After a church split, heartache, grief, confusion and strife that bound me up in doubt. It all came down to this :)
Thanks for passing by - blessings! :) Our God is a God of liberation - its sometimes easy to forget that in a divided world :)

There couldnt possibly be any turning back.It gets hard - it gets tough and it get grueling. But even when in the midst of misery and doubt - it cant peirce the reality and fire of that first encounter

There couldnt be any possibility of believing anything else.Even when it crosses my mind - even when Im lost n the middle of many theorys and disbelief - even when Im tripped up by 'what if's' and run down by others opinions - I just cant argue with that first encounter

It changed my life - it lifted my perspective, it obliviated my darkness and pulled me out of a deep pit of hopelessness. It healed my anguish and disbelief. It forgave my unworthiness and washed clean my burdens and sin I didnt even know entangled and choked me. It called me into freedom and I got a taste of true victory.

It still teaches me, guides me, challenges me, heals me and motivates me everyday. It gives me purpose, meaning and understanding[Its imeasurable, indescribable and incomparible. I crave it, I yearn it and I just want to pursue and take hold of it.His wonderful gift and life source - his presence - himself. <3

Hebrews 3:12
See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. [SUP]13 [/SUP]But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “Today,” so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness. [SUP]14 [/SUP]We have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original conviction firmly to the very end. [SUP]15 [/SUP]

It so does. It is most def a journey - not a destination :) This was probably the hardest season to walk through - it was so hard! But I count it a blessing and glad I persevered. Its taught me more than anything I could ever read or hear about - it goes really deep. My faith has been strengthened and my Joy even greater :) - I guess this is the hope we have when we do encounter tough times and suffering. You realise your strength is quite weak and you find yourself holding onto the only true hope you have - in him. Its a beautiful place when you are desperate for just him.

I talk lots lol

You will shine like Gold tried in the fire, purified in the furnace of affliction seven times if you reamin always faithful and looking to Jesus. Every word, every though, every action, ask, is this the way?
And he will tell you.

When my church split, it wasn't difficult for me. The difficult things came later in the form of verbal and emotional abuse and manipulation and isolation and poisonous doctrine. I was caught up in that for years. Thankfully, in January of 2010, the Lord delivered me and the healing began. :)

Im glad you are delivered and free :) Im so thankful that he delivered me also. You will have a great testimony to help bring others in that position to healing, truth, identity, promise, victory and deliverance :)

Here is your poem to encourage you

Strength and Courage, children of God!


Bright shining faces like the sun in wonderment, in love, as one
these children of our God do stand as one vast army through the land
the strength of each is from within, their hearts of love are great to win
There is no fear or dark and gloom so great to overcome with doom


Blow ye the trumpet, Zion blow, alarm the sound through vales below
the day is great, is long foretold, when all inhabitants, and bold
men, tremble at the coming woes, a falling on whom sin have chose
Cometh the day of God the Lord, to crush the rich and those who hoard.


The holy mountain gives the sound, the notes from vale to hill abound
the ground doth shake and tremble so, a drunken man would even know
that trouble comes from skies above, on people who reject the Love
of God's dear son who gave his life, but no, they rather wanted strife.


Let all inhabitatns now shake with trembling arns and knees that shake
The day is nigh, it is at hand, the land now trembles, He's at hand.
A day of dark and gloominess a day of clouds and of thick darkness,
as the morning spreads upon the mountain: The children shine, a light, a fountain


A people great, and true, and strong; there hath not ever been for long
neither shall any more e;er be, after them, like then, for eternity
A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame again:
the land as Eden was before them, now wilderness of desolation...


behind them as their feet do pass them, nothing living shall escape them.
As horse and horsemen run they will, to tops of mountains, over hills
they leap o'er houses as they run, thier faces shining as the sun
noise like a flame of fire devours, the wicked stubble in this hour


These are the strong, with power always, theyre set in battle lined array.
The people shall be pained and stressed: all faces gathering blackness.
They run like mighty men, none weak; the enemies of God to seek
They climb the walls like men of war; and march like one however far


Each march together in one way, they never break their rank always
together, never thrusting any, as one sound the steps of many:
and when they fall upon the sword, no wound shall any one afford.
In cities they run to and fro, upon the walls, and leaping so


shall run upon the wall, and climb up over houses in no time
; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief.
The earth shall quake before them hard; the heavens tremble by the Lord
The sun and the moon shall all go dark, and stars withdraw shining stark:


the LORD utters his mighty voice, before his army, they rejoice
For Yahwehs camp is very great: and strong his word to them that hate
are executed by his word: Who can this day of wrath afford?
The day of the LORD great and long, and terrible to the wicked throng


Now who can it abide, and how? The LORD says, turn ye to me now
turn to me with all of your heart, and fast, and weep, and mourn! depart
from sinning foolish pleasres, sin, and turn your ways and let me in
And rend your heart, and not your clothes, and turn again unto the LORD


your God is gracious,merciful, to anger slow, of kindness full
Who knoweth if you turn, repent, and leave a blessing sent
behind him; even meat offering and to the LORD a drink offering
unto the LORD your God you give? Eternally with him you'll live.


The trumpet blow in Zion bright, assembe now and fast tonight
Gather the people, sanctify, the congregation, no eyes dry
assemble elders, children, those that suck the breasts: the bridegroom goes
forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet. Soon abide


the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep now and pray, you can't afford
to not pray, say, Spare, spare, O Lord, thy people, written in your word
LORD now be jealous for your land, and your poor people, now at hand.
the LORD will answer and will say My people, corn, wine, oil today.


And be therewith ye satisfied and your reproach I now will hide.
But I remove far off from you the northern army, and their crews
and will drive him into desolation, with his face far from my nation
his stink shall come up, savour ill, because he hath not done my will.




Be glad then, Zions children , and rejoice in Yahweh God as one:
for he hath given you the rain, the former, later, spirit gains
and he will cause to come for you the rain, the wheat shall be full too.
the vats shall overflow with oil, and grape juice full for all your toils


And ye shall eat in plenty, praise, the name of God through all your days.
He wondrously has dealt with you: my people, not ashamed, are true.
And ye shall know that I am he, in Israel, I ‘m your God to be
God, and none else: you people mine, shall never be ashamed through time


And after it shall come to pass, I’ll pour my spirit on all flesh;
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men dream dreams, and by and by
the young men envision, the prophetic eye and on servants and handmaids my spirit shall lie.
I’ll pour out my spirit, and and full them fill, with truth of God, my word be still


And I ‘ll show wonders in heaven I spoke, and earth, blood, fire, and pillars of smoke.
The sun shall be darkness, the moon into blood, before the great terrible day of the LORD
And pass it shall come , that whoever sees, shall call the name of the LORD in victory
for in my mount Zion and Jerusalem shall be their deliverance, the LORD gives to them


and in my dear remnant whom I the LORD call, behold, in those days, and in that time all
shall I the captivity of Judah bring and Jerusalem gather all nations as king
I’ll bring them down into the valley and plead with Jacob my servants whom their Lord they need
I’ll plead for my people, my heritage bright, all who have been scattered, bring bacl to the light


Yea, what have ye done with me Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will ye be one?
render me a recompense? and if ye do, I’ll swiftly and speedily return it to you
upon your own head, because you did take my, gold and my silver and carried to thy
temples my goodly my sacred, my things; The children of Judah these children my kings


You took and you sold them to greeks far from home, behold nevermore will they leave home
Behold, I will raise them from where you them sold, and return recompense upon your old
And I will sell your sons and daughters as slaves, for I the LORD God am the God that will save
O hear you this Gentiles; Prepare now for war, wake up, mighty men, come up come over

Make swords from your plowshares and spears from your hooks
let the weak say, I am strong, come and fight you who took.
Assemble yourselves, and come down, all ye heathen,
And I will now show you who is God, again
All heathen be wakened, to Jehoshaphat come:
For there will I thrash you and crush you as one


for there will I sit to judge all round about.
Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is out:
come, get you down; for full the winepress
will be with your blood for your all wickedness




The vats overflow; for your wickedness great.
Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of hate
decide you to fight or come back to God’s vision
the day of death nears in the valleys decision.


The sun and the moon shall be dark and like blood
the stars shall withdraw their shining in the wood
The LORD out of Zion shall mightily roar
and utter his voice and the wicked: no more.


the heavens and earth shall like the drunk shake:
but the LORD is the hope of his people, he’ll take
them in strength, all his Israel so that you shall know
that I am the LORD your God dwelling in Zion, tis so!
Then will my holy mountain Jerusalem be
and there shall no strangers pass ever through thee


It shall come to pass in that glorious day,
that mountains shall drop down new their juice every day
The hills shall flow milk, and all the rivers a flood
shall flow waters, and fountains for Jesus, his blood
has given redemption to all of mankind
and only the wicked will be left behind


They shall come forth to the house of the LORD,
and waters the valleys of Shittim afford.
Egypt shall be desolated, and Edom
shall be desolate wilderness, all one,
for violence against the God’s children they planned
because they have shed innocent blood in their land.


But Judah shall dwell for ever with their God
and perverts, the wicked are turned into sod
and Jerusalem from generation to generation.
Will ever be called as God’s holy nation


For I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed
Said the Lord who in Zion has full recompense


Ho, come ye to the waters
come and buy and eat
for you don’t need no money
and the Lord our God is sweet


Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!
For the Lord is good! And his mercy endureth forever!

I didn't have time to re-read it so please fix any mispellings
