You Are So Precious In Gods Sight
Do not give into the worlds stereotype of who they say you are to be
Because you’re not a certain color they tell you that you are unable to wear the many jewels God has given you
They try and tell you that you must marry a certain kind of man
You shall go to no man but to the man that God gives to you
You are so precious in Gods sight
Do not let the devil tell you otherwise
Get him under your feet
It is now time for you to go the way which I have ordered your steps to go…
We have all been down the path
to which death leads
The devil trying to plant seeds
in our minds feeding us lies
Telling us we can never be enough
That we will never be what God calls us to be
But don’t forget we have been set free
by our king, our Lord, our Savior, Jesus
The devil will try and tell you that you don’t have what it takes
But with God we can accomplish all things in His name
Don’t listen to the lies of the serpent
I beg of you to listen
I have been there,
I’ve felt the pain, I’ve been there each and every night
Wanting to just let go of life all together
But its not worth it
I promise you this
You will never truly understand your beauty that the Lord sees in you
until you let Him in and let Him love you
Let Him in, He loves you more than any man could ever love
It’s a pure and true kind of love
No lust, no condemnation, no bitter words, no hatred.
It is Gods love that ultimately sets you free.

I Feel Satan Creeping
I feel satan creeping, looking for his own reaping…of a harvest for himself
But it’s not his to take, cause you see his home is in a big lake
Of fire and brimestone, all alone
With those whom he has lied to, if they only knew that satan is a liar, murder, and stealer…he’s not that good of a dealer
Trying to get them to come to the dark side, and take a ride.. down to hell with him
I fight tooth and limb to stay afloat, in this war called life, yes there’s strife
But I’m not gonna let it get me down, Im standing strong on God’s word, havent you heard?
It’s the only thing that will save you, Yeshuas name, thas who.
No other name has the authority to cast out demons, make waters still.
It’s all true. What I need satan will NEVER be able to offer me.
Yeshuas the one who died on the cross for me, so that I may be anything that God wants me to be.
You see, satans game is far from tame
But in the end, he doesnt win, thats why he tries too hard to steal all the souls he can to take down with him
Since his eternal life has been taken from him forever, he will never be given the chance to have what God has for us.
Let us praise God, give him a head nod, and say thank you Yeshua, for all you did so that we may live eternally and win this battle against satan
Through you, and only you.
Love Notes
You have written ‘I love you so much’ on my heart
And all over your glorious creations
As I open my eyes
I see your hand wooing me in the beauty that quickens my heart
As I open my ears
I hear your voice calling me
“Come!”
“Come all who are thirsty!”
As you take my breath away
My heart beats faster
You blow my mind
Over and over
You amaze me
Again and again
My heart explodes with joy inside
As you pour out your love
Over spilling from this vessel here
Overflowing with your love and grace
Drenched in your mercy
And soaked in your beauty
It is you, Oh God that I seek
I long to see you face to face
I humble myself to my knees
And lay it all down at your feet
My troubles, my desires, my dreams
Everything
My Lord, my King
As I constantly direct my gaze toward your face
You alone have my hearts attention
You are more than enough to satisfy my hungry soul
As you take me deeper
Deeper into your love
Deeper into your heart
You are there beside me
Holding my hand
Your are my guide, my counselor, my comforter, my great friend
You will always lead me
And never leave me

Oh, So Soon
A dark and eerie silence will come over the world
When it does it will send the world into chaos
They will search for what is right and wrong
They will remember tales of who can save
But they will not be able to humble themselves to there knees
And come to Jesus
There prized possessions have conquered them
They have not taken in account what sins they have committed
They have all forgotten, forsaken their one true love…
JESUS
He sent His Son down for each and every one of us
And at times when chaos surrounded us we called out to Him by name
Father, Father
But only to let Him go once He took the pain away
But this time it will be something deeper and greater than all the times before
Because there will be a man who calls himself His son
This antichrist has come to rule the world
This is no fairytale story that won’t ever come true
This is no wives tale, or gossip on page six
This is the truth
There will come a day
Oh so very soon a day when darkness will infiltrate the land
And all will search for something greater, something of worth
But they will not find it
So they will fall on there knees to this man
“My children,” Jesus says, “I am here to say PREPARE.
I am preparing you all for something bigger, something greater
My people need me,”
The harvest is there, it is ours to take
The time will come oh so soon. Oh so very soon
Do not try and rush His timing in anything He does in your life.
You are in PREPERATION. Do you hear Him when He says that word PREPERATION?
It does not mean go out and fight. It means sit with me and listen to the words I have to speak to you.
It means sit down at your bedside and read the Word, let His angels counsel you in the things to come.
Do not put your trust in any man or woman, for they can and will disappoint you all.
For they are made of flesh.
So walk not in the flesh, but in the Spirit.
Walk towards Him, the Light.
Let His fire reign down upon us and make us whole again.
It is time.

Screaming…
Screaming… Where are you Lord?
Why have you forsaken me?
But You’re there, holding them in Your arms
Their eyes are covered
The enemy has put a veil, a blindfold over them
They cannot feel or see Your love.
Faithfully You stay, holding them nonetheless.
SIMPLY because You love them.
We struggle, and are heartbroken.
The enemy has come to destroy,
But You Jesus, came to love!
Cleanse us, we need Your love
I fall to my knees, I have no strength without You
Its Your heart that I seek, I want to know You
I need You so much closer
Oh Father, If only they knew of Your love.
Show them Your love
Move them like You moved me.
I cry out Lord, take off their blindfolds
Show them the Light
Show them Your love!

Holy Ghost Woman
I’m a Holy Ghost woman
You say you never heard of such a thing
It means I don’t care about that big ring
It means instead of getting down in the clubs
At night you will find me on my knees praying for you
And in the morning I’ll be singing my Saviors’ praises
And in the afternoon I’ll be sitting down reading the Word
Cause that’s the food that I need
I’m not gonna look at you if you got your shirt off and start yelling my way, it doesn’t matter what you say
I’m not here to sing songs about puppy dog love and lust for some man
I was always looking and searching for what I thought I needed
I thought I knew what I was doing
But then one day I let it all go, that’s what I’m here to show
Girls, I gotta tell you its not about the sex, money and body
Stop trying to live up to the world’s expectations
It’s about what your Lord and Savior wants
That void, only He can fill it
I’m writing to the girls in their rooms that wrap there arms around them and scream out for someone to help them
Late at night when the world seems so still but inside your mind your going crazy.
I don’t ever wanna see the devil take another girl like he tried to take me
Please you gotta listen up
I stand up only for one thing
And that’s my Lord and King
Cause He’s the only thing that filled me up
I listened to the lies
All lies straight from hell
My past is not my future
I now stand up strong, I’m a woman of God
He grants me with the patience, love, and grace that I need to live
He surrounds me with angels, and His love so that I may get the Word out that He is the only thing that will make you complete.
