Psalm 4

Em
Hear me when I call 
     D                                   Em
O God of my righteousness 
                         D
Thou hast enlarged me 
                                    Em
When I was in distress
Em
Have mercy upon me 
           D            Em
And hear my prayer

Em                                           D
YHWH will hear when I call unto Him
D             C
Stand in awe

And sin not
C                                              G
Commune with your own heart

Who will shew us any good?

YHWH, lift thou up the light 
 C                               G                   D
Of the thy countenance upon us
C                                                     D
Thou has put gladness in my heart

More than the time
G                                                             D
That their corn and their wine increased
F                      D

I will lay me down

In Peace and Sleep

For Thou, YHWH, only makest me dwell in safety

  D          C                    D
YHWH is my shepherd; I shall not want.
                    C             G   A                     G                 D
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Em             D                C            G         Em     C              D         C        D    Em 
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; 
  D               C                 D
thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
                  C           D                  C  G        D  
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: 
                  C                 D           C D
thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
        C              D               C                     D                             C        G        A
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of YHWH for ever.

Messiah's Song

Your heart said be my bride

And my heart said yes I do

You called me to your side

And that's where I fell in love with You

Rivers of Life and Purity

Sprinkled with Mercy and Love

Sealed with the ring of Your Ruwach

'Till the day You take me Home above

The voice of the turtle dove is heard throughout the land

The fig tree bring forth their green bud

Your heart sings softly to me come away my Love

And my heart sings Your the One

How can I withold from You my son

Whom You knew before time was new

You called him to Your side

And that's where he fell in love with You

You'll soon appear in the eastern sky

The clouds be rolled back as a scroll

You'll take me Home with You forever more

And there I will finally be whole

Ev'ry tribe and nation will bow before Your throne

Ev'ry tounge confess that You are Lord

For Your coronation present You'll receive Your Bride

Pure and spotless as You are

Though I sit here Love sick with Grief

I know we've got things to do

I've got invitations to write

For the day the Chrurch becomes Your Wife

You will prepare a place for us on High

Filled with all things Perfect and New

There Gold is something we just walk upon

And Love is something we just DO!

There we will sit and laugh beside the crystal sea

And drink from the Water of Life

All things that were intended before time began

Shall be forever with out end

This song has been written for a long time now (about three months).  Immediately after writing a song of repentance from idolotry the song itself became an idol.  I am at the present unable to publish the recording of it because my laptop harddrive burned up.

Golden Let Down

When our idols let us down

When they burn a hole in the sky

Will we seek You then?

Will we even wonder why?

Or will we stoop and bow

Before the golden god that we've made

And call the third world names

For whom the Son of Man came to save?

Dwell in us today

You who paid the price for our sin

Wipe our tears away

Purify Your house from within

Stay with us YHWH

Until the golden god disappear

Qedosh Yes'rael

Hear our cry and draw us near

Money let us down

Our graduations hang on the wall

Only You can save

Only You can take sins away

Bright Morning Star

No one else can stand in Your Place

We repent YHWH

Take our golden idols away

This song has been written for even longer.  I wrote it almost a year ago when I was working as a moving man moving an elderly couple into a retirement community. Sorry can't upload the recording yet because my harddrive is fried.

We Look for the Day

We look for the day

When money can't be found

And we gladly serve each other with Your Love

When diamonds hold no value

But to magnify the beauty of Your Face

Of Your Love and Grace

You will come like lightning in the eastern sky

And You'll take Your children to their Home on High

Then You will Reign upon us for a thousand years

And this old world will finally see what Love is

I have traditionally spent New Year's Eve praising and worshipping the Qedosh Yisra'el but this year I was moved to lament and cry for our great nation.  America what are we doing?

In America?

I'm the voice of one crying in the wilderness

Who will hear our cries oh Lord?

When will we see the freedoms promised in America

For the countless babies burned up in their mother's womb?

Who'd have thought a place of warmth and love could be a tomb?

In America? (2x)

He that loves the wine and oil will never know what's rich

And the cost of bread shall rise

I've been shore to shore in search of bread in America

I'm hungering and thirsting though my belly's filled up fat and full

Good Shepherd hear our cries for Bread and Water in this wilderness

In America? (2x)

We sit like caged rats schooling our children in their homes

Rachel Scott we hear Your cries

Oh say can you see the orange glow beyond the setting sun

And smell the burning flesh the consumation of what has begun

And hear the distant cries from the ovens 'tis the END of Darwin's fun

In America?

And now I plea the Blood over us from shore to shining shore

Of Jesus Christ the Risen Lord

And invoke the POWER in His Name for Freedom in this land

For through it all somehow the Star Spangled Banner yet waves

And my heart we'll be the Land of the Free and Brave

In America! (3x)

Dumb Dogs

Hear our cry oh Lord!

While we're made to beg for bread and water

And it's poisoned anyway

They make the children pass through the fire

And proclaim that they are god

And the dumb dogs never bark

They're drunken in the dark

Too afraid to reach beyond the pew

They devour widows with lies from Malachi

And lock the fathers out

With promises of gold they lie in wait

While the cities and the airwaves are laid waste

And the dumb dogs never bark

They're drunk and never start

Oh Lord

NOTE:  No your eyes are not deceiving you.  This epigraph used to be longer.  I trucated the ending because a friend of mine once told me, "Do not interpret God's words but to let them speak for themselves."  Thank you Joe for that advice.  I apologize for my pride and shall try harder to do what is right.

When the East Wind Blows

When the east wind blows

When the tides will rise, oh Lord

For the time of wrath and yet a time of peace and love

If America forgets her God

Who will be a prophet for us?

When the morning comes

And you wonder what it's all about...

Remember your First Love

And take the hand that's reaching out

For the voice of fifty thousand strong

Will sing Your Praise

Receive Your Grace

When the judgement comes

And awakes revival in us

You Deserve Your Name Declared

You deserve Your Name declared in all the earth

You deserve Your Name declared in Love

You deserve Your Name declared by every tribe and tongue

And You deserve Your Name declared in us

Though the heavens and the earth will all pass away

Though the mountains crumble to the sea

All the heavens and the earth can no contain Your Love

So You deserve to have Your way in us

King Yeshua please have Your way in us!

Happy Rosh Hashana

Blow the Shofar with me, oh House of Israel!  Return now to the covenant our Eloheem, the Qedosh Yishra'el!  Hear now the sound of the coronation of our King who returns to us soon!  Hear now the wailing of the Jewish heart who longs for Him, who longs for her Bride Groom!  Hear now the wake-up call to repentance!  Return with me to the covenant and to the House of our Eloheem, the Eloheem of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob!  Hear now the faith of our Father Abraham who calls to us from beyond the years!

Drink now the fatness of the milk of His Word and taste the sweetness of His honey!  Know ye that YHWH He is Eloheem.  It is He who has made us and not we our selves.  We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.  We are Israel!

Thank you oh Israel.  Thank you for preserving the oracles for us.  Thank you for suffering the persecution and the labor pains to bring forth our Messiah.  Thank you for being a shining light in the midst of adversity.  Thank you for bringing achievements in medicine and communications and nuclear physics and every area of human life.  Thank you oh House of Israel.  I blow the Shofar with you.

This year I blow the Shofar with you.  If they persecute you then they must persecute me too.  This year I return to the covenant with you.  If they kill you then they must kill me too.  In antiquity we changed our sabbath to run from the persecution of our brethern.  Now I choose to identify myself with you.  Many of our fathers were wrong and hurt you.  I return to the covenant of our Eloheem and I ask His forgiveness and your forgiveness for the persecution because of Martin Luther's fat mouth and words spoken in malice and bitterness.  I ask the forgiveness of our Eloheem and you, oh Israel, for any trite or off-handed statements that have brought you pain.  I blow the Shofar with you, oh House of Israel.

This Rosh Hashanah there is a bitter wailing in the Jewish heart for there is no temple, no altar on which to make the sacrifice but I say to you, "Look to the hills from which your help shall come because He has provided the Sacrafice.  He has already provided the Ram even as He did your father Abraham."  We are the temple oh House of Israel and YHWH chooses not to dwell in a house of stone or a temple made by hands but in the hearts of those who Love Him.

Blow the Shofar oh house of Israel for He will call you to His covenant to meet Him in the clouds.  Blow the Shofar, oh House of Israel!

Far too many would like to rewrite Romans 12:2 so that it misreads, "Be not conformed to the things of this world but be you conformed to the things of my church"  Do a word study on this!  Put a lot of thought in to what a transformation process really is.  It's not a check list.  It's a relationship.  And our God is a quarky kind of God.  He'll give all the answers that you've been looking for to some geek on the Internet or some mentally retarded person at the institution or some prisoner public enemy number one just because he wants to see if you bother to go to the least of these.  America quit playing it safe.  Get out of the pew and find out how much Jesus Loves you.  I've really got to make that call to the prison ministry.

Get Flushed

Take away the drugs and pscychology

Throw away the paper and turn off the TV

Open up your Bible and learn how to read

And You just might see Jesus (2x)

Refrain:

Get flushed for the King of Kings

Get flushed see the Joy that He brings

Get flushed and learn how to read

And you just might see Jesus (2x)

When they nailed him to the Cross

He took it like a man

No mambie-pamsey for the Great I Am

Take all that you've got and flush it down the can

And You just might see Jesus (2x)

(Refrain)

You know Jesus never promised a bed of roses

Unless it was trampled on the ground...

But you're His child

The lost He's found

You've heard it said religion is the opium of the masses

So forget about religion and take up your cross

And follow Jesus (2x)

Get flushed for the King of Kings

Get flushed see the Joy that He brings

Get flushed and learn how to read

And you just might see Jesus (2)

A lament for the death of science, reason, and culture due to the advent of the theory of evolution and the postmodern era.

The Devolution of Man

Entropy will mock you
You who scorn the Truth
And never pull the curtain back
And say that it's no use


For by the Anthropic Principal
The Universe demands
That all of God's Creation
Remains Safely in His Hands


Refrain:
Not with you who take the mark and bite the fruit
Of the Devolution of Man


You used to think God's thoughts after Him
And bow and worship at the awe of His majestic plan
Now you think thoughts for Him
And watch the monkey scratch his can

Monkey see; monkey do
Throw your hands up there's no use
Nothing left to sing about
No one left to Love
(refrain)


What happened to Handel
Or Mozart or Rafael?
Why desecrate the Cross
And turn up the radio?


I'm sorry primate cousins take my head
But I won't go
(refrain)

Psalm 137

This is the most emotional melody that I have ever written.  It is very mysterious and touches upon the entire gamete of emotion.  Don't take it as a song of vengence.  It is not.  Take it as a prophecy.  The little ones to be dashed against the rocks are the followers of the Daughter of Babylon and the Rock is either Messiah or the Temple Mount.  Notice that it is daughter (singular) and not daughters (plural).  This can only point to Mystery Whore Babylon.  Who is the Mystery Whore?  That is the mystery.  She is not the Catholic Church or Islam or America or anyone else like that.  That is too simple and none of those organizations are both evil enough and conniving enough.  No the Whore is the tares that are sewn among the wheat.  She is in every organization and every where on earth.  She rears her head when ever people follow the money or whenever they stop trying to follow God and start trying to be Him.

This is a song of mourning and loss yes.  Maybe it is about the original Babylonian captivity or those killed by Nero or six million Jews being burned alive or 65 million American unborn citizens being burned alive in the wombs of their own mothers.  Maybe it is a personal loss because of sin in the world or just plain life.

Yet it doesn't end there.  The psalm has  a turn which I represent musically by a key change.  This turn comes when we remember YHWH.  When we remember Zion.  When we remember the seed and decide to Love when we ought to hate and care when we ought to give up. 

C         D          C    Em
By the rivers of Babylon
                      D
There we sat down
             C
Yea we wept
                         D        C  Em
When we remembered Zion
                     D
We hung our harps
     C        G   Em
Upon the willows

In the midst of it

G                                D
For those who carried us away
C     Em
Captive
C                    G
Asked of us a Song

                                        D
And those who plundered us
      C         Em
Requested mirth
            C       D              G
Saying sing us one of the Songs
     Em
Of Zion!

C                  D                    G
How will we sing YHWH's Song
C       D      Em
In a foreign land?

C     D            C            Em
If I forget you oh Jerusalem
                   D
Let my right hand
                C
Forget it's skill
           D         C        Em
If I do not remember you

Let my tongue cling
           C              G
To the roof of my mouth
Em               C           Em
If I do not exalt Jerusalem
    D                  C
Above my chief joy.

     G               A
Remember O YHWH
     C                       D
Against the Sons of Edom
C
The day
D            Em
Of Jerusalem

Who said,
Destroy it, Destroy it!
C                       D
To it's very foundation
C                       D
Oh daughter of Babylon
         C                     Em
Who are to be destroyed

      D         C
Happy the one
             G                          A
Who repays you as you've served us

C               D
Happy the one
          G               C
Who dashes your little ones
     D          Em
Against the rock!

You are Love

D     A   G                       A
You are Love beyond all reason
        D                   G
And Hope beyond degree
                             A
And maybe just to prove it
                 G                         D
You came down and died for me

D     A G                     A
And I wish that I were like a child
        D              G
That only knew Your Love
                          A
And didn't understand it
            G                 D
But received it like a hug

D      A   G                     A
Then I'd wrap my arms around this world
         D              G
Like You did at the Cross
                                A
And gave rest to the weary
            G                 D
And Salvation to the Lost

D    A     G           A
For Your Love exceeds the power
      D                     G
Of hatred, lead, or steel
                                A
And even overcame the grave
               G                         D
So Your Truth could be revealed

D    A  G                A
And if Dr King first had a dream
    D                        G
I guess I've got one too
                                                A
That all the world would know Your Love
               G                    D
And just give their life to You

D     A   G
You are Love!

Fulfillment of Prophecy

I prophesied at the beginning of this year that there would be an east wind.  There has been an unprecedented number of tornadoes this year that have done great damage.  I prophesied that the tides would rise.  Most of the Midwest has been under water for a week or so.  I prophesied that a love of wine and oil (aka pleasure and materialism) would result in a rising cost of bread and water.  I explained that this was a physical manifestation of a spiritual lack of spiritual bread and spiritual water.  Now all of these things are happening.  There is one more thing that will happen.  This judgment will result in National revival of more than 50 thousand people.  This is already scheduled to occur as I heard on Trinity Broadcast Network last evening (Friday June 20 2008).

I am getting used to being laughed at and run out of churches.  Laugh at me, fine, but do not laugh at Jesus (Yeshua) because He is coming back soon.  Sooner than you are ready for.  He promises that if you beat and abuse those over whom you are in authority that He will come on a day when you are engaged in this activity and tear you in peices  (Luke 12:45-46).  Isn't this what we are doing as Americans when we are drunken on our materialism, power, and pride and abusing the other 2 thirds of the world? 

America we must stop the murder of 5000 unborn per day.  We must stop the mass eugenics and mistreatment of homeless people which I have seen with my own eyes and experienced first hand.  We must stop the mass drug and alcohol use of legal and illegal narcotics.  We must stop the materialistic mammon worship.  We must stop basing policy on pseudo science derived from a misinformed notion that we are evolved from monkeys.  We must repent from this false religion and pseudo science which is part of the mystery whore Babylon.  We must stop the sexual immorality and pornography that has led to the degeneration of marriage to the point where homosexual union is considered legal and normal.  If I am not a prophet and I am not right about these things then how did I know what would happen in 2008 before it happened?

Laugh at me but do not laugh at Jesus (Yeshua).  Answer The Call.  August 16, 2008 at Washington Mall.  Be there in Spirit and in Truth.  You heard me plea the Blood over America in the song In America?.  It is this Blood shed by Yeshua the Messiah on the Tree of Galgotha that can set this nation free.  How can you stand for a Nation if you yourself are sinking in the mire?  Your hope is the same, the Blood.  Receive it now it's as simple as ABC.

On Judgment

Why do we fear judgment so?  A judgment can be good and righteous if it is made by a good and righteous judge.  A judgment can be the end of the world or the beginning of a new life.  With one word and the pound of a gavel an entire course of life can change for the better or the worse.

So it is with the prophesy that I gave in the song When the East Wind Blows.  When the statement is made, "When the judgment comes..."  It has not been people that have been judged.  It has been property.  I see so many touching stories on TV of Midwesterners banning together in name of Yeshua.  One woman said, "I don't know why God did this to me but I will ALWAYS follow Him."  She showed the nation that we don't need our materialistic idols.  That is what we need to show.  It hurt her to loose everything that she owned but she still had her Messiah.  She blessed me so much when I heard her say what she said on the TV.

Later I saw some guys rescuing a baby fawn.  With so much property damage all around they took time to save a helpless deer.  What a demonstration of Love!  The judgment that YHWH has brought to America is going to bring revival.  I can feel it and see it through spiritual eyes of faith.

I am sorry for the losses that people have had this year but I am blessed if I see revival.  I love America and it's high time we got back to being who we were meant to be.  One of God's chosen.

Likewise if you do not know the Messiah then judgment is not the same for you.  When you lose everything then you will be left alone with nothing to hold on to.  Yet the Messiah is calling out to you.  If you will answer the Call then He will show you what is better than stuff.  It's as easy as ABC.  Send me an email if you want to talk about it michaelholliranck@yahoo.com.  God loves you.

Outstretched Still

America
I warned you not to go this way
America
My little lamb has gone astray
America
I wait for you
With Outstretched Arms

Will Your List of idols hear your cries
Or will they cry out to you for more oil
And all the while my jealous Blood begins to boil
With Love for you
With Love for you

America
I warned you not to go this way

Chapter 2 : Not Hide and Seek but Pray and Seek

In the garden Adam and Eve hid themselves from their Creator, because of their sin, but thanks be to YHWH, because of the atoning sacrifice of His Son, Yeshuah the Messiah, we are able to come boldly before His throne of Grace.  I tend to think of my relationship with Messiah in terms of a marriage and this allegory has a very strong scriptural basis ().  With that being said, it is common sense that a marriage without communication is a rocky one.  The Messiah ought to be consulted on any matter that would be appropriate to consult a best friend or a spouse.  This is the essence of prayer.  It is a continual dialog between the betrothed, believer, and Messiah, the Bridegroom.  Prayer is not speaking to the air.  It is a dialouge.  When you pray expect answers.  More often than not the one who ought to be silent is the human half of this arrangement but there are times when Messiah will say nothing other than, "Be still."

Enter into the Closet

A marriage that is in public only is no marriage at all.  Imagine a bride who flaunted her husband at every public opportunity being careful to be seen on his arm in front of all the right people.  Out and about she says exactly the right things to draw notice to herself and just who it is to whom she is wed.

At home though like a chameleon she changes color.  Cold and frigid as a reptilian she gives no affection.  He calls to her and she does not answer him.  He reaches a hand toward her and she pulls away.  He is forced to endure the pretense of love only to daily face the reality of a romance grown icy or a marriage that bears all the outward signs of being vital but in reality it never has been.

Like a marraige, away from the public eye in the privacy and confines of the human heart is where intimate relationship with Messiah takes place through prayer.  According to the words of Messiah:

And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites.  For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men.  Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward.  But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.

Matthew 6:5,6

It is alone with out anyone other than Messiah that prayer becomes personal.  This is where it is discovered what hinders relationship.  This is where the decision is made to draw closer to Messiah or take chances with presumptuous sin.  This is most assuredly where the Prayer of Examination is prayed.  King David is most remembered for modeling this prayer with his utterance, "...See if there be any wicked way in me and lead my in the way everlasting" (Psalm 139:23,24).  In order to preserve intimacy with Messiah this prayer is essential.  It is painful.  It always has been painful and it will be painful.  However it is also necessary.  The Prayer of Examination invites Messiah to purge idolatry and clear out the heart.  The Prayer of Examination invites the refining process.  This is the process by which YHWH uses difficulty in order to expose sin and bring about excellence.

It is also in the closet that prayer of repentence is prayed.  The Prayer of Examination leads to the Prayer of Repentance.  Psalm 32  is all about the Prayer of Repentance.  The Prayer of Repentance is more than a confession of sin coupled with a vain promise to quit sinning.  Instead it is invitation on the part of the believer extended to Messiah to teach understanding of why this sin is so wrong.  It is an invitation for guidance and strength.  It is an admission of personal weakness which concedes, "I can't but you can."  All too often the Prayer of Repentance is seen as negative yet it is really a bitter sweet experience.  Yes, it could be seen as having to give up something but it could also be seen as getting to be liberated from something.  True, it could be thought of as admitting wrong but it also could be considered as discovering righteouness.  It is casting away plastic beads in exchange for spotless diamonds.  It is exchanging darkness for light.  It is abandoning bondage for liberty.  It is favoring truth over a lie.  It is the essence of the Christian Life.

This cycle of examination, refining, and repentance, called transformation, ought to continue throughout the entire life of the believers of Messiah.  The makings of a hypocrite according to Messiah is not about appearance to man but appearance before YHWH.  It is not about the ratio of sinfulness to righteousness or good deeds to bad.  Instead it is about honesty and intamacy.  Where the world suggests to come out of the closet,  Messiah requires us to invite Him in for spring cleaning.  So that a life style of Pray and Seek must of necessity begin and end in the closet.

How to Pray

There is no formula to prayer.  Prayer is conversation and conversation is a natural human characteristic.  Monkeys do not converse well however humans in general have a natural born propensity toward conversation.  Think how much time school teachers spend trying to stop it.  They inevitably fail to keep up with the notes, the sign language, and the lip reading.  To converse is as natural to human beings as breathing and so much so that solitary confinement is affective punishment for breaking ones will.  Likewise, people punish one another with the silent treatment.

This natural sense of communication also extends to prayer.  Since man and woman were created for fellowship with their Creator how to fellowship with him is quite natural.  On the flip, because of sin, there are often impediments to prayer.  These are not natural but are the result of inappropriate attitudes.  It would be too severe to say that these wrong attitudes prevent prayer but they often hinder it's effectiveness.

Effective prayer should begin with faith().  Hebrews 11:6 is emphatic, "without faith it is impossible to please God."  Imagine a conversation that begins, "I don't know if I can trust you but..."  Clearly before it begins the conversation is already in trouble.  Why would anyone confide in someone that could not be trusted?  Likewise, why would anyone respond favorably to not being trusted?

Still, a lack of faith, of necessity, cannot be a show stopper to prayer.  In order to avoid a "catch 22", a plunge must be made.  Such was the case with the man who cried out to Messiah, "Help my unbelief" ().  Additionally there are ways to build faith. Faith comes through reading the Bible ().  Recounting the ways in which YHWH has been faithful leads naturally to faith in Him.  As we are entering the last days it is important to keep a journal or log of YHWH's faithfulness on a personal level.  This can be referenced during times of doubt.  Praise in general builds faith for what is praise but a review of the best qualities of the Almighty.  Assuredly this praise does not have to be in song.  YHWH's goodness could be recounted in lyrical form by a poet ().  It could be recounted as a simple list of "thank yous" ().  It could be stroked on to a canvas or modeled in clay ().  A geek might list every physics formula that brings him comfort ().  If YHWH got gravity right can't He handle the lives of His creation?

Persistance is an important element to prayer ().  In fact James goes as far as to suggest ferverance in prayer ().  Perhaps this persistence is for our benefit rather than for the Most High.  Daniel had asked YHWH for the interpretation of a vision yet it took 21 days of persistent prayer to receive an answer because the daemon in charge of Persia tried to stop the angel who delivered Daniel's answer ().  It is unlikely that persistence somehow "nagged" YHWH into doing  as Daniel desired but it is more likely that persistence kept Daniel watching for the answer.

Instant readiness is a proper attitude for prayer ().  This attitude grows as relationship continues.  Essentially it must be possible to talk to YHWH about anything without hesitation.  Certainly end times will require this.  One of the greatest hindrances to instant readiness is unforgiveness.  This could be towards YHWH, towards another, or towards self.  Irregardless it causes hesitation in prayer.  Should the need arise to pray for another there will not be time in the last days to ponder whether he deserves prayer.  Prayer must be instantly provided.  There will not be time to grapple with whether you want to talk to a "cruel Eloheem" who has caused harm, pain, or injustice.  These things will come.  They have been warned of before hand ().  They are no the fault of the Creator but of sin.  There will not be time to stew with false humility or self pity.  What has been done has been done.  The focus should be on Messiah and not on self ().

Good prayers ought to be sober and effectual as opposed to silly and frivolous ().  This is not the say that the miraculous ought to be discounted.  The power of YHWH is not in question.  What makes a prayer sober is that it is in line with what Messiah desires ().  Another way to think about it is to consider whether the fulfillment of the prayer would really bring about any good.  Often people pray for a million dollars but such prayers are seldom manifested because they are silly and would probably do more harm than good.

Often if a prayer is silly or frivolous consider the true need.  In praying for a dead loved one to be raised what is probably more sober is healing especially if the loved one is known to be with Messiah.  In praying for money what is more sober might be provision or protection.

The scriptures make many references to unity in prayer ().  In fact before the early church was given the "go ahead" to begin evangelizing the first century world they were required to linger until they were in one accord ().  In end times there will not be time for quibbling and bickering between family members or fellow believers ().  When prayers are to be made consensus must be reached and quickly.

Yes, it is true that lines of authority are useful in obtaining unity.  Children must trust their parents judgment ().  Wives must submit to their husbands ().  Men ought to greatly consider the leadership of the fellowship to which a family belongs ().  Also those in authority ought to be willing to listen to the legitimate needs of their flock and improvise plans accordingly ().  Ultimately the authority who brings unity is Yeshuah the Messiah ().

In order for a group of believers to reach any kind of consensus on petitions being made in prayer each and every member of the group must have a vital prayer life.  This means they must be in continual fellowship with Messiah.  They must constantly seek His face so that coming together they will already begin coming into agreement.

If unity is still difficult then it is written that, "The lot causeth contentions to cease, and parteth between the mighty" (Proverbs 18:8).  It is also written that, "The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the LORD (Proverbs 16:33).  It is likely not wise to settle disputes with a vote since there is no biblical model for this.  Although we are all accustomed to democracy it is not well suited to crises situations nor is it a wise way to determine truth.  In the end however a vote is better than disunity in prayer and certainly better than apostasy.

Obviously the authority on which decisions ought to be based is the written scriptures.  Determining a good translation is beyond the scope of this book.  However a few translations that are acceptable are KJV, NKJV, and NIV.  Not all translations are created equal and some are outright heresy.  The authority of scripture trumps any pastor.  It trumps the man of the house.  It precludes the casting of lots and it is greater than any majority.

Regardless there will be disagreement as to it's meaning and this can be minimized be each and every member of the group having a vital prayer life.  Additionally if a group member is constantly at odds with the rest of the group perhaps he is not wrong but only in the wrong group.  Peter and Paul had such a disagreement over adherence to ceremonial law ().  Neither was wrong.  Peter had the right answer for the Jews and Paul had the correct answer for the Gentiles.  Both understood that ceremonies don't bring redemption.

Inseperable from unity is submissiveness which is also a indispensable tenet of a successful prayer life ().  The book of Ephesians speaks much of submissiveness.  The key to this is love and having the mindset of Messiah according to Philippians 2:1-11.  I John says, "How can you love God whom you have not seen if you do not love your brother who you have seen?" ()  Submissiveness comes easy where there is love.  When there is not love following the guidelines of the book of Ephesians can provide an atmosphere conducive to submissiveness in which love can grow.  John 15 is an allegory where Messiah describes Himself as a vine in which all who abide will bear the fruit of love.  The beginning of all submissiveness is to submit to Messiah which will result automatically in the submission to all who ought to receive deference.

Also related to submissiveness and unity is having authority.  Without it prayer is not only hindered but really not even possible.  Authority comes in the name of Yeshuah the Messiah.  Because He is the Son of YHWH, He is all powerful and all things are under His feet.  All of these same rights and privileges are passed to His followers individually.  This is a great power with a catch.  It's a bit like a Power of Attorney.  With the name of Yeshua you can do anything as long as He wants you to do it.  So with His name a believer may pray anything that he wants prayed.  Although there are limits this truly is close to being a blank check drawn on the account of the Most High already signed by His Son.

Messiah said, "I do nothing of myself but the will of the Father that I do" ().  Likewise He said, "...The Comforter...will testify of me" ().  The Comforter is another name for the Spirit of God.  He is also called the Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost.  In Hebrew He is called the Qedosh Ruwach.  The Ruwach indwells the believer as a seal, that is a bit like an engagement ring, that guarantees that Messiah will return for him ().  The Ruwach also instructs the believer in day to day life (which will be explained later in this chapter).  In order to act with proper authority requires the believer to join the Ruwach in testifying of Messiah who is demonstrating the will of the Father.  So prayer has a lot more to do with listening that it does talking.  Since it is essentially asking YHWH for the things that He wants you to ask of Him.

In many ways prayer is like a short article my wife read from Victoria magazine which stated, "When taking tea with the Queen don't worry about what to say she will guide the conversation" ().  So Messiah has guided us with His model prayer known as the Lord's Prayer.

The Lord's Prayer began with acknowledgement.  It began, "Our Father who are in heaven" ().  This opening signifies a mindset of knowing to whom is being spoken.  The Father would not be Sophia, Dianna, Zeuss, Allah, or any of the other pantheon of false gods to include Lucifer.  This simple acknowledgment of knowing to whom is spoken will be exceedingly more important in end times as idolatry grows exponentially like a cancer.

Likewise the acknowledgment continues with "hallowed be thy name" ().  Hallowed which is related to the Hebrew "Qadesh" means pronounced clean.  This is a title of recognition which demonstrates the one spoken to is in a class with other.  Things that set Him apart are that, He is Creator and He is Love.  He alone is Pure.  He alone is the Qedosh Yishra'el.  Although it need not be spelled out all explicitly at each and every prayer.  It really must be decided in the heart to who is spoken before prayer begins.

The prayer then leads into surrender.  The next line being, "Thy Kingdom Come.  Thy will be done" ().  This is the appropriate mindset.  There has been a predetermination that the plans of the Father are right and therefore it is pointless to try to change them.  The true objective is to realize them.

Following this is a request for provision for both physical and spiritual nourishment.  The supplication is to, "Give us this day our daily bread" ().  These six simple words will be uttered in so many ways during these coming times as it becomes apparent that the normal sources of nourishment will not be available.  People will be forced to recognize who the source is.  Failing to realize this will most assuredly result in spiritual and/or physical mortality.  For many, who are starving or dissatisfied with their spiritual  and/or physical bread, will realize that they are hard pressed to blame the Father for not providing, a provision for which they did not ask ().  Bosses and pastors do not feed the sheep the Father does ().

Continuing on the prayer turns towards repentance coupled with a request for forgiveness.  The words are, "Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors" ().  There is an implication here, as is so many places stated in scripture, that un-forgiveness on the part of the petitioner can inhibit forgiveness on the part of the Father ().

Although the word on the street is, "getting even", this can never really be accomplished.  All attempts at vengeance lead to a cycle of never ending dissatisfaction.  It can never be enough until the Cross is remembered.  Every debt has been paid by the brutal execution of Messiah ().  Golgotha was meant to be the Universal Punishment for all sin.  If it is not received what other punishment is there?  Will Messiah come down and be crucified all over again ()?  In order to accept  that His sacrifice is sufficient for personal sin, it must be acceptable for all sin.  To not accept this sacrifice is to deem the Son of YHWH unworthy ().  This is an all or nothing proposal.

During the last days there will be betrayals by loved ones, family, and friends ().  There will be no end to the murder, sin, and pain ().  It is imperative to settle the issue of Universal Forgiveness in the heart now because the time is short and the days are evil.  Survival hinges on an attitude like that of Elizabeth Elliot who preached the Gospel to the very ones who murdered her husband.  She knew more than most how hard the words of Messiah came, when He said, "Father forgive them , for they know not what they do."

Immediately following the petition for repentance is a petition for protection.  "Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.", are the words of the request ().  In the last days there is no calling the police when it is the police from whom deliverance is needed.  There is no help from the government and many religious leaders will be false teachers ().  Even the members of your own house will be your enemy ().  Psalm 88 reads like the events of every day life.  As with all manner of provision it is essential to determine in the heart, now, who the source of all protection is for YHWH Sabaoth is His Name.  He is the Captain of the Hosts and with a word He calls down ten thousand angels ().

Still it is difficult for any general to protect a soldier who takes unnecessary risks.  So when a request is made, "Lead me not into temptation", the implication is that this General's lead must be followed.  "Pet sins" should be quickly abandoned as end times will be a dangerous time to try to obtain cigarettes, beer, or pornography.  There will be no room for materialism when daily bread is scarce.  Adultery means more relationships which could be treacherous and which will definitely cause greater seditions.  Idolatry causes confusion at a time when one General must be followed or abandoned.  In these days leading toward the last there is no time like the present to choose!

After asking for protection from the Father His power is remembered and surrendered to, yet again, with the utterance, "For thine is the Kingdom, th Glory, and Power.  Forever and ever" ().  What a total relief t know!  The universe is completely in the hands of the Father and no one needs to have absolute responsibility for their own life.  It is perfectly acceptable to surrender to the Father anything past human understanding and even required.  This surrender is to the Father, who has the Power to act and furthermore that the Power lasts for eternity.

Such trust could be terrifying were it not earned.  However This trust is earned.  It has been confirmed.  In the opening of the prayer.  He is referred to as the Father and therefore he who prays it is a son or daughter.  Furthermore His dedication was confirmed by His willingness to lay down His own life and His Power by His resurrection from the dead.  He can!  He does and He will!

The prayer ends with agreement as the word, "Amen", is derived from a Hebrew acronym meaning, "So be it" ().  No change has come on the part of the timeless Father who changes not ().  The petition has agreed to allow the Father to do what He has determined to do since before time began which is to Love His creation.

Section I : Relationship with Eloheem

Chapter 1 : Trading Your Cotton Socks for Wool

Amongst the throng of backpackers there is almost universal acceptance that wearing cotton socks while hiking any significant trail especially during cool or damp weather is something that only a newbie or a wanna-be-hiker would do.  Therefore backpackers have taken to calling these novices, "Cotton Socks", in much the same way that military men call newly enlisted recruits rainbows, slicks, or skeeters.

Nearly all books on the subject of backpacking contain some discourse to the importance of woolen socks on the trail and yet invariably some greenhorns will try to beat the odds and wearing, nothing but cotton socks and a Booey Knife attempt to hike the Appalachian Trail alone in the dead of winter only to be discovered in the spring by the rangers as a pile of bones scavenged off of by the wolves for the whole of winter.

In the military the phrase, "It's the little things that will ding you.", was drilled into us daily from the moment we stepped off the bus in Lackland until the day we hung our BDU's in the closet for moth food.  So it is with woolen socks.  The only difference between a drowned man and a saved one is whether or not he grabbed the life preserver.  Whether or not a car can be driven at 80 mph is decided by the insignificant turning of a key.  The beginning of World War III begins with the effortless simultaneous turning of two keys by two Butter Bars in the midwest.  Life and death is decided by the pulling of a trigger.  A new life begins and an old life changes because of an interchange that may take no more than five minutes.

Likewise your success or failure at surviving all times including end times hinges upon an act of acceptance that is as simplistic as the changing of cotton socks for woolen (and I unapologetically refer to you, my dear reader, in the second person despite my English teacher's dismay, because this is a personal plea from my heart to yours).  Your success depends upon the acceptance of an offer by your Creator to begin a personal relationship with Himself through the Blood Atoning Sacrifice of His Son.  In Greek His Name is called Jesus Christ.  In Hebrew His Name is called Yeshuah the Messiah.

Although it seems to go without saying that a relationship between creature and Creator is as natural as the relationship between father and son, the relationship between the Creator and all of His creation was abruptly severed by the idolatrous taking of the Fruit of Conscience by Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden ().  This little thing dinged all of humanity beginning with expulsion from the Garden of Eden and reaching it's consummation at the Battle of Armageddon where the blood shed will be as deep as a horses bridle ().  Death is always the end of sin ().

So as offspring from Adam and Eve your separation from your Creator was as inevitable as mine.  Beginning with the birth we contained the innate desire to sin passed to us by our parents and from the moment that we knowingly committed evil our relationship with our Creator was severed.  From the time that you knowingly lied about another, stole, dishonored your parents, wanted something that wasn't yours, worked on the Sabbath, called Jesus name without wanting Him, or made a false god with your hands then you became separated from your Creator and in need of relationship with Him.

Your severed relationship with Him grew into an emptiness which you vainly tried to fill.  One way that you may have tried was by attempting to impress Him with good works or ceremonies but this will not succeed ().  Another way that you may have attempted to repair this brokenness was by looking within but you only found more brokenness and emptiness ().  Also you may have sought pleasure and escape but it will only lead to bondage and destruction and inevitable emptiness ().  You may have tried controlling your environment through technology, majick, psychology, or other means but your own-self you could not control ().  You may have sought to ignore Him by denying His existence much like a child saying, "la... la... la... I can't hear you!", but the emptiness and sense of longing was too great and too real ().  In fact you were created for relationship and you are far too intelligent and far too valuable to deny it any longer!

Jesus Loves you and so the Passion.  The Passion is the name given to the string of events leading up to the Crucifixion of Messiah.  Messiah was neither Crucified by Jew nor Greek.  He was Crucified by all of us and none of us.  Do you think that the Son of YHWH could be killed without allowing Himself to be?  He was killed by Love.  He was slain by Passion.  It was by His Passion for us all.  Passion is what is required to restore any broken relationship.

The Cross satisfied several key ingredients for the restoration of the relationship between you and your Creator.  Firstly it was an unquestionable display of Passion which forever dispelled the lie told by the serpent in the Garden of Eden that we are not loved by our Creator and that He wishes to keep us from knowledge that makes us divine.  Secondly it proves that knowledge did not make us divine because Messiah rose from the grave and could not be killed by men.  Thirdly it provided justice for our sins because if anyone asks why you were not punished for your sin then you simply point to the Cross.  Fourthly it provided judgment for Satan because his lie in the Garden led to the death of YHWH's own Son.  Fifthly it provided you with Hope because if YHWH could raise His Son from the grave then He can do the same for us all.  Sixthly that all covenants are sealed with blood even a marriage covenant by the blood of a virgin bride.  Seventhly that it satisfied the stripping away of the flesh as Jesus body was killed and replaced with the Glorified body at the resurrection.  So for these reasons and many more that need not be understood it was necessary for Messiah to die so that we might live.

Yet just as you need not understand the inner workings of an internal combustion engine in order to drive a car but only how to turn a key, likewise you need not understand the Doctrine of Propitiation in order to be saved but simply ask your Creator for relationship through the Atoning Sacrifice of His Son.

The most beautiful and destructive of all life changing events begin and end with a word.  If you take away all of the decoration, celebration, and ceremony of a wedding you essentially have something akin to the wedding scene from the movie Brave Heart where William Wallace and his young bride essentially say to one another, "I will love you and no other".  With the utterance of those simple words they were joined forever.  Yet we live in a society that does not appreciate the power of words.  We often mispeak.  We often lie.  So you must be careful that you speak from the heart what is truth but essentially the words that reconnect us with our Creator are: "For the salvation of my soul I will trust Yeshuah the Messiah and no other."

Like the turning of the key that starts a car there are obviously processes occurring under the hood that you may not understand but to you it is simply the turning of the key.

How is it that something so simple was continually stated by Messiah to be so difficult?  For example it was said, "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter heaven" ().  It was stated, "Unless your righteousness exceeds that of the Pharisees you will by no means enter the Kingdom of Heaven" ().  It was said, "Consider the cost of building a tower." ().  Essentially this is because the two most difficult couplets in the English language to say are: "I'm Sorry" and "I do."  For the rich man to receive the Gift of Grace he must give up trusting in his riches and say to Messiah, "I will trust in You and no other."  For a self righteous person to enter the Kingdom, he must say to Messiah, "I am a white sepulcher with dead man's bones inside and I will trust in Your Righteousness and no other."  Another way to think of it is that you must make the decision to drive the car rather than walk.  The road to heaven is not a road that you can walk.  Messiah must carry you and you must ask Him to do so.

Summary

In summary coming into a relationship with your Creator is the only way to survive end times.  It is the only way to survive all times.  A life lived apart from your Creator is a wasted life.  Continuing a path apart from your Creator will result in an exceedingly strained relationship and eventual eternal separation of perpetual torment in a lake of fire and brimstone with the rest of His enemies.  Yet restoring this relationship is as easy as ABC.

Accept that you are a sinner, separated from your Creator and in need of redemption from hell.

They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

Psalms 14:3

And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.  And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him,  Where are thou?

Genesis 3:8-9

The wicked will be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.

Psalms 9:17

Believe in your heart that Yeshua is the Messiah, the Son of your Creator.  He paid the penalty for your sin on the Cross and He rose up from the grave triumphing over death and hell.

See Appendix A for a list of Messianic Prophecies fulfilled by Yeshuah.

According to Michael Brown, a Jew who has received Yeshuah as Messiah, "There's a rabbinic tradition preserved in the Talmud that says on the Day of Atonement there were three different signs that the animal sacrifices the high priest offered had been accepted by God and atonement given to the nation.  In the years when the signs would come up negative, the people would be ashamed and morn, because God had not accepted their sacrifice."

Then it says that during the last forty years before the second temple was destroyed, all three signs were negative each and every time.  Think about that: Jesus probably was crucified in AD 30, and the temple was destroyed in AD 70.  So from the time of his death to the time of the destruction of the temple - a period of forty years - God signaled that he no longer accepted the sacrifices and offering of the Jewish people.  Why?  Because final atonement had been made through Yeshua, just as he had prophesied."  (Strobel 201)

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romans 6:23

Confess that Yeshuah is the Messiah the Son of your Creator and you receive the Grace that He offers through His death and ressurection.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue : and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

Proverbs 18:21

And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.

Joel 2:32

For thou, Lord good, and ready to forgive; and plentious in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.

Psalm 86:7

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.  For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Romans 10:9,10

Many find it useful to make this confession in the form of a prayer popularized by Billy Graham called the sinners prayer.  It goes something like this:

Father, forgive me, a sinner worthy of hell.  Wash me in the Blood of  the Lamb, Yeshuah the Messiah.  Receive me, just as I am without one plea but that thy Blood was shed for me.  In the Name of Your Son Yeshua the Messiah I pray.  So be it.

Now What?

Now welcome to the family.  I wish I could say that things would now be easier but in fact they won't.  We are living in a dark age and things are getting darker all of the time which is what prompted you to read this book to begin with.  For one thing the family that you are now a part of is made up of many varieties of "black sheep" all trusting in Messiah for their salvation, just as you have.  So you are likely to meet some unlikable people as you reach out.  I encourage you to do so anyway.  Contained in Appendix B are the mainstream Christian doctrines that make up the core of Christian beliefs.  You ought to begin your new relationship by familiarizing yourself with these doctrines and by joining a local fellowship of believers that aligns themselves with these doctrines.

The first command Messiah gives us as new believers is to be baptized ().  Baptism is essentially being dunked under water in front of the church as an outward sign that you are washed of your sin.  Baptism is a happy time of rejoicing.  Many churches follow a baptismal service with a dinner or a get together.  Baptism is the first step in obedience to Messiah and therefore essential to getting this relationship off on the right foot.

In order to understand more of the Bible most new believers are encouraged to begin by reading the Gospel of John which is considered the most "user friendly" of the Gospels.  It provides a good starting point for the teachings of Messiah and allows its readers to experience the humanity of Messiah better than other Gospels.

In order to answer doubts you may experience you should consider the epistle of I John.  This epistle, which was primarily written for the purpose of exposing false gnostic doctrines, is a good source material for discerning between a true or false conversion experience.

As you read these scriptures don't panic.  Use a Strongs Exhaustive Concordance to check the original meaning of words.  Always ask questions of other more seasoned followers of YHWH and His Son Yeshuah the Messiah especially if you find anything that you learn scary or strange.  Inevitably you will have found at least ten other believers who have had similar questions at some point during their spiritual growth.

Also this book will guide you in your spiritual journey and help you, my dear reader, to grow strong in the three areas of your life including: spiritual, emotional, and physical.  So that you can, "...Be ready for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect" (Matthew 24:44).

Barney is the Anti-Christ!  I know it's hard to believe but my numerology is unmistakable.  Likewise the Internet has been buzzing about it for some time.  Where it is true that these claims are not shared by respected eschatologists the Bible clearly teaches that the fools of this world will confound the wise.

If you begin by first transliterating his name into the Greek that language of the Revelator, as Âáñíéå and continue by subscribing a numeric equivalent according to lexicographical order you achieve 2-1-17-18-9-5.  Obviously the sum of those numbers is 52.  The sum those digits is 7.  Multiplying this by 6 we find our first encoded 6 and achieve a product of 42.  The sum of those digits is 6.  Multiplying this by 6 we discover our second encoded 6 and obtain the product of 36.  Clearly the sum of these digits is 9.  Taking 9 together with 6 we obtain the product of 54 and discover our third and final encoded 6.  We recognize that we have reached the final 6 because the sum of 5 and 4 is again 9, representing a loop terminator which every good hacker knows marks the end of a linked list.  Barney is the Anti-Christ.

As if that's not conclusive evidence then consider some other facts.  As prophesied in I Thessalonians 5:3, Barney is constantly promising peace only to have it swept away by the sudden destruction wrought by toddlers who know how to rewind.  Barney is clearly a beast not unlike described in Revelation 12 as a dragon.  Whenever the evil dragon opens his mouth a flood of ghastly and I might add phony happiness comes most often in the form of the "I Love You" song.  Thankfully and by the Grace of God the earth opens it's mouth and swallows up that horrid noise usually with the ringing of the telephone.  Lest unsuspecting stay at home moms and sometimes dads be drawn in to renounce Christ and take the mark just so they can go to hell where they can have a little more peace and quiet.

Further more there's that nose.  Revelation 17:9 has constantly been interpreted to represent that Anti-Christ would be of Roman descent.  I think it would be fair to assume that purple or not that nose is as Roman as Caesar.

There is no need to fear however according to Daniel 7:22 Barney's days are numbered.  Jesus has placed all things under His feet and when He who is in the Hebrew called Yeshuah the Messiah returns then Barney will meet his end as will this terrible scholarship!

Without   saying we know that the claim of Barney as Anti-Christ is felacious.  I make no claim endorsing or renouncing the quality or morality of the purple entertainer but I guarantee you that he is not the Anti-Christ.

Sadly such scholarship is not limited to my poor attempts at comedy.  In fact history is replete with wild speculation as to the identity of Anti-Christ and also outlandish deception of the same.  Most commonly the objective of these has been to quite literally demonize a political adversary.  The bizarre truth is that this has been extremely effective.  The adage that a sucker is born everyday seems to be true.  At least there are enough people, who are not willing or able to accomplish the required scholarship to debunk these plethora or claims, to generate enough public opinion needed in order for these less than scrupulous individuals to succeed.

Therefore I have determined not to insult the intelligence of my readers by adding to the ever growing list of false Anti-Christ claims requiring debunking.  Instead I choose to obey with my heart the command given by Yeshuah the Messiah during the Olivet Discourse (Matthew 24:44) where he charges His followers to watch for His return.  In fact the importance of searching for Anti-Christ pales next to the importance of looking for Messiah.  Anti-Christ is only mentioned in Scripture a little less than two dozen times and usually as a concept of continual attempts by Messiah's enemies to lead His lambs away from search for relationship into a search for knowledge.  Scripture does also clearly point to Anti-Christ as an individual who embodies the culmination of all evil but his focus is quite limited like a passing fad or a pimple on the face of eternity.  In fact he is referred to at one point as "He Who Was and Is Not" (Revelation 17:8).

By contrast Messiah is referred to as "He Who Is, and Was, and Is to Come" (Revelation 1:8).  Likewise Messiah is the central theme of the entirety of all scripture in stark victory over Anti-Christ.  Furthermore Messiah is the central figure of the Universe itself which was created by Him and for Him (Hebrews 1:2).

So join me as we prepare to, "...be ready for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect." (Matthew 24:44).

Wedding Song of the Lamb

D                  C
It started with a sacrifice
                             D
That paid the price for our sin
                       C
The day my First Love called my name
                       D
Then gave me Life with in
F                  C
I had never known Perfect Love
G
Until you loved me
D                 C
You who are the Prince of Peace
                D
Forever may You Be

D                     C
You called our Father Abraham
                    D
You Promised Him a land
                            C
That men have seen through eyes of faith
                          D
Lions that lie down with lambs
F                         C
A thousand years of Your Perfect Peace
G
Like this world has never known
D                                 C
Your Spotless Bride Blooms like flowers of spring
                   D
Reserved for You alone

A       G            A
Who is like you Yeshua
A      G       A
Worthy is the Lamb
                              A
You Lion and Heir to Heavens Throne
              G   D
Prevailed to overcome

D                      C
Eyes that burn with a flame of fire
                           D
Your Hair as white as the snow
                        C
Face brighter than the shining sun
                      D
Cause the nations to know
F                       C
You will reign in Your Holiness
G
You will reign in Your Love
D                    C
We will rest in the confidence
                        D
Of the redeemed who say so

On a certain day Jesus shattered the predjudices of the day by asking a Samaritan woman for a drink of water.  Yet it was not a drink that he was after but rather the opportunity to offer to her a better "Living Water".  There is a Living Water and to drink it means to never thirst again.  What have you been drinking?  Does it quench your thirst?  Try God's Word!  After His Word became flesh and dwelt among us, His Word demonstrated His great Love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for the ungodly.  Now His Word sits at His right side.  He is that "Living Water" if you just believe.

We Go to the Well

Praise Your Name Jesus

I want to praise your name Jesus

I want to hail you as King

Come in my heart Lord Jesus

I give up everything

Jesus my Lord and Master

Ris'n with healing in His wings

I give up everything

One day You'll come back triumphant

And Your Bride You'll fitfully wed

All of creation will kneel and bow

The Angels the quick and the dead

You are the Rock of all Ages

You are the Sovereign Head

And all things will be as You've said

The fields will break forth into laughter

The hillsides will echo with song

All things will know Your value Lord

And unto whom they belong

For with Your Blood bought redeem-ed

There could be found no wrong

Those who were thine all along

the mp3 and chords for this worship song will come shortly.
