This is the first lengthy poem given to me. It came during a time of depression. I personally think the devil knows when there’s a call on your life and he try’s very hard to keep you from walking out the plan of God for your life. After all he cannot steal the anointing from you (he’s not the one who gave it) but if he can keep you from walking in the fullness of what God has provided then he has nothing to worry about. Depression is one of his favorite tools to use on us, but thanks be to God who ALWAYS causes us to triumph in Christ Jesus! He has provided weapons that are not carnal to cast down reasoning’s that are contrary to His plan and purpose. One of these weapons is the gift of prophecy to speak encouragement to yourself. This one came October 27, 1989 at 12:30 – 1:00 a.m.
When it seems so dark and lonely inside — vacant and hollow, empty and blind. There’s no one that’s near you, they’ve all gone to hide.
Yet that soft gentle prompting from the Greater One within, the nudging that tells you to draw closer to Him.
“It’s in the word, you know, the grace that’ll set you free. That flow of eternal life that only comes from knowing Me.”
So I turn to the Holy Scripture to get my fix from God above.
And what happens?
My God, He fills me to overflowing with His love!
It’s not fun getting bitten, mauled and scratched at by the snake. At the time your life feels like it’s going through a major earth-quake.
You don’t want to reach out to others telling them what you’re going through. Somehow you convince yourself there’s nothing they can do.
I thank my God for the Friend who sticks closer than a brother.
For like Him — there is none else — that’s it, there is no other!
So learn a lesson from times of heartache my friend. Jesus is the only One who truly loves you to the end. When you feel bad because you finally broke down and cried. All you have to do is look to the One who lives inside.
Thank you, Jesus!
