Winds of Change

I have a few more songs I am going to be putting up on my reverberation player along with a few short clips of some spontaneous and humorous stuff that happened throughout mine and JT's recording experience back east. We spent a total of about 12 to 14 hours a day recording. We only had 8 days to get all 37 Spiritsong's recorded because of the time constraints. I don't need to bore you with all the details, but we did take breaks in between meals and a little down time so we wouldn't burn ourselves out.  More than half of the songs we had to do took 2 to 4 or more takes so we could have at least one decent recording of each song.

Between my throbbing fingers and other obstacles, when looking back on it all it was quite hilarious, but not nearly as funny as having to get through it all at the time. If I told you what they all were, you would be rolling on the floor. But from where I was sitting it was a miracle I even got through any song successfully recorded.

The obstacles and long hours did not keep us from doing what we felt Abba wanted us to do with these songs. The fact that me and my family were able to go back east and do this after I was being prepared and led  on a 30 day fast, there could be no denying what He made possible for this to happen. I know mine and JT's expectations were to do more with the songs, but Abba wants to keep it simple and pure. What these recordings did do for me was to bring the vocals to a higher recorded quality that these ears appreciated more than I can say.

Along with these songs that have not yet been heard on the internet, I will be posting the words in between each audio of this updated blog. I was going to do it separately, but I thought it would be best to put them all up for the sake of time.

The first song I will put up is called, Winds of Change.

As I  reflected on the words and where I am presently at on this spiritual journey I was getting visual thought flashbacks of the different people who have been in and out of my life. There are quite a few who have walked along side of me and I them. There were individuals, ministries, forums and various social network groups of Christians I was a part of inside and outside of the church who had their own strong emphasis and agenda of what they held tightly to. I couldn't help but get caught up in their ideals and charismatic approach in getting me to see things their way.
 
So................. where are these people now?..........Winds of change, beloved......................I found that most of these I have been a part of fall into this category that the Holy Spirit recently brought to mind.

James 1:3-10

But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. 6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. 9 Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted:10 But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.

What I have encountered and discerned after some time from most   I had close "fellowship" with, is that they possessed a double mindedness, instability and a twisted speech (tongue) that could not be easily detected in the beginning because of their bold stand of the Truth they uttered. Such deception cast doubt on my own walk and/or the sincerity of what they professed. This brought much uncertainty, spiritual agitation and a deep unrest in my own soul throughout my spiritual walk. I knew deep down that what I lacked was the pure unadulterated Word, a call for His children to pick up their cross daily, die to self and follow Christ. (Not man, a ministry, calling, social gatherings among "Christians" ad nauseum!).

In due time, by Abba's stern, yet gentle promptings, conviction and the love of the Truth that HE put in my heart to receive, I found there wasn't the wisdom that comes from above at work in those I once had fellowship with,  but rather the wisdom that comes from the earth. (James 3:14-16~ But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.) 

Where does this envy and strife come from? Their own pride and ego that thinks "they" have the full corner on the Truth. This Truth in Christ Jesus we are called to LIVE what we profess to believe. The backbiting, jealousy and  the setting up of ones own kingdom (ministry) in the name of Jesus is apparent in the way I have seen people be treated behind the scenes.(Vicious, cruel, untrusting, vile and evil)
 
How can this being tossed about take place if these ones operating in such a way do not seek His wisdom from above? Could be they have sought for such wisdom, but could not receive it because of their compromise to the full council of Abba in His Word. They  have one foot in the world and one in the kingdom. Therefore desiring such wisdom cannot be obtained. We CANNOT  have our place alongside Abba in Christ who ALONE is to be seated on the throne of our hearts. 


This brings to mind another scripture Abba Father reminded me of in

Ephesians 4:13-15

Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all  things, which is the head, even Christ:

This double mindedness, doublespeak and being tossed about by whatever (tailored) doctrine  one chooses to suit or justify their unholy living is going on among the IONS of professed Christians today in and out of the churches. Not truly possessing the faith to uphold to the one, (wisdom from above ~ James 3:17 & 18) while reaching for the other (their carnal desires). This casts deep doubt within these hearts who claim to know Yahweh. They are like the waves of the sea driven by the wind as well as shipwrecking the faith of those around them.


They may have started out going in the right direction of the narrow path, but the secret desires lurking in their souls to  not completely let go of the world, their flesh and inflated ego keeps them from finding Abba's Way through His Son. The Way, (the narrow Way that only FEW find and stay the course) (Receiving and having the love of )Truth and His Life in place of our crucified lives. No matter how hard it becomes, no matter how much we are called to suffer for Christ as you by the Holy Spirit work out your salvation daily with fear and trembling and endure with Him till the end that you might be saved.

Now back to the song and something else Abba showed me about the Wind of change going on among SO MANY professing to know and follow Christ. I was led to 2 Timothy 3

Before you read further, please keep in mind that this scripture is not talking about the world but those who claim to know Him. The Scriptures are for our reproof (the believer and follower of Christ) NOT the world. This is what is presently going on today in epidemic proportion among so many professed followers of Christ. When you read this, it ought to bring you to your knees with profound spiritual soberness as to the state of those who profess to be God's "people" today. If you follow Abba's righteous judgements toward His physical chosen People called Israel, you can see what became of them over and over due to their idolatry, rebellion, disobedience against Yahweh and love for the world. What will become of the sons and daughters of disobedience today is much greater than we can fully comprehend. Again, please do not think such sons/daughters are referring to those who do not seek to be saved or think they are saved which cannot happen unless you endure with Him till the end. That's not my take on how it is to be, but Abba's Word that declares this "Selah" (Pause, meditate and contemplate with all your heart mind and soul )HIS  Word that sets His captives free.

This is VERY SERIOUS! What do you think happened when Abba said, "Linda, I am now bringing you into a final separation. NO MORE rubbing shoulders and keeping fellowship with those who are not walking the narrow path? It hit me so hard  that it brought me to my knees in repentance. I cried out to Abba asking what HE would have me do?

There is NO returning to anything familiar from my past, but pressing (straining) forward to what lies ahead. The UPWARD calling of Christ Jesus. To run the race of endurance patience and sharing in the fellowship of the sufferings of Christ till my last breath. Not the (falling away) upward ascending to something higher in the Name of Jesus that is the very opposite of dwelling in His High and Holy secret place in Spirit and in Truth. These ones who think  they are ascending are in fact descending. They will spiral downward and  fall into the pit of destruction, while leading many who follow these deceivers down that same road to hell, right along with them.

2 Timothy 3

Perilous Times and Perilous Men

1 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! 6 For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, 7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8 Now as Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, disapproved concerning the faith; 9 but they will progress no further, for their folly will be manifest to all, as theirs also was.

The Man of God and the Word of God

10 But you have carefully followed my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, long suffering, love, perseverance, 11 persecutions, afflictions, which happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra—what persecutions I endured. And out of them all the Lord delivered me. 12 Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. 13 But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. 14 But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, 15 and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Now onto the first song. The rest of the songs I am not led to share anything further than what you hear being sung.

Winds of Change

Exodus 34:14; Rom 6:16; Ps 102:6;Isa 24:5; Dan 2:21; Rom 1:21; Phil 3:21; Heb 1:12

Winds Of Change

The winds of change, can't you hear it blowin. His judgements now

you'll soon be knowin. Many souls sell out to buy more time.

Eternity belongs to all those who are mine.

(Chorus)

Father, You hear all of our cries. Father wipes the tears from our

eyes. Jesus, precious is Your Blood. Jesus saves us from the rising

flood. Your Spirit by Your Life we live. Your Spirit helps us to

forgive.

i see and hear all injustice abounds. Blind to it all, they rape and

pillage our towns. Despising and hating his beloved true lambs. 

He's our escape, we're in the palm of His hands.

(Chorus)

Father's anger's stirring, judging angels are sent. Come quickly,

Lord Jesus, in humility repent. You alone are Yahweh, we won't give

into fear. Against all evil is His Sword, lets now draw near.

(Chorus)

We will not shrink back, against all evil attack. We stand strong in

You, in all we're called to do. We endure until the end, our knee to

You we bend. None will take Your place, You defy all time and

space.

(Chorus)

We will not shrink back against all evil attack. We stand strong in

You, in all we're called to do. We endure until the end, our knee to

You we bend. None can take Your place, You defy all time and

space.

(Chorus)

The winds of change. O, the winds of change. The winds of change

 

Changing from Faith to Glory

Rom 5:2; 1Peter 1;7; Roms 1:17; 2Cor 3:16-18; 2Cor 10:15; 2Thes 1:4

Changing from Faith to Glory

My child follow in my Way. Hunger and thirst always for me, learn

to be. Listen to what I have to say. Don't push back the pain let

yourself hurt. In the dying you'll lose the you and gain ME instead.

I'll remove all your stain and the dirt. With the flow of MY Blood i

wash them away! In the tears of your mourning will come to Light

the dawning of a new day.

My son and daughter, come to me in suffering. This is the road to

your freedom. There's joy in a heart of sadness. The work of the

Cross will bring you gladness. My pleasure is yours in the pain we

share. That is how I teach you to care. I'll show you the balance of

this life. To LIVE you will first have to DIE. Lose yourself

IN ME and in you, I'M ALIVE!

My little boy and girl cast off every care. Don't run and hide, but

draw from MY LOVE, your Father above in you will abide. Don't

be angry for what little you know. Before time your spirit agreed.

Don't pretend anymore just let go. Be carefree have faith like a

child. Trust in ME and you'll grow. In humility made low and I will

raise and lift you up.

My Bride, wait for my coming. Assauge your heart this ache of

longing. For the hope to renew your body. Occupy yourselves IN

ME. Keep your garments pure, spotless and clean. Our Oneness by

faith you will see. What I have planned before time on that day

will be. The reign of my Bride, she will join with her King.

Love of My Life

Deut 7:9; Romans 8:15; 12:9; James 4:8; Matt 22:37; John 14:15,21; 1Tim 1:5; 1John 4:7 & 8

Love Of My Life

i Love You Lord, the Living Word. Deep in my heart, it's Your

voice i heard. Drifting inside i hear You call drawing me near,

where in You i'll abide, i'll abide.

Lord it is You i've come to know. i follow the path wherever You go.

With You i will stand, i am the clay, You mold and You shape me in

the palm of Your hand. Of Your Hand.

(Chorus)

You are the Love of my life, Loving Father. You are the Love of my

life, precious Jesus. You are the Love of my life Holy Spirit. In You

i'm One, Your will be done in this Holy temple, where in You i

belong.

i call out Your Name. i give You my life, the Peace that i claim, a

living sacrifice. i know You in death, i take up my cross. Not i but

Christ, i count all things lost,.....all things lost. Push the enemy

back, when he gets in our face and tries to attack ourshield of

faith. You prepare us a place where Your lambs will hide. With

Your blood on our hearts, no more fear. No more pride, no more;

pride.

(Chorus)

(on our hearts no more fear, no more pride, no more pride.)

This last and final audio I am putting up are short impromptu recordings and an incomplete take of "Oh Lord" with Spiritsong and JT at Zythum Studios



  
This will give you a feel, taste and picture of the experience JT and I went through recording these songs. There were QUITE a bit more, but that would surely be overkill on my part. When I was listening to them a few days back for the first time in about 2 years, I was laughing so hard my side hurt. I don't expect the same response from you who have braved it out long enough to read this far into the blog, but it's a part of my spiritual journey I wanted to share with those who might be interested.

JT at Zythum Studios (Sept 2006.)
