Call Time

Call back timelessness 
Call back time
Call back the voice,
Not old ways
Not decadence
but decades
of cross centered change,
Call new vitality
new wine
from the oldest vine
planted deep
in soil, soul penetrating,
Calling, 
drawing rivers of life
to the surface.

Who can change nations?
My God!
Who can transform a culture?
My God!
Who can forever change a city ?
My God!

Call out to
Christchurch founded on Christ
rooted in 
Salvation and authority
Righteousness
peace and joy,
Call
the Church of Christ
to arise 
and stand renewed
on the cross 
centered in the city
revived in the vine.

Stand in the history of blessing
Step up into His light
Step with the Light
Stir in the Spirit 
Restoration and renewal…
Ōtautahi
Christchurch.

Starting Thoughts:
The history of Christchurch stands on a cross centered history of faith and revival from both Maori and European believers. Renewal starts with opening hearts across cultures and in respect and honour, standing on that history of blessing.

CAlling for revival from the history of Christchurch

Five Realms

Thank you Lord
for the blood
forever grace
our perfection, redemption
our purpose
our release.

We're inviting the anointing
our power,
Partnership
with the living Lord,
walking in the spirit,
Open to the new,
Experiencing
your peace.

And the praise begins
in the voice, eyes,
spirits of the people
ascending, growing
knowing God's goodness
abiding worship
releasing the glory
from timeless space.

Riches of glory, strengthening
our inner being,
And then on into
intimate cascades
unfolding revelation
of the height, depth, length
breadth of God's love.

Fullness of God
beyond understanding
Beyond who we are now,
bonded to our DNA
soul passionate
Awe of God
Majesty above.

How we get closer to God through the five realms, closer to revival - poem

The Call

Hear a hastening
a happening in the nation,
the call of a thousand voices
Oh
too often we hear
the cries of pain, suicide
violence, indifference...

But now
the clear cascading notes
Songs of birds
totora forest deep,
the very rocks embedded 
in alp snow mountains
and tumbling white water rivers
are calling out a shift,
Above myriad stars stretch 
in daylight unseen;
in night time crystal shimmers
surrounding the steadfast southern cross,
from these galaxy dimensions
emanates the challenge of 
The Light.

"tihe mauri ora"

A karanga,
a call to life
changing the spirit
over the land,

the finger tips
and nose breath,
Christ spirit of God
touches and crisps the air.

Angels and humans stir
alike in the new,
Prayer, prophetic and praise
cloaks are laid in vapour
covering the land 
of the long white clouds,
And from the mist
of a generation gone,
the call to be
fully alive 
dancing in the image
of God,
standing strong 
taking risks
honouring
being love,
knowing the One
being one
knowing He has won.

The call;
to Step together into
the flourishing fullness of God
Alive, fresh in everything.

Ephesians 3:14
Prompt
A call from the land, from God, to revival, prayer, praise and prophetic words. Being alive in God, in Jesus.

The Call: Spoken Word poetry asking where we fit in this world

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.
A city praying for Revival, Christchurch New Zealand

The Gap

Simple words
creating pain,
betrayal gaps
between you
and the person
you once knew,
friendship shipwrecked,
Uncomfortable meeting moments,
Eyes avert, 
voices whisper,
mind word games
play silently in your head.

A choice...
Bitter write off
Cut the past threads,
Or
Close the gap,
Open the heart,
words of forgiveness
given in courage.

Do you love me?
Feed my lambs.
Do you love me?
Take care of my sheep.
Do you love me?
Feed my sheep.

Do you hear?
Do you hear...
the voice of your Lord?
