LORD, HELP ME BELIEVE!

LORD, HELP ME BELIEVE!
5/22/2011
MICHELLE Y SECORD


I am bowed low by Your mercy
I am bowed low by Your grace
I am bowed low by my sin
And cannot lift my face
Shame and guilt taunt me from the past
Fiery arrows, constant attacks
Grant me oh Lord, Your mercy
For there is no other way for me
To make it through that narrow door
And oh Lord, that is what my heart most longs for
Forgive me for my faith that’s
Been like shifting sand
Hold me in Your precious wounded hands
Help me stand on grace and the truth
That the just shall live by faith
By Your blood my sins have been washed away
And now You reign by Your Father’s side
To act as our advocate everyday
How blessed we are to belong to You!
To the One and only Absolute Truth!
Lord, we long to be with You in glory
To hear all of Your stories!
You are the Rose of Sharon, Shilo, Prince of Peace
You bring comfort and solace,
You bring relief
Forgive me when I doubt dear Lord
Please help me to believe!

I wrote this quickly whilst waiting for Peter at the Traffic Department last night where he was renewing his Bahrain car license. The scripture references and scripture wrap around the words put on my heart through the Holy Spirit last night. Thank you Lord!!!!

Your are the Shepherd Lord
We are the helpless sheep of Your pasture (Psalm 23)
Loved by You
Nurtured by You
Nourished by You
Snares from thorns embedded in our sides
(Numbers 33:55, Joshua 23.13 and Judges 2:3
"thorns in your sides” figure of speech refers to Israel’s enemies. These were actual people, not diseases. http://zealfortruth.org/2008/02/pauls-thorn-in-the-flesh/
Plucked out by the roots and healed by YOU. (Jude 1:12)
These are hidden reefs (elements of danger) in your love feasts where they boldly feast sumptuously (carousing to gether in your midst) without scruples providing for themselves (alone). They are clouds without water, swept along by winds ; trees without FRUIT at the late autumn gathering time - twice (doubly) dead, lifeless and PLUCKED UP BY THE ROOTS - read on people to the end - to chapter 25 - God is clearly speaking here!!!!)
Danger from hungry wolves is averted by You ......(Acts 20:28-29) (Matthew 7:15)
Serpents that lay quietly hidden preying on unsuspecting lambs...... (Numbers 21: 4-9)
Are revealed and DESTROYED by Your righteous, WRATH ...... (FIRE - Psalm 50:3 -4) and firm MIGHTY right HAND .....(John 3:14)
The sheep who have hunger in their bellies will see ME ....... (Psalm 42:1)
And WILL be found by ME! (Jeremiah 29:13)
I KNOW My sheep and they KNOW my VOICE!..... (John 10:27)
My loving arm is never too short to reach out ......(Isaiah 59:1)
"Surely the arm of the LORD is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear."
To find the sheep that have strayed too far ....... (Luke 15 : 3-5)
To scoop them up tenderly and keep them secure ....... (John 10: 28-30)
Until My sheep who HEAR my voice KNOW the direction they must go........... (John 10)
My LOVING arms without measure will keep YOU safe forevermore ......... (Deut 33:27) "the eternal God is your REFUGE and dwelling place and underneath are the EVERLASTING ARMS ; He drove out the enemy before you and THRUST them out SAYING DESTROY!!!!!!!!!!

IF............. you CHOOSE to FOLLOW ME! ......... (Luke 18:22)
"My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them ETERNAL LIFE, and they shall NEVER perish; NO ONE can snatch them out of My HAND. My Father, who has GIVEN them to me, is GREATER than all, NO ONE can snatch them out of My Father's HAND. I and my Father are ONE!!!!" (John.10:27-30).

Amen!

GOD'S HOLY FIRE

Heb 12:28-29
Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. For our God is a consuming fire.

"There is a depth in God whereby one enters the friendly fire that is Him and wishes to be no place else. It consumes a person in the same way love consumes the lover. His consuming fire enters the spirit of man and burns with the same fire that burns within Him.
It consumes everything in its path, like a roaring fire when it overtakes and consumes everything in its way. If there be any hesitance at entering in, that consideration melts before Him. One is totally immersed in His fire and realizes such baptism is the baptism into Him."
C.R,O

FALL AT YOUR FEET




It’s haunting me inside,
The day I try so hard to hide…
Memories flood my mind,
They make peace so hard to find
I close my eyes and call Your name,
But it’s hard to find You just the same…
I’ve only got myself to blame,
Pain burns in me like a flame.
Each day brings me closer to You,
Still the truth eludes me
They say You’re more than enough,
So why, for me, is it so rough?
Why does letting go have to be so tough?
I’m desperate for You, I really am
Won’t You come and hold my hand?
Won’t You help me stand?
Monsters from the deep,
Makes it hard to fall asleep
Are Your words words that I can keep?
I’m further ahead but no further along
How could it all go so wrong?
Where did all the dreams go?
Seems like the laughter comes too slow,
And I don’t know how to find Your grace,
And I don’t know how to see Your face!
I don’t know what to say…
Would it matter anyway?
All the things that I have done,
So many things done wrong…
Can you help me put the past away and move on?
Seems like I’ve gotten stuck
Remembering the mud and the muck
Too many tears have fallen
Can the past ever be forgotten?
I know if I can ever find You
I will find the truth
The scars and death we face,
Things to put behind us every day…
I long to fall at Your feet, to be complete
To feel Your arms take hold of me
To touch Your wounded hands,
To finally understand…

Until then let the wind take me away
Find me a place to stay
Make sense of the language of my soul
Take control and let me dance
Oh God, my God
My God of the second chance
I lift my eyes and see You comin’
Oh, and so precious, You are runnin’!
Come to me my Love,
Come to me
And please, oh please, will You let me dance?
Oh God, will You let me dance?
To dance the dance of the forgiven?
To finally understand what it is to be livin,
It’s Heaven and it’s finally livin’
Oh yeah, the dance of the forgiven…
