Your affections are like a flask of the strongest wine, it intoxicates me as I drink of your love. Your presence is heady, like the aroma of myrrh and spices, take me away with you my lover, take me into your chambers and let us take our fill of love till the morning light! Let the King ravish his own, with Kisses of Passion that fill the heart with fire unquenchable. Let this heart “burn” with such a heated passion it threatens to be consume me to ashes and dust, till there is nothing left but…

Man was created for companionship with God, man was created to live in the unbroken ecstasy of God.……until the fall, he had perfect fellowship with him….The bible says “In his presence there is FULNESS of JOY and at his right hand are pleasure forever more”
Psalm 16:11. We were created to know Gods full gamut of JOY and PLEASURE while living in his presence, this is the “pleasure” principle.
Nothing in this life can complete us or fulfill us like his presence, but we…

Time and earth pass away here in your presence, it all becomes as nothing. You speak and the sound of many waters passes through my soul. I am drenched, engulfed, in waves of liquid love, drowning me in your presence till I float in a mist of glory. Every nerve ending is alive to your touch; my senses are afire with the ecstasy of your smile. I reach out and touch the cloud of Glory and touch eternity, I am undone, unraveled, disabled. Up is down, inside is out, all is turned around here in…

The WINE cellar!......Saint Bernard of ClairvauxShare
Today at 1:29am
The king led me into the wine-cellar, he set love in order in me.’ The words of the proposed text seem to mean that after the bride had achieved her desire of sweet and intimate conversation with her beloved, she returned, at his departure, to the maidens so refreshed and animated in speech and appearance that she looked drunken. And when they, surprised at this novelty, asked for the reason, she answered that it is…

Jeremiah 18:1-6
This is the Word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord. "Go down to the potter's house, and there I will give you my message". So I went down to the potter's house, and I saw him working at the wheel. But the pot he was shaping from the clay was marred in his hands, so the potter formed it into another pot, shaping it as seemed best to him. Then the Word of the Lord came to me "O house of Israel, can I not do with you as…

RECENT VIRGINIA CHURCH SERVICE
I would love to give the Pastor of this predominantly black church in Virginia a hug and a high five. This guy is obviously a leader and not one of the sheep. Perhaps we should each decide who our real leader is. It is amazing to see that very little has changed in 4,000 years.

Tuesday morning when I was in my visit with the Lord, I was sharing with Him, how I was feeling so weary and far from Him. He said to me, "As long as you have my WORD in here, you have HOPE. My Word is your HOPE. My Word is alive. My Word Loves. My Word heals. My Word brings peace and joy. As long as you have My Word, you have HOPE?" What a GREAT GOD He is!!

Oh God! Our minds are so twisted and inter-twined with fear, pain, doubt. How do you relate to 'souls' whose minds are a 'tangled ball of hairy mess?' That's what God showed me one day, in my prayer time. I asked Him to show me what He wanted me to see.This was before I had even gone into the jail for the first time.
I was sitting in my office praying and waiting for Him to speak. All of a sudden,I saw myself with a 'ball' of hair on my head and it was a ball of tan-
gled hair,…

A REAL GOOD FRIEND OF MINE, SENT ME THIS....
Hebrews 10:10 (NLT) And what God wants is for us to be made holy by the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all time.
1 Peter 1:16 (NLT) For he himself has said, "You must be holy because I am holy."
Holiness and righteousness is the absence of sin. Since we all have sinned we must undo our sins.
1 John 1:9 (NKJV) 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to…

When I was first starting out in prayer, I read a real good book by Andrew Murray called, With Christ in the School of Prayer. I believe that was the name of it. It said it takes 21 days to develops a habit. That's what I remember about that book. I was determined to develop a prayer life, a prayer habbit! If I can develop a habit of smoking cigarettes, or drinking, or some other hobby, then I knew I could do this. Of course I wasn't doing any of these things... at this time.

As I was re-reading my last post on prayer, I giggled, as I realized, that way back then, I was asking God to let me hear His voice. Today I ask Him to let me see His face and His glory!! This makes me laugh! God is so good to me!
I have dreamt many dreams about climbing a huge hill. Sometimes it's a slight incline, and sometimes it's right, straight up, and I almost don't make it. I have to hang on for my life, and even as I write this, I get this sensation in my chest that I'm going to…

PRAYER IS MY RELATIONSHIP WITH MY FATHER. God has taught me so much about prayer. He has taught me so much...if all of us as christians would take the time to talk to our father, He would talk back. If we tooke the time to really listen, we would know how to walk and how to get over this life! He has taught me to come to Him first. He is the most important person in my life, therefore He does come first.
When I first started developing my prayer life, I remember making a commitment…

THESE LAST FEW WEEKS, THE LORD HAS BEEN STIRRING MY HEART TO SHARE AND TEACH ABOUT OFFENSES! HOW OFFENSES COME OUR WAY, AND HOW WE OFFEND OTHERS!
LUKE 17:1, THE JESUS SAID TO HIS DISCIPLES, " IT IS IMPOSSIBLE THAT NO OFFENSES SHOULD COME, BUT WOE TO HIM THROUGH WHOM THEY DO COME! SO WE LEARNED THAT OFFENSES ARE ALWAYS GOING TO COME OUR WAY, WHETHER IT'S SOMETHING PEOPLE SAY, OR DO TO US, THAT MIGHT CAUSE US PAIN, HURT, TORMENT...
YOU UNDERSTAND THAT MANY OF THESE PEOPLE IN…
