Pre-Destined   How can I prove that I’m really sorry;    Stop doing the things that I did?   Repentance is more than just an emotion;    It’s My way so you will live.   Are You saying that I can change myself?   Of course not; I’ve formed My creation.    This does require an action by you; Otherwise, it’s just information.   What about the ones I’ve offended before?   You move on the ones that are here;    This positive action will kill your pride; Along with stopping all fear.   There’s a lot of talk in My Church today    about not giving in to the flesh; Left to your strength, without My instruction,    you’ll continue your life in this mess.   They’ve sadly confused this time in communion;    Taking thought to uncover offences; This remembrance: Rejoicing in who you are;    Will cause you to tare down these fences. The fact that you’re even asking Me this,    lets Me know there is stimulation; From My Spirit in you, responding to Me;    And I answer with no hesitation.    This should encourage and not condemn;    Together we’re killing the flesh. My plan for you will never change;    To give you the very best.   I won’t tell you more than you can do;    So offences won’t keep coming thru you. In My plan for your life there are no “woes”;    That’s only for lords that won’t expose, Their deepest hurts, that have kept them in prison;    And deny with their choices that I have risen; To meet all of their needs, which I long to do;    So let’s do this now with who I’ve made you.   You see, your offences were one of the bars;    That kept them locked up not to see; Now, Together We’ll walk in this great delight;    And help them, as well, to get free.   Oh, offences will come; that’s the very Lie’s nature;    I’ve formed you to heal the wounds; It’s a double healing for you and for them;    And you’ll see that very soon.   You just can’t afford to walk with Me;    And be so quickly offended; This leaves a big hole only kings can fix;    And his poison holds you suspended.   Then he takes the keys that I died to give you,    To set the captives free; This very great theft puts you back in jail;    And separates you from Me.   As far as the ones that have since gone on;    Don’t worry, they will know; When My Spirt leads, there is no time;    Even past eternity grows.   You didn’t know how much was at stake;    To this seemingly little action; Is it clearer now, this fight that We’re in;    That brings such great satisfaction?    I’m so glad you came to ask of Me;    So that I could tell you “how to”; Did I not tell even more than you asked?    Unawares, your priorities grew.   You didn’t know this is how We fight;    Not the way, I’m sure, that you thought; Can you see why I said I need all of you;    So the war that I won can be fought?   I’m now sitting here, with no excuses;    In front of this wide open door; And I’m very aware that my actions will prove;    If Your love, I will still ignore.   Then, I remembered, a long time ago;    A prophecy that I left alone; He said, “Satan desires to sift you like sand.”    And I thought the guy should be stoned.   Everyone else got great swelling words;    I thought, What is this that I hear? I’ll just not admit that I felt so alone;    But it left me in total fear.   I was going to ask what others thought;    But I didn’t know much then; And only now, I remember the part;    That You said at the very end.   So, thank-you, Lord, for seeing to this;    Even when I couldn’t hear; The part at the end said, “Don’t be afraid;    I’m praying for you, My dear.”   It probably wouldn’t have meant as much then;    To know You were praying for me; What confidence now to know that You;    Have set my destiny!!!
