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.

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.

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
