Complete Surrender

In His Hand

by: Amy Colleen Klapp

In his hand;

Forever

Since my beginning;

Until my end

Created like him;

Wonderfully

Designed to worship him;

Fearfully

I am surely my beloveds

And

He is mine

Heavens King calls down

I answer with a sigh

[I must have more of him!

Or I will surely die!]

My LORD, who am I that you gaze upon me;

Opening the windows of Heaven like a curtain?

“You have called, my LORD…I am here.

Your own beloved Hand Maiden.”

Engulfed in heavens light;

Stunned

Beholding heavens hosts;

Awestruck

Swept away in spirit;

Desiring

Taken to my LORD;

Humbled

I am surely my beloveds

And

He is mine

Heavens King takes my hand

Brings me to my feet

Celestial music fills the air

We dance; our eyes they meet

My LORD, who am I that you gaze upon me;

Opening the windows of Heaven like a curtain?

“You have called, my LORD….I am here.

Your Own Amy Colleen.”

Ecclesiastes 5:1-3

Stand in Awe of God

Walk prudently when you go to the house of God; and draw near to hear rather than to give the sacrifice of fools, for they do not know that they do evil.

Do not be rash with your mouth,
And let not your heart utter anything hastily before God.
For God is in heaven, and you on earth;
Therefore let your words be few.
For a dream comes through much activity,
And a fool’s voice is known by his many words.
When you make a vow to God, do not delay to pay it;
For He has no pleasure in fools.
Pay what you have vowed—
Better not to vow than to vow and not pay.

Do not let your mouth cause your flesh to sin, nor say before the messenger of God that it was an error. Why should God be angry at your excuse and destroy the work of your hands? For in the multitude of dreams and many words there is also vanity. But fear God.

What does LOVE look like?

Misty Edwards

What does love look like? is the question Ive been pondering
What does love look like?
What does love look like? is the question Ive been asking of You
Once believed that love was romance, just a chance
I even thought that love was for the lucky and the beautiful
I once believed that love was a momentary bliss, but love is more than this
All You ever wanted was my attention
All You ever wanted was love from me
All You ever wanted was my affections to sit here at Your feet and tell me
What does love look like? is the question Ive been pondering
What does love look like? If all of life comes down to love then tell me
What does love look like? is the question Ive been pondering
What does love look like?

Then I sat down a little frustrated and confused
Your fire of life comes down to love. And love has to be more than sentiment,
More than selfishness and selfish gain

Then I saw Him there
Hanging on a tree, looking at me
I saw Him there
Hanging on a tree, looking at me
He was looking at me looking at Him, staring through me
I could not escape those beautiful eyes
And I began to weep and weep

He had arms wide open, heart exposed
Arms wide open, He was bleeding, bleeding.
Arms wide open, heart exposed
Arms wide open, He was bleeding, bleeding
Loves definition
Loves definition, was looking at me
Looking at Him. Hanging on a tree
I began to weep and weep and weep and weep
This is how I know what love is.

And as I sat there, weeping, crying, those beautiful eyes
Full of desire and love. And He said to me
You shall love Me..You shall love Me.
With arms wide open, heart exposed
With arms wide open, bleeding, sometimes bleeding
You shall love Me.. You shall love Me..

If anybodys looking for love in all the wrong places
If youve been searching for love, come to Me. Come to me.
Take up your cross. Deny yourself.
Forget your fathers house and run. Run with Me.
Cause you were made for abandon your heart and listen
Cause you were made for Someone greater, Someone bigger, so follow Me.
And youll come alive when you learn to die.
And He said to me

You shall love Me. You shall love Me

With arms wide open, heart exposed
With arms wide open, bleeding, sometimes bleeding

People Get Ready - Dream

Quite Disturbing

If I do say so myself.

I had this dream 3 nights ago.
I haven't wanted to share this dream - but I can't get it off my heart and mind.
I wake up every morning with it on my mind, as if I had just dreampt it all over again.
Even with everything else I have on my plate at the moment in life....I can not keep from seeing this dream run over and over in my minds eye - it was so very vivid.

The dream was short. Oh so vivid.

I was on one of many buses headed in the same direction. There were two lanes on the roadway, however at this time they were both being used to bus people to a common area. So both lanes were going in the same direction. The bus I was on, as well as al the other buses were packed full.

It was hot. Very, very hot. The buses came to a sudden halt. Everyone starting piling out of the buses and like a moth to light they all headed in the same direction.

At first I no idea where they were going.

(I was invisible to everyone around me during this dream. No one could hear or see me.)

I looked around at everyone - at the surroundings. I started walking along with them.
Then I saw the ocean.
Everyone was headed towards the beach. The sandy beach.
I could hear people moaning. I could hear others complaining about the how hot it was.

I felt so bad for them. I could see how tired and hot they were. I looked around and saw some very large oak trees and tried to get peoples attention,
"Hey!" I shouted "Look you come get cooled off under the shade of the big oak trees!"

As I motioned for the people to come to the shade I notice that all of the trees leaves were dried up and dead.

I got so upset. I began to run from tree to tree and as I did - I saw something even more alarming.

From a few of the trees I saw what appeared to be BATS hanging (as bats do) from the branches.
It was broad day light and bats were out in the open....I couldn't believe it!.....I approached the bats to shu them off the tree...and when I got to the first one, IT FELL TO THE GROUND. I heard a voice behind me say, "They are all dead."

(I felt so helpless at this point. My heart was so heavy. I began to weep.)

I stood and watched hundreds of people....men, woman and children....standing at the oceans edge waiting....looking... so desperate.....and it just kept getting hotter and hotter.

Great take over of 2012 - dream

< April 14, 2012

It is no secret the Lord speaks to me through my dreams, prophetically, about my life mostly. However here lately especially these last few years I have been receiving more and more dreams with direct reference to the Body of Christ, the Church and in general the world around me.

I have shared some of them publicly. There are two that come to mind that seem to reference the same time line as the dream I had this last night. (Three Crocodiles!;Missiles Every where!;They're Coming!)

Last night I had what I refer to as a nighttime interactive vision-dream. Somewhat different than a regular dream in that I was IN the dream and a part of the ream but no one in the dream was aware of my presence. I was able to move in and around throughout the dream freely.

In the beginning of the dream I was in a very large, I mean huge church building. It contained several churches inside of it. In fact it was 7 (seven) stories tall. It was dark inside. There was a chill in the air that came from the outside through the broken windows.

I was on the first floor. There were few people standing around looking bewildered.

I walked over to the staircase that went to the upper floors. It was a huge sweeping, winding, staircase. One like you might imagine seeing in the movie “Gone with the Wind”, or one of those Southern mansions. I began to make my way to the second floor.

As I got to the second floor I noticed there was a foyer area at the top of the stair case and a room or church rather. The foyer was a mess, a terrible mess. Like something or someone had literally destroyed it. This church was an old fashioned church with statues and such. They were broken and thrown to the ground. There was only a hand full of people in the church itself.

I continued on up the staircase to the third floor and found the same circumstances only a different type of church building. This was a very modern church. High tech in every respect and everything had been thrown to the ground and trampled on. Sparks were flying in the air. Again, there was maybe four or five people in the actual church.

When I got to the next floor I found the same thing. Only this church had a broken down merry - go – round and a cotton candy machine than had been turned over in front of the doors to the church. There were a handful of people at this level inside the actual church.

Each floor that I reached up to the seventh floor had the very same thing – but – different. Their foyer had been completely destroyed and all that was left was one room where the members of the church gather together to pray. There were only a few from each church - on each floor left who stayed after their churches had been destroyed.

I walked around in utter disbelief. I felt so sad. Sad. I don’t know how to explain it other than that. It was utterly heart breaking.

Then after I reached the top, the seventh floor, I heard something.
At the very same time I heard it – I felt it –It was a sudden warm wind.
Then I saw it.
A huge tear drop fell down from the sky, into the broken down church building.
It was like refreshing shower upon everyone in the place. Something I simply can not even begin to explain. Sheer and utter beauty beyond human description!

I believe it was a tear falling from heaven.
I don’t know how to explain it. I don’t know that I can, other than what I just did.

Then -
Suddenly - I was outside.

I was in the street. I was walking down the street. Everything seemed normal. I approached the end of the street and had to turn around and go back up the street.
I saw a sign that seemed to "pop-up" out of nowhere right in from of me.

It read “11-2012”-this way --à "
So I continued up the street. At first I didn’t notice anything. THEN, I noticed the street itself was not paved anymore. The same exact street I just walked down moments before had changed to a dirt road.
Then I noticed there were woman everywhere were wearing Hijabs (head covers).
As I continued walking I saw to my right a group of young men and boys throwing sticks and rocks at Christians. They were using all kinds of profanities against the name of Jesus and threatening to “turn them in”.
Turn them into the authorities to be arrested.

This sign says it all. I do not believe we can co-exist. We would all have to be willing to love each other. As well as be willing and able to forgive each other and let go of the past. Sadly - I do not see that happening.

Awaken Me....Misty Edwards

Forgive me for neglecting Your heart,

Forgive me for my busy life,

Forgive me for wasting time,

but my heart I have forgotten

Put Your hand upon my heart

I want to feel

Let me know that I'm alive

I want to feel (You)

Take away a proneness to boredom

Take away my wandering spirit

And take this wild soul

Captivate me

Come and hold me like you do

Captivate me

Capture this imagination

Capture my affections, too

Captivate

God, Come and capture my imagination

Captivate

God, Capture my affections, too

Came awaken me

Awaken me

I want You to awaken me

Fascinate

Fascinate me

Take away the dullness

Let me know that I'm alive

Put Your hand upon my heart

For I'm dark from working in the vineyard,

Forgive me for neglecting mine.

Question..........

"Why is it that the vast majority of the body of Christ avoids dealing with the issue of holiness/ sin in the house...and continues only to teach preach on the mundane things of this world which we can pretty much find in motivational books sold at 1/2 price book stores or amazon .com? (minus the scripture refs of course.) ...**people get ready Jesus is coming.....

Lyrics to People Get Ready :

I can hear the rhythm

of the Lion of the tribe of Judah

He's doing a new thing

So we're singing a new song

He's not a baby in a manger anymore

He's not a broken man on a cross

He didn't stay in the grave

And He's not staying in heaven forever!

He's alive

He's alive!

People get ready!

Jesus is coming!

We join in the song of the ages

It's a new song

We say to the One who was slain,

"You have proven Your love,

And You have shown us, shown us

That You can be trusted."

So take the scroll and open

And open, and open the seals

We trust You, Jesus

And we want you to come back

So take the scroll and open the seals

I can hear the rhythm

of the Lion of the tribe of Judah

He's doing a new thing

So we're singing a new song

He's not a baby in a manger anymore

He's not a broken man on a cross

He didn't stay in the grave

And He's not staying in heaven forever!

He's alive

He's alive!

People get ready!

Jesus is coming!

People walking around

With their fingers in the their ears

Singing, "Da da da da da."

"I don't want to hear the sound of the coming King."

But He says, he says,

"Well, I have held my peace for

A long, long, long, long time

And in my silence you thought

That i was all together like you.

And in your heart you were settled in complacency

You said, 'He won't even respond.'

You said, 'He's not interested."

You said, 'He's dead and gone."

But I've been silent for such

A long, long, long, long time

But I'm about to gasp, to pant,

To cry out, to cry out,

I'm going to shout!"

Once again I'm going to shake

Everything that can be shaken

Once again I'm going to break

Everything that can be broken

Are you ready?

Are you ready for this?

Are you ready?

People get ready!

Jesus is coming!

He's coming!

He's coming!!!
