Little girl...
Heavens beam
Crowned
My lifted gaze
As I bathed
Oil drenched brow
Trinity dance
Received me
Till my soul believed
Truths full ambition
Held
Hands
Healing
His voice called:
“arise!”
Faith
stirred
my arising
From sleeps ashes..
Is He calling you?
Then He took the child by the hand, and said to her, “Talitha, cumi,” which is translated, “Little girl, I say to you, arise.”
Mark 5: 41

I have so many words to sing
Love songs to my king
Who fashioned me from the clay
For the array of his splendour
I am his delight
He celebrates my life
Each breathe I take a gift
Each step I take a leap
Of faith, hope, love
Kingdom made manifest from above
Life in my feet
Life in my speech
Life in my touch
New life
New hopes
New dreams
Blessed, beautiful, beloved
Isaiah 43:18-19
“Stop dwelling on the past.
Don’t even remember these former things.
I am doing something brand new, something unheard of.
Even now it sprouts and grows and matures.
Don’t you perceive it?
I will make a way in the wilderness
and open up flowing streams in the desert.

Majestic King
Majestic King in robes of righteous grace
envelops me with divine eternal kiss
a sea of mercy, healing bathing waves
I’m drenched in victory-cry horizon’s blaze
I stand in awe and wonder, oceans purest gift
my Saviour’s love for me -
I’m speechless and undone
words sing in silent adoration, praise streams
with ebbs and flows,
His constant love embracing
In storms, intoxicating hope sustains
and fountains, streams and waters flow
in unison shores crescendo, passion sings
and deep calls out to deep
Transcendent God,
flamboyant King
with lavish love
you hem me in
Hail Adonai!

nothing but..
To carry the truth we must be true.
Loving God and HIs truth more than our own life.
Trinity divine wisdom is not worldly wisdom.
Very often leading us through the door that requires the most sacrifice but as we enter taking us to the the highest level of walking in harmony with Jesus.
And the breath of the Almighty gives us life.
We are invited into life with Christ not just for Christ.
Isaiah 1:17
Learn to do right; seek justice.
Defend the oppressed.
Take up the cause of the fatherless;
plead the case of the widow.

The Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold—the virgin will conceive and give birth to a son and will name him God Among Us.
Isaiah 7:14-16 TPT
Where could I go from your Spirit?
Where could I run and hide from your face?
If I go up to heaven, you’re there!
If I go down to the realm of the dead, you’re there too!
If I fly with wings into the shining dawn, you’re there!
If I fly into the radiant sunset, you’re there waiting!
Wherever I go, your hand will guide me;
your strength will empower me.
Psalm 139:7-10 TPT
“Am I not a God near at hand”—God’s Decree—
“and not a God far off?
Can anyone hide out in a corner
where I can’t see him?”
God’s Decree.
“Am I not present everywhere,
whether seen or unseen?”
God’s Decree.

Undone
Undone I stand in awe
Pierced by pure love divine
Eyes open, heart aflame
I see the lamb once slain
Living in Calvary's promises
When you said it is done
When time stood still for me
Salvations cry was heard
Lifes blood pulsed through my viens
Jesus forever reigns
Living in Calvary's promises
When you said it is done
One day you will return
Blast trumpet cry resound
Come dancing bride arise
Clothed in your righteous gown
Living in Calvary's promises
When you said it is done
Pierced by pure love divine
Eyes open, heart aflame
I see the lamb once slain
Living in Calvary's promises
When you said it is done
When time stood still for me
Salvations cry was heard
Lifes blood pulsed through my viens
Jesus forever reigns
Living in Calvary's promises

Loves current...
Jesus’ love is the true current of life.
Once I was afraid to love or to love-love because I was afraid of what it might cost me.
To love is to be vulnerable, this in itself is self sacrifice.
The love of Jesus is pure. In him we find ourselves and loose our selfish-selves.
We can lean into all of the GOOD of HIS kingdom.
We can live in Him in the here and in the now.
We can be fully present in HIS presence.
We can be His poetry, love letter, song, whisper…
The Lord Yahweh has equipped me
with the anointed, skillful tongue[a] of a teacher—
to know how to speak a timely word to the weary.
Morning by morning, he awakens my heart.
He opens my ears to hear his voice, to be trained to teach.
Isaiah 50:4 TPT

A personal invitation
LETS HURRY, GO & SEE FOR OURSELVES!
I have been chewing over the story of the shepherds & the Angels in Luke 2: 8 - 20 (text below). It is so rich with both inspiration and encouragement but also with deep challenges for us in the days we live in!
Verse 15 says - "Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about." So they hurried off and found Mary, Joseph and the baby!”
Lets HURRY & GO & SEE for ourselves the Christ, the Lord, the Messiah, the Anointed One!
Lets HURRY & GO & SEE FOR OURSELVES
this good news of great joy that will be for all the people.
Lets HURRY & GO & SEE FOR OURSELVES
the Saviour (the one who rescues) that has been born for us.
Lets HURRY & GO & SEE FOR OURSELVES
Christ the Lord whom gives peace to men on whom his favour rests. Let’s hurry & go & see for ourselves this gift from God!
The shepherds knew that what they had been told, what they had been given was GOOD NEWS – the gift, the Christ child lying in a manger & they were excited & full of anticipation!
Verse 17 says that WHEN THEY HAD SEEN HIM, THEY SPREAD THE WORD CONCERNING WHAT HAD BEEN TOLD THEM ABOUT THIS CHILD - they spread the good news & all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them!!!
They SOUGHT Jesus & they SAW Jesus - a gift from God for THEMSELVES!
They sought Jesus, they saw Jesus - the gift from God for themselves & they shared the good news about Jesus with others!
They sought Jesus!
They saw Jesus - the gift from God for themselves!
They shared the good news about Jesus with others!
They were amazed & they returned, GLORIFYING & PRAISING God for all the things they had heard & seen, which were just as they had been told!
1 John 4:14 says - And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Saviour of the world.
This CHRISTmas may we SEE & TESTIFY that the Father has sent his Son Jesus to be the Saviour of the world.
I am challenged and stirred more deeply than ever-
to seek Him
to see Him
to share Him
to personally be excitement about our Good News!
I have to ask myself honestly am I glorifying & praising God for the promises & fulfilment of his living Word?
And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Saviour has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”
Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favour rests.” When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told. Luke 2: 8 -

Divine Drama
Jesus is for life not just for Christmas!
Jesus gave himself as a gift, planned from the beginning for all eternity.
Jesus was a gift prophesied about & waited for with great expectancy.
John 1:14 says - The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.
Jesus was the Alpha & Omega – the Beginning & the End in the flesh! The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us!
John 1: 1-2 says - In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.
As we celebrate CHRISTmas may we take time to ponder the greatest ETERNAL gift - JESUS!
God is with us!
Isaiah 9: 6
The Wonderful One
A child has been born for us;
a son has been given to us.
The responsibility of complete dominion
will rest on his shoulders, and his name will be:
The Wonderful One!
The Extraordinary Strategist!
The Mighty God!
The Father of Eternity!
The Prince of Peace!
