Something wicked this way comes...

I guess I am not one to rant too much... though it makes me wonder why I would have a blog if it's not to share my rants lol.

Anyway there is this thing... this observation that has been nagging at me for a while now. Something that I have noticed but in the past just glossed over. Not really paid attention to it. It is something that for better or for worse we have all suffered or we are in the middle of it. I want to share a verse of a track that will come out on my next cd that talks about it.

It creeps up your back giving you a yellow tone
eyes wide open witness was to come
dilate your iris to take in more light
like when you try to gain focus in the middle of the night
muscles tense up and your breathing is erratic
flee or fight you sensing all the static
like when hairs in your neck begin to stand up
something wicked this way comes
so do you fight do you run give up or stand strong
face the situation or turn and be gone
do you stand your ground with no hesitation
or cast the blame in every tough situation
with no way out cornered for the kill
fear got a grip now you standing still
or do you plan you moves when you sense a loss
something wicked this way comes

If it's not too obvious the verse talks about fear. I described the physical aspect of when some one is gripped with fear. Their iris dilate to see the danger that is coming, the muscles tense up and breathing becomes a bit more labor and erratic. Basically is not a good feeling. I also describe the spiritual aspects of fear. When you let fear take over it does not matter how wide your eyes open, your spiritual eyes will be surrounded by darkness and unable to focus. When you let fear in, you start to doubt whether you can stand and fight this and come out victorious. When fear creeps up our sense of responsibility goes out the door and we look to throw blame on someone else. When fear has a hold on your life you will always feel like a corner animal with no where to go.

Fear is the root of all other negative feelings. Hate, anger, bitterness, despair, anxiousness frustration. What causes fear? When we start to pay attention to the lies of the enemy more than the truths of God. When we hold on to what is whisper in the darkness than what is spoken in light and truth.

I am sick and tired of seeing so many believers walking around defeated. Totally and utterly defeated. It breaks my heart to know that many believers choose to listen to the lies of the enemy rather than to hold on to the truth that they know come from God. It hurts to see so many demoralized and down casted like they lost the great battle when THE WAR IS ALREADY WON!

"For everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God. 1 John 5 4-5

Let's stop feeling sorry for ourselves, let's stop walking around like we have lost everything. Let's stop talking and acting like there is no hope and all is lost. Let's start claiming the promises that God has given us. Let's start walking with our heads high knowing that the War has been won already. Let's start living empowered by the Holy Spirit and letting it's fruit be manifested in our lives.

LET'S START LIVING IN VICTORY AND TRUTH!
