I hear Your love so clearly
A whisper deep within
A reverberating echo-
A sweet song, luring me in
It ripples through my soul
And shatters my reserve:
Knocking down my walls
And sending life throughout my nerves
This love defies my logic
And confuses common sense
It messes with my knowledge,
And won't take recompense.

I have this overwhelming sense of worship. I can't explain it. Words cannot express. I am trying to find a word that explains a bit of the extent- I don't think such a word exists. I inebriated, drunken, intoxicated, joyous, delirious, ecstatic, mad, obsessed, possessed, filled, overtaken, ravished, undone.
It is a feeling I can't describe- I just know that it is the love of God. So intensely I want God- every minute of every single day! *Nothing else matters*
I feel the movement of God's Spirit in me- I see a dance in my soul. I hear a wordless song that cannot be voiced: it's expression a deep cry from within. A reflection of glory that cannot be fathomed by man. The song that angels sing: the sound of the heavenly anthem.
Hahaha, I see Jesus. He's looking at me, and I'm looking at him. He is holding a cup and it is full of a deep crimson liquid.
He is saying,
"I am the wine
the JOY,
the fullness of bliss
the Ecstasy of Heaven
the madness of men...
...I am JESUS."
Jesus. Full of power and might: the embodiment of heaven, the definition of love.
He is so beautiful. So, so beautiful. I cannot fathom him- my mind is too small for comprehension; he makes me wonder, makes me awed. I try to understand him, but I can't. He loves me beyond anything I can imagine- and my imagination is pretty crazy!
I love him so much!! I can't begin to explain it to people- I just get lost in my search for words. His love has ruined me for any other thing- after being loved by God, how can you feel the love of another, unless it is of God...?
Ahhh. Jesus :D

Awakening in Christchurch
Hi All – this is a email an brother sent out the other morning on October 27 2010 –
Be blessed & Encouraged!
------------
Good Morning, Brothers and Sisters in Christ.
I am emailing you, because I know you to be a Christian or have heard that you are a Christian. I am writing to let you know that the Spirit of God is on the move again in Christchurch.
A prophet named Jason Westerfield, has been in the city and doing some meetings last weekend and God is moving in such a way that he has cancelled his agenda for the next month and is going to do meetings Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights for the next month. There have been a number or miraculous healings, most notably a women with a hole in the heart since birth has been doctor certified as being healed of that condition. Jason loves the Lord and is passionate about encountering him, he has been fully endorsed by Bill Johnson from Bethel and is a credible man of God.
I am not writing to get numbers to meetings or anything of the like, because North City Church (95A Sawyers Arms Rd), is not the church I got to. I am letting you know because when God begins to move it is exciting and not to be missed, ignored or rejected. The meetings are different to a normal church service, because God is coming powerfully, although this time around there seems to be only limited amounts of “shaking and baking”. Whenever the Lord comes he often comes in a way that breaks our religious mindsets, patterns and formulas, so it will challenge you but it is biblically and theologically sound, although some people always get into the flesh at times. This move has a focus on saving souls so is very exciting.
I know that everyone I am writing to are from different denominations and churches but God doesn’t align himself to any denomination or church, they have to align to different parts of his character. So whether you are Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox, Anglican, Presbyterian, Methodist, Baptist, Pentecostal, Charismatic or non-charismatic, we all serve the same God, and at this moment in history he is beginning to move by his spirit again in ChristChurch.
In recent history Christchurch has had several moves of God, and it seems that this is another one on the way. In the 80’s the lord moved powerfully through Murray Robertson at Spreydon Baptist church, in the mid to late 80’s he move through Peter Morrow at City Newlife (now the Majestic Centre) in 1992 he moved in Celebration Centre with Jill Austin and Murray Watkinson, this was before the Toronto blessing that happened in America in 1994.
The Meetings are at North City Church, 95a Sawyers Arms Rd at 6pm, starting 27th October.
Bless you all
Clark.
-----------
Blessings guys, it would be awesome if you could join in prayer and fasting for the revival of Christchurch- on the weekend we got a word specifically for 100,000 souls.
Lets allow a move of God to rise up in all of us.
Love Maddi.
Be blessed & Encouraged!

Beautiful or Not??
Beautiful or Not??
Mirror, mirror on my wall
Can't I be the fairest of them all?
Yet all I see when I turn to you
Is blemishes and ugliness, through and through.
Instead of the strength God has placed in me
A weak, fearful girl is all I see
And the way God sees me; which I know is right
I have thrown in a cupboard, and locked out of sight
I wish I was smaller and had straighter teeth
Cos' I've forgotten true beauty is found underneath
If only the clothes I wear were three sizes too big
Then I'd be pretty, and wouldn't look like a pig.
If my hair wasn't frizzy, and my eyes were more blue
Maybe then when I see you, I'd value me too.
Or if I had talent, and could do something well
Even that might help me get out of this hell.
Because gazing at you and seeing my yucky old self
Is down-right depressing~ it's bad for my health
There's so much I'd change if I just had the choice
Hang on! I'm hearing a new sounding voice....
It's telling me that looks aren't what give me my price
I don't have lesser value cos' my face ain't quite right.
I am God-perfect, and that wins the prize over man
And heck, Jesus ain't phased by my lack of a tan.
The truth is I am beautiful, exquisite, unique
God thinks that I have a gorgeous physique
He told me that I am the apple of His eye
And that the value within me in immeasurably high
So sorry ol' Mirror you've lost this fight
Your lies couldn't hack it, and they went down tonight
Bigger than lies is Jesus, and He lives in me
And when I look to you, He'll be all that I see.
-by Maddi
I thought someone might be encouraged by this- it is a poem I wrote last year about my struggle with accepting myself. I think a lot of girls- and guys- can probably identify with it.
I really pray that God would reveal to you how HE sees you.
May you walk in the identity you have in Jesus- may you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that you are perfect in His eyes- and that is all that matters.
You are the apple of His eye; His beloved; His precious child; His desire. He has placed a crown of splendor on your head- and He has chosen YOU and His love is for you.
You are precious and honoured in His sight- He delights in you. He summons you by name and gives you a title of honour.
He made you and will carry you- He will rescue you. Before you were born He knew everything about you- He wants to display His splendor in YOU.
His unfailing love for you cannot be shaken. He wants to build you with turquiose and sapphire; He is making you to be a crown of splendor in His hand- a priceless jewel.
You are His delight, Beloved.
Sleep in the reassurance that you are His....

JESUS!!
Once again I find myself on the beach seeking my King.
I'm watching the waves arise and then break open with all of their power- and I hear God say, "Revival is going to hit like that: over and over without ceasing; each new wave releasing a greater abundance of power."
The sun had been hiding behind the clouds and just now it came out. I saw it illuminate hundreds of fishing lines along the pier that a moment ago had been concealed. And it was like God speaking to my heart saying that SOON people will see the power of God in a whole new way- the manifest presence & power of God which we have rejected and ignored for so long is beginning to be revealed in an overtly bold way. It won't just be those with eyes open to see and ears open to hear that will experience it- but every single person.
And I speak to myself more than to anyone else: We need to ARISE!
We need to stand up, step up to the mark and be a generation that reveals JESUS to the world- in every aspect of who He is...that means breaking and loosing, healing, cleansing, freeing, releasing....
We CAN'T afford to be settled in complacency- we have to break that off and become desperate. So desperate that we wouldn't hesitate, but would do WHATEVER God requires to reach our Nations, without a second thought.
That like Paul we would be willing to be fools for Christ (heck, we are fools in so many OTHER ways- why can't we be foolish for Jesus?): that like King David we would say, "I would become EVEN MORE undignified than this!"
When will we start to not care about what we look like to others or what they are thinking?
When will we become so starving for God and so hungry to extend Him to the world that we stop at nothing?
I want to say NOW! I want to be a part of a crazy, consumed, desperate, God-thirsty generation that lives Jesus to His world. Every day.
Amen- SO LET IT BE!

You ARE Loved: Emmeline
To Emmeline.
-You ARE Loved-
Little girl, sweetie-pie
Lost and so confused
You don't feel loved and precious
Just hated and ill-used
You think that you can't do right
That you always fail
You blame yourself for others wrath
Your soul is feeling frail
You feel despair, you want to die
You think that'd solve the pain
In your mind you run so free,
But in life you're bound and chained
You lack the hope to pull you through
You slip from the truth of Truth
You are lost within the darkness
Of the deep, black hole you're in.
When you start to feel destroyed
When the enemy's attacks being
Remember Jesus is your Victor;
And Satan cannot win
I know you often feel alone
But this really is not true
Jesus ALWAYS holds you tight-
And this is what He says to you:
"You are so deeply dear to me
You're My beloved and My bride
And this love with which I love you
Binds you closely to My side.
My Daughter it hurts so much to know
You believe this to be true:
That if you do something slightly wrong
I delight in hurting you!
I would never do that My Love
I died so pain can't hold you down
Each thing I do to you is fully good
You live under My smile-not a frown
Please don't doubt My love for you
For it never, ever ends
It washes over you each new day
For you, from Heaven, it I send
I have a book that holds Your story
It's pages tell a plan
But I've left many blanks within-
You'll have to choose if you listen and follow;
Me, the Son of Man."
-by Maddi
"Therefore all those who devour you shall be devoured: And all your adversaries, every one of them shall go into captivity; Those who plunder shall become plunder, And all those who prey upon you I will make a prey. For I will restore health to you, and heal you of your wounds," says the Lord, "and they shall no longer call you an outcast." [jer 30.16-17]
"The Lord will cause your enemies who rise against you to be DEFEATED before your face; they shall come at you one way and flee from you in seven ways." [duet 28.7]
"No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against you in judgement you shall condemn. This is your heritage as a servant of the Lord." [isa 54.17]
Be blessed!

This is MY King!
I read this a few years ago when I was doing my certificates in Bible.
That is MY King. Hallelujah.
He is:
the King of the Jews,
the King of Israel,
the King of all the Ages,
the King of Heaven, the King of Glory,
the King of Kings; and Lord of Lords.
Do you know Him? Do you really?
A prophet before Moses,
A priest after Melchizidek,
A champion like Joshua,
An offering in place for Isaac,
A King from the line of David,
A wise counselor above Solomon,
A beloved/rejected/exalted son like Joseph-
And yet far more...
The Heavens declare His glory...
and the firmament shows His handiwork.
He who is,
who was,
and who always will be;
The First and the Last
He is the Alpha and Omega,
the Aleph and the Tau,
the A and the Z;
He is the first fruits of them that slept.
He is the "I AM that I AM"
The voice of the Burning Bush!
-the Captain of the Lord's Host
-the Conqueror of Jericho
He is enduringly strong;
-entirely sincere
-eternally steadfast
He is immortally graceful;
-imperially powerful
-impartially merciful
In Him dwells the fullness of the Godhead bodily;
The very God of very God.
He is our Kinsman-Redeemer and He is our Avenger of Blood;
He is our City of Refuge;
Our Performing High Priest;
Our Personal Prophet,
Our Reigning King.
He is the loftiest idea in literature,
He's the highest personality in philosophy,
He's the fundamental doctrine of theology,
He's the Supreme Problem in "higher criticism"!
He's the Miracle of the Ages;
the superlative of everything good.
We are the beneficiaries of a Love Letter:
It was written in blood,
on a wooden cross
erected in Judea
2,000 years ago.
He was crucified on a cross of wood;
Yet He made the hill on which it stood.
By Him were all things made that were made;
without Him was not anything made that was made;
By Him all things are held together!
What held Him to that cross?
It wasn't the nails!
(At any time He could have declared, "I'm out of here!")
It was His love for you and me.
He was born of a woman
so that we could be born of God;
He humbled Himself
so that we could be lifted up;
He became a servant
so that we could be made co-heirs;
He suffered rejection
so that we could become His friends;
He denied Himself
so that we could freely receive all things;
He gave Himself
so that He could bless us in every way.
He is available to the tempted and tried;
He blesses the young;
He cleanses the lepers;
He delivers the captives;
He discharges the debtors;
He forgives the sinners;
He franchises the meek;
He guards the besieged;
He heals the sick;
He provides strength for the weak;
He regards the aged;
He rewards the diligent;
He serves the unfortunate;
He sympathizes and He saves!
His Offices are manifold;
His Reign is righteous;
His Promises are sure;
His Goodness is limitless;
His Light is matchless;
His Grace is sufficient;
His Love never changes;
His Mercy is everlasting;
His Word is enough;
His Yoke is easy and His burden is light!
He is indescribable;
He is incomprehensible;
He is irresistible;
He is invincible!
The Heaven of heavens contain Him;
Man cannot explain Him,
the Pharisees couldn't stand Him and they learned they couldn't stop Him;
Pilate couldn't find any fault in Him;
the witnesses couldn't agree against Him.
Herod couldn't kill Him
death couldn't handle Him
the grave couldn't hold Him!
He has always been and He always will be;
He had no predecessor and will have no successor;
You can't impeach Him and He isn't going to resign!
His Name is above every other name;
That at the Name of Yeshua
Every knee shall bow
Every tongue shall confess
That Jesus Christ is Lord!
His is the Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory... for ever, and ever. Amen!
the King of the Jews,
the King of Israel,
the King of all the Ages,
the King of Heaven, the King of Glory,
the King of Kings; and Lord of Lords.

Times of Worship
I felt like I should share some stuff that God spoke to me about during a few worship times. I'll write it exactly as I recieved it...
Tonight I was at Realife at Grace and I was processing the name "Reallife" and started thinking about it and I felt God telling me this..:
"The reality of life isn't the day to day we are so familiar with. It's not the brokeness of our hearts & relationships ~ the reality is Jesus. When we look at Him we will see what is the realness of life- what is actual reality. Jesus. Our Righteousness. He is our reality. What we hold close and dear as valued to us is not the reality of what is most precious ~ Jesus is. The problems we deal with are not the reality of what God has for us ~ Jesus is. Jesus- His truth; His love, is reality. When all else fades and earth turns to dust, none of our former reality remains. Just Jesus- our God and Saviour~ that is the true reality, the reality that is eternal."
I was at Grace a few weeks ago and someone said something. It might have been Ps David, but I think it was someone during worsip- but anyway, the person said, "Do YOU dare to be the one to stand out in the crowd?"-challenging us to stand for God with all that we are... and God gave me this poem from it:
Set yourself apart Child
Go against the flow-
Don't be overrun by men
But STAND and be My own
It may not be the easiest-
Might not gain you friends,
You could become the the brunt of joke
Maybe you'll be slammed
But, for such a little price
Can't you stand with pride,
And shout My Name to all the earth?
Do not be ashamed.
Will you choose to honour Me
Will you proclaim that you're My Child?
Do you dare to be the one
Thats different from the crowd....

Tonight I was at Realife at Grace and I was processing the name "Reallife" and started thinking about it and I felt God telling me this..:
"The reality of life isn't the day to day we are so familiar with. It's not the brokeness of our hearts & relationships ~ the reality is Jesus. When we look at Him we will see what is the realness of life- what is actual reality. Jesus. Our Righteousness. He is our reality. What we hold close and dear as valued to us is not the reality of what is most precious ~ Jesus is. The problems we deal with are not the reality of what God has for us ~ Jesus is. Jesus- His truth; His love, is reality. When all else fades and earth turns to dust, none of our former reality remains. Just Jesus- our God and Saviour~ that is the true reality, the reality that is eternal."
I was at Grace a few weeks ago and someone said something. It might have been Ps David, but I think it was someone during worsip- but anyway, the person said, "Do YOU dare to be the one to stand out in the crowd?"-challenging us to stand for God with all that we are... and God gave me this poem from it:
Stand
Set yourself apart Child
Go against the flow-
Don't be overrun by men
But STAND and be My own
It may not be the easiest-
Might not gain you friends,
You could become the the brunt of joke
Maybe you'll be slammed
But, for such a little price
Can't you stand with pride,
And shout My Name to all the earth?
Do not be ashamed.
Will you choose to honour Me
Will you proclaim that you're My Child?
Do you dare to be the one
Thats different from the crowd....

Yup. And a few weeks back from there I visited the Celebration Centre and God just began speaking to me during worship and so I started writing and God just took hold of my pen and yeh.... :
You took the heavens
And brought it to earth
You took Your glorious Son
And placed Him in me
I am not bound,
Am not restricted.
Grace flows from my soul-
You came to earth
Freed and redeemed me-
Made me all Your own
You took us sinners
Gave us a chance-
You took the broken
Restored them to be whole
All that I have
Every small part
Be Yours alone- all Yours
Your kingdom is here
Ready to explode-
Ready to make Your Name known
Your Blood covers all sin
Expells the destruction
Brings freedom unknown to men
Over and over and over again
You hold me and tell me I'm Yours.
Yeh. Lots of random stuff but I felt like God wanted me to share it with you's.
If anyone is thirsty, let them go to God and drink...
Go and be filled with the power of God and drink in His living water.
Peace be with you.
Blessings,
maddi
