Here Lies Power





You've heard of Cain.
A way filled with pain.



Perhaps you remember too Balaam?
His error was of greed, have we also his shame?



Perhaps you've forgotten Core.
Why must so many sheep be slaughtered? Should not we pray a hedge around our hearts door?



Prideful ways, eyes full of pride.
Greatly is the divide.



Yet, still there is "One" who remains.
Knowing our faults knowing our weakness yet still for us "He" came.



Wandering in error many fall into a devil's snare.
Trusting a doctrine of evil, a doctrine of works, a doctrine of self indulgence care.



So many lost-
So many have forgotten the cost-



We say we believe.
Yet we carry the truth on our sleeve.



A fire within, dipping into known sin, soon burns so bright to reveal truly who truly are "His"-
My dearest friend know that no sin is fully covered lest the blood is "born again", saved but once, chastisement yields the full fruit of righteousness, why must a testimony be set at risk?



Knowing full well what is right, neglecting our first love.
How far must we dance across a line, before descends the hand that sent the "white dove"?



Seeing that others do wrong, seeing the evil called right, we cry "How long must we wait"?
Waiting because we know our final fate-



Yet, some of us discouraged, we linger too long, we watch too long, we stay too long...
Forgetting to whom we belong.



Taking on the appearance of evil, many have fallen into the devil's well laid trap.
Soon the devils rejoice as a " true child" is given a bad rap...



Yet, "the dance" it is for yet a little while.
For even as the devils rejoice assuming a victory, God begins to smile.



Yet but a little while and wrong will be made right.
Evil will be forever placed in a furnace forever revealing the works of the night.



Pray without ceasing. As the war it is for the souls of many.



Pray without ceasing, pray for mercy, pray for the one who is weak, lift in prayer lest many should stumble into a trap. Soon to be sheep skin for raging wolves.



Did you not know my dearest friend; there would be no gain, had the sheep not strayed too near the fire?



  Stay close to the "One" in whom you've trusted, believe yet on the "One" who died.
Pray without ceasing that the Father's will be revealed, pray for many hearts have cried.



Pleading for you, praying for your soul, praying for your testimony-
Knowing full well the "one" who is stalking, warring to defeat the "One" who paid for your "eternity"-



Hold tight to what you know is true, for this small trial of our faith it is for "His" glory.
Hold tight to the "One" who died for you and for me.



Soon and very soon, a trumpet yet will sound.
Many will arise from the cold still ground.



Time is short.
Be ever watching knowing from "whom," comes the evil report.



Past is past, done is done, complete is complete, forever is settled our debt.
Many yet have for the "lost" never once wept.



Pray and see a game it is not.
Ever will many we see fall into the "broad and wide way" that leads to an eternity of rot.



Pray for those who are unsteady, pray for those who are weakened from many blows.
Pray for the time it is short, for this reason the "raging lion" roars, threatening fast and hard those he "knows" follow not the "broad and wide road" that leads to only to a horrid rue, as all will soon know.



Life and death it is held within the "tongue" yet we oft open wide the gate, revealing our weakness to the one who opposes our very soul.
Patience and endurance, pray we must, for oft others carry a heavy load, take hold my friend know for whom you must "toil".



Pray in private, knowing soon God will reveal the vanity of many who chose many flattering engagements. Forgetting yet once again it is in humility we must pray, knowing it is we who may bear the greater sin.
Pray and trust for this time the "engagement" it is not ours alone, it is "His" we must stand aside and wait, knowing this time, the wage it is not for a few. Today, is the day, many may enter in.



Fall not, know that "seven thousand" never bowed the knee, faint not, and know who hold's you in the "palm" of His open hand".
Listen, watch and pray for soon we will have entered in to the long "Promised Land".



Saints are conquered only when divided they forget the time it is but a little while.
Open eyes wide, for we've reached the "last time" it is the final time, the day it is short, stand still and know we'll soon cross the final mile.



Pray without ceasing know-
Remember "the call" it is "Go"-



Have you permission to stay?
Have you forgotten to pray?



Stand still for our debt it is paid.
Soon, we'll receive our wage, do not forget in a "borrowed grave" "He" was laid.



Yet, today, an advocate we have. A faithful and true friend-
Paying for us the debt from beginning to end-



Revival it begins not with the "lost".
Neither does judgment begin with those who know not the true "cost"...



Today it is time to remember this world it is only a temporary stop.
We've a much longer road to travel, look and see do you not see "the white crop"...



The "fields are white unto harvest", yet why do we walk along the side forgetting those amongst the tares?
"Bear ye one another's burdens..." for soon we all must show our "fare"...



Pray for some are drifting away.
Pray for some who have strayed from the "narrow way".



Right is right, wrong is wrong. Truth it will stand.
Never forget "Who" it was who "paid" with blood, the price that all who so chose may enter the "Promise Land"...



Pray for each other, for the "Lion" it is raging.
Fast and pray, knowing where true help cometh. Carry many sheaves as you run knowing the bell it will soon ring.
