I lay
trying to sleep
but all I can hear is
"YOU KNOW YOU HAVE TO WRITE"

So here I am again
God, I feel your ANGER
and I believe that Your grace
is about to run out
What's happening?

AND SO
I HAVE CALLED
AND SO
I HAVE WOOED
AND SO
I HAVE WARNED
AND SO
I HAVE ADMONISHED
AND
I HAVE GIVEN
CHANCE UPON CHANCE UPON CHANCE
BUT THERE IS
JUST 24 HOURS LEFT
FOR THIS ONE SON
TO ADVANCE
TO ACCEPT THE CALL
FOR WHICH
I MADE ON HIM

NOW
CHILD
I WILL EXPLAIN
IN DETAIL
WHY
I DO NOT STRIKE
EVERYONE
WITH MY POWER
TO MAKE THEM OBEY

YOU
SEE A MAN
WHO IS SUPPOSE
TO HEAD UP AN ARMY
BUT I SPEAK TO HIM
AND HE BALKS
HE STUBBORNLY REFUSES
TO DO THINGS MY WAY
I WILL NOT REMOVE HIM
FROM THE RANKS
BUT
HE WILL ALSO
NEVER
PROGRESS IN RANK
HE WILL NEVER
HAVE MORE RESPONSIBILITY
THAN HE HAS THIS DAY
IF
HE CANNOT
DO SIMPLE THINGS
OUT OF
PURE OBEDIENCE
IT IS
A SIMPLE THING
I HAVE ASKED HIM
TO DO
AND HE HAS
JUST 24 HOURS
TO OBEY
OR
I WILL REMOVE
HIS TONGUE TO PREACH
AND GIVE IT
TO ANOTHER
THERE WILL NOT BE MANY
IN THESE END-TIMES
WHO WILL SPEAK
ONLY UNDER
THE ANOINTING
BUT
I HAVE OFFERED IT
TO THIS
ONE YOUNG MAN
BUT
HE BALKS
TO DO SOMETHING
THAT WOULD REQUIRE
SOME COURAGE
IF
HE HAS NOT
THE COURAGE
FOR THAT ONE ACT
HE WILL NEVER
HAVE THE COURAGE
TO CONFRONT MILLIONS
WITH THE MESSAGE

I AM
TIRED OF WAITING
AS YOU ARE
CHILD
AND MY PATIENCE
HAS RUN NIL
WAIT ON ME
FOR THE WORD
IF
THIS MAN PROGRESSES
BUT
I WILL NOT
STRIKE HIM
WITH MY POWER
TO CAUSE HIM TO OBEY
ITS LIKE TRYING TO GET
A MULE
TO OBEY CONSTANTLY BY
BEATING IT
I WANT MY PEOPLE
TO WANT TO
OBEY AND LISTEN
I HAVE NOT THE TIME
OR INCLINATION
TO "BABYSIT" THEM

SHALOM, CHILD
I AM
NOT ANGRY
WITH YOU
I AM
JUST VERY ANGRY
THIS NIGHT

AND
NOW FOR YOU
I DID NOT STRIKE YOU
WITH MY POWER
THE OTHER NIGHT
TO CAUSE YOU TO OBEY
I STRUCK YOU
TO
SHOW YOU
THE POWER
OF YOUR
OWN CALLING
I REMINDED YOU
OF YOUR NAME
"TERAH"
AND ASKED YOU
WHO ELSE
HAD THEIR NAME
CHANGED
WHEN I
CALLED THEM OUT
YOU RESPONDED
"ABRAHAM AND SARAH"
AND WERE NOT
ABRAHAM AND SARAH
THE FATHER AND MOTHER
OF
A GREAT NATION?
I SPOKE TO YOU
THAT YOU
WOULD TRULY BE
THE MOTHER OF A GREAT NATION
A NATION
OF RIGHTEOUS PEOPLE
WHO WILL DELIGHT
MY SOUL
AS YOU DO
I STRUCK YOU
AS I DID PROPHETS OF OLD
THEY DID NOT LIKE IT
EITHER
BUT THEY HAD
NO DOUBT
THAT IT WAS I
WHO WAS SPEAKING TO THEM

WHEN I STRIKE
IN THAT MANNER
NO ONE EVER HAS TO ASK ME
TO REPEAT MYSELF
THE WORDS ARE CLEAR
AND ENGRAVED
UPON
THE HEART AND SPIRIT
YOU
ALWAYS REMEMBER
THAT MOMENT
AND
YOU WONDER
ABOUT
THE FATHER
OF THIS
RIGHTEOUS NATION

Yes
for I do not want
to have to raise
a "family" alone again
as I have all these years
with my own children
I hope that there will be
a "father"

AND
THERE WILL BE
I PROMISE
SHALOM, CHILD
NOW
I WILL LET YOU SLEEP
BUT IT WILL NOT BE
PEACEFUL SLEEP
FOR YOU AND I
ARE TIED
SO CLOSELY TOGETHER
YOU WILL KNOW
THE BATTLE
THAT RAGES
IN THE SPIRIT
ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT
BUT
WITH THE DAWN
OH THAT THERE WOULD BE
A VICTORY!

***

THE
MORNING LIGHT
BRINGS NOT
A VICTORY
BUT
A DECLARATION
OF ISAIAH 13
IN ITS COMPLETION
IT IS DONE
FOR
I KNOW
HIS DECISION
AND YOU
MY FRIEND
DID A SYMBOLIC ACT
FOR WHICH
I INSTRUCTED
I SHOWED YOU A BRANCH
WHICH HAD BEEN TORN OFF
FROM THE TREE
MANY LEAVES IT DID HAVE
BUT WITH EACH ONE
I INSTRUCTED YOU TO TEAR
FROM THE BRANCH
YOU SPOKE A NAME
AND CALLED FOR
THE SOUL TIES
TO BE BROKEN
BETWEEN
THIS BRANCH
AND
THAT PERSON
AND THAT
MY FRIEND
WILL SAVE HIS SOUL
IN THE END
DO NOT
THE PEOPLE
YET UNDERSTAND
THE MEANING
OF
PSALM 1?

YOU
BECOME
WHO YOU "HANG"
WITH
JUST AS
WITH
YOUNG PEOPLE
WHO "HANG"
WITH
THE WRONG CROWD
IT
BECOMES OBVIOUS
BUT NOT
SO OBVIOUS ADULTS
WHO "HANG"
WITH
THE RELIGIOUS
IT IS NOT
AS OBVIOUS
THE SPIRITS THAT ARE JOINED
TO THEIR SOULS
BY THESE ASSOCIATIONS
THE VERY SAME SPIRITS
WHICH I LISTED
THE OTHER DAY
WHICH WILL CAUSE
A PERSON
TO
HATE
ME AND YOU
AND
THE PROPHETIC WORD

DID
I NOT
TEACH YOU
A LESSON WITH
YOUNG "ABSALOM"
LAST WEEK?
THE ARMY TOOK OVER
AND OFFERED UP PRAYERS
FOR THE CHILDREN
WITHIN 2 DAYS
ONE YOUNG "ABSALOM"
BROKE OFF
A FRIENDSHIP WITH ANOTHER
THAT HAD LASTED 2 LONG YEARS
FOR THESE 2 LONG YEARS
DID NOT
THIS YOUNG "ABSALOM"
HARASS?
AND ALAS
THE MINUTE
THAT THE FRIENDSHIP
WAS DISSOLVED
THE SPIRIT OF HARASSMENT
CAME COMPLETELY OFF
"ABSALOM"
AND
YOUR RELATIONSHIP
HAS BEEN
RESTORED

IT IS
IMPORTANT
TO KNOW
THAT WHEN PEOPLE
BIND TOGETHER
IN FRIENDSHIP
THAT THERE ARE SOUL TIES
THAT WILL CAUSE ONE
TO ACT
LIKE THE OTHER
THAT WILL CAUSE ONE
TO HAVE THE SPIRITS
OF THE OTHER
THAT WILL CAUSE ONE
TO DESCEND TO THE SAME PLACE
AS THE OTHER
I WILL BREAK THESE TIES
IN THE MAN
FOR WHICH YOU PRAYED
THIS DAY
I WILL BREAK THEM
AND
BREAK THEM
COMPLETELY
TO SAVE HIS SOUL
HE
HAS LOST MUCH
IN
RESPONSIBILITY
IN
THE KINGDOM
BUT
HIS SOUL
WILL BE SAVED

God, I am so disappointed
I always hoped for better for this man
I claimed better for this man

BUT WON'T
HIS TESTIMONY
BE UNIQUE
YOUNG FRIEND?
ONE WHO WOULD NOT OBEY
AND LOST ALL REWARDS
IN THE KINGDOM
IT WILL
SURELY MAKE AN IMPACT
ON MANY
THERE ARE SUCCESS STORIES
AND MANY A LESSON
CAN BE LEARNED FROM THEM
BUT ALSO
THE LESSONS CAN BE LEARNED
FROM THOSE WHO FAILED
AND THAT WILL BE ALL
THAT THERE WILL BE
FOR THIS MAN SO STUBBORN  
YOU CANNOT
CHANGE ANYTHING
CHILD
EVERYONE
MAKES THEIR OWN DECISION
NOW
COME ALONG
AND LEAVE THIS ONE
IN THE GRAVE
TO THE GRAVE
HE HAS GONE
FOR
HE HAD NOT
THE COURAGE
TO
TRULY LIVE

God, I can't leave him there

WHAT
CAN YOU DO?

I don't know
I would give him everything
I have if it would convince him
of the rewards for those who obey
I would give him all my Anointing
if it would convince him
that there is a better way
than performance
I would give him everything
but my relationship
with You

BUT
YOU SEE
DAUGHTER
THAT IS WHAT HE NEEDS
AND THAT IS
THE ONLY THING
THAT YOU CANNOT
PASS ON
YOU
CANNOT PASS THAT ON
TO ANYONE

IT COMES WITH
TIME AND LOVE AND SACRIFICE
THERE IS NOT
AN EASY WAY
TO MY THRONE ROOM
TO MY HEART
THE CHURCH TRIES
ALL THEIR FORMULAS
AS IF I AM A METHOD
TO PROGRESS
OR A MIND-THEORY
TO ADOPT
NO
I'M SIMPLY SOMEONE
TO LOVE
AND THE MORE
SOMEONE LOVES ME
THE CLOSER
I AM
TO THEM
SIMPLE
TOO SIMPLE
FOR RELIGIOUS MINDS
WAY TOO SIMPLE

God, I still want
to help this man
I know him - I know him well
and I know those who surround him
and the spirits that inhabit these people
He is influenced by them completely
He thinks he is in control
but each of these people
control him
in a big way

YOU
CUT THE TIES
FOR HIM, CHILD
WHAT
ELSE CAN YOU DO?

That's what I want You to tell me

I
WILL GIVE YOU
ONE PROMISE THIS DAY
ISAIAH 14:1-2
ARE
YOU SATISFIED?

Yes
sorry to be so persistent
but love is like that
right?

RIGHT
I WANTED YOU TO FIGHT
FOR THIS MAN
FOR I TELL YOU
THE TRUTH
NO ONE ELSE WILL
THEY CATER
TO HIM
AND
WORSHIP HIM
AND
EVEN CONTROL HIM
BUT
SHOW ME ONE
THAT SURROUNDS HIM
THAT TRULY LOVES HIM
YOU LOVE HIM
CHILD
FOR I HAVE PUT HIM
WITHIN
YOUR HEART
TO CARRY
ALL YOUR DAYS
I HAVE PUT HIM
UPON
YOUR SOUL
TO CRY OUT
DAY AND NIGHT
ON HIS BEHALF
BUT THOSE WHO
SURROUND HIM
ARE WORTHLESS
THEY ONLY
BRING HIM DOWN
AND PUSH HIM
UPON
THE WRONG PATH

God, could I ask
that he be restored completely
when he finally repents
and breaks away from all
who control him?

WE
WILL TALK
ON THAT LATER . . .
WAIT AND SEE
WHAT THE COMING DAYS
BRING, CHILD
YOU HAVE DONE
A GOOD WORK
A WORK OF LOVE
TO FIGHT FOR THIS ONE MAN
FOR NOTHING
YOU WANT FROM HIM
YOU ONLY WANT HIM
TO BE A GIFT
UNTO ME

I've seen
this man at times
when his heart was turned completely
toward You
and I haven't seen that
in too many people
I thought that if anyone
has the capacity to truly love You
and become close to You
that it would be him
I want with all my heart
that he be restored
not so
that he could be great
in the Kingdom
but so
that he could love You
with an intensity
that will make
Your Heart sing

AND SO
IT SHALL BE
CHILD
AND SO
IT SHALL BE
AND ALAS
YOU KNOW THAT
I HAVE SEEN
THE SAME THING IN HIM
I HAVE ALWAYS
WANTED HIM
BUT
HE CHOSE
THE OTHERS
WHO FLATTER HIM
AND TELL HIM
OF
SUCCESS
AND
FORTUNE
AND
FAME
I ONLY TELL HIM
OF MY LOVE FOR HIM
AND THAT
HASN'T BEEN ENOUGH
IN
YEARS PAST
TO
CAUSE HIM
TO
MAKE A CHANGE

I pray
this day that this young man
will seek You and love You
with his whole heart, mind, and soul
He is my gift to You this day
I consecrate him unto You
I lay him upon the altar this day
and remove everyone's demands upon him
I place a shield around him
that the evil would not be able to penetrate him
I pray that he would know Your love
in brand new ways every day of his life
I pray that he would become a friend to You
that You have always wanted
the friend that he was destined to be
I take him out of the grave this day
and I breathe my breath into him
and hold him up to You
He's Yours

THANK YOU, CHILD
AND WHY
DON'T YOU TAKE
MY WORD
AS ABSOLUTE
WHEN I SPEAK IT
TO YOU?
WHY DO YOU
BARGAIN AND ASK FOR MORE?

Because I know You
Sometimes
You punish because You are hurt
But if I just stand in the gap
and love You
I know that Your hurt will go away
We both love this man
You are hurt by his disobedience
and I am tired of waiting
but I still think there is hope
What do You think?

I THINK
I LOVE YOU
HE WILL MAKE IT
HE WILL MAKE IT
AS ON WINGS OF EAGLES
HE WILL MAKE IT
AS YOU WROTE HIM LONG AGO
HE WILL MAKE IT

Shalom
I am always here for You, God
when You hurt
I am always here
Always

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Hey God
all I want to do is SKI!
I know that sounds really "spiritual"
but that's all I can think of
this day
I really want to escape ~ get it?
5 days until
I picket the 7th church
and I would rather
SKI
What do You think?

I THINK
YOU BETTER DO
WHAT I ASKED YOU TO DO
IT WON'T BE AS BAD AS YOU THINK
IT WILL ACTUALLY BE
QUITE FUN

I already have
some unusual support
Please convince my mom
that she does not need to go with me
She thinks that it would impress them
to have an 83 year old woman there, too
I don't think anything about it
is going to impress them
but I know that they will take
a video again
and save it to put with all the other stuff
I have done
As the pastor told my friend
one time about me
"She just goes TOO FAR"
Now that's kind of funny really
God, You're going TOO FAR
with this righteous stuff
do You know that?
What do You have to say
for Yourself?

I AM FAR OUT
I AM FAR REMOVED
FROM THOSE PEOPLE
FOR THEY PLAY GAMES
AND THAT IS ALL
THEY BUILD
NEW BUILDINGS
FOR THEIR OWN GLORY
THEY START A SCHOOL
AND SAY THAT IT WAS
MY IDEA
THEY TREAT ME
LIKE I AM
THEIR PERSONAL IDIOT
WHATEVER
THEY CHOOSE TO DO
THEY PUT
MY NAME ON IT
I WILL REMAIN
FAR AWAY
FROM THEM
SURELY I WILL

BE "FAR OUT" WITH ME
CHILD
ITS THE ONLY WAY
TO STAY
COMPLETELY RIGHTEOUS
I REMOVED MYSELF
FROM THEM LONG AGO
BUT THEY CONTINUE TO BUILD
THEIR TOWER OF BABEL
BUT
I WILL NOT VISIT

TERAH
YOU ARE FAR-OUT
YOU ARE FAR REMOVED
YOU DO GO
TOO FAR
AND I AM PROUD
OF YOU

Will You stand
with me as I picket?
I hate to see all their faces
as they stare at me


FIRST
                    ALL AROUND
                                RIGHTEOUS ONE

                                        OUT OF THIS WORLD
                                                   UNDER MY COVERING ALONE
                               TOGETHER WE STAND


I guess
it could be fun
Then can I go skiing?
Love Ya
my Good Buddy!


SKI SEASON, YO!
