The end of me….the beginning of you. January 27, 2009

He is……and He is able
He is listening to me
When I am trapped and I have nowhere to go
When look about and see no escape
Your deliverance comes speedily
I think to myself
Who am I? I am a sinner?
An unworthy servant…….
But you treat me as a son…..
How can I compare your love?
It is like the dew in the morning,
Giving a promise of a fresh new day
In the midst of the tumlut, you stand there
saying……”come….come to me on the wind and wave”
“See that I am carrying you in the midst of this heartbreak
“In this place you will surely see the depth of your salvation
“And the hope of your calling…..do not fear, for I am with you.”
I look up……like a man in the midst of a nightmare
And your smile is like the ray of a sunshine
Shining upon me and giving me strength…
How will I stand? By the strength of the living God
And His hand will guide me.
I will work, because he has decreed it
And I am willing to serve Him.
So let me remember his work
And love His Bride, the Church
In spite of myself and herself
I will love her unconditionally and true
unconditionally and true.
To the end of ME……..
And the Beginning of YOU.
I will answer! January 27, 2009

“I have you covered……do you believe that? Would you believe I have set in motion everything you need to be taken care of in the midst of this storm? You can sing……like Isaiah 54……..in the midst of your barrenness. You can be assured that you will expand and you will rebuild the old waste places………if you will listen and learn from Me the way of wisdom and the way of peace.
You don’t have to jump through a bunch of hoops to get where I want you to go……..Just be available and willing……..the door is opening even now…….and a way through into my purposes is already upon you. It will come upon you suddenly….and very soon………I will act…..I will act quickly on your behalf……..come to Me and know…….I Am God……you will surely see your redemption and salvation……..Be Still, Be Still, Be Still…………and know I am with you.”
“Watch, Adam, watch your God work on your behalf……I Am your Deliverer…..am I not?”
The End of the Road January 23, 2009

open eyes and open ears……..looking for His Majesty……..
Looking for the light in your eyes Lord……
To see the Hope of MY calling………
Let me see you today…..walking, talking breathing out peace…..
And I will follow……I will follow…..
I will not go back to the old ways, the old days…..
To the old waste places………
Show me the path to walk in….and I will walk in it…….
I am so done with things……so at a crossroads
But you have ordained it…….
I know how Moses feels after 40 years….
All of the idealism is gone….and He has moved on……
Then the Lord remembers……and He calls Him back…..
Moses thinks to Himself……”Why now?”
Because He was ready to be used…….
All of the idealism, and gifting and means
Were like filthy rags to you………
He couldn’t be used until He saw how useless they really were….
Only You…….Only You……..your voice in Me…..Your hand with Me
Your life through me……..to be Crucified with Christ……
The end of the Road is the beginning of the Kingdom……
That is the truth……that is where you are waiting…..
That is where I will go to meet you…….
Let it be so in me January 23, 2009

He is radiant…..He is life…….
He is living…….true life and love and joy and peace
Open eyes…….that’s what I want
Open ears to hear the call to come
Let me hear it again in case my senses are dulled
To grow….to know….to hear…..to love
And to believe that what you have said
Is true
Let it be in me according to your word
YOU in me……divinely inspired
Divinely written…….Let it be so in me
According to your word
According to your design
Amen.

The Road Less Traveled…… January 16, 2009
Posted by tytanshammer in Uncategorized.add a comment
Yes, Lord………sometimes you take the road less travelled……sometimes you see our weakness and you take us in a way that helps us come to the place you want us to be……because only YOU know the human heart…………
I therefore speak peace and hope…….I choose to be still in your hands……….It is your job to get cinderella to the dance on time……..and you surely will…………….
Still I wonder……will I have a desire to dance when I get there? Will I be like Moses and ask you to pick someone else…….because I have decided to retire………..? You’ll probably ignore me and tell me to do it anyway……….
I know your ways are good……I know your life is good…….your heart is breathing life and peace and mercy………..I choose this way……..I choose this moment…….to be still…………..in You………..
“I know what I am doing. I know where I am going. Do you trust Me? I am working according to a different design. Remember Joseph and the mountain called Egypt……..He couldn’t just go straight up………He had to take a different path……..through the dungeon to get to the top………so it is here and now……..It is the road less traveled………
If you could figure it out, so could the enemy……and we are in the business of fooling Him. We are not going where you expect, nor where My people expect………….but where I expect. This is a PARADIGM SHIFT…….You cannot see the structure, or the means or what is needed until you get there.
When this time comes, much structure will fall away and the best efforts of men of God will fail because of the great changes that will come upon the body. And what will they be left with? People. People who have a God given ability, a God given relationship and the will and desire to listen to the Lord.
And then and only then will I begin. I will rebuild My Tabernacle of David. Do you hear that? I will build it……..I will do it………I will establish MY order……not yours or theirs………I will end men’s ideas of carrying the presence in an ox-cart. But I will also end any ideas of your own that you would carry Me in……….
You will learn to co-create, co-operate, co-habitate with the LORD…….you will learn to be with Me and Me with YOU. You will learn to Abide and to Listen…….and out of THAT place……..you will do.
This is what My Body will learn…….that their structures and attempts to serve me come to naught and in the end it is their relationship and love with Me that will survive and thrive and grow……….out of that I will build my temple……..out of burnt stones………and its glory will be great………..
That temple is you and your brothers………learn to be a stone fashioned in the temple of God, beholding the glory of God which is the center of all things………and worry less about how things will turn out.”
Yes, Lord……that is a good thing……it is a good thing to be with You…..I do not want nor need my own way……but I choose your way and your heart…….THIS is a good thing.
You are a Word January 16, 2009

He is living truth. And each one of you are meant to be like a word fashioned in time…..an expression of a particular dimension of God……his heart, his majesty, his mind, his love, his grandeur, his mercy……………He woos you into his presence that in Him you might find out who you really are…………..in his glory you see the shape of you……..both kindness and severity……what is an isn’t there……
Then, instinctively you begin to move towards Him………as you do you will notice other people and you will see the word they are meant to be. Reaching out to encourage and steady, you will participate in the shaping of who they are……do not fear, even your mistakes will help them out………in the long run.
After a time of seeing and helping others come into the shape of who they are……..you will begin to see the message……and in that message is the fulcrum of victory or defeat. For the body to become the message of heaven on earth, each person being shaped into a word in that message is the ultimate goal.
When the body is fully attuned to the Head, who is Christ, moving as he moves, speaking as he speaks, doing as he does…….what do we call the church then?
The Bride.
When that Bride becomes who she is supposed to be then stands on the earth with the Holy Spirit and bids the Lord to come…..He will…….because she will be so compatible with Him that He will not be able to resist.
So brethren, we have a long journey ahead of us…..through ups and downs, twists and turns, failures and successes……to become the word of Christ even as Christ is the word of the Father…………..To become the expression of Christ He calls us to be……….that is our journey………..that is our call…….
It is more than jumping through hoops like a trained dog on a conveyor belt service on sunday morning………It is coming into the manifest presence of God on a daily basis and seeing who He is and who you are not by comparison…….It is learning to follow as he leads………learning to recognized the faint heart pulls and tugs that God uses to call you……the still small voice of obedience to Go and do…..or to stay and not do…………Be Still…….learn to listen…..learn to wait……..learn to be……….YOU.
Conversation with the Lord January 14, 2009

I am your way Home
It’s not about what you get
But who you see
Its about you seeing me with You
Its about your heart being light in the HOPE
of YOUR CALLING…….
Do You believe that?
That you have a calling………a destiny?
and you, right now, are in the shaping of it?
Then Be Still……let your heart be light
Let it see the Hope I long to give to you
The enemy will lie……he will flood you with fears
and the disheartening hopelessness and pain
That isn’t real……..and it isn’t you………..
It isn’t what you are, nor what you are destined for…….
He is a liar and the father of lies
He hates you and everything you stand for
That is why he does this……
Listen to me……I am with you
In this season, in this moment and time
But I am not going to make this any easier
I Am……and you must see that and accept it……
You must see me here………
That is the point of Isaiah 54……
See it and Respond……..believe and make changes
in line with what you see………..
Change your perspective and focus
From the past to the future
See me working out all things for good……
See me pulling at your heart
To worship, to seek my face…….to express my heart
To a fallen generation……..
To forge new paths and a new life………
To be the man I see you to be
To see the value of the road less traveled
And the light I give to you in the here and now…..
You will make it……one way or another……
Choose My way……….choose to believe the best
about you and others…..about the situation you are in
See it……..for my sake and for your own…..
You are made with a purpose and with a destiny……
Not what you expect……but that is good and bad……
It’s just different………..so let me show you what it is……
Come……..Come to me and I will show you who you are
Who you really are……..
Creativity…… January 14, 2009
Posted by tytanshammer in Uncategorized.add a comment
this is something God has been working with me about. He’s been pounding a doctrine of creativity into me for years(I don’t listen very well). He said that all creativity has 3 basic layers to them, like an egg: 1. a core message 2. a truth journey 3. a body of creative metaphors to express the journey that brings them into agreement with the message.
He said that as Christians our message is to be lined up with the message that proceeds from His mouth in heaven. The truth journey is to be lined up with the principles of the word. He said that if those things were done correctly than the 3rd level of metaphors could be any sort of language…..a geeky language, military history language, musician language, in church or out of church language and it would lead them to himself. Language in this sense is how each arena of the culture seems to develop its own words and language that must be understood in order to communicate with that arena quickly. Just get around a bunch of geeks talking about computers and you’ll know what I am talking about.
The problem comes, he said, when individuals try to [u]establish[/u] themselves instead of letting the Lord establish themselves, and they adopt another message, a popular message, in order to try to gain ground in the arena they are in…….which gets them into trouble because agreement is agreement is agreement. That’s the King Saul thing………We are supposed to be like Joseph instead…….not just successful, but successful according to the desire of heaven…….which means being willing to follow the Lord from the good position and career in to the prison if necessary………..why? Because it is the fastest way to the throne of pharaoh that bypasses all of the enemy’s occultic traps……
If my whole life is to express the message proceeding from the mouth of God in heaven…..is it really…..? That doesn’t mean that it is necessarily religious……or uses religious words or dress………but it has to be His Message and His Truth………not just what everybody else is doing and saying……
It’s sort of the same with worship………what you use and do and say depends on what He is saying……..it is all appropriate at times……and inappropriate at times……..depending on what the Lord is doing and would have us do on earth in agreement with Him………
Be At Peace January 12, 2009

Choose in your heart the path of life and stick to it………..You can change forever if you want to listen to My Heartbeat, you can. If you see that I am for you and that there is hope in this moment. Changes come and Changes go, but you must see me in the midst of them. You must believe that I am holding you in the palm of My Hand……that everything has been designed to form a particular tool……
Then in that context, co-operate…….do what you see can be done……and don’t worry about the details……or filling in particular slots in your life……stay focused on God’s interests in other people and other lives……
Listen to me………..and believe…………..if you truly mean it, walk away from the past things, lay them on the cross…….don’t hold them against yourself anymore and don’t hold it against others either…….believe in the best to come about in your life and in these situations.
I am the God RIGHT HERE and RIGHT NOW……do you believe it? Then walk in My ways………you don’t have to be perfect……just willing…….are you willing? Then believe and receive…..
Be at peace Adam.
