Matrix Moments

The mantle
has been placed
on your life,
the cloak of destiny
and revelation,
the vision of
what God has for you,
the vision of how God sees
and deeply loves you
His future dreams and hopes
Leading Your mind, will, soul
Layers to be revealed
affirming your identity.

So
Let go of the wounds
let go of the sins
embrace vulnerable,
Seek counsel
for the journey
in the disappointment, grief, fear
in the tiredness, stress and tests
Seek healing,
live a transforming
beautiful life
by taking the next step
faithful and free again.

For God
Loves you too much
to keep you small
You are now
going to grow
through process and promise
Renewed thoughts of
life and destiny intertwined
You will Stand
in your place
Declaring and decreeing
change in Christ
This is our adventure
in the kingdom...

‘He waka eke noa’
A canoe which we are all in
with no exception

Starting Thoughts: A video spoken word poem on encouraging us to step into renewal, vision and identity and letting go of those things that hinder us.

One hundred and twenty
Personalities waiting
Fifty days after Easter,
could have been anywhere
in a city,
an upstairs crowd of disciples
a temple
in a room,
One hundred and twenty
Minds counted
backwards over ten long days,
a waiting cluster
of fear, praise, hope, faith, prayer
minds and hearts expanding
and contracting their emotions,
Lungs expanding
and contracting on-hold breaths,
And a second ticked by
Maybe a same moment repeated
At the end of the second
time changed
ordinary phased into extraordinary
God moved
and energy danced,
Overpowering wind roared
a sound reverberating
beyond the building
Shaking those in the room
And history repeated
The Pillar of fire
appeared in the room
Awe danced in the Retina reflections
of the disciples as they looked
the fiery column Separated
into Tongues of fire
God’s glory fire
Poured over each one
Poured inward
engulfing
each person present
filling them top to bottom,
encounters exploded within
sparked by the fire of God,
Power for a people to shine
witnesses, living testimonies
empowered
inside and out
ignited with love,
Equipped for mission,
Known by Jesus
now moving
to make Jesus known.

There is something wonderful
about the power of God
Will you go to the room?
Will you pray?
Will you dream?
Will you ask?
Will you open?

Harare mai, Wairua Tapu. (Welcome Holy Spirit)

Starting Thoughts: A video spoken word poem on Pentecost. The Disciples were in a room aware that they were waiting for something to happen, following the crucifixion, resurrection and accession of Jesus. The Holy Spirit -the Helper - was about to pay them a visit.
Bible Verses: John 12:23-24 , Acts 1: 8-11

Hello again old outside world - changed forever world
Goodbye unchanging, house locked inside routines
Hello bike riding, kite flying, sunshine swimming
Goodbye book reading curled up sun-soaked window seating
Hello takeaway Thai - fast food taste temptress
Goodbye homemade baking sweetness expanding waistline
Hello grandchild; toy floor explosion and smiling hugs
Goodbye everyday closeness with my wonderful wife.

Starting Thoughts: A poem in the form of Hello Goodbye for processing emotions around a theme. In this case the Covid 19 Lockdown release, from shut in to freedom?

Peace that flows inside out
Cascading into my heart
A Love that creates vulnerability
Sees my flawless
beyond my flaws,
A Love with the unending
persistent
effervescent flow
of heaven,
intimate Love from an
lover who creates destiny,

I am a child of God
I Know it!
I Love it!
I Live it!

What was the reason
you were made?

Starting Thoughts: The love that sees us as flawless, that goes beyond forgiving to see us reborn!

Sad salt water tears
blues from a Fish tanked death,
Sunshine feet running enjoyment
flying kite swooping in windy sky, 
Grumpy red thin lips
favourite takeaway shop closed,
Lazy warm sunlight Sunday
Window seat couch potato reading;
Life’s Extremes.

Starting Thoughts: A bit of fun with Bitmoji's and Feelings.

Stop
Be still
Be open
Know…

Know love
Know the One above
Know I am
Know God is God

Stop
Surrender
Rest
In Expectation…

Know Power
Know the Ancient One
Know the Mighty Voice
Know the whisper of faith

God will be God!

Starting Thoughts: Do we need to STOP, to catch a moment where our hearts and minds slow giving time for our spirits, our souls, to catch up.

The sly affections of
the dreams
inside my head
whispering tender thoughts
dripping poison searing
entertaining ways
of who I am or could be
soaking mind deep,
I am
floating in my reflections
disconnected to the world
wandering around signposts to hopes
carnival streets of colour confusions
false fun and cheering crowds
noise and business
montage media
playing my life,
suspended between worlds
of one moment
rosy cheeked and apple pie
next time
depression and death dealing,
feelings without reason,
yesterday’s lies
blind to what I tell them today,
yesterday’s mistakes
seemingly unforgiven again
stuck in a world
made in my head
created by me.

Will I hear the whisper in the wind?

Starting Thoughts: Mental health involves sharing, being vulnerable, being present. Knowing that we are precious and truly loved in God's eyes and that we don't need to 'perform' for or to others.

Multiply words
to cover your faults
to harden your mask
to smother your feelings,
maths extinction.

Starting Thoughts: Mental health involves sharing, being vulnerable, being present.
