Ballad - First Line of Defense Called

I’m ready,
365 days
Of counting the cost,
As far as I am able to see,
The price I will pay to continue on the journey with Jesus
To gain nothing of this world,
But to see Kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven.

Oh Lord,
Please show me heaven,

I ignore the battle in my mind
And listen to the spirit.
I hear,
It’s time,
It’s time to Go,

My Father see’s me,
He says I’m beautiful,
My Father knows me,
He’s counted every hair on my head,
My Father never leaves me,
He’s sent His comforter to fill every empty place,
My Father never forsakes me,
Because His love never fails,
I am His Daughter,
Daughter of the King

He covers us with the blood of Jesus,
He clothes us in armor,
Helmet of Salvation,
Breastplate of Righteousness,
Belt of Truth,
Sandals of the Gospel of Peace,
The Shield of Faith
And the Sword,
Of the Spirit,

Every moment matters,
We are trained for war,
We are strong,
In body,
In mind,
In spirit,
Because our God is
The Great
I AM

We will be Strong,
We will be Courageous,
We will have Faith,
We are covered in Grace,
Clothed in Righteousness,
Walking with the feet,
The hands,
The voice,
The dance,
The heart,
Of Our,
King Jesus.

We are Ready
We Will Go
I Will Go,
To prepare the way of our Coming King.
Jesus,

He is the Call,
He is the Way,
He is the Light,
He is the Truth,
Our hearts are one with His,
Now
And Forever More.

We love you Lord,
We live to honor you,
We give our lives fully to you,
Take it all,
Leave no bone dry,
Fill us with your living water,
As we serve your Holy Name,
As we honor and glorify you,
In all that we do

Keep our eyes fixed,
On the one and only true God,
King of Kings and Lord of Lords,
We put no other before you,
Our hearts are burning,
A Holy fire,
To make the way for the King,
Lord, let your Glory fall,
That all would be saved,
That all would know your love

We love you,
We love you Lord,
Let our lives be a pleasing sacrifice to you,

Amen

We Must Remember the Cross

Dear Abba,

Lord, I remember that the sacrifice of Jesus Christ is the reason I get to communicate with you, everyday, anytime I ask. It’s the reason all my sins are erased and that I am made a new creation in Christ Jesus. It’s the reason that in the hard times I must look at the joy set before me in my eternal home. Jesus is the reason I have life and I can think of nothing worse than living in separation from my Creator. I must remember the Cross. Every day I must remember the price that was paid on the Cross for my soul to spend eternity with my Creator. I am blessed to be your servant Lord. It is my honor and I am humbled by your mercy God. Nothing that you may ask of me to is too great in comparison to who You are and the price that Jesus paid on the Cross. Thank you Lord for my comforter, my helper, the Holy Spirit whom through your power never leaves me. God I pray that all those called to your Kingdom would come to a greater understanding of this great Love here on earth. I pray for all the martyr’s, who knew the truth of the Cross and held fast to it even until death. God may your Saints be strengthened daily in revelation of your great love. Thank you Lord for sharing your heart with us, Thank you for your incomprehensible Love that never fails.


Love your servant and your daughter,


Alicia Louisa

Romans 5:1-11

Peace with God Through Faith

1Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, wea have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. 2Through him we have also obtained access by faithb into this grace in which we stand, and wec rejoiced in hope of the glory of God. 3More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, 4and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, 5and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.

6For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. 7For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— 8but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. 10For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. 11More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.

Amen

It’s those little moments…

It’s those little moments that make it all worth it.

I never thought I would live a life that I woke up each morning pinching myself, wondering if I was still alive or somehow got transported to another place. Once I realize I am in fact, still on earth my thoughts continue on to a deep wondering if I have completely lost my mind and I am filled with a strange fear, yet before that fear it can even take a grip on my heart, is pushed away by unexplainable yet lovely peace. Then I remember why these strange feelings arise with me in the morning, it all started with the choice I made, a choice, either to stay in safety and comfort, where everything is familiar and feels good, or to venture completely into the unknown. It is at this point that I remember I made the choice to venture into the unknown. I stumble out of bed trying to feel brave, but wanting to run to some sort of safety, wanting to take back my decision, but knowing that I did make the choice that leads to the narrow path, a choice that will echo in eternity, a choice that when I stand on judgement day, I will know that it was right.

Each day is taken a moment at time, when fear tries to grip my heart I can feel the love of my Heavenly Father overcome it. Sometimes He uses the spirit of peace, sometimes He uses Joy, sometimes He uses words from scripture and sometimes He uses people.

I must say, there is nothing that can warm the heart like a conversation with a beloved friend a million miles away. When we are at our weakest moments trying with all our might to be brave, silently whispering the name of Jesus under our breath to give us comfort, and the phone rings with the sweet sound of a familiar voice, it’s like heaven comes crashing down to earth. It’s those little words of encouragement that can break through every discouragement and give us the strength we need to go on.

It’s little moments like that, amist a whirlwind of chaos, that make it all worth it.

Dedicated to anyone who has taken a leap of Faith into the unknown.
