You waited a lifetime

to get me to

this here and now

You don't just know my skillset

You created it

You've molded it through pain

and endless tears and trials

You made me watch Death

so I could see Your existence

You let me stand in the mire pit

so I could see the Root to freedom

You make me ask questions

so You can give answers

You make me see visions

so I can see through Your eyes

You've let me teeter the ledge of Forlorn

so I could see the prospect of Happy

You made me watch it snatched away

so I could see my own resilience

You let them flaunt Darkness

so I would flaunt Light

You let me know fear from them

so I could know confidence from You

You sent me off to school

so I can learn my authority through You

Your proving ground is wherever we are

not every gift given is for pleasure but

weapons of holy war that they are

some say they are not real

some say just figments of imagination

but we just dust off our boots

and keep going

I'm scared of cockroaches

but I'm not scared of the enemy or

his dark spirits

Amen.

โ€œAnd whoever will not receive you nor hear your words, when you depart from that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet.โ€ Matthewโ€ฌ โ€ญ10โ€ฌ:โ€ญ14โ€ฌ โ€ญNKJV

๐Ÿ—ก๏ธ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ

โ€œโ€˜And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams. And on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days; And they shall prophesy. I will show wonders in heaven above And signs in the earth beneath: Blood and fire and vapor of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord. And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the Lord Shall be saved.โ€™โ€
