Part One

Awakening

Eden's Hidden DNA

Written

If DNA Holds the Mysteries Behind Things Living, Paradise Will be a Sort of SECRET GARDEN. If EDEN's a Concealed State of Serenity Through Healing This World Becomes the Target of a Dream Discarded.

Reality Becomes a Prison, Merciless and Hardened, If Eden is the Quiet Sanctuary, a Space that Healing Takes, While the World is but a Broken Promise, Barely Pardoned; Paradise Encodes that Sacred Spark where all Creation Wakes.

At Last Infinity Reveals the Mystery, Open & Unguarded

Transformation

Walk into the Breathless Void

Written

Walk as Jesus Walked. Jesus Walked in Perfect Harmony with Humanity And Complete Surrender to Divinity— His Every Footstep Mapped and Loaded With Perfection, Harmony, Completeness, and Tranquility. To a Single Tune within Infinity— Left, Right, Left, Direct, and with Serenity. An Unseen Kingdom Breathing through the Clay, Where Silent Realms of Spirit Light the Way.

Humility Became a Quiet, Cosmic Grace, An Invisible Peace that Bypassed Time and Space, In Absolute Submission, His Soul Found Peace, A Breathless Void Where Time and Shadows Cease.

Humility Is Strength, a Silent Inner Flame, Perfect Peace No Mortal Tongue Can Name. The Unseen Atmosphere of Heaven Sighs, A Sacred Stillness Falls from Hidden Skies.

Life Flows Unhindered from a Source Unseen, Upon this Narrow Path, Profound, Serene. Pure Life Unfolds Beyond What Eyes Can See, A Surreal Walk into Eternity.

Transformation

Purpose

Written

Trends of Greatness Should Remind Us That We All May Look Divine,

Leaving Towers of Achievement, Forever Change the Flow of Time.

Look to Heaven and Reflect It, Look Inside You and Do Find,

In the Smallest Seed of Purpose, Growth and Power by Love Defined.

A Purpose Sealed within Divine Design, Alters Time and Flows within Chosen Lines.

Songs of the Journey

One and Three Sound in December

Written

One and Three Sound in December, Open Doors for All to See; Sending Out Like Trampled Lumber, Gifts Forgiven Beneath the Tree.

Take the Streets Under the Heavens, Be Free as Fish Under the Sea; With Every Footstep Pressed and Trodden, Joy Spreads Like Butter Inside of Me.

I Look to Jesus He Is Worthy, He Uses Satan Like a Key; Mighty Maker, Master Craftsman, What He Builds Surely Ain't Free.

I Am Branded on My Shoulders, My Eyes and Forehead Soon to Be; Like Wax His Seal Melts to My Body, Jesus Jesus, I Am Free.

My Life in Him Now Flows so Freely, I Cannot but Beauty See; From the Mire, the Dust, the Darkness, By His Word He Set Me Free.

He Is Worthy, He Is Holy, I Shall Not but Praises Sing; In Times of Trial, in Times of Glory, Oh How I Love You My Song Will Ring.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Unto You My Voice I Raise; Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Unto You I Lift My Praise.

Thank You Jesus, Thank You Jesus, You're so Wonderful to Me; Thank You Jesus, Thank You Jesus, By Your Word You Sent Me Free.

Thank You Jesus, Thank You Jesus, Yes, You Are so Wonderful; Thank You Jesus, Thank You Jesus, My Cup Runs Over It Is Full.

Glory Glory, Hallelujah, Jesus King Forever More; Glory Glory, Hallelujah, All Was Written Years Before.

Times Are Changing People Shifting, Chaos Tramples Far and Wide; Yet His Majesty in Heaven, Enthroned of Laughter Could Have Died.

Splendor, Beauty, Love and Power, Terror Thunders, Yet I Repose; As the World Spins on Its Blunder, He Spoke One Word, It Stood and Froze.

Contemplations

The Butterfly Effect

Written

A caterpillar feeds on plants, consuming leaves until it has eaten to such fullness as to transform into a beautiful, winged creature we call a butterfly. This consumption of exorbitant nutrition leads directly to the birth of an angelic, winged creation—one as light as the wind, effortlessly leaving the heavy weight of its previous existence behind.

In this parable of life, God speaks, saying: "Just as the butterfly, you may also do the same by consuming the weight and nutrition of my Word. Eat until you are full. Gorge yourself without end, until you burst at the seams. Feast on the luscious drippings of the dew of heaven until your wings spread, and you leave behind the gravity of your previous existence for the winds of heaven.

The grace of God will fill your wings, and carry you through to your destiny."

Testimonies of Fire

Run into the Sun

Written

Look, take Notice of the Sun, The Spread and Beauty of its Rays. The Rays by Morning Flow and Run With Ease, your Eyes that Glow Embrace.

The Sun Brings Heat, the Sun Brings Joy— Dreams for People to Employ. Make Sure you Dream, and Dream it Big; Your Dreamer Space Should Use a Gig.

Make Sure your Days are Full of Fun, As Grand and Awesome as the Sun!

Prayers and Meditation

Heavenly Accent

Written

God, You are my Most Advanced Advisor and my Greatest Advantage.

You are my Highest Admiration and my Strongest Addiction.

Therefore, I humbly ask You to remove all Cowardice and Carelessness from my Character.

I don't want to be an Accessory to a Club, but to be part of the Family of God.

I don't want to Acclimate to a certain State of Being, but to set the Spiritual Temperature wherever You take me.

I don't want to Acclimate to the World, but to Always Stand Accomplished in Heaven's Purpose and Plan.

God, Help me to Acquire a Thick Heavenly Accent in all of my Speech and all of my Dealings with Others.

Stand in the River

Written

When I Thought My Darkest Hour, He Stood Watching at the Gate; Site Caught Up to Heaven's Shower, Raining Plumes My Heart Inflate.

Titans Stand Exuding Language, Only Few Do Understand; I Have Seen the Greatest Army, Against Hell They Make Their STAND.

God's Great Giants, Tall and Shouldered, Spreading Flame, Initiate: Holy Fire on Every Soldier, RIVERS Flow, His Will Mandate.
