The Anointing Brenda Drake

Whisper: Reach out to others with the anointed touch of God.

Luke 4:18
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

The Anointing

When Christ the Anointed One is revealed alive,
Anointing falls as it wells up from inside,
The heavy taste of freedom visits the anointed tongue;
Words sweet with power and authority comes.
Simple yet astounding wisdom pours from the inner supply;
It is like a river that will not run dry.
Well-placed, precise, unpretentious prayer requests,
Are to the God you trust and serve addressed.
Indeed there is nothing denied to them,
That prepare to hear the still voice within.
Every hope and dream is lifted undisturbed,
With eyes filled with faith in God’s Word.
Lips that sing God’s praise will indeed see clear.
God’s touch that causes the anointing to reappear.
Anointed brothers help brothers to the truth see;
A great day comes when the Bride moves in unity!

Lord, You have anointed me to share the love of God with others.

Masterfully Arranged By Brenda Drake

Whisper: Who is in control of your life?

Romans 8:14
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

Masterfully Arranged

Masterfully arranged by the One in control;
The Father of creation – the lover of every soul.
The whole universe and the world of man,
Is expertly held in His hand.
He has moved over, under, and through,
Everything that applies to you.
His love encompasses every soul that walks the earth.
He attends every funeral and every birth.
His love has a plan always in mind,
For you and your salvation are in His design.
To make possible for a soul to be saved,
Jesus His Son His life willingly gave.
He left heaven’s glory to be born of a virgin pure;
To grow and wax strong to man’s sin endure.
The world He was born to die for,
Was formed by the hand of the Lord.
When you celebrate with family and friends,
The life and birth of the Savior do you carry His love within?
If and when you give gifts to those you love,
Are you able to show the way to receive the gift sent from above?
Are you allowing Him full control of your life?
By accepting the provision of His sacrifice?
He masterfully has brought you to decision again.
Have you? Will you submit your life to Him?

I desire and choose Your will done in and through me.

Muscle of the Soul by Brenda Drake

When we are born again we are but babes in Christ.  Life under the leadership of our Lord and by the teaching of the Word builds us stronger as we grow in faith. 

Muscle of the soul

Muscles are formed when they are put to work.
It is not easy for under extra exertion they hurt.
Faith is as the muscle of soul;
When it is tested true strength is known.
Heavy trials that have been a part of your life,
Builds strength when you lift them to Christ.
It is work studying and believing God’s Word,
And standing in confidence on it firm.
When you lift the Word in your prayers,
And your testimony is with others shared;
Hope muscles are built strong too.
Faith begins to in great power move.
The hard work pays answer comes;
With God’s strength you overcome.
Trust and faith becomes fervent within.
It is never too late to exercise programs begin.
One day you will be able to tell the mountain to depart,
For God’s power speaks from your heart.
The Word of God wielded in your hand,
Chases the enemy from your land.
With faith you do not accept defeat in any way,
For you know God answers when you the Word pray.

I John 5:4
For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

The Flower of Eternal Life By Brenda Drake

I love flowers for their beauty and for their fragrance; and I am disappointed when they wilt and die.  I
surround myself with artificial flower arrangements for their lasting beauty but would much more appreciate the real ones.  God makes us all beautiful and a forever bloom in His kingdom. 

The Flower of Eternal Life

On earth a flower’s beauty fades
On the vine it does not forever stay.
Its promise of pleasure is no more,
Its lovely attributes fall to the earth’s floor.
Flowers on earth are presented as gifts.
The aroma of some, are hard to resist.
Lovely to look at and lovely to smell,
Each bloom has its own story to tell.
Just so are the children in the land.
The flower of youth proudly stands.
But beauty fades and droops down,
With or without sweet aroma also falls to the ground.
Jesus is the Flower that forever blooms.
He is, was and is coming soon.
He lived, loved, and died for man;
So His life and His love you could understand.
If you are His and He is in You,
You are now a flower in full bloom.
A forever-flower; eternal life lives within.
Because He is life, You are one with Him,
You are a flower I send to grace the table of the lost;
Full of good fruit that shows the way to God’s love on the cross.

1 John 2:17
And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will
of God abideth for ever.

Do You Your Child Resist By Brenda Drake

Whisper: Trust that I am a good Father.

2 Corinthians 1:20
For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen,
unto the glory of God by us.

Do You Your Child Resist?

When you tell your child “Come and I will assist”
Do you when they obey resist their requests?
When you plan for their future, do you plant along the way,
Some very unpleasant things for them in their days?
When your child comes to spend time with you,
Do you trouble and make it unpleasant as you ridicule?
When you promise good do you secretly another way plan?
Is it your intention to make it hard for your child to understand?
Now this seems a little silly, in fact it is as an insult to your ear.
But this is a truth I desire for you to hear.
I plan good for you. The things you perceive as bad that comes,
Is not a trick delivered to you by God’s Son.
I am your helper in the world full of sin.
I am your Savior, your Lord, and your friend.
I am your high-tower in life’s storms.
I am your bridegroom that wants to adorn.
I favor you, it is good in every way;
So be assured by the Word expect good things when you pray.

I give thanks and praise for all things good comes from You.

Mountain Movers By Brenda Drake

brendadrakepoetry Leave a comment

We have been praying for change to come.  All the terrible upside-down circumstances that seem to be as unmovable mountains have been and are on our daily prayer list. Do we truly believe God hears our prayers?  Do you believe the Word of God it truth?  If so now we need to speak the Word and believe God for His intervention.  When we speak the Word in the name of Jesus the living Word we will see the mountains move!

Mountain Movers

Some mountain-movers use shovels one shovel at a time;
But this is not as God designed.
The true mountain-movers use God’s Word in faith.
They stand on its promises and then they wait.
he Holy work is by God done.
The heavy work was accomplished by Jesus His Son.
Know the Word, believe the Word, speak the Word then wait.
Trust and expect from the Word, as you praise Jesus’ name.
Your work in His service will be known as your reward,
For the mountains have been moved as you march forward.
Do not pray then worry, fret, and stew,
As you confess all the bad that is coming to you.
Do not talk about and rehash all the problems you face.
For your attempt to move the mountain of circumstances becomes a waste.
Pray the Word, speak the Word and the Word believe,
And then wait for God to move the mountain for thee.

Mark 11:24
Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray,
believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

He Finds Great Pleasure By Brenda Drake

     The earth is filled with beauty; God stated all Creation as good.  He loves every part of it all… it is as He designs.  He never tires, and is pleased with every living soul.  Every moment is filled with the wonder of it all. We must rejoice in the celebration of life, and the eternal celebration of New Life in Salvation.

He Finds Great Pleasure

When the willow blows in the wind,
When the palm trees bend,
When the ripened apple falls to the ground floor,
When the child of God prays to the Lord,
When the birds sing their songs of praise,
When the child of God changes their evil ways,
When the flower’s bloom fades and willingly falls to the ground,
When the autumn leaves joyfully blow around,
When the stars and the moon shares their glow,
When the angels sing at every new-born soul,
When the air sparkles with promised rain,
When a child of God is freed from their chains,
When the new-born baby cries,
When an earth-dweller warrior dies,
When the love of a father for son is revealed,
When a cancer-sick soul is healed,
When time has passed and new eternal life begins,
When there is a holy reunion of family and friends,
When the heavens and earth dance and rejoice it is done,
And there is new rule under the Son,
God never tires, all is known and felt, and on His mind.
He finds in it all great pleasure in His design.

Psalms 104:31
The glory of the Lord shall endure for ever:
the Lord shall rejoice in his works.

Heart’s Cry By Brenda Drake

brendadrakepoetry Leave a comment

Whisper: I hear every heart’s cry.

Luke 10:27
And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul,
and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.

John 13:34
A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you,
that ye also love one another.

Heart’s Cry

I believe my heart’s cry is also God’s hearts cry.
He desires families and friends to get along and so do I.
Life is fragile and precious and I have found,
We are very fortunate to still be around.
It is strange Lord how easily we tend to forget,
What matters most; help us to hold unto it:
Such as respect for others, to deny selfish ways;
The great value of positive thoughts, and words of praise.
My heart cries at the pettiness of our sinful self;
When wrong attitudes and contrary personalities rise up or creeps out.
Forgive us and remind to desire God above all things;
To place others first and thus give honor to Christ our King.
Heavy hearts are sad when self makes a stand.
Help us practice joy and peace as we hold onto Your hand.
Songs of praise and joy causes hearts to rejoice in song.
Testify of God and His ways that proves to Him You belong.
My heart’s cry is to love as Jesus did for we see,
Jesus sacrificed Himself so our heart His joy and love could receive.

You turn our cry of desire into joyful love songs of faith.

Give My Heart Vision By Brenda Drake

brendadrakepoetry Leave a comment

In the days ahead we need to keep our eyes on Jesus.  With His help we will see His hand at work answering prayer. We are called in troubled times to trust and have faith in God’s promises in the Word.  If God be for us what have we to fear?  God is good and at work for good to prosper.  Give us faith’s eyes to perceive Your hand moving in our behalf.  Allow us to hear the loving sounds of sure victory ahead.

Give My Heart Vision

Give me eyes to see what You see and ears to hear,
What perhaps normally would not sound to me clear.
Set my feet on the path of Your will each day.
Help me follow after my Lord that leads the way.
Give my heart vision to see beyond circumstances that bind;
Past all preconceived conceptions, help me leave them behind.
Give me ability to speak out against wrong;
Instant in worship and in praise’s joyful song.
Give me opportunity to serve You in the gift of today.
Help me to enjoy life as I seek to obey.
Grant me strength to assist in another’s need.
Help me be generous and not filled with greed.
As I ask for these favors I offer my life to live,
As a willing sacrifice that to You all the glory I give.

Romans 12:2
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Something is Stirring By Brenda Drake

brendadrakepoetry Leave a comment

The Church as a whole has been asleep. I know I have been awakened to some hard truths of our lax and lukewarm ways. The power and authority of the Holy Spirit has been neglected and even in many instances ignored, denied, or and even restricted to move within the walls of congregations. Something is stirring… Our Lord is on the move, a change is coming.

Somethings Stirring

There’s something stirring … waters are beginning to part;
A bit of excitement is bubbling in the heart.
The sleeping giant is beginning to awake;
The cords that have bound will soon break.
The enemy has been ruining things much too long,
But his success story will be proved wrong.
For out of her slumber the bride hungers for her Lord.
She will be stronger than ever before.
Wake up My bride it’s been a while.
It is time to put on your victory smile.
Pick up your armor …it is time to fight.
With your garments of praise the enemy takes flight.
Put on your robe of righteousness,
God’s will for your life confess.
Speak the Word and you will see,
That indeed the enemy will flee.
The world has watched the church struggle in the past;
But now they see her strength at last.
Her strength is Jesus and all He has done.
Her holiness is the work of God’s Son.
Finally she sees her place,
Is only possible because of His grace.
Her light shines out His love now that she is refreshed.
Love’s light is causing the excitement as Jesus’ name is confessed.
Something’s stirring in the atmosphere.
The call comes. …Sleeping bride do you hear?

Revelation 19:7
Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come,
and his wife hath made herself ready.
