A Request

After 5:30am prayer today, I was blessed with the opportunity to minister through spoken word at a Wake County Abstinence Program through the Wake County Health Services. When I walked through the door, I was greatly surprised; I was not expecting the 100+ teenagers AND parents who were present. It was an answer to a forgotten prayer. Youth- both boys and girls- are a heart/passion of mine, realizing they need the truth in a great time of darkness and deception. I praise God for the opportunity to give Him glory through HIS spoken word in a secular venue for this specific age group (ahha- 5:30am prayer, "The law of prayer is the highest law of the universe.") Regardless of "separation of church and state," God's law definitely took precedence in that place.

*Funny... I'm beginning to understand the reality of the spirit of Joshua. God's chosen words through me are not comfortable for me or those who listen; they are words of transparency and truth.

Matthew 10:34 "Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword."

After I ministered, a woman asked if she could have a copy of my piece (ChildLikFaith, I'm feelin' you on the cd project issue). I did not have a copy, but I gave her my card with my information on it, guiding her to "this here" blog.

So, as promised... this is for you.

"Choices"

You? Remember?
It was...
Alcohol
Friends
Him or Her and then...

Sex,
Their bed as the altar where your soul was lent.
Screaming in muffled intoxicated voices,
"NO! NOT TO THEM!"
But you didn't listen. You didn't even feel it.
You lay there unemotional and motionless as they moved quickly in then out your spirit.
See, you were their advantage- quickly taken.
Weak and confused, you gave to them their LOOONG wish, swiftly granted.
Your soul's cry began to take on a physical face as tears ran down but your voice not awakening because you?
You were vocally... without sound.

Sunrise. Opened eyes.
Yes... it's-all-true:
Your body now holds an unheavenly tie to your soul's roots as you remember...

Alcohol
Friends
Him or her and then...

Spiritual intervention, what the saints call intercession.
Unbeknownst to you, an eviction notice came through.
Was prayed on your spiritual house as the prayer warriors became vessels of God, telling the enemy,
"Your time is up! GET-OUT!"
The night all hell broke loose in your spirit was the same night God released His power on the tongues of those who'd intercede for your spiritual benefit.
Yes, the devil was a defeated foe from the very start, but God had to prove this truth to you and plant it in your heart.
He had to give you free will to choose...

Alcohol
Friends
Him or Her and then...

Eternal life over sexual immorality- that which should've been but needed one experience to become real to you.
To me.
See, I was that complex, perplexed individual because of one night when physical faces of a baby came across my mind.
When STDs, HIV, and AIDS were thought to be satanically prophesied.
But thanks be unto God, by His grace- I was saved.
By His power, I-AM-ALIVE.
So when given the choice to choose
Alcohol
Friends
Him or Her and then?

What will you decide?
