Sturdy Gifting
The gift of prophecy holds my thoughts
to discern the wickedness all around.
I am blessed with many gifts in my life
that God gave me with obedience.
I battled the spirit of fear for a long while
and God delivered me from his craftiness.
Now when he is near I can feel his little threat
and reveal his attacking presence quickly.
Words of prophecy come from out of my mouth
a blessing of hope for all lost in the darkness.
Writing in despair brings hope into light
for the days of the Lord are swiftly upon us.
I know not how to explain his ways
just receive his mercy, it’s knew everyday.
Walk in his love and hold him near
when you do this, you have nothing to fear.
We always think that lack is our name
but when his had is needed we all paint the same.
Places and people he puts in our paths
pointing in conversation the need to be met.
Stand tall and never waver your position
the devil is a liar and you know he is damned.
A tower build strong for the Lord you are
and never let the enemy tell you that you’re not...
