Praise Break - Ghost Town (Freedom)

The earth was new, a great frontier
The perfect place to spread his fear
So satan set up shop to draw them in
Bright lights to display all his wares
"Come on in, forget your cares"
That devil knew just how to package sin
People came from far and wide
Not a guilty soul denied
But before they knew they'd been deceived
They'd step inside and never leave
They said his eyes were black as coal
His voice a shudder to the soul
He preyed upon the broken and the proud
He told them they were lost for good
No one loved them and who would
Before too long he owned that fallen town
And from inside the gates they'd wail:
Who can save us from this hell?
And as their hopes turned into tears
He laughed and all his demons stood and cheered

Then down a dirt road from the east
Came one, they said, could slay the beast
But did not fight with bullets or a sword
They called him Mercy and at his side
A thousand angels chose to ride
And as they moved, the ground, like thunder, roared
Stepping down from his white horse
And with a supernatural force
He spoke to his demonic foe
"I'm here to keep the law so let them go"
But that great deceiver only grinned
As his demons rallied to defend
He said: "The price of justice must be paid!"
So Mercy, rising from his seat
Showed them all his hands and feet
And said: "I am the lamb that was slayed"
Then the demons and their thief
Shook their heads in disbelief
And began to writhe upon the ground
When they saw he held the keys to their ghost town



Then one by one the slaves began to shout
And the captives found their way out
Mercy broke the chains and they cried out:
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Mercy broke the chains and they cried out:
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Then one by one the slaves began to shout
And the captives found their way out
Mercy broke the chains and they cried out:
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Mercy broke the chains and they cried out:
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Then one by one the slaves began to shout
And the captives found their way out
Mercy broke the chains and they cried out:
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom

HALLELUJAH!

Podcast Episode 3: Living in THE Truth

I started a podcast! We are 3 (three) episodes in. I talked about a Jonah moment over on Facebook and this was it. God had placed on my heart to start this podcast a year ago and I sat in the fish a whole year. But, I finally decided to be obedient and the fish spit me out and I'm so glad that I did. This has been a good ride so far. God is good. Episode 3 is up now. In this episode we talk about truth. In this crazy world we are in today the truth is in the eye of the beholder. We are living in our truth. But God is the same yesterday, today and forever and in God's economy there is one truth, THE truth. Jesus is the way, TRUTH, and the life.  Thanks for listening. The podcast is on all of these platforms. So please listen and rate.

Expectation in God

  So now wrap your heart tightly around the hope that lives within us, knowing that God always keeps his promises!     -Hebrews 10:23, Passion Translation   I was taught that expecting God to give me things or do things for me was bad. We’re told to ask God for things but, in the same breath, not expect Him to give them to us. It was in the name of piety but how backward is that? Especially because it contradicts God’s Word. Then on the flip side, now we tell people to "Name it and claim it" but that leads to disillusioned Christians disappointed that God hasn't granted their wishes. God isn't a genie. That contradicts God's Word too. How many of us know the scripture, ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened to you? ( Matthew 7:7-8) If this is true, which it is, doesn’t that create expectancy? Doesn’t that mean I should expect to receive something? Of cour...

God is Not a Man

I'll say it one more time for those in the back, God is Not a Man. God is God.  I saw someone on Twitter say, I wish they would refer to God in she/her pronouns.  This instantly didn't sit right with me. I get that we want to see ourselves in God but we are made in the image of God. Both man and woman. Who are we as the created to place this finite construct of male and female on the God that created the world by speaking? When we talk of God the Father we say he and him but He is not a man in the sense that we comprehend. God had a very clear role for men that this world has taken and perverted. Men were to be our protection, trustworthy, loving, a mirror of Christ's love for His church. The problem is that the church has made Ephesian 5 about women submitting to their husbands although God only spends 2 verses on that and spend 9 verses on telling men how they are supposed to love their wives . Because this World and man's creation of patriachy has so perverted the o...
