God Is Raising Up Intercessory Peace Makers



Many speak of the call to become and serve as intercessory prayer warriors, which is good and necessary.  Yet, we are living in times of great division and war throughout the nations that require an army of intercessory peace makers to rise and stand in the gap.

For I hear the Spirit of Christ speaking these words to us.  "There is a great divide in this nation, and neither side is right.  It's not about choosing a side, but standing in the gap between the two sides and becoming an intercessory peace maker. Do not feel pressured to pick a side or have an opinion on every issue.  Just listen and be present in the conversation."

What does this mean for us individually and corporately?  It means that in the midst of turmoil, strife, debate, battles and war God speaks and His Word always releases GOOD NEWS.  It is time that we look through the lens of God's Love which is expressed most remarkably and powerfully through the Gospel, which literally means GOOD NEWS.  Every disciple of Christ is called to BEAR WITNESS to the GOOD NEWS of  Christ's Life, Death, Resurrection, Ascension and very PRESENCE not only seated on the throne of Heaven, but right HERE and NOW WITH us and IN us.  He is the Prince of Peace.  And though we know there is a future time when Christ will come and establish COMPLETE peace and restoration, we also know that He is PRESENT HERE and NOW to bring peace, as well.

So, where has God established you to stand and bear witness of His GOOD NEWS?  Wherever that may be, STAND, RECEIVE His mantle of PEACE, and SEE the Salvation of the Lord as you SERVE as His Intercessory Peace Maker.  For truly, God is raising up intercessory peace makers to stand in the gap between the numerous great divides within our communities and nation.  He is calling forth an ARMY of INTERCESSORY PEACE MAKERS that serve as BRIDGES of PEACE.  Will you answer His call?

My Liberating Truth - Song of Worship



I'm so in love with You
So in love with You
My liberating Truth
And I worship You
In the beauty of Your Holiness
I worship You
In the power of Your Majesty
I worship You
In the splendor of Your Glory
I exchange all that I am
For the Great I AM
For You are My Liberating Truth
And I am consumed by You

I relinquish all that I am
My desire and plan
I lay at Your feet 
Just to feel Your heart beat
I surrender all
On my face I fall
I relinquish all
For the treasure of Your Glory
For You are My Liberating Truth
And I am consumed by You

SPOKEN:
I'm so in love with You
I'm ONE with You
I'm undone in You
I'm a son in You
I'm whole in You
Spirit / souled in You
Flesh become Word
Your voice become heard
Christ become manifest
Striving become rest
Darkness become Light
Wrong become right
Blind become sight
Far become near
Brought up from the rear
Empty become satisfied
Lost become guide
All cause I abide
In Your Love
And perceive like the dove
Single focused on You
My One and only Truth
Having become fully new
With nothing left to do
But trust in You
Replacing every limit
And every gimmick
With Liberating Truth
The very essence of You
I'm so in love with You
I'm ONE with You
I'm undone in You
I'm a son in You
I'm whole in You
Spirit / souled in You.

I'm so in love with You
So in love with You
My liberating Truth
And I worship You
In the beauty of Your Holiness
I worship You
In the power of Your Majesty
I worship You
In the splendor of Your Glory
I exchange all that I am
For the Great I AM
For You are My Liberating Truth
And I am consumed by You

Habitation




What does God desire?
What does God require?
But true communion
And true union
Becoming ONE
In His Son
Who builds a HABITATION
Among the nations
A holy relation
With the God of creation
Lively stones
Built together as His home
He went away
He did say
To prepare a place
A set apart space
For us to dwell
So, He explained, "All is well."
But that was only half the story
It gets better, never boring!
He said, "I will build My qahal
As though Adam never did fall.
A place for Us (Elohim) to dwell
A living tabernacle and well
That never runs dry
And she doesn't even have to try
Cause We (Elohim) will fill her
And instill her
With Our very essence
And she will carry our presence."
That's the other half of the story
I told you it never gets boring
We need not wait
For some appointed day
Our time is now
It's time to live out loud
The vision of Heaven
The perpetual day called Seven
Enter His rest
Experience His best
And never less
Than HABITATION
As His set apart nation
Cause that's what God desires
And that's what God requires
True communion
And true union
Becoming ONE in the Son
Who builds a HABITATION
Among the nations
One lively stone upon another
Building up our sisters and brothers
Regardless of apparent differences
Tear down the fences
Let go defenses
It's time to build
It's time to be filled
With God's essence
And presence
As one holy HABITATION
And one holy nation
Built up to reveal glory
And proclaim redemption's story
Christ revealed IN a people
Christ manifested THROUGH a people
No more man made steeples
But a city built by Christ alone
And a people become God's home!

I AM the Word



"I AM the Word, and you are My message.
I AM the Teacher, and you are My lesson.
I AM the Word, and you are My letter.
I send you forth to break every fetter.
You are My principle setter.
I AM the King, and you wear My signet ring.
Through you, to the world My peace I bring.
I AM the Solution, and you are My revolution.
Though many perceive you as an intrusion.
I AM the Bridegroom, and you are My bride.
My intimate secrets to you I confide.
With you, I share My passion, and you put it into action.
I AM! Therefore, you are!
I flow through you, no holds barred.
I AM the Light, and you are My star.
I AM! Therefore, you are!"

Christ, the I AM

I AM Your Liberator

"I AM a Liberator
An Incubator
Of Freedom
Religion & Legalism
You don't need 'em
Only the constraints
Of covenanal Ahavah
The Law of Love
And mindset from above
Will smash the idols
And truly set My people free
To truly SEE as I SEE
Setting captives free...
Now dat's Me!
So, they can truly be
Who I made them
Sons and friends
Fellow liberators
To the ends
Of the Earth
Capitalizing on the worth
Of their new birth
I AM a Liberator
An Incubator
Of freedom
So many got Me all wrong
Singing all kinds of crazy songs
Calling My name
To their own shame
Cause if they truly knew Me
They'd SEE
I AM a Liberator
An Incubator
Of Freedom..."
Christ Your Liberator

The Ocean is Before You





 The Ocean is before you
And the Ocean adores you
But you stand ankle deep
Only wetting your feet

You desire Me to speak
You want Me to prophesy
A lie
Saying you tried
But you were denied
When I died
I was crucified
I stretched My arms wide
And I rose from the grave
So, you’d no longer be a slave
So, you could abide in Me
And you could reside in Me

The Ocean is before you
And the Ocean adores you
But you stand ankle deep
Only wetting your feet

I AM the Ocean
And I desire your devotion
But you’re caught up in emotion
I don’t bring magical potion
I give you My devotion
And declare to you I AM the Ocean

I AM standing before you
And I adore you
But you stand ankle deep
Only wetting your feet

You desire Me to speak
You want Me to prophesy
A lie
Saying you tried
But you were denied
When I died
I was crucified
I stretched My arms wide
And I rose from the grave
So, you’d no longer be a slave
So, you could abide in Me
And you could reside in Me

The Ocean is before you
And the Ocean adores you
But you stand ankle deep
Only wetting your feet

So, this is what I speak
And this is what I prophesy
I didn’t just try
I died
That you’d never be denied
I rose giving you a decision
To choose your vision
Now it’s up to you
Choose your point of view
Remain ankle deep
Waiting for Me to speak
Or take a giant leap
And immerse yourself in Me
It’s time to set yourself free
And stop waiting on Me.

I AM standing before you
And I adore you
Come out into the deep
Immerse your head to your feet

In Me, you will find all that you seek
When you immerse yourself in Me.

The Ocean is before you
And the Ocean adores you
But you stand ankle deep
Only wetting your feet

So, make your decision
And choose your vision
For the Ocean is before you.

Enough for Me



What am I breathing for?
What is my heart beating for?
What are my veins bleeding for?

I search high, and I search low
Cause I just wanna know

What am I breathing for?
What is my heart beating for?
What are my veins bleeding for?

Why am I not satisfied?
Though I know You stretched Your arms wide
And for me You died
Yet, I’m still not satisfied
Though I know You reside
In me
And set me free
For all eternity
I’m still not satisfied
Even though I know
I died with You
Was made alive with You
And reside in You
Even though I know You abide in Me
For all eternity
I’m still not satisfied
And still my soul cries…


What am I breathing for?
What is my heart beating for?
What are my veins bleeding for?

What is my soul still needing for?
When I know You are the Door
To Eternal Life
And I’m Your beloved wife
Yet, my soul still strives
To feel fully alive
Even as Your chosen Bride
For whom You died
And rose to take as Your beloved wife
I came forth from Your bleeding side
Yet, my soul still cries

What am I breathing for?
What is my heart beating for?
What are my veins bleeding for?

Stop!  Look!  And listen!
Don’t get the Gospel twisted
Did you think
That by faith you’d blink
And struggle would be no more
All because you walked through eternity’s Door?
If you never hungered
And never wondered
What you’re breathing for
What your heart’s beating for
What your veins are bleeding for
You’d never seek My face
So, I could fill your empty space
And make you My dwelling place
Let Me tell you what you need
Is to become a receiver of seed
By becoming fertile soil
And a vessel of precious oil
Not so that you can toil
And strive with all your might
But so that you can reside
In Me, your resting place
Beholding My glorious face
So that you can learn to be
Exactly what you see
As you behold Me
So that you can learn to trust
And rid yourself of the lust
To know and control
Even the hunger of your own soul

Let Me tell you
What you’re breathing for
What your heart’s beating for
What your veins are bleeding for
Your purpose is to become
Wholly one
As a mature son
To be My habitation
That every nation
May hasten their feet
To feel My heartbeat
Through you
So, just be you
Let your lungs keep breathing
Let your heart keep beating
And your veins keep bleeding
Cause in each moment of life
I’m perfecting your sight
And displaying more light
Through you
As you just be you
Behold, I make all things new
Grace is My mission
But flesh keeps wishing
To take My place
And that’s why there’s empty space
But grace will enable you
To see My face

For I AM what you’re breathing for
I AM what your heart’s beating for
And I AM what your veins are bleeding for
Look no more
But to Me, the Door
Of Eternal Life
And the Giver of sight
To the blind
And the final sign
That you’ve entered rest
And are fully blessed
With no need to strive
To be fully alive

Cause I AM what you’re breathing for
I AM what your heart’s beating for
And I AM what your veins are bleeding for

You need to awaken
And to hasten
To the understanding
That though life can be demanding
My grace is enough
No matter how tough
The struggle you face
My grace is the Way
To enter the third day
Called resurrection
So, make this confession

Lord, YOU ARE what I’m breathing for
YOU ARE what my heart’s beating for
And YOU ARE what my veins are bleeding for
Your grace is enough for me
I receive Your Love for me
And declare that I can see
Myself standing in Victory
Because YOU ARE enough for me!
Yes!  YOU are ENOUGH for me!
