Cities of Refuge


i don’t want the calm of a “dead church”
all bones and no substance
tear the flesh off the “fat church”
content
with fundraisers
sitting around waiting to be blessed

The Holy Spirit speaks to annoint
The Holy Spirit speaks for God
The Holy Spirit will preach through anyone
who Loves Jesus with Holy Passion

Desire the true riches,
God is the Pearl of Great Value
surrender all to Jesus
let The Holy Spirit blow the
dust of complacency

There is a revival that begins in the heart
of one
A call to true worship

The Holy Spirit stirs
a run after Jesus
The Beckoning of the Holy Spirit
is to leave the world behind
God calls believers to consecration
The Ministry of the Holy Spirit
is to make hearts Holy

The Holy Spirit baptizes in Fire
Holy Flames that burns the believer into ashes
You are a New Creation washed in Holy Blood,
You are a disciple of the Most High
not to pray for the things of this life
But to be called into A Glorious Life
You are a disciple to bear the marks of Jesus
Be a disciple of the hard teachings of Christ
suffering for His Kingdom
for His Kingdom suffers the violence
of this present world
His Gospel is being rejected
and the world invents one
that tolerates their sin

Everyone wants a Jesus
they can follow
but who can follow the hard teachings?
everyone wants the milk
but not the meat,
everyone wants a ticket out of hell
but who wants to labour in this present world?

Jesus is calling disciples to a Holy obedience
He is raising up soldiers to fight the battle
against the worst terrorism
to cast out demons through His Power
and His Might
The Holy Spirit is a terminator of unclean
spirits
a rescuer of souls sold into slavery
by the present ruler of this fallen cursed
world that will not stand in the Judgment

Jesus is raising up Holy cities of refuge
to preserve the saints of the present age
He will not preserve nations
He will not preserve the religions
He will not preserve the lovers of this world

Jesus is raising up Holy cities of refuge
Fortresses whose walls are not all broken
down with sin
Cities that are cathedrals for His Glory
Cities that are places of prayer
Cities where people worship
Cities that have torn down the altars
Cities that have thrown away its idols

The world owes Jesus a debt
so humble yourself before the Son
The world owes Jesus it’s worship
so fall down on your faces
and cast your idols and repent!

Cities seek the Face of God
Cities cry out a holy cry, Hallelujah cry
a battle cry for cleansing
Scream for the Name who bled and died to make you a holy people
Scream for the One who is Annointed with Power and Grace
Scream for the Deep Places of God,
Seek God in the dark places
Seek God during the trials when He seems to hide
Seek God when no one is seeking His Heart

Come broken and with barely a breath
Come all scratched
Let the Holy Spirit pour into your wounds

Come with your leprosy and your cancer
Crawl to God
Carry the pieces of yourself
God is Deeper than the Universe
with all of its stars
God carries the glory of the stars in his Hand
God brings your thoughts into a captivity that frees you
