Prayer and Fasting Breaks Yokes

Prayer and fasting breaks yokes, you're not wasting your time.

Keep striving for your jeweled crown, relinquish thoughts to resign.

You must stay strong and fully equipped, the remnant is counting on you.

As a part of the Body of Christ you impact us in what you do.

Push back that plate, say goodbye to sweets, look forward to praying a lot more.

Dust off your artillery, shout, and unleash the undefeated champion of war.

The enemy tries to make great boasts that we know for sure are vain.

We advance to him in the name of Jesus without hesitation or shame.

Prayer and fasting breaks yokes, this is your stone and your sling.

Prayer and fasting breaks yokes, don't quiver, bring honor to our King.

You know this is necessary to thwart the enemy's roar.

Prayer and fasting is what helps us obtain victory in EVERY war.

Give It To Him

Give it to Him, the anxieties you have, release them from your chest.
Absorb yourself in the promises He declares, take refuge, receive your rest.

Give it to Him for He is your God—reliable, faithful and true.
Let go of the thoughts, cast down all fear, arise, He's calling you...

to trust in His Word, submit to His plan and never go astray.
He is God Almighty, He wants you to grow and trust in Him today.

Those things you see and thoughts you face are thorns for your demise.
Give the burdens to Father, pray to Him and you'll receive a renewed pair of eyes.

Your way seems rough, something always comes up and you're wondering when your skies will be clear.
Rest at ease dear child, God is with you, His strength and comfort will appear.

So give it to Him, don't delay, you weren't made to bear such stress.
Give it to Him, you can't handle this on your own, He's preparing you for His best.

Keep your mind focused and think on things that are pure and true.
Get rid of the excess baggage. Give it to Him. Remember He's chosen you

to be a sojourner and follow His will, His plan is greater than you know.
Give Him all the hindrances, move forward and continue to grow.

Detoxify Me from Church

Detoxify me from church Lord, for I came to the Cross for You--
not to become bogged down in all there is to do.

Jesus, I need Your comfort, Your solace, joy and peace.
I need to remember my First Love and tell the religious overdrive to cease.

My mind is made up, I am committed, I will do my best;
to permanently dwell in Your presence and be free from church stress.

I should not live life burdened, busy and obsolete
by being too consumed with working rather than sitting at my Master's feet.

All the extra weight has got to go; I cast my cares upon You.
Your mighty power will show, and with joy I shall pull through.

And best of all, You get to have me--Your child--back again.
No more unnecessary chores to pull me from Your hand.

Here am I Lord, the child that finds pleasure in You.
I won't be dragged astray by having too much to do.

So let’s sit and talk over a looooooooooong cup of tea.
Here's a toast to us, our relationship, and life abundant and free.

Love and Grow

When times seem difficult and obstacles are in the way...

press on conquer that mountain and in Jesus' will stay.

Move forward and don't go back to the person you used to be.

His power is available. Open your heart and bend your knee.

Living sacrifices steadfastly offer their lives and the things they do.

In order to be a good and faithful servant hindrances must become breakthroughs.

So be well advised, God's pathways are explicitly clear:

LOVE, GROW, and MOVE FORWARD, the redemption of your salvation is getting near.

For God Is with Thee

Though your heart is heavy and stress echoes through your mind,

God is on your side, draw close to Him and find...

He is waiting for you every second of the day,

will you go to Him and let His Spirit direct your way?

Distance yourself from the things that you see,

take comfort in knowing that God hears your plea.

Allow the Savior to give you peace and rest.

Consult Him in prayer and He'll alleviate the stress.

Will things be perfect and always go your way?

No, but Jesus promised that He will always stay.

In truth, you must also do your part:

seek Him diligently, release the barriers from your heart.

No Vacancy for Sin

I can hear you knocking, I see you're trying to get in.

No apologies made. There's no vacancies for sin.

You can demand to be let in and I'll refuse to open the door.

My body is God's temple--dedicated to His service forevermore.

Sin, I don't care what you have to say.

You're not welcomed here so go along your way.

My vessel is to remain holy, swept, and thoroughly cleaned.

I earnestly desire to please God, my devotion isn't feigned.

I only have vacancies for faith, humility and love,

plus other Godly attributes bestowed to me from above.

There are no vacancies here for the likes of you!

I don't care what you think, you can go ahead and sue!

Tell your leader that this soul refused to yield...

A vessel of honor upon a solid Rock, her Savior did lovingly build.

The Beautiful Battle

Carcasses of the enemy lie at my feet.

This battle has been long and my victories have been sweet.

Areas I have grown are nested in my mind.

I have more power, more courage, more faith in my Divine.

I'm reminded of previous attacks that Jesus has seen me through.

He tells me to live life one day at a time and to keep His plan in full view.

This battle has been beautiful though I fail to admit

that Jesus has improved me exponentially despite my pleas for the tests to quit.

Many times, I've been disobedient and focused recklessly

on the carnage of the battle, rather than the victory.

Yet He has kept me, He has not let me go.

My mind continues to focus on Him, my growth is present though slow.

The beautiful battles God fights for me

has demonstrated His love, power and sovereignty.

He's Lying

He's lying when he tells you you're not worth very much.
He lied when he said you didn't need to cry out for the Savior's gentle touch.

He'll try to tell you that friends, family, and no one in the church really cares.
Then he'll send you another thought about why people give you crazy looks and stares.

He'll tell you that you're not good enough and that none of those Christians are true.
He'll say, "Don't pick up the Bible or go to church, just do the best that you can do."

As God's gentle voice prompts you several times throughout the day...
"That's not really necessary, do something else" the Deceiver's venom will say.

He'll try to convince you to indulge in your carnal desires
stating that, "life should be enjoyable and you're not headed for eternal fires."

Thoughts of hatefulness, revenge, bitterness, anxiety and dread
he'll send in rotations, to dictate your actions via your head.

He's lying to you. He's a great deceiver and showman you see.
He'll say that God won't provide for you and your lot will be empty.

"Appeal to your flesh, go after your dreams, do something that's real.
Don't waste your time with that dead church. Touch. See. Taste and feel."

He's lying and he's doing a Hell of a job.
Will you adhere to the voice that seeks to destroy, kill and rob?

Shout Instead of Groan

Shout instead of groan, hear what I say:
The victory is ours, the triumph won't be taken away.

Our God is well pleased with those who don't bicker and complain.
He delights in His glorious splendor when we offer praises to His name.

In the same way a father will smile when he hears
his child repeat to others what he's been teaching him for years.

So lift up your head, don't make me have to say it again:
Shout for the victory don't complain about the circumstance you're in.

Did God know about the situation before He formed the sea?
Is He capable of solving the problem efficient and righteously?

Maybe you should put your trust in man who is made of dirt?...
who wouldn't give his wallet let alone his life to prevent your hurt.

So please stop complaining, repent and begin again.
Shout for the victory groaning is being unthankful which is a sin.

I'm Not Day Dreamin' About Anybody Else But You

The clouds are merely the dust of Your feet.
The rocks know Your name, toward me You're ever sweet.

Satan tries to use lust to invade where You belong.
I cast his thoughts beneath my feet and sing You a new song.

You are more powerful than the idols others choose to adore.
I fight to keep my heart toward You, please help me please You more.

Temptation is enticing and I refuse to be weak.
In bondage and full of regrets is not the destination I seek.

Being Your beautiful, chaste, holy bride, without spot and wrinkle free
is impossible if I permit Your will to be covered by carnality.

I must rely on You, I must stay focused and pray.
I need You to be better than Adam and keep me from harm's way.

So this is an invitation dear Lord for You to reside always within my heart.
Where You can dwell eternally, please keep me so that we'll never part.

Thank You Jesus, I love You and do it for me Lord.

Welcome
