The only way it could be!

The only way it could be!

His love so vast and eternal
His Son our salvation to unfold
His spirit to guide us through
Love so deep beginning to end
From all three the only way it could be!
That we might see
And seek a love so true!
Who are we that He should care!
Yet a companion He desires us to be
Everlasting love granted by the Trinity
The whole of God who is love in all through all
How blessed we are to even contemplate a love so true!
Yet by His Spirit united as one we shall be!
Praise God for His wisdom
Praise God for His love
Praise God for His Son
Seek His great wisdom
Seek His eternal love
Seek the Son
Give thanksgiving for His wisdom
Give thanksgiving for His love
Give thanksgiving for Jesus Christ
That through His great love we all shall be one!

From darkness to light

Oh vanities of vanities within my heart do flow! As I look upon my life there seems to be a lack of anything that flows. For as I look I see that even in my days of sinful lusts, sorceries’ and decay my Lords hand was upon me to bring me to this day! Each time I approached the cliffs end you dear Jesus pulled me back, each time my life was set in perils hand you foxed the slayer from his deed that my life could reach this day.

How pray tell could it ever be a life so corrupt might see! The peace within His chambers the love beyond compare and be allowed within is more than one mind can bear. For the journey from the darkness to a light beyond compare sits a contemplation of where I go from here! Humbly I bow myself in prayer that what I learned on my journey I can give to others that they might see and know the wonder of His love that sets the heart aglow!

For there was nothing that I did, for he has done it all! What great love he offers there is nothing in which to compare! Our being once given is placed in the potters hand and he molds our thoughts and ends our transgressions as far in as we allow him to go! Ah but comes the vanity of vanities that we might think ourselves won! For we hold on to those hardened places as if they are all there is! Continuing in His love and growth for His love is beyond our knowledge we live and learn of Him. As he gently coaches us from within He teaches many things to us of His love, laws, precepts and commandments as guide posts for it is His promises He holds true and dear; desiring to share with us the promises that we might share in Him…Yet we hold fast onto that thing that separates us from fullness in His most faithful love. Ahhh…this should not be!

KJV Hebrews 11:34 Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.

I submit my weakness ‘to you my precious Jesus that one day I be complete!
In the mighty name of Jesus lead me from hardness of heart to your light…

A witness prayer

A prayer for times of going out to witness

We come together Father, our Lord and King of Kings that you might hear our petition Lord for it is to your Glory we wish to win more souls that none be lost sweet Jesus, our Savior and our King.

First we ask for us dear Lord please freshen our hearts we confess to you our Lord Jesus wash us in your cleansing blood refresh us once again that we be good vessels to your Spirit Lord Jesus in the witness we wish to give…

Prepare the road before us Lord show your grace and allow us to bind the reigning spirit Lord for it’s sometimes the devils house we enter and fill us with your sweet words. We wish to bring revival a celebration of your love that sinners are made whole within your love. May all the angels sing out in a rhapsody before your ears as we vessel your word and love, that we share with those you’ve touched to enter in your love.

Give us understanding Lord that we go in full armor and satan’s workers run in fear, knowing the truth in your Word is written upon our hearts and lays upon our lips. Lord open eyes and ears; pierce hearts Lord that not one word falls on deaf ears….

We ask these things Dear Father to see your work is done in the mending of men’s hearts all goes to your Glory Lord, let us bring forth new voices to praise your name sweet Jesus and in your love. We stand in agreement Lord to see your work is done. We ask these things in the precious name of Jesus our Savior and our King, Your will be met in our coming and going Lord. Amen.

Prayer for Lost

Most likely written after encountering a darkened soul

My Lord Jesus, King of Kings and Lord of Lords hear my prayer for those who are lost.
With sleeping eyes they sow their seeds of destruction never once looking beyond their flesh to see the true purpose they were created for; with blinded eyes they sow onto their flesh and wonder why they reap destruction.
Never once have their eyes seen the Love and Glory of Creation, nor have they acknowledged that they were created; is their destiny among God’s chosen?
I pray you touch hearts Dear Lord to understand the purpose of this and turn them to fulfill a true destiny among God’s chosen.
With darkened eyes they only sow to their flesh and will reap sudden destruction.
If we could cry rivers the tears would never be enough to touch the sorrow for all the souls to be lost.
Hear my plea our Father and enlighten us each one that we might be the guiding lights to the empty ones. Touch the hearts of those with no understanding that as we pass they see our light and inquire from their hearts to know the source.
Then let us share in a manner they understand that we show them our hope and love given us at Calvary. Give us a heart to lift and pray earnestly for each one that they seek your face and guiding light through all eternity.
Heavenly and Merciful Father give us understanding and power in the spirit to pray for the souls that fewer be lost. Give us a heart of compassion that when we look in empty eyes we pray earnestly that they find the way to your great cross. And even more so for those we know with empty eyes we lift their names before you Lord that not so many be lost.

Give them eyes to see that there is so much more in your word and touch. Pierce and soften hearts, open eyes, open ears dear Jesus that they SEE!

Within the precious name of Jesus I ask, Amen.

Just thougths

This must have been a day of philosophy for me! After reading Chesterton no doubt; He reasoned that Christianity as written was most sufficient, its problem was it has never been practiced in truth.

On a hill so far away in what appeared to be despair the Son of God gave forth all he was that we might join our God!
God took his hand and raised His Son that all to be would know the great love in creation was theirs if they would but seek and believe upon the Son..
There is a seed within us planted at creation~~~to seek the source of our being; to acknowledge and know our creator the Holy One of Israel.
The ways of man are onto themselves accepting their own wisdom or trusting in the wisdom of other men to guide them on their way~~
Never searching within themselves to find the truth hidden within the great love they have access to…at Calvary it is a hard thing to search within~~
For the ability to find ones truths all lay within their own hearts~~I pray who ever reads these words~~to take time to spend just pondering his Word and getting to know Jesus Christ finding out what His word has to say. Our thoughts are fertilizer to our Souls in need of control. For as we look to the living God that seed planted in creation begins to grow~~~in open hearts and minds.
Jesus and the Word, for Jesus is the Word bringing our seed to life so tenderly He guides us~~In what we need to know and this seed is planted within each and every Soul~~
Our emotions are negativity's play ground, our opinions usually build grieve and strife~~Less they are tempered with love and understanding to know and come to oneself that there is more to life than what we can see, hear and touch; That we are indeed a part of something much bigger.
To weigh the worlds argument we are just an accident, can you look in a child’s eyes filled with hope and love and honestly believe it is by accident…Do you not know that same hope and love is what God wants to restore to you! He is waiting on you! Holding out his hand!
We are filled with emotions and opinions that we have generated from our limited capabilities to understand how we as individuals fit into any whole. Anger, pride, self sufficiency all filling our heart and minds to where the art of reasoning has taken a back seat to the fast paced things we can see, hear and touch; keeping us from pondering and reasoning out truths that may lie directly in front of us.Less we submit that there is a higher power and that power is Jesus Christ and in this submission we find His mercy, His knowledge we come to an understanding that is beyond ourselves and the understanding that we cannot reach independently.

Original prayers from 1994

The Lord has placed in and on my heart to place these 3 very old prayers (of sorts they where filled with instructions) in my prayer box....actually that was the reason I started Arla's Prayer Box. They where written when I was very young in the Lord at least over 20 years ago. the Lord placed in my heart to leave them as they where and not to re-write....so here is a part of my writing history every thing I wrote then I labeled a Sinners.....something

A sinners prayer of Hope
Praise God and give yourself to Jesus that you might celebrate His Glory in this wondrous day He has created for us. Set forth this day for great works in the Lord and be happy give not over to discouragement for it is His will you are now in; Give me strength, oh Lord to do your bidding for I feel the time, let me not fail you.

Let us sing out praises to your name, let me sing out praises to your name, let me sing out praise; let me sing out praise, let me sing out praise to your name. Glory Hallelujah let me sing out praises to your name.

May the churches be filled with tears of joy, May churches be filled with tears of joy, May churches be filled with tears of joy. May the Christian of 40 years fall to his knees and accept his new heart. May the flood of Christians to the altar be as no man hath ever seen. Let the very foundation of earth quake in Glory as Christians amass to offer their hearts to God anew giving up all stones within. May the praises of your name from these new hearts be heard through eternity. May the flood of rejoicing and the flood of joy filled tears flood our churches as never before.

Oh what great rewards in the Spirit the Lord has for those who stay faithful to him in the new order coming. Our new hearts will bring forth a new out pouring of the Spirit you will know you’re walking hand in hand with our Sweet Jesus.

The new responsibility in the out pouring is awesome. Oh how I love Jesus these wondering’s I see, how great the Spirit of the Lord will be.

Our faiths will grow to giant size our believe in His gifts with a strong faith through us Jesus will bring multitudes to their knees in praise and worship. Eternity will echo the praises of His Great Glory and you and I can join its choir.

Praise God for His great love of man—Praise him higher for his love of you—for his gifts shall carry you to a world of wonder and faith. How great in all the Universe be the name Jesus. Our Father, Our Savior, Our Strength, Our guide to ever lasting life in Glory through his Sweet Name by his precious blood Our Sweet, Sweet Jesus, King of Kings, Lord of Lords, My redemption, oh how I praise the name Jesus. From the dessert to eternity He took that trip for you and me. Oh sweet Jesus how great your love that you stepped from the glory and peace of our God into the nature of man and drank from the cup of the absents of God that we may know God and His Glory and one day reunite. How great is thy love sweet Jesus, My Lord, My King, My Savior, Father of mankind, Prince of Princes Alpha and Omega My sweet sweet Jesus from whose blood I am born.

Pray for knowledge and understanding every hour of every day that you be ready when the pouring of the Spirit comes. Tune yourself into the Lord ---That’s GOD on your radio dial somewhere around OFF.

Fill your time with praise of Him or in fellowship with others in the faith, or giving your message to the land, your message to the world.

The out pouring will change the world there will be many seeking His name, many will want the source of your new joy; for you will walk with a peace and joy the world will envy and they will seek your source, Jesus. They will need strong Spiritual Parents when they take Jesus to their hearts. Understanding parents with no condemnation in their heart that the harvest grows strong in faith to sing of Jesus’ Glory.

Recondition your hearts for my sweet Jesus that you will yield to the Spirit of God rent your heart anew, sing your praises offer all to Jesus that He wash you clean renew yourself every day in the most powerful source on earth, The blood of Jesus. Your fresh anointing daily will increase the abundance of your gifts in the Spirit and this will be more pleasing to God; for he needs a freshly cleansed heart to do mighty works through the blood of Jesus and to Glory Jesus our Lord. Be strong in the Lord for that is His will for you.

Put on the love of God for the Son and the Son for the Father through the spirit of their love the Holy Spirit. Allow no bitterness or malice toward any man, harness all of your thoughts that they stay in prayer and praise. And trust in the great love God has for you, for you are the apple of His eye, His love for you is beyond any love you can imagine. May each word written minister to hearts somewhere, In the name above all names my precious precious Jesus….Amen


A Sinner’s Prayer for Pastors

Lord, please open your ears to the prayer of an unworthy sinner.

Oh Most High, I am unworthy of your Glory. Surrounded by darkness your precious name on my lips seems insane.

I know in my heart it is the time of the calling—and I am unworthy—Let me pray for strength in the Spirit, as in my heart the following I wish to pray for.

First I pray for the Church.

Let all men test the spirits Lord, to know they are of service to you. Let them give up their hearts, go into retreat and become one with you Lord Inlikeness one to another. May their heart be so full of Jesus—The Holy Spirit can work all His work within them. Afterwards may each day be one filled with a time for praising your Gory—Mediation in the Word –Prayer for those in need –and work in the Holy Spirit. Your warriors need to be strong for Satan is strong and His Angels much more practiced in Spiritual Warfare.

At every flash of worldly thought, may his lips and heart take up the victory in your name Jesus and through Jesus blood. Remember always, God’s way has no confusion. If you have confusion, take it to the Lord, for it is not His way, and pray for the Holy Ghost in the name of Jesus to end your confusion.

The days of the calling will be full of miracles, things even we never imagined and would only be possible through Christ Our Lord. NOT TRUE! Many miracles will be of the evil one to confuse God’s Army.

Confusion is like a sword of Satan Beware that your heart is true and washed in the blood of the lamb 24 hours a day. For the war has begun. Confusion is a tool of the evil one.

Thank God every day for your sound mind and the confusion will not beset you Many will fall to the trickery of Satan in these last days. Be not doubled minded. Keep only onto Calvary and His Word and Glory, in his Glory is your victory. Let not the pouring in of the Spirit work to a worldly fashion on your heart, for it’s for God’s warfare he bestows these gifts onto you—For His warfare not your prominence.

It is in man’s fashion to bloat up with self-importance. Carrying the wondrous gifts of the Lord you must pray for humility at every onset. Keep your hearts cleansed with the blood of the lamb—less your authority over things of the world be Satan’s key to your fall.

As men of God your authority will be greater than anything your mind can conceive. Maintaining your stature in God’s realm will take constant faith praise and humility. History has taught us men of great authority without temperance are the seeds of evil.

Satan has mastered trickery to a level our worldly bodies cannot conceive; without intercession of the Spirit, strength of the word and non-failingly Faith 24 hours a day. Even as you sleep have your spiritual clock set in your mind, less Satan slip into your temple---Awake and praise God he will send angels to insure your body rests as needed—He will protect you from even the thoughts you are not aware of –to build your warrior strength for the battle is at hand.

Churches of old shake your rafters clean your belfries. There will be those for God and those for the Antichrist only. All children of Our Lord Jesus will be filled with the Holy Ghost to direct their direction, and the Holy Spirit will insure their struggle is made a walk in victory. Free your will—renew your heart in Jesus completely, daily that the Holy Ghost can direct you in leading your Flock. Recommit daily yourself and take on the full armor of our Lord. To protect the great gifts the Lord will bestow on you now in the final times.

Now is the time of faith. Our faith and diligence will be tested sorely. Stay in our Great Master’s Love and Glory night and day.

Remember always “God resists the proud. But gives grace to the humble.”

Build your flocks to do the Lord’s work Saving Souls.

Remember always II Peter 1:1-9 For as we add to our faith we add to the Glory we can lift the name of our Lord Jesus up in with blessed assurance of the good work He will do within us.
Raise up a flock that will save souls Teach them to pursue the Holy Spirit, receive the Holy Spirit and teach them to walk in the Holy Spirit. Take up a banner to save Souls, leave the banners of the world to the worldly people. Satan has man given dominion in the earth. You have dominion from God through the Spirit to all souls, deal in Souls this is God’s Work….Bring as many as you can home to Our Beloved Jesus—King of Kings and Lord of Lords the Prince of Peace.

All of these things accept in prayer, I pray daily that the men of God prepare their souls and their flocks for a great out pouring and that they are ready for the warfare ahead. Lord Jesus, please hear the words of this sinner in prayer for our men of God and the church. I ask it in Jesus name that we work diligently that men of the word grow strong in the Word of God. My Sweet Sweet Jesus King of Kings, Lord of Lords, My redemption and my life The Lord Jesus Christ.

ALL THINGS OF GOD ARE AT HAND BE MINDFUL TO STAY IN THE WORD USE ALWAYS THE STREGTH OF PRAYER AND PRAISE IN JESUS NAME AMEN.

A sinner’s prayer for the Congregations

Note….the second prayer I write I also felt in the spirit of the Lord.


Lord please hear the prayer of this sinner for the congregation of Your House.

Be steadfast in your faith; there is great power in prayer.

Work on your salvation and work it out with God, Jesus wants you to give your heart totally unto Him, this includes everything in your life.

Any ill feeling you have toward anyone in your entire life…for every act of hurt against you…Remember that time to your Lord. Give every person and injury to Jesus He will teach you to forgive. No matter how many people there are--- take each onto the Lord---take every hurt to the Lord that he may work in your heart---God can show you the way to forgiveness—For God wants you to have no thought of malice toward any man less it be destructive to His work in your heart and mind.

God needs all of your heart and mind to do His bidding and bring those around you to His House. For you to be pure in heart that no one is turned away from the Church because of your doings.

Work your salvation out with fear and trembling. That you may do God’s bidding-
You are in Christ what your faith brings forth from you --- It is by your faith that God works—not by the Pastors faith --- but by your faith---your blessings, your healings, your gifts of the Spirit that the church grows. Always remembering to support the men of God you have submitted to with prayer and supplications.

BE OBEDIENT TO YOUR PASTOR
Pray when he requests prayer, work when he requests labor. Pray and work to the Glory of God through Jesus Christ manifested in your heart---not for a higher seat in the Church.

BE NOT THE SOURCE OF GOSSIP

Lead not your church to a crippling by arguments of Church Policy. Go in your closet and pray for your Pastor, elders and for yourself understanding. There is much power in Prayer---Yield yourself to the Holy Spirit and have faith that your prayers are answered; if you continue to have a problem take it to the elders or pastor. But be mindful of God’s Authority in His hierarchy.

Be a light unto the world---Let your light shine---so that those seeking God know you on sight. The greater your love of Jesus and His commandments with submission to His word the brighter your light will shine.

Be mindful to stay in His glory night and day—for you never know when the Lord will direct someone in need to you. Jesus poured the Holy Spirit on you to do his work. He will not send any repair work to you that he has not prepared you to repair. He knows your every strength and weakness in the Spirit.

Also be mindful to the needs of those you share the House of God with. Work not against any person. Work for unity in God’s House through faith and prayer. Enter not into discord in the house of God but fall to your knees and pray a sinner’s prayer. Be not a part of a house divided less you fall.

Be mindful to teach and counsel all those in trial or need, visit and pray with the ailing among you. Stand in agreement and prayer with your pastors and elders. Learn to trust in Jesus and His word do not fail to spend an adequate amount of time reading his word for your direction.

Confess your heart daily, remembering Christ crucified in all things. For it is through His blood we keep the mire of the world from attaching itself to us.
Keep your faith strong and yield to the Holy Spirit.

Be not self minded.

So we ask in Jesus name to stand steadfast for the Lord with a heart full of love and forgiveness working toward our salvation. Let us build our faith and live by it; to stay in meditation of the Word of God and yield our hearts to the Holy Spirit.

Be obedient to our leaders in the Word of God for the Grace of God. Let us not cause discord in the house of the Lord.

Let us stand strong in our faith vessels of the Holy Spirit to bring God’s Greatness to all those who dwell on earth. In Jesus name, thank you Jesus , I love you Jesus—King of Kings---Lord of Lords---Alpha and Omega of our lives---Our author in life May we always be led by the precious Word of God! Amen.
Now that is how I started after re-reading them I do not know if I am going forward or backwards in my writing. but in obiedance I post them....

Seeking Mighty Warriors
Men and Women who know how to put up a good fight


Our Lord has already touched your heart; he needs you to tighten up in His Word and Precepts for a fight. The time has come the battle lines are drawn he needs his warriors to pull in tight; though the battle is won, there are still those who have not come; so it is time to tighten up and shine the light.

This is no battle for sissies or pantie waists this is the battle to stand against the robber, who would have you lose your promise of the things that are to come. Not just you are in the foes eye but your children, mothers, brothers and all that you know. The battle is not of flesh and blood but of powers of darkness of which are now unfolding, manifesting in the entire world around.

The day of the harvest is here! The world will once more deny Him, taking some to follow them in to the pit of eternal darkness. But for us it is time to stand fit to save the many, many more. For Jesus died to save the sinner it was for you He suffered and died and for many more that has not yet come; it is His desire that you might walk in victory and your light shine; to aid in passing on His Word to save the many many more.

Take your inner journey place on the sheath of truth, render to Jesus all the stones of bitterness or ill will that remain in your heart; that he create in you a heart of flesh and the truth of his Word. In you a heart of flesh shall emerge set to fire by his love; He shall clothe you in the armor of His abiding love; writing upon your heart all those things you need to know. You shall be clothed within His love to stand gallant against the foe; who seeks to ruin the lives of all those you know. Standing under the protection of His all powerful blood, all fear shall flee from thee for within His victory lays the peace to be known for all eternity.

Take this challenge deep into your heart for the foe he is near to steal any thoughts of Jesus and His blood; for he fears and knows the time is at hand and Jesus is writing on the hearts of man; of all the promises that are to be.

Turn your heart to Jesus in every thought you have, confess Him every single day that you stand ready in the armor of our Lord to battle for those of need. All of the answers lie at the cross of Calvary seek its secret knowledge; unfold its mystery for within lies salvation for all those who believe.

It takes a gallant warrior to oppose him who has set his being to destroy, rob, steal and kill all those who seek the truth of the word and Jesus and His Victory. His goal is to wrap you in darkness with no knowledge there is even a fight. Let that not be!

Gather together put on Jesus; and the attire he has for you, that you stand in Victory for the fight; hold your ground in the body of Christ.

Where it all begins

I have a strong believe in the fact our true rebirth is an inner journey to our own failings through Jesus Christ and this develops a deep personal relationship with our God. This is the source of that believe.

It is my believe that the truth Paul is speaking about in Ephesians 4:25 (My favorite book in the Bible) Is a deep riveting truth that we meet within ourselves this truth radiates to our very core as we submit those places in our hearts to Christ he molds and reconditions our hearts and minds to be who we are in Christ. I believe as we face these inner truths, emotions, bitterness, opinions and we truly give them up to Christ the seed of truth begins to grow rapidly in our hearts. I believe that this inner truth grows and it is the rods in the foundation of Christ within as we gird ourselves with inner truth, (inner transformation to the truth). As we set Christ as our cornerstone experiencing the Blood of Christ at Calvary as our root we begin our journey to knowing who we are in Christ.

All of these things together bring us to a working toward the truth in the fullness of Christ where we can overflow, and I believe that it is when we reach this point of overflow of Christ within that our witness is the most effective. For we have reached a point where these achievements in Christ has caused us to be upright. Our overflow ministers to others and attracts others to that something different about us. This overflow brings the light of Christ into our lives, into our inner selves to our core giving us light within to shine out to a hurt and dying world.

Once that light is shining bright…we become a point of Grace to others and that is my Spiritual goal on earth…to be a point of Grace that all those who inquire will receive that piece of knowledge which they need to draw them closer to our Lord Jesus and that they are nourished in the Spirit through the Christ within…
