ONCE AGAIN

You, O Lord, always come to my rescue
When I feel like one more day would be
As a crashing avalanche upon my soul.
You take pity on me
As You look upon me
And You grace me Once Again
To call on You, however feeble 
Might be my cry.


You give new strength, new sight, new hope
And Once Again, all seems well 
Under the shadow of your
Eternal Love and faithfulness.
You draw me to bask in Your 
Transforming love and peace
And my smile of gratefulness 
Returns to my countenance...


For You and You alone 
Are my life and my joy
And You and You alone
Give your transforming power
In mercy and compassion
As You meet me where I am
With Your kind and patient and loving heart~


Truly, there is no end to You and Your
Eternal supply of all I desperately need~
You appear when I call 
And call I will do~by Your grace~
Until my last breath~
Only to meet You Once Again...
Face to face.

THE BROKEN CHAINS

I was in worship and the Holy Spirit prompted me in a quiet sweet way to stay in His Presence and not be impatient or get up.


 I had been praying for chains to break off of me more and more and for chains to break off of God's children and the prodigals and especially my family.  My prayers were for the chains of religious teaching from the church organization, apathies, laziness, compromise, neglect of God, prayerlessness, continuing bad habits, defeat, self-indulgence, lack of discipline, a lack of repentance, etc. to come off.


I saw an example, either myself or another person with chains on their wrists break off, then the chains broke off the ankles, then the neck, next the mind and lastly the heart. 


Then I prayed for the chains to come off of God's children across this nation, the chains that are keeping them in sleep and slumber, lukewarmness, to turn to the Lord and repent.  I cried out for the prodigals to come home to our Father and to repent.  Across the nation I saw the chains breaking off of individuals and I heard the sound of the chains as they were breaking off of them.  As they were falling to the ground they became louder and louder and more and more thunderous.  Then those who were set free rose up swiftly in a brand new powerful freedom and liberty to serve the Lord with a single eye. They were joyous, mighty, strong, grateful, loved and loving towards the Living God with all their minds, hearts and souls!  God is doing His work~quickly!  Sad to say, yet according to His Word, there were not the many, but the few in this nation who arose to love and serve our Blessed god, Hashem, the Merciful, Jealous One!
