The Matrix - Spoken Word

I set my face to Jerusalem 3 Xs

Not my will, but Yours be done

I am a chosen one.

A what?

You're too much!

I set my face to Jerusalem 3Xs

Not my will, but Yours be done

I am a chosen one.

Livin' in 'da matrix

Lookin' to the sages

Down through the ages

For 'da key

To set me free

From the mazes

Of 'dis matrix

But the sages

Didn't have the paper

To pay my wages

So, I kept work in' it out in stages.

Then one day

I came across The Way

His name is Jesus

The Chief of all 'da sages

He opened my eyes to SEE

He alone was the key

To set me free

So, I sat at His feet

And He showed me

The matrix INSIDE of me

The battle of my mind

Was the worst of it's kind

A solution I couldn't find

Till Jesus

The Chief of the sages

Unraveled all the mazes

Only, He did it in stages

Called the apostolic process

And He said, "Watch this!"

Suddenly, I saw a vision

Of His mission

He was down on His knees

As He started to weep

Sweat like blood dropped from His face

The vision I saw could never be erased

He cried...

"I set my face to Jerusalem" 3 Xs

Not my will, but Yours be done

I AM The Chosen One."

Suddenly, the vision shifted

And I was lifted

To a hill called Calvary

Where the matrix started unraveling

I saw Jesus

The Chief of the sages

Nailed to a cross

Where He died for all those lost

In the matrix

The famous and the faceless

It was then

When

I saw the matrix inside of me

Nailed with Him on that tree

I dropped to my knees

And cried,

"It should have been I crucified!"

Then Jesus

The Chief of the sages

Replied

"When I died

And they pierced my side

You and the matrix died

With Me

On that tree

When I stretched my arms wide

It was for you to become my bride

Suddenly, the vision shifted

And I was lifted

To stand before an empty tomb

Where beautiful flowers were in bloom

I saw Jesus

The Chief of the sages

Resurrect to new Life

And He said, "I'm looking for my wife."

I dropped to my knees

And cried, "Choose me, please!"

He lifted me up

And placed a cup

In my hand

Called Surrender

And took away my badge called Pretender

You see, just as I died with Him

I now live in Him

Fully resurrected

Fully accepted

Set FREE from the matrix

By the Chief of the sages

Then He caused me

Little 'of me

To join the sages

Assigned to destroy the matrix

I asked, "How can this be done?"

He said, "Cause you're a chosen one

Called to the apostolic process

So, watch this!"

I saw footprints in the sand

Created by the Son of Man

He said," Follow My steps

That I left in the Earth

And display to the world your new birth.

I paid your wages

Now walk by faith through apostolic stages

Separation, Preparation

Revelation, Reformation

You're called to minister reconciliation

Throughout the nations

So, send I you

To keep Heaven into view

On Earth as it is in Heaven

Destroy every matrix leaven

You are a key

To others' victory

You are a key

To unlock apostolic destiny

You are a key

To destroy the matrix

You stand amongst the sages

So, come sing with me

This song of victory

I set my face to Jerusalem 3 Xs

Not my will but yours be done

I am a chosen one.

I realize, the surprise of Your love

Has no disguise.

When I look into Your eyes,

I realize, You’re the Lover of My Soul,

And You alone make me whole.

Jesus, You’re the Lover of My Soul!

Lookin' in the Mirror

Lookin’ in the Mirror

Lookin’ in the mirror

Lookin’ for a hero

Feeling like ya ain’t nothin but a zero

Ya, it’s like dat

Ain’t nobody really got your back

Everyone knows da cards have always been stacked

Stacked against ya’

You’re either in denial or ya’ got dementia
Lies!  Go back to whoever sent ya’!
Negative thoughts constantly on rewind
Cause they want to remind -
You
Of stuff that was never even true
Ya, it's like dat
Me tellin' ya da' truth, cause C. Love got yo' back.

It’s time to break the mirror

It’s time to find a new hero

Forgiveness eliminates your debt down to zero!

Yeshua is the name

Of the One who came

To proclaim

The fame

Of a Heavenly Father

Who adopts unlimited numbers of sons and daughters

Lookin in the mirror

Seein through the eyes of your Hero

No longer feelin like a zero

Fear and doubt have dropped like flies

Along with their swarm of lies

And your new vision is a beautiful surprise.

So look in the mirror

And become more like your Hero

He’ll reduce your debt down to zero

As you draw ever nearer to the cross of Yeshua

Don’t let Him hafta say He never knew ya’

He’s tryin to get His Word to ya’

So, that He can blow His Word through ya’!

So, it’s time to tell the devil and your flesh, “Boo ya’!”

“I’m a new creation.  So, technically the new me never even knew ya’!”

Ya, it's like dat
Me tellin' ya da' truth, cause C. Love got yo' back.

The Measure of a Life

The Measure of a Life

Oh Lord, as I seek your face
I am undone by the magnitude of your grace 
And my praise
Is raised
To a new height
By Your Spirit, not by might.
Yes!  By your grace,
I am catapulted to a new place
In the Spirit realm
And I overwhelmed.
As I seek your face
I am undone by the magnitude of your grace 

“He who is forgiven much

Loves much”

I’m not talkin’ ‘bout usin’ grace as a crutch

Got a lot of ‘dat goin’ on,

But dat’s not the soapbox I’m on

I’m talkin’ ‘bout redemption

That reaches further than “honorable mention”

Spiritual ribbons, trophies, accolades

Or even the lucky ace of spades

I’m talkin’ ‘bout a true testimony

Not just a script dat’s phony

Like, “I thank God I’m saved, sanctified…”

Cause the truth gets ya’ so tongue tied

“And filled with the Holy Ghost”

Knowin’ your full of da’ host

Of hell

But da’ religious folk can’t even tell

To them, all is well.

As long as ya’ keep up your outward appearance,

There’s no interference

With your spiritual façade

And the only ones NOT fooled are you and God.

Has anyone BUT me ever been so UNsaved

That ya’ knew ya’ were no more than a slave

Such a slave to stinkin’ thinkin’

That ya’ just keep sinkin’

Lower and lower into your own self-dug pit

And not even your religious wit

Can get ya’ out

Does anybody KNOW what I’m talkin’ ‘bout?

I’m talkin’ ‘bout a one-sided rescue

When God decides to bless you

IN SPITE OF, not because of you,

Cause you had no clue WHAT to do 

And just in that moment of utter despair

God reached down with tender loving care

I tell ya’ grace just isn’t fair

Yet, I wouldn’t DARE

Complain,

Cause my life will never be the same

No, I may never rise to greatness in men’s eyes,

Yet, I’ll never again believe the devil’s lies

Cause I’ve been kissed by mercy and grace

And I’ve entered a journey of seeking God’s face

You see,

There’s no greater reality

And no greater bliss

Than knowing this:

“He who is forgiven much

Loves much”

For the measure of a life

Is found in life’s greatest strife,

Which is the battle of surrender

To the Great Heart Mender

To be overwhelmed by God’s grace

And to longingly behold His face

We can’t afford to mis-

Construe this

The measure of a life is this:

To love much,

‘Cause we’ve been forgiven much.

Oh Lord, as I seek your face
I am undone by the magnitude of your grace 
And my praise
Is raised
To a new height
By Your Spirit, not by might.
Yes!  By your grace,
I am catapulted to a new place
In the Spirit realm
And I overwhelmed.
As I seek your face
I am undone by the magnitude of your grace

Was It a Dream?

Completed Sunday Sept. 23, 2012 2:08 A.M. upon awaking from a dream...

And submitted to Ariana's prayer page where several left curses and slurs toward God and others left behind to grieve... I tell you this is the Word of the Lord, because I knew NOT how to respond! Glory be to God Who is Wisdom for the foolish and Light for the darkness...

Was it a dream...
Or a continuance of my mind's wrestling
With the facebook comments left
Regarding Ariana's life... death...
And anger spilled out...
Disagreements of those left behind
To wrestle with the pain... the loss...
Whether to hold onto memories
Or contemplate religion... prayer...
Who really cared..
Who really knew her...
Who really shared...
In her life... death... memory
At all?
She took the fall
Who was to blame?
Who will remain the same?
The guilt and the shame
The deaf, blind and lame
Could prayer, faith, hope and love
Remain in the shadow
Of such tragedy...
A daughter's death
Trailing behind the death
Of her father
Leaving behind a grieving widow and mother
Could the face of a Loving God
A Heavenly Father
Be found in such mess
In the midst of such stress?
And Salvation much less?
Oh see how we regress...
As a Loving Savior
Stands at our hearts' door
KNOCKING!
His Eternal Arms
Rocking us,
He cries, "AWAKE!"
Your life is not a mistake!
Your soul I desire to take and remake
Out of the darkness of obscurity
Into the light of My purity.
Hear my cry
For your soul
That you may know...
Forgiveness awaits you
Religion is false
But I AM True
If you are willing,
I will make you
brand new...

Our Father which art in Heaven,
Hollowed be Thy Name
Thy Kingdom come
Thy will be done
On Earth as it is in Heaven
Give us this day
Our daily Bread
Forgive us our tresspasses
As we forgive those who trespass against us
Lead us NOT into temptation
But deliver us from evil.
For thine is the Kingdom,
The power and the glory
FOREVER. Amen.

This is not just a religious pun...
This is the prayer of The Son!
If only we believe and receive HIM,
He will truly wash away all of our sin!
So that even in death
We will win,
Because we'll be found IN HIM!

Respectfully and Lovingly submitted by C. Love
Aunt and Sister of those who have passed on into Eternity

Yes! I am Overwhelmed and Undone (Part 2)

“Yes!  I am Overwhelmed and Undone!”

Part 2

Philippians 1:6 “Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:”  (KJV)

Philippians 1:6 "And I am convinced and sure of this very thing, that He Who began a good work in you will continue until the day of Jesus Christ [right up to the time of His return], developing [that good work] and perfecting and bringing it to full completion in you."  (AMP)

 

            During the past two weeks, God used two seemingly meaningless events to overwhelm me to the point of being undone once again.  (I think I’m becoming addicted to being undone by the LORD!)  Thus, the title of this post is “Yes!  I am Overwhelmed and Undone!  Part 2.”  The first event was when I watched the movie, “To Save a Life.”  I found myself weeping and weeping uncontrollably both throughout the movie and even after the movie was complete.  Though the movie was DONE, God was yet working that I would be UNDONE. 

            Although I do get teary eyed sometimes when watching touching movies, as I connect with the characters within the story, very few movies touch and move me in this way.  I could not help but see myself in the character who committed suicide.  The Holy Spirit allowed me to return to the pain of my past, and to be touch and broken once more by that excruciating pain that caused me to cry to die.  At the time, I perceived the fear of following through with the act of suicide and fear of hell to which I knew would be my destination to be what held me back, but now I know that this fear was only a tool of God’s GRACE!  You see, God HAS NOT given us a spirit of fear.  Yet, HE will use even FEAR for His purpose, honor, and glory!  …  AND…  OH HOW I THANK GOD THAT HE DID!
      
            How did I get from that place, which I can hardly remember without God’s grace taking me back in time, to the place I am today?  For I am not that person anymore.  I have been completely transformed to the point that truly, I am a new creature, and old things have passes away.  Behold all things have become new, including and especially me!

            Before we address this key essential issue, let me first share the second event that overwhelmed me to the point of being undone.  One morning I checked my e-mail to find that my best friend from high school, whom I have not had contact with  for almost twenty years, found me, and sent me a message on face book.  Immediately, the Holy Spirit took me back in time to that period once again, which was one of the darkest times of my life.  Suddenly, I saw the MAGINITUDE of where God has brought me from in a new way, as I have never seen before.  I literally wept, praised, and worshipped God for hours.  Let me explain.  This was NOT a sorrowful weeping.  This was a weeping of such GRATITUDE and THANKSGIVING to God for the work of SALVATION, HEALING, and DELIVERANCE that He has accomplished in my life.  I wasn’t able to even respond to my friend’s message, because I was so OVERWHELMED and UNDONE. 

           This encounter with God humbled me with gratitude and recognition of my “NOTHINGNESS” in Light of God’s GRACE and MERCY, as I have never experienced before in my life.  I came to the REVELATORY REALIZATION that I have DONE NOTHING, but to have been a RECIPIENT of God’s LOVE, MERCY, GRACE, and SALVATION.  There are so many Truths that I have known in my head for YEARS, that God is now transferring to my HEART through DIVINE REVELATION! 

          God is saying, “Now is the time for all those who DILIGENTLY SEEK HIM, to receive an outpouring of DIVINE REVELATION.”  YES!  Even as He spoke to me concerning this year, “THERE’S AN OPEN HEAVEN IN 2011!”  Now is the time for the TRUTH of GOD to move from our heads into our HEARTS by DIVINE REVELATION!  One of the GREATEST TRUTHS of SCRIPTURE is the GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST!  It is time for the TRUTH of John 3:16 to penetrate our hearts, as never before bringing about a NEW REBIRTH, and COMPLETE TRANSFORMATION in the BODY of CHRIST!   

          I went to intercessory prayer that evening so weak and limp from the intimate time I had spent that day with the Lord in this newfound broken and humbled state.  I truly wondered how I was going to function or pray that evening with the prayer gathering.  How was I ever going to minister, when I was just limp and broken?  I trusted myself to the Lord, asking Him to have His Way.  The Word that God had given me to share that evening was REVIVAL, as HE had ministered this Truth to me through the acrostic poem.  I shared what God had been doing in me that day.  We worshipped the Lord, as the Holy Spirit led.  Then we went into prayer and intercession again.  When I thought I had been broken and undone to the limit, God broke me again, crying out through uncontrollable weeping unto Him.  The Holy Spirit revealed to me that He was DEMONSTRATING REVIVAL through me, just as He had revealed it to me in and through the acrostic poem.

        The Holy Spirit took full control and prophesied through me with much weeping and anguish concerning the state of our nation, and particularly His Body within this nation.  The Holy Spirit spoke for a LONG TIME concerning what He is about to do in this nation.  When the praying ceased I thought to myself, that I wished I had taped what He was saying, but the Holy Spirit said, No, what He spoke was just for there at this time, but He WILL speak again in due time. 

       One again, I was left weak and limp.  I had brought my trumpet to worship the Lord, but felt as though I was too weak to minister to Him in song.  Yet, by the leading of the Holy Spirit I did worship through the song of thanksgiving, “Give Thanks”, that He had given me for that day.  Although the prayer had run later than usual, due to the moving of the Holy Spirit, He put it within one of the intercessor’s spirit for us to walk around the property and pray, as well.  Within days, God moved answering our prayers concerning some specific issues, according to His revealed will to us!  Oh how I give glory, honor and praise to the Godhead for great and mighty things that He has done!  He is yet moving in the Earth!  He is still GOD, and HE is sitting upon the throne, reigning in the hearts and lives of men! 

       How did I get from that place, which I can hardly remember without God’s grace in taking me back in time, to the place I am today?  For I am not that person anymore.  I have been completely transformed to the point that truly, I am a new creature, and old things have passes away.  Behold all things have become new, including and especially me!

IT WAS NOTHING LESS AND NOTHING MORE THAN THE GRACE AND MERCY OF GOD, MY SAVIOR WORKING THE GREATEST MIRACLE OF ALL IN MY LIFE – THE MIRACLE OF SALVATION – THE REBIRTH OF MY LOST, BROKEN, AND DESTITUTE SOUL!  FOR, I CONTINUE TO REALIZE THAT YES, I HAVE BEEN SAVED, I AM BEING SAVED, AND I WILL BE SAVED!  FOR SALVATION IS A WONDERFUL PROCESS AND WORK OF GOD ALONE TO BE COMPLETED WHEN I MEET MY LORD AND SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST, FACE TO FACE AND FALL AT HIS FEET COMPLETELY OVERWHELMED AND UNDONE!

May the peace of God continually reign in our hearts and lives!  May we completely submit and surrender to the Lordship of Jesus Christ and to His work of True Salvation in our lives!  May His Kingdom come and His will be done on Earth even as it is in Heaven!  In Jesus’ name.  Amen.
