II Timothy 2:20-21 - But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also [utensils] of wood and earthenware, and some for honorable and noble [use] and some for menial and ignoble [use]. So whoever cleanses himself [from what is ignoble and unclean, who separates himself from contact with contaminating and corrupting influences] will [then himself] be a vessel set apart and useful for honorable and noble purposes, consecrated and profitable to the Master, fit and ready for any good work.

As I drove to work this morning, the Holy Spirit revealed and spoke into my spirit, "It's not how much God uses us, but the measure that He INFUSES us that matters and lasts throughout eternity. For there are both vessels of honor and dishonor in the Kingdom. For example, God used Pharoah just as He used Moses. He used King Saul just as He used King David. He used Judas just as He used the Apostles Peter, John, and Paul (though he was born out of due time, so it's not too late!) ... I immediately repented for every foolish prayer that I ever prayed in ignorance!
Psalm 19:14 - "Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, oh Lord, my strength and my redeemer."
Infuse Me!
Oh Lord, God!
I want to KNOW You
Not only in my teaching
And preaching,
But in my breathing
And heart - beating.
Oh Lord, God!
I want to KNOW You
Not only in my spoken word
That is heard
But in the poetry of my heart
That flows from my deepest part.
So, let the words of my mouth
Flow north, not south
Let them be of faith, not doubt
Let the meditation of my heart
Never tear Your heart apart.
Oh Lord, God!
Do NOT pass me by,
But HEAR my heart's cry!
INFUSE me!
So, that I can finally lose ME
And YOU can finally use me.
Oh Lord, God!
Let Your burning coal touch my lips
So that I may hit and not miss
The bulls eye of Your heart, Word, and will
That those listening may be filled
With Your Light, Life, and Love
That flows from Your throne above.
As I spit each rhyme
Let my rhythm sync with your time.
Oh Lord, God!
Let Your holy fire
Be my one heart's desire
Let my words be carried by the wings of Your Spirit
So, that even deaf ears will hear it
Let Heaven kiss the Earth
As You give birth
To Your Word, Will and Way
Through the words that I pray
Oh Lord, God!
Let my redemption story
Bring YOU ALL the glory
So others will lift their eyes and C. Love
Descending like the Holy Ghost Dove.
Oh Lord, God!
I want to KNOW You
Not only in my teaching
And preaching,
But in my breathing
And heart - beating.
Oh Lord, God!
I want to KNOW You
Not only in my spoken word
