Media Moments: Question, reflect, connect

Beacon

Your light shines
cutting worlds of grey
a beacon
on a rocky headland
Lifting hope
in stormy seas
a promise of warmth
a promise of home
a promise of new life
Light of the world
cutting the black fog,

Our eternal guide.

Starting Thoughts: The light of the world shines through the fog, cutting a reality into our lives and providing a way home.

Spoken Word Poetry Jesus Light of the World

Talking to Jesus

Why do I talk
the mean words,
Lazy words
words that don’t 
change the world
Words that circle
the drain and just slip away
Words that have
no power to change,
Words that chain
locks on circumstances
Words that hurt
others and myself
Words that just fill time
Leak time
Waste time
Waste life.

Can I be honest?
Can I be open?
Can I talk to God?

Can I ask God
for a touch of heaven
on Earth?
The changes of heaven
brought to Earth?
A release of
what is happening?
So here I am
talking to God,
Praying
Opening the situation,
Believing in the 
next steps,
Hearing His call
Hearing His voice
Seeking to know His direction
Stepping with God
By Talking to God
Praying with God.

Starting Thoughts: Does God seem far away? Is talking to Jesus just echoes in life's canyon? The questions of prayer, of just simply trying to talk to Jesus rather than wasting time on negative talking and thinking.

Spoken Word poem about prayer - talking honestly with God

Detatched

It is like I 
am in a darkened room
watching the screen 
of what God is doing,
I see the picture, the movements 
hear the voices 
playing out our world,
but feelings and reality are
Detached, emotions not engaged
I desire more...

Can I not stand on
wind waved 
tussock folded mountains
firm in the love
that sustains the universe?
Connected to the wild, freedom
river's life source
alive in the river,
Can I not bend
a knee and bow
kneel on the mountain
stone dirt track 
the journey path
Kneel
before a king with the
power to raise the dead
and kiss a child,

Can I not look closer
and see the small delicate star
flowers hidden in the grass
blue and white dots
attention to DNA detail 
in a vast landscape,
Can I not wait, stilled
intimate in the silence
prepared to hear His voice,
Can I not stand again
shout outpouring praise 
that echoes a thousand valleys 
Reverberating across the plains 
to the white capped rolling seas,
Can I not awaken the land
with my call to prayer
A call to roots planted
deep in God's heart
A generation
established strong
stepping out
reviving outpouring
the ancient future
promises...

It is Time!

Can I not?
Can I not...
Can I not!
I Can!

Prompt
A prophetic call to come closer to God, to be with Him, intimate, and shouting in worship to Him knowing it is time for revival in us and the world around.

Feeling detached, dry, apart from God, revival in intimacy and prayer with God

Look Up

Look up
see soaring alps 
snow capped mountains moving
waving as the bridegroom 
comes close,
His spirit rolling 
revival ahead
of His steps,
See what he carries
a supernatural picnic feast
abundance from heaven's stores,
and He invites
the crowds, the churches
the people, 
To come and be held
gathered in His love,
united in His healing
people of the land
first, old and new
past and present 
Reconciled
to sit, relax
to enjoy his bounty,
His flavour, 
His favour, His compassion
draw in, gather in,
the party in the park
Pray in, pray in,
belief in his provision,
deepened in his love,
and he strikes
the ground 
living water
flows, bubbles out,

And the crowds 
dance on rivers
living streams
in their hearts,
On their lips,
one in the same river
braided life spreading
greening the Canterbury plains,
the house of Lord
Comes,
Invite one and all,
Run
Hearts to the house,
shout to the Lord
Your call, your breath
Exalt the one
Who holds futures
Who loves you,
city of Christ.

And then 
in awe 
we pause,
Our heart's pounding
watching the breath
Of our lungs rise
intermingling
We raise outstretched arms
Our hands in knowing,
here in this time,
One breath
anointed
One God, one spirit
But coloured in

The depth of who we are
In Him.
The vapour rises
Released, Spreading
Bourne on the 
jet streams of the Spirit
tracking across the Earth
Flowing free
a source of praise
Touching parched lips
With joy
from Christchurch 
ends of the Earth.

Praise to the one,
Praise of the Earth,
Extol the Lamb of God.

Ephesians 5 25-27

Prompt
A call for the church of Christ in Christchurch to unite as one to see revival.
