Maranatha

God’s heart full of joy, at the day of man’s birth

He rejoiced knowing, creation’s worth…

Rebellion crept in like a slithering hiss

Betrayed and deceived by a whispering kiss…

Years of wondering and years of war…

Waiting for the promise, a Savior to restore…

Hearts that were evil, minds turned from the Lord

When will he come, and open the door…?

Come Messiah, Come I implore!

Born, and lived, Messiah, our King…

Love came down and gave everything…

Rebellion crept in like a slithering hiss

Betrayed and deceived by a whispering kiss

Death and the grave were opened wide

Messiah came, so we could step inside…

Into Heaven’s garden to forever abide.

Down through the ages like waves on the shore

We wait in the balance,

Come Messiah, Come once more!

Murder and deception tools of Satan’s hand…

Crush and destroy the children of man…

The final say, is not from evil’s lips…

The hissing serpent has lost his grip

Lies cannot penetrate the truth of God’s Love…

The fight and this war are fought from above…

Signs of the times the endings of this place

A new beginning, a brand new race…

Do not grow weary but grow in grace…

Come Messiah; let us see your face…

Wars, won…Warriors in place…

Fighting in Holy Spirit without disgrace…

We are Victorious!

Our Battle Cry,

Is Love, simply love, not leaving one trace…

Of whispering betrayal, it’s no longer the case

This time our Messiah will not be kissed

By the kiss of death, but the kiss of Life!!!

For the Bride of Christ, in White will Rise…

Taking her place where no one dies…

Love restored,

Come Messiah, Come I implore!

Maranatha!

Genesis 1:27 King James Version (KJV) So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Genesis 12:2-3 King James Version (KJV) And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

Luke 22:48 The Message (MSG) No sooner were the words out of his mouth than a crowd showed up, Judas, the one from the Twelve, in the lead. He came right up to Jesus to kiss him. Jesus said, “Judas, you would betray the Son of Man with a kiss?”

1 Corinthians 15:55-58 New King James Version (NKJV)

“O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?”

The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

Revelation 19:8 King James Version (KJV) And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.” Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!

Luke 12:51-53 The Message (MSG) – To Start a Fire

“I’ve come to start a fire on this earth—how I wish it were blazing right now! I’ve come to change everything, turn everything right-side up—how I long for it to be finished! Do you think I came to smooth things over and make everything nice? Not so. I’ve come to disrupt and confront! From now on, when you find five in a house, it will be—

Three against two,

and two against three;

Father against son,

and son against father;

Mother against daughter,

and daughter against mother;

Mother-in-law against bride,

and bride against mother-in-law.”

Luke 12:55-56 The Message (MSG) Then he turned to the crowd: “When you see clouds coming in from the west, you say, ‘Storm’s coming’—and you’re right. And when the wind comes out of the south, you say, ‘This’ll be a hot one’—and you’re right. Frauds! You know how to tell a change in the weather, so don’t tell me you can’t tell a change in the season, the God-season we’re in right now.
