Jesus Christ King of Kings
Rev 17:14
[Praise to the Lord] Lord I look for you, but my eyes cannot see. I listen for you, but I cannot hear, I reach out to you, but there you are not, My mouth speaketh to you, but you are silent, I search for you but you are hidden, I yearn for you but there you are not. Then I close my eyes and I open my heart and now I can finally see; and there you are in all your majesty and splendour. Your presence surpasses all things, the world is your footstool and your love is deeper than the oceans. Your glory and honour cannot be measured and your mercy and judgement are sound and just. I deserve not a single moment, yet you give me years, not a day am I worthy, yet you give me a lifetime. You show me patience and prosperity, yet I dishonour you, you give me offspring and fill my barns, and I forget you, I inflict my brokenness upon you, and still you heal me. You give me the word, that it should guide me, and the lamb as a sacrifice, you gave me the lion that he should strengthen me, and calvary that I should have the blood. So Lord, I praise you in this hour. I praise you in mysterious ways, in words I cannot comprehend like divine melodies playing in my heart. I praise you in Spirit that you should lay your mighty hand on me, I praise you in love for my salvation, and I pray with a whisper that resonates loudly and boldly across the heavens. I stand high on a rock and see the splendour in your creation as a gentle wind carries your spirit deep into my soul. I live off the manna day to day and I feed on your word which is above the stars of Heaven. Lord I stand between the darkness and light as you guide me into deeper waters of understanding. Confine me in your holy furnace, that moulds me into righteousness, fashion for me a spiritual armour that defeats all evil, and give me a crown of glory on the hills of Zion. I daren't gaze upon your face as I come into your presence, but kneel before your majesty. Remember me Lord remember me, as I praise you with all my heart, my soul, my mind and my might.
[Hope in the Lord]. Lord You surround me with the wisdom of men, I'm staggered at their lack of faith, how can they ever come to know you.. I live between the darkness and light, as I labour each day. I am in awe of your mysteries as I bask in your holy furnace of chastisement. You have used rejection to propel me into deeper waters, and I thank and praise you. Division was the enemies goal as an evil stone was cast into the rivers of my life, spreading lies and deception rippling outwards until all was lost. But there you were standing on the embankment, and you made preparation unbeknown to me. You kept me safe in your tabernacle, and when that day came, you protected me by your power and shielded me with your heavenly armour. So I declare in my soul that all curses be lifted. I declare in prayer that it be done according to your will. No evil can stand up to your great power, so raise your mighty hand Lord and be done with it. What evil can over rule thy will Lord, what curse can stand in your way and disrupt your plans, None I say as in a moment you can touch one’s heart with mighty power and salvation. Lord if there is no conclusion or glorious outcome, then I would boldly say there was no beginning. If there was no beginning then I would sadly say, there you were not, and pointless is our hope and all our faith is as useless. Why give us love, but only to take it away and see it flounder. As it is, there was a beginning as sure as morning is a new day, and there must be an end as sure as the day draws towards an evening. What great artist starts a masterpiece and leaves it incomplete, what great carpenter leaves a house unfinished,.. Your ways are just Lord and your will is divine and perfect, and as for me, you will not forget. A lifetime is but a mere moment for you, you are the alpha and the omega and nothing you set in motion can stagger, and no more would you allow this than do evil itself. Lord my faith is impenetrable and can move mountains, my heart is like titanium as Christ says the Father can do the impossible. This is truth. I declare here and now, in this very moment, that evil curses be lifted Lord. Whenever this manifestation will be is your will only, but today I rest my prayer and hope at the foot of Calvary that it should be lifted up to your mighty throne. You are the architect of entire worlds and spoke everything into existence. I declare you touch the hearts of the lost in this moment for your greater purpose.I declare it, I pray for it, and I hear your words that it shall be done.
[Chastening]. Oh Lord with your mighty hand you throw me back into the pit. I remember these walls as they scream only despair. I am consumed by a spirit of fear and at the mercy of the enemy. I gaze toward the light but I am consumed by the darkness. I listen for you but I am met with such deadly silence, I seek you out but your voice is silent. I search deep into my soul, but find only a spirit of iniquity. I look for my Rock but she has crumbled to dust. Where is my faith which is my only anchor, I try to hang on but I struggle to lift a finger. My bones are rotten like those in the grave and my spirit has abandoned me . I am weak in my flesh as the days are filled with fear and the nights are consumed by demons. Where is my hope now and what shall I wish for, where is my love now, as she has abandoned me forever. I pray but my words are in vain and my tears are like rushing waters as my soul is torn to shreds. The melodies in my heart have become like a noise in my head and my love has become such loathing. Where is my salvation as death defeats me and darkness overpower me. Send me your angel Lord to smash these chains of despair. Chasten me in your fiery furnace and shape me in your perfect image. Fortify me with armour to walk through the dark valley and restore my path for your perfect purpose. Lord your ways are a mystery as no man can comprehend., I journey deep down to the centre of my soul and gather all I have to lay at your feet. Not a moment did I deserve but still you gave me a lifetime as you have forgotten my iniquity in the covenant of the son. On these shores I am blinded but then I find you in deep waters, and when the storm is raging overhead there you are with the sun in your eyes. You are the author of my life as your lamp is a guide for my feet. With a mighty hand you sweep my enemies aside and with mercy and grace you give me my hearts desire. Your restoration is beyond great artists and your gift is greater than fine stones. But beyond even this, you reveal to me a mystery, that in the twinkling of an eye you can touch one’s heart. I praise you Lord in all the earth and in the heavens, and I now see , when I was at my worst, you gave me your best.
[A prayer from the pit]. I fell from the heavens to the darkest abode. My eyes saw the work of Beelzebub and it crushes my spirit. My soul rises up in rage and rebellion and it ravishes my body until my bones are rotten. As I curse my birth, I crave for my own end, and the enemy stands over me with mocking pride in victory as the life is drawn from me and I bleed out. I run from the place I call home but theres no escape as despair clings to my shadow. My love turns to such loathing and what now shall become of this broken spirit. The scars of old have opened me up again for your purpose, my vessel once sound and sturdy on calm waters has no rest on these waves of fury. Darkness overwhelms me as I breathe in the stench of hell, despair has become my only companion and each dawn I am like dried fruit. Where is my weapons of Salvation, my Rock, and the voice that dwells from eternity. The silence is deafening as I embrace defeat. But for now, In the quietest corner of my mind I go deeper and deeper still, I seek out my comforter. I stand on my Rock and the vastness encompasses me but still I wait for the ancient of times. To the one who dwells in the high and holy place, tending to my humble and contrite spirit , he says : I will not always be angry as my spirit would fail before you. Strike me no more Lord, heal me, bring me your peace and restore me.
