YOU CONFESSING MY NEED FOR YOUR HELP__I KNOW THAT THIS HOUR IS LATE__I KNOW YOU WANT ME TO LEARN TO REIGN IN THE POWER OF YOUR SPIRIT

3.  LORD, I DESIRE TO REIGN WITH YOU__WHERE DO I START?
YOU ASKED ME TO SURRENDER__PERHAPS I HAVE NOT SURRENDERED AS YOU WILL__HELP ME TO UNDERSTAND YOUR PERFECT WILL

4.  I CONFESS THAT I AM A SINNER__ONLY YOUR GRACE CAN SAVE ME FROM THE STRONGHOLD OF MY WILL__DELIVER ME O LORD MY GOD.
LET NOT THE ENEMY OF MY SOUL REJOICE OVER ME__BE GLORIFIED

5.  AS HE ANTICIPATES HIS VICTORY__I SHALL HOLD FAST THE PROFESSION OF MY FAITH__I SHALL CLING TO THE CROSS WHERE YOU CRIED, "IT IS FINISHED"__AND DECLARE THAT YOU RULE AT THE RIGHT HAND OF YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN AND IN ME
6.  LORD, I CANNOT GO TO BATTLE, UNLESS YOU PREPARE ME__WITH UNDERSTANDING AND DISCERNMENT OF YOUR WORD__AND WHAT AUTHORITY IS MINE IN YOUR NAME

7.  I KNOW I WILL NOT BE DELIVERED BY SPIRITUAL WORKS OR WORDS AS IF BY MAGIC__I HAVE KNOWN THE DEFEAT OF SUCH IGNORANCE AND PRESUMPTION__IT IS SPIRITUAL PRIDE THAT HAS CAUSED IRREVOCABLE DEFEAT FROM DISOBEDIENCE TO YOUR PERFECT WILL AS I WALKED IN SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS, PRIDE, AND VEILED ARROGANCE

8.  I HAVE SEEN THE FACE OF AN ADULTEROUS HEART IN THE MIRROR__BUT I HAVE ALSO SEEN HER SPIRIT__SHE IS A SINNER LORD, YES__BUT SHE WAS A SLAVE.

9.  HAVE MERCY ON HER LORD__HAVE MERCY__YOU BOUGHT HER WITH YOUR BLOOD __ONLY YOU CAN WASH HER AND MAKE HER CLEAN__ONLY YOU CAN CALL HER BY NAME, AND MAKE HER YOUR OWN__ONLY YOU CAN TEACH HER TO TRUST LOVE AGAIN, AND TRULY LOVE IN RETURN...


10. SHE IS NOT FIGHTING AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD__HER ENEMIES ARE INVISIBLE__IT IS AN OPEN ATTACK UPON HER SOUL__ BY SATAN HIMSELF

11. YOU HAVE MADE IT CLEAR THAT YOU WILL NO LONGER RESCUE ME OUT OF MY UNBELIEF__THOUGH YOU COULD__FOR YOU WANT ME TO LEARN NOT TO EVADE OR ESCAPE YOUR LESSONS OF FAITH AND CONFIDENCE IN THE POWER OF YOUR MIGHT
 
12. IT IS NOT IN MY POWER OR MIGHT__OR ANY OTHER__IT IS BY YOUR SPIRIT__YOU HAVE TOLD ME THAT__

"THE ENEMY WOULD FLEE FROM ME IF HE SAW YOU IN ME"
 
13. DOES HE SEE FAITH?__DOES HE SEE CONFIDENCE IN THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH?__DOES HE SEE THE PRESENCE OF YOUR SPIRIT IN ME?
 
14. YOU ARE MY BURDEN BEARER __ HEAR MY CRY, LORD __ YOU ALONE HAVE ALL THE POWER AND AUTHORITY AGAINST HIM? __ I SURRENDER TO YOUR POWER AND AUTHORITY IN ME.__BE GLORIFIED, HONORED AND PRAISED.

PSALMS OF JOY CHAPTER 83


1.  LORD,  speak in me
from embered fire
my soul's desire
from dross and dregs of shame

2.  Shekinah's glorious beaming
from out a brief unsteady flicker
to sudden red-orange flame

3.  From spirit born to Spirit
let all Your burning be
the joy of my refining
the polar of my being
not half way in between

4.  But raging in it's volume
an all consuming fire
that leaves my flesh in ashes
Your grace my one attire

5.  Be jeweled in Love's one constant
and my eternal rest
the Hope of all the ages
now burns within my breast.

6.  All glory, hallelujah
all glory Lord,  amen
what grace the breath of Spirit
revives my soul again.                    jOY

Captivate My Heart-Terry Macalmon


LORD CAPTIVATE MY HEART

 



LORD__CARRY ME AWAY BEYOND
MYSELF TODAY. THAT PLACE WHERE HUMAN LOVE CANNOT FLY.
MY LOVE TRIES TO BE WISE__SENSIBLE AND CALCULATING. CAREFUL AND COMPROMISING__AVOIDING CONFRONTATION AT THE EXPENSE OF DENYING YOUR HOLINESS AND UNCOMPROMISING WORD.

THE TRUE NATURE OF YOUR LOVE DELIVERS ME FROM THE SUBTLENESS OF PERSONAL AFFECTIONS__
IT DOES NOT HAVE THE AROMA OR TASTE OF DUTY, USEFULNESS, OR REWARD__NOTHING BEYOND THE FACT THAT I LOVE YOU.
YOU HAVE BEEN CHASTISING ME IN YOUR LOVE__ OVER MY TENDENCY TO PROCRASTINATE IN WHAT I KNOW IS YOUR WORD CONCERNING SERVICE__(((AM I OF REAL VALUE?))) ....Am I Real?
!!!! I AM SO HAPPY!!!! THANK YOU FOR SHOWING ME THIS!!!!___
YOU ARE THE GREAT ((( I AM))) !!!!

THE ENEMY OF MY SOUL IS ALWAYS BRINGING MY THOUGHTS TO DOUBT, SAYING__” AM I?”
LORD__ I SEE! IT’S TIME FOR ME TO COME OUT OF THE DESERT OF THE TRIALS OF WHO I AM__EVEN AS YOU WERE TESTED CONCERNING WHO YOU WERE.
IT IS THE ACCEPTANCE OF WHO WE ARE IN YOU THAT GIVES US THE FAITH AND CONFIDENCE TO TALK THE TALK AND WALK THE WALK OF FAITH.

I SHOULD BE DOING__(((FAITH)))
IN MY THINKING__MY RELATIONSHIPS__MY RESPONSIBILITIES__MY WORSHIP
IN THE SIMPLE, EVERYDAY HUMAN THINGS THAT LET YOUR TOUCH BE MADE KNOWN__YOUR VOICE__THE WORD BEING MADE ALIVE IN ME.

THIS IS THE EVIDENCE OF MY ABANDONMENT TO YOU__AND MY REST.

NOT MY PERSONAL HOLINESS__CAUGHT IN THE NET OF HOW OTHERS PERCEIVE ME__OR EVEN A MORBID SENSE OF FEAR THAT YOU LORD ARE NOT PLEASED IN WHAT I SAY OR DO.

LET YOUR LOVE SO FREE ME OF EVER DOUBTING YOUR LOVE IN ANY WAY__

AM I ABANDONED TO YOUR LOVE?__DO I TRUST FOR YOUR LOVE?__CAN I FLY ON WINDS OF FAITH, SOARING THE HEIGHTS__WITHOUT THE LEAST THOUGHT OF THE MOTIONS OF WINGS__FEELING THE RUSH OF THE THERMALS LIFTING ME HIGHER, HIGHER STILL?

LORD__LET MY HOPE IN YOU BE PURIFIED__NOT IN THE STRAIN OF PROVING ANYTHING__BUT THE EARNEST DESIRE OF DYING TO MYSELF__
NOT IN THE WORK OF DYING__BUT THE GRACE.
I AM MORE THAN A CONQUEROR__BECAUSE OF YOUR LOVE.

MY LONGING IN THE NIGHT

 

 



The whole life of the good Christian is a holy longing. What you desire ardently, as yet you do not see…by withholding of the vision, God extends the longing, through longing he extends the soul, by extending he makes room in it. Let us long because we are to be filled…that is our life, to be exercised by longing. ”
~ St. Augustine



PSALMS OF JOY  CHAPTER 84
 
1.  LORD__YES, THERE IS ALWAYS LONGING FOR YOU IN MY SOUL__I AM EASILY FILLED TO OVERFLOWING OF YOU.
2.  YOU WELL UP IN ME__MY CUP RUNS OVER.
HOW IS IT THAT I CONTINUE TO LONG WHEN I AM FULL?
                                     ******************* 

"IT IS THE LONGING THAT GIVES RISE TO THE EVERLASTING SPRINGS OF LIFE__AND THESE SPRINGS ARE THE PRAISES OF SUCH LONGING.
FROM GLORY TO GLORY, SUCH LONGING SHALL BRING YOU INTO EVEN MORE LONGING.
IT WAS SUCH THAT CALLED ME APART INTO MY FATHER'S PRESENCE__IT WAS THE ALPHA THAT SPRANG INTO THE OMEGA.
COME AND DRINK OF THE WATERS OF LIFE THAT SPRING FORTH IN LONGING UNTO PRAISE
PARTAKE OF THE FULLNESS OF EVER INCREASING LONGING."


Marc Ivey - Only Jesus

THE LAST OF DAYS


 

                                                                                                                                                        

A PROPHETIC WORD

This Coalition is a spider's web...A reasoned and irrational decree...
 
Devised in it's formulate sweetness...A venomous brew...A Charmer's Swathe...
 
A passage of deception, to white washed tombs.
 
Lumbar straits, through open gates.
 
a mass of worker bees...nest within the honey comb...to coax the widowed friend.
 
Where bear and leopard gathers...where serpent's coil their way...
 
into the lap of children...who only want to play.
 
The white hot of destruction...will come from Love's own hand...
 
and cleanse each mighty ocean...and harvest on the land...
 
This Word, though it be spoken...lacks power and it lacks might...
 
but let me warn you sternly...God's Spirit has come to fight.
 
No nation, man, or demon...not Satan, even himself...
 
knows just what he's got into...or how he lost his stealth.
 
The plan of all the ages...is there to plainly see...
 
Loves' warning,,,and redemption...was given to you and me...
 
Go read it...hide it deeply...within your mortal heart...
 
and pray the God of heaven...will show you His own heart..
 
Don't fear what's in the future,..Fear God, and then you'll see...
the meaning of this oracle...
from A clear through to Z................................Joy  (pillarjewel)

   The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.

Cadet Sisters - Oh I Want To Know You More


PSALMS OF JOY CHAPTER 85

You are my blessed Redeemer
who manifests your sons in glory
who gives them power
to become your sons

Lord baptize us with Your fire
make us gleaners in Your field
so we can go rejoicing in confidence
yes,  dancing and singing
in the fields ripe unto harvest

Look! how they bow their heads
with willing hearts
Your glory, Lord, is revealed to them
Therefore shall the harvest come in
Our only labor,  a labor of love
Your love, Lord

"Who are these"? the religious ask
"Those who are dancing in the fields?
Shouldn't they be laboring to bring
it in?"

Who are they?
Those who are singing sweet songs
of rest.
They toil not in their labor. 

"Look!   See!"
Myriads of angels are coming
Spirits of fire!  to redeem the harvest
A great harvest!

What's this?
There's a burning, but the fields are
not consumed!

Who are these who go dancing in the
flames with One who looks like the Son
of the Living God?
