The good shepherd will leave the ninety and nine behind and go after the one...that is lost.

Waiting for Release

Where once we lived and breathed in sight
and walked with staff and rod
We now corrupt do lay about
and curse the thought of God

We say that we're not made of dust
but come from acids formed in sea
We say that random incidents
created what is you and me

No other sphere has temperament
No other earth has proved to be
sustaining life in all its forms
Held in bounds of gravity

No other sky is seen so blue
No other pasture ere so green
No other winds did blow so true
No other world has ever seen

The rise and fall of man's own kind
for generations blood and toil
So cursed to not be by His side
and forced to work the very soil

The countless wars and famine sent
to make the noble humbled still
With dust on forehead, fabric rent
the suffering to break our will

But man has ever worshiped gods
whose very hands created
Denying His authority
in thirst and never sated

And yet a remnant still remains
since we were given holy law
To know what sin and error be,
correcting what had been our flaws

And so you may believe that we
are simply random acts of chance
With no divine authority
to ever give a backwards glance

With breath and life you contemplate
the worth of those yet forming
Without pretension demonstrate
and speak of global warming

To think that you could somehow change
the universe you're riding
As if it were a mere construct
of something man's designing

Arrogance is yet unchained
and so we suffer still
The blood still runs from Calvary
to cover those who's will...

Bow in all humility
to know that they aren't God
And worship He who's very path
we are not fit to trod

That remnant will for ere' remain
as we teach our seed
And will forever look to sky
for His return with speed

Do you answer to the Truth?

There is no greater twentieth century disciple than Oswald Chambers. I don't usually place other people's work on this site, but if you don't daily read Oswald, then you should by all means make it a habit. He is second only to Paul in the rightly discerning of the Gospel of the Christ.

Read and enjoy:

Oswald Chambers:

When God gives a vision by His Spirit through His word of what He wants, and your mind and soul thrill to it, if you do not walk in the light of that vision, you will sink into servitude to a point of view which Our Lord never had. Disobedience in mind to the heavenly vision will make you a slave to points of view that are alien to Jesus Christ. Do not look at someone else and say - Well, if he can have those views and prosper, why cannot I? You have to walk in the light of the vision that has been given to you and not compare yourself with others or judge them, that is between them and God. When you find that a point of view in which you have been delighting clashes with the heavenly vision and you debate, certain things will begin to develop in you - a sense of property and a sense of personal right, things of which Jesus Christ made nothing. He was always against these things as being the root of everything alien to Himself. "A man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things that he possesseth." If we do not recognize this, it is because we are ignoring the undercurrent of Our Lord's teaching.

We are apt to lie back and bask in the memory of the wonderful experience we have had. If there is one standard in the New Testament revealed by the light of God and you do not come up to it, and do not feel inclined to come up to it, that is the beginning of backsliding, because it means your conscience does not answer to the truth. You can never be the same after the unveiling of a truth. That moment marks you for going on as a more true disciple of Jesus Christ or for going back as a deserter.

What Child is this?

I do not know, what Child is this?
Who introduced in humblest way
Born to die, betrayed with kiss
King of kings, the angels say.

Spirit turned to flesh and bone,
Heaven's Kingdom come to earth.
Left behind immortal throne
So His Spirit, could in us birth.

I do not know how to receive
His Words so new, that contradict.
All that I had once believed
His Truth, my will, they both conflict.

When learning of this Man of Words
When reading all His earthly Deeds.
They say it happened long ago
But still the World upon it feeds.

I do not know what Child is this
Who brings salvation to the ones...
That leave themselves behind and reach
For the saint they could become.

I do not know what day was born
In that town, the House of Bread.
Praise God above in Him I live
The man I was, forever dead.

We do not know what day or week
He came through humble virgin birth
We only know He praised the meek
Who will inherit all the earth.

Because I know this little boy,
Who changed the world in Galilee.
With hands to heaven raised in joy
I thank God He's born in me!

Baruch Hashem!

That child's in me.

And so my wish for you this day
Is for this child who changed the world
To reach inside your heart and stay
His banner raised, your flag unfurled.

With Love,

Micha El

The Eschaton Cometh, Or Has It Already Arrived?

Everyone is seemingly depressed over the results of the recent election however, not everyone has a reason to be depressed. One only has to remember that things must get worse before they get better if they are believers in biblical truth and revelation.

Believers will have to be like Nehemiah and build the walls of protection for their families and communities while fighting off the attacks that will come to undermine their very existence.

What does a person do when in reality we know that we will eventually lose the war but win the victory? What is one to do when you know that as hard as you fight you will not defeat the forces that are aligned against you?

Fight you may and fight you must. It is your sacred duty to your King and Savior to lift the banner high and know that our kingdom will come down and we will reign with Him and no election will undermine our eventual eternity with our Creator.

Things will get worse, there will be much hardship ahead and we know that the great majority will be blinded either by their own willful ignorance or by God Himself.

Fight, love, show compassion, be patient and know that Yeshua is returning. The election is over, we were elected into His kingdom to rule with the Chosen.

That is the only election we need be concerned with.

May God bless you all and may we all rule and reign with our Lord and Savior on that blessed day. Look to the east as He returns when you least expect it.

To and Fro

For Rosa and Carol, Two Giants of faith.

Can you see the Spirit move?
Can you know the mind?
Can you understand Creation
As created by Divine?

Have you seen the earth itself
Split and break apart?
Spitting molten substance
from it’s constant broken heart.

The rocks cry out, the rivers roar
The thunder mocks the man.
Who vainly tries to circumvent
The Makers perfect plan.

It wasn’t Him who forced us out
Of perfect Eden’s place.
Cherubim still cry out loud
That wish to see our face.

It wasn’t Him who raised the depths
To bring an end to sin
The cries throughout the judgment
Did rise in guilty din

It wasn’t Him who crucified
Or pierced beloved’s arms
Stabbing thrust into His side
To issue final harm

Can you see the Spirit move
To and fro the earth
Seeking for to find the heart
That still as was at birth

Find the heart that still remains
Or has been circumcised
Understanding providence
Is Heaven’s greatest prize

Let us see Your Spirit move
And wash us head to toe
Let us know Your with us
When Your presence we don’t know

Let us bolstered by Your love
Standing still behold
Our names into the book of life
Be written strong and bold

Amen, may it be always so
Amen, may it be done
Amen may You find comfort
As we struggle to be one

Tears Fall Down

My prayer for today:

A tear falls unto the clay,
its moisture seeps below
To hidden roots of unknown works
The Saint will never know

It stretches out beneath our view
We call a tender shoot
Which soon supports a tender thought
Then turns to firmer root.

It soon bears weight and pushes forth
Exploding from the earth
So long was it in dormancy
It seems a sudden birth

The slender plant begins to rise
And shade comes neath its leaves
Eventually it bears much fruit
Sustaining those who cleave

The storms will batter to and fro
And shake the now firm tree
Taking with it sorrow
Making room for glee

For winds, and torment, gales galore
Remove the weaker limbs
Till all that’s left is ancient
As if it’s always been

But cycles are Creator made
To show us so to teach
Each new generation
How to weather and to preach

And so the endless tears must fall
To feed the unseen force
That we all place in faith’s firm grip
And believe with no remorse

And so I offer all my tears
To sow as You see fit.
Take my current suffering
And make a robe of it

Let me wear that garment
When in Your presence I
Leave this world of sorrow
And kneel down by Your side.

Tell me all my tears were shed
So one day I will see
The wounds You took to save me
So I’d be more than me.

Cradle me into Your arms
Oh gentle loving God
And clothe me in the Garments
You made when here You trod

A tear falls down unto the clay
Abba,

Hear our prayers today.

Micha El
Bondservant, of Yeshua Ha Messiach

Amen and Amen and Amen

Dear Father,

Throughout the ages You have revealed Yourself through Your Word and Your actions.

The nations, the goyim of the earth trembled when Your people moved out of their affliction of the Pharaohs.

The river ran backwards to let Your people cross on dry ground.

The walls fell down when Your people shouted at their obstacle.

The kings were delivered into Your people's hands one by one.

The Tribes were established each to his own inheritance.

The Kings and Judges and Prophets proclaimed Your law, Your covenants and Your Mercy.

Your Son's sacrifice covered our sin for eternal 'Passover'

Your Love lights the midnight sky

Your creation still moves shaken by tremors, molten lava flowing through its veins.

The rocks cry out that You alone are Lord God, Father, Son and Holy Ghost.

In all of this that we know, how much do we not know our Creator?

As clay speaks to the potters hand, I ask of You, O Holy Father

With a yearning too deep to describe I ask of you...

Heal Pastor David.

Protect Jenny and his children.


Creation I know, the Prophets I know, the Apostles I know, Paul I know, and Jesus I know, and YOU I know.

Father, please do this thing.

On this rock, we have built it, on this rock may you heal it.

In brotherhood with all the Disciples and the Saints that have come before us I pray.

Micha-el

The Tides Move Up and Down

Father,

Who are You that the moon revolves, the sun shines and the celestial bodies praise Your name?
Who are You that the winds move to and fro the oceans raise their tides to shout Your glory?
Who are You to send Your only begotten Son to save us from ourselves by His sacrifice?
Who are You to cover us in Your love and immeasurable grace?
Who are You that love poured over us from Your fount before we were born?
Father please meet our needs both physically, mentally, spiritually and financially.
Father, it is but a breeze for You to move mountains.
A shake for continents to shift.
A thought for mountains to rise above the plains.
Please bring deliverance to our financial crisis and may your seed never beg bread.
It is Your word that we rely on. It is Your faith that girds us.
It is Your love that we rest on, Your hope that sustains us.

We ask this in the name above all names, Yeshua ha Messiach, Jesus the Christ.

Amen.
