• Dwells

  The Spirit of God dwells in my heart. Fill me up with everything holy You have for me. Holy Spirit, break the callous heart and enter. Abide in me as I abide in You. The Spirit swells where the Lord dwells. There is no doubt, no distraction from Your greatness, Lord. Dwell in my heart.

  Lay it all down, let it all go. I don’t pick it up anymore. Let it go. All that remains is the character of Christ. The Lamb is in my heart. Dwelling in my heart. I make space for more of You, Lord. Fill me up. Our Father. Thank you for the unblemished Lamb. Holy holy holy. With Christ dwelling inside me, I am the unblemished Lamb and the High Priest in the order of Melchizadek.

  I put my feet in the fire.
  No longer walking in mire.
  Driving in the spirit.
  Hear your voice, Lord.

  Speak your words.

  Hungry for more.
  Overflow of good.
  Clear all the clutter,
  Lord, you are the matter.

  Clearing out to make room for you, Lord.
  Righteous destruction is godly worship.
  Spirit moves through the room.
  Breakthrough is here in Jesus.

  Audience of one in all we do.
  Hunger for more
  Fire and ice.
  Melting for it to flow.
  Holy is your name. Redeemer.

  How you draw from the well?
  The glory fills the room.

  Pretty Bible covers and carriers are nice.
  The best place to carry the Word of God is in my heart.

• I am Protestant

  I tried to run,
  I tried to hide.
  He chased me down,
  He took my pride.

  Make me humble,
  Every step of the way.
  I don’t deserve it,
  But I get it anyway.

  Just let it go,
  It’s not up to me.

  What’s it gonna take
  For us to break bread together?
  To love one another
  As He has loved us?

  Starting little fires,
  Here and there.
  Fruit of salvation
  Delivered to the masses.

  10/7/25

  Guide my steps,
  Guided and measured.
  According to Your pace,
  Your glory and grace.

  No fear with You
  I know you’re in control.
  Where my feet may fail
  I know you never will.

  Incomplete is not of God.
  Unfinished is not of God.
  Spirit of lack is not of God.
  Coming undone is of God.

  He’ll undo the worst,
  He’ll make it the best.
  Pulled apart by the flesh,
  God will give refresh.

  Better than before,
  Better than we can imagine.
  Less is more and more is less.
  Better than before.

  God shows up on time.
  God works in due time.
  But water the earth
  For this new birth.

  10/8/25

  Hold my hand
  As I uphold your love.
  Peace is jolly good,
  We toil for food.

  Blessed are you,
  Lord our God.
  King of the universe,
  Who brings forth

  Our daily bread.

• Out of Darkness

  In the darkness, God brought forth LIGHT. “Let there be” and it was. All that He did was sanctified and good.

  Breath of God sweeping through our hearts this day. The wind of holiness. Saturation of LIGHT, life and love.

  The Spirit of God was hovering. He separated the LIGHT from the darkness. No longer formless and empty.

  He is the giver of life. In Him was life, and that life was the LIGHT of all mankind, isn’t it great. On a lampstand it gives LIGHT to all who are in the house.

  We can rest because he has made a way. The just shall live by faith. Keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

  God might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. God is LIGHT and in Him is no darkness at all. That was the true LIGHT which gives LIGHT to every man coming into the world.

  Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil! Woe to those who put darkness for LIGHT, and LIGHT for darkness!

  For you were once darkness, but now you are LIGHT in the Lord. Walk as children of LIGHT. Then Jesus spoke, “I am the LIGHT of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the LIGHT of life.”

  In the end, LIGHT will overcome darkness.

• Cannonballs

  I surrender fully and complete to the Lord. To your loveliness. To your holiness. I appeal to you and make a place for you in my heart. Fix my eyes on the face of my Father. Come. Draw. Close. To us.

  “Walk with me,” Jesus says.

  The joy of the Lord is my strength. You give life and love. ❤️ uncap the wells and fill this place with your living waters that we might step in and splash around and for those that will make cannonballs deep into the river to be overcome by your presence and glory emerged in your truth and spirit washing away the grime of the world and cleansing us your children and humble servants while singing praises with angels in worship of God his holiness his glory and love to the Lord his name above all others.

  Holy Spirit is welcome here. Speak to us and move on us as you will for your will be done. Glory and honor are Your rock which is given to us to build dwellings and for peace for all nations.

  John 16:33 followers that will face trouble and tribulation in the world but find courage in Christ’s ultimate victory. find peace not in the absence of problems, but in Christ’s triumph over them. Colossians 3:23 approach all their work and tasks, shifts the motivation from seeking human approval to honoring God. Matthew 6:33 shift your focus from worldly concerns and anxieties about the future to a spiritual life centered on God. Colossians 3:2 set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, not on earthly things. John 8:29 encouraging us to strive to live in a way that is pleasing to God. Psalm 72:17-19 the sun endure forever that the whole earth be filled with his glory. Hebrews 11:5-6 faith is essential to please God, requiring belief in His existence and His willingness to reward those who diligently seek Him.

  Distraction sermon notes: Philippians 3:14. Matthew 13:22. 1 Peter 5:8. James 1:14-15. Hebrews 3:1 consider Jesus. Colossians 3:2 Set eyes above.

  Proverbs 4:25-27 (NIV) don’t justify distraction.
  ²⁵ Let your eyes look straight ahead;
  fix your gaze directly before you.
  ²⁶ Give careful thought to the paths for your feet
  and be steadfast in all your ways.
  ²⁷ Do not turn to the right or the left;
  keep your foot from evil.

• Worthy

  Jesus is worthy,
  For so many of us he knows.
  Jesus is worthy,
  We know what he’s done.

  If I’m first, I’ll be last.
  I can always pray and fast.
  Pour out love, if you please,
  I’m the least of these.

  The darkness has no place.
  Jesus conquered death.
  Jesus made a way,
  I listen to words Jesus say.

  Worthy is Jesus,
  To the end of the age.
  Worthy is Jesus,
  His blood on every page.

  Holy Spirit and fruits,
  Thank you, vine dresser.
  Sing praise with angels
  To your Holy name.

  Healing and love are core.
  I didn’t know before.
  But now, your light shows,
  I’m more worthy than many sparrows. ₍₁₎

  What you’ve made is glory.
  God, you made all things.
  You take all my worries.
  Jesus, you are the one thing.

  Every where I go,
  You are always there.
  Every where I go,
  Be the light for all nations.

  Glory to God.

  (by Scott M on 10/1/2025)

  (1) Matthew 10:31 (NIV)
  So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

  1 John 3:16 (NIV)
  This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.
