WHO AM I? 2008-04-09 11:55:10 Who am I, I hear you ask
Peering from my vacuum flask
Snug and safe from all intrusion
No ingression, no confusion
Allow you near to know my name
Light specifics is my game
Try to rummage, I invert
Raise my shield to stop the hurt.
Fear and envy [...]
DRAINED 2008-04-08 10:46:04 Now is the time to face the fact
What I am has had it’s day
And as I speak about my past
The strength I own all drains away
For I am built of imperfection
Construction of a self made life
Creation marred by infiltration
I am full of pain and strife.
Now [...]
ENDORSE 2008-04-07 22:24:44 You have provided everything
I need to be Your child
And if I start to use it
We can be reconciled
To be in You, to walk in You
Is what I have to do
To gain the peace You have for me
I know that much is true.
So help me give up everything
That You have not ordained
The constant chase for worthless [...]
PLUMMET 2008-04-06 22:24:13 A whisper comes into your brain
Planted as a septic grain
Radiating waves of doubt
Thoughts you can do nowt about
Worthiness goes down the pan
Condemnation paints a tan
Down into the mire you go
Goodbye Jesus, cheerio.
As you sink into despair
No one loves you, no one cares
All these lies are buried deep
By the past that loves to weep
Blame and allegations [...]
TRUST 2008-04-06 08:08:53 Do you trust a hand unseen
Delving where the world has been
Taking hold of your supports
All your crutches, masks and forts
Sorting out the bitterness
Various secrets to confess
Life that you have come to know
Disinfected by the flow
Of living water, washing deep
Into the depths where devils creep
Wanting you [...]
THE BRICK 2008-04-10 22:33:42 A young and successful executive was traveling down a neighborhood street, going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar. He was watching for kids darting out from between parked cars and slowed down
when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no children appeared . Instead, a brick smashed into the Jag’s side [...]
THINKING BACK 2008-04-10 22:31:51 Thinking back to days gone past
I wonder how I coped
It wasn’t how it should have been
Not nearly what I’d hoped
The template was defective
Not blaming anyone
For they were raised in stricken times
They passed them to their son.
Everyone is similar
Their childhood formed their lives
Some were lucky, some were not
But what was then arrives
To drive our thoughts and [...]
TEMPTATION 2008-04-13 07:35:51 By Andrew Wommack
Everyone faces temptation. But the truth is, very few people deal with it effectively. That shouldn’t be the case, and it doesn’t have to be the case for believers. There are some very simple and effective ways of dealing with temptation that you should know, and if you’ll put them into practice, I [...]
REMEMBER 2008-04-14 10:38:38 The next time you feel like GOD can’t use you, just remember…
Noah was a drunk
Abraham was too old
Isaac was a daydreamer
Jacob was a liar
Leah was ugly
Joseph was abused
Moses had a stuttering problem
Gideon was afraid
Samson had long hair and was a womanizer
Jeremiah and Timothy were too young
David had an affair and was a murderer
Elijah was suicidal
Isaiah [...]
I YIELD 2008-04-13 22:25:15 I stand before You as I am
Devoid of all resistance
Prepared to yield myself to You
And give up my insistence
That I will follow You, oh Lord
With clauses made by me
To give You first place in my life
Is how it’s going to be.
Cause You know best, I know that now
You did create my being
And gave me loads [...]
IDENTITY 2008-04-15 22:33:59 What is my identity
Who am I supposed to be
Does my life reflect the part
That Jesus plays inside my heart
Am I glowing with His health
Moving only in His stealth
Maybe I am still myself
Safe inside my worldly wealth.
It is time to face the fact
My life is just a clever act
In my head I’ve got it sussed
Make an [...]
DADDY’S EMPTY CHAIR 2008-04-17 10:47:27 A man’s daughter had asked the local minister to come and pray with her father. When the minister arrived, he found the man lying in bed with his head propped up on two pillows.
An empty chair sat beside his bed.
The minister assumed that the old fellow had been informed of his visit.
“I guess you were [...]
DEVOTION 2008-04-17 22:54:56 It’s been a journey, full of change
You had Your work cut out
Accepting me, just how I was
A sinner full of doubt
But slowly You have done the job
Of stripping down the mask
Today I stand upon the rock
You have fulfilled Your task
Of changing me into the child
That You made me to be
Devoted to Your guiding hand
Which saved [...]
THE COLLECTION PLATE 2008-04-17 22:53:46 This will touch your heart.
Here is a true story about a nine year old boy who lived in a rural town in Tennessee.
His house was in a poor area of the community. A church had a bus ministry that came knocking on his door one afternoon. The kid came to answer the door and greeted [...]
The Devil Left His Bags 2008-04-20 07:29:25 You put the devil out, but you let him leave his bags.
Never quite looked at it like this before...
You got out of a bad relationship because it was bad,
but you are still resentful and angry.
You let the devil leave his bags.
You got out of financial debt, but you still can't control
the desire to spend on [...] Read more:Devil
WANDER 2008-04-20 03:21:17 My mind prefers to wander
To somewhere else instead
When things become too tricky
I take off in my head
To safer climes and places
Where everything is great
The problems seem to disappear
There’s nothing on my plate.
Sadly,I can’t stay there
Reality has returned
I’m back to where I was before
But one thing I have learned
Escape is only temporal
He wants me to be [...]
THINKING BACK 2008-04-21 14:14:02 Thinking back to days gone past
I wonder how I coped
It wasn’t how it should have been
Not nearly what I’d hoped
The template was defective
Not blaming anyone
For they were raised in stricken times
They passed them to their son.

Some were [...]
HARNESSING YOUR EMOTIONS 2008-04-23 10:05:49 By Andrew Wommack
The Bible teaches us that our thoughts are the determining factor which controls our actions. Proverbs 23:7 says, “For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he.” Romans 8:6 says, “For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.” Notice that carnal mindedness doesn’t just [...]
No title 2008-04-22 22:30:58 I am what I am, I am agreed
A prefab full of bits
Not necessarily in the right order
An airfix kind of kit
The Lord has been refining
And strained the toxins out
And I am now what I should be
I’m finally facing out.
Why should I be like other folk
I am unique, you see
And I am of a separate yolk
How [...]
THE WOODEN BOWL 2008-04-22 08:41:52 I guarantee you will remember the tale of the Wooden Bowl tomorrow, a week from now, a month from now, a year from now.
A frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and four-year old grandson. The old man’s hands trembled, his eyesight was blurred, and his step faltered. The family ate together [...]
HOW TO BE HAPPY 2008-04-26 04:36:28 By Andrew Wommack
Everyone longs for happiness, but few possess it. The pursuit of it is universal and timeless. Generations ago, the writers of the United States Declaration of Independence recognized that longing. In it they wrote that every man is endued by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, one of which is the pursuit of [...]
No title 2008-04-26 02:50:50 Peer out of your window
Upon the world outside
Surely there is someone near
In whom you can confide
A friend who will not judge you
When you dissolve in tears
As you release your burdened past
Of bitterness and fears.
Perhaps they will not like you
They’ll tut and turn away
Cause you are such an awful one
Your honesty will not pay
The devils lies [...]
FAITH IS 2008-04-25 08:43:47 Faith Is……reliance on the certainty that God has a pattern for my life when everything else seems meaningless
Faith Is……remembering I am God’s priceless treasure when I feel utterly useless
Faith Is……depending on the fact that God is love - not on my ability to figure out why, in the midst of smashed hopes, reversal and tragedy
Faith [...]
