The Cross of Self! A Prophetic Psalm


A much-needed prayer and prophetic psalm the Lord has given me... a cry for the heart of pride, and a plea of surrender.

Many of us are fighting to be right, still fighting to be proud - Fighting to be noticed... Fighting to be important... Fighting to be seen... Fighting to be vindicated... Fighting to be respected...
God never asked us to fight for these things.

Therefore I am grateful to fight to be broken, to fight to lay down... At his feet. To fight to love & and forgive above myself. To fight for humility and to fight to stay low so that only he would stand up in me. To Fight to stay down, ever fighting to be still, and fighting to turn the other cheek. Fighting against myself, fighting against my will, fighting against my own esteem, control, and self-preservation. 

Thank you, Lord, for your heavy hand upon me! I would rather lay in humility on the floor of your courts for eternity - than to stand in the heights of the World for a lifetime only.

I am Grateful for the press! I am safe under your heaviness... 

Your word brings me low. Low enough to be high on your love. Low enough to be protected from the proud, to be covered from disgrace. 

I trade in my dignity for the robes of your Grace. I surrender my ego & self-importance for your eternal purposes. I let go of self-worth for value in your worthiness.

My soul is glad to be abased and tamed under your glory... My emotions are aflame and passions are a burning fire purging in the furnace of your Spirit. 

How beautiful is the crushing of my humanity under the weight of your Word? When the world seeks comfort - my heart finds rest in the discomfort of Truth and the birth pains of revival. When the world seeks pleasures my heart leaps for joy at the affliction of your higher calling - never compromised, never in slumber.

When beauty & Blessing remind me of your hand of grace - testing and tribulation remind me of your heart of sacrifice. Your cross of true Love. 

Crucify my heart, resurrect my soul, revive my life and Live in it forevermore.

"The Cross of Self"
If only we really knew how to Love! 
Help us, Lord, teach us - we have so much further to go.

A Dangerous Prayer!

I despondently watched a drop of water roll all the way down the window as I laid prostrate across my fully reclined seat in my car over a lake early in the morning. I had been at the lake in my car all night trying to stay warm as the tears streamlined down my face like the same streaming rain that was soaking my windshield. An unfavorable fire kindled and burned so deep within me, a pain that was almost hard to endure sunk deeper and deeper into the pit my soul, "it was an egregious rejection" My eyes glazed over as if to be amiss  to all reality... I had lost everything! I lost all that I built up over the years, all that I aspired to be! My life as I knew it was destroyed, with what seemed to be no hope of restoration... Failure rung in my ears and disappointment seemed to become permanently branded on my forehead. I died that day like so many other days before it... and began getting to a point where I questioned how much more I had to suffer and how much more di...

SIGNS of Injustice Turning - Prophetic Foretelling - Nicholas Maduro Passing?

On the morning of December 20th, 2020 around 10am, I woke with visions and an audible voice that stated "Venezuela Incumbent Dies". This message startled me as I opened my eyes muttering exactly what I heard. It was a clear audible message, almost like a headline. There were no questions as to what I heard. I have no affiliation or interest in particular concerning Venezuela. Neither did I know what the word "incumbent" actually meant. Again I had no personal, political connection or interest to the subject in the context of my encounter. I only know what I heard. I began to pray and study the subject in order to gain a better context of what God might be doing or saying. This particular prophetic word took me outside of the comforts of my local vision,  to see the bigger picture from a worldview. Let's take a closer look as I unpack the revelation I believe I received from the startling three words I woke up to.  VENEZUELA If we took a trip overseas to Venezuel...

I See the Old Man Leaving!

In a waking morning vision I  clearly saw the body of someone curled up on the floor in the spirit... Their Identify was not clear - but a part of themselves Got up and walked out of their body... Never to return again. I heard the Spirit of God Highlight to me the scripture Ephesians 4:22 Put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness. Further, I sense the spirit of God decreeing deliverance over many in the body of Christ as I see many believing God for for long awaited changes to take place in themselves... whether bad habits or sins and just being stuck in old ways. In this vision - I sensed that when the old man separated and walked away, there was no returning! I hear the lord decreeing over you this season to put off the old man, that your old ways and issues are leaving y...
