Seeds Planted

Your story begins with my seed Abraham
He saw Christ’s time and rejoiced in my plan.
 
From Abraham the seed would now come
You are His offspring fulfilling God’s plan
Impacting the nations in your day and time
Fulfilling the vision that started with Him.
 
What I started in you can never be stopped
No man can close what I open up
Your seed will go to every distant shore
Resulting in trees growing all over the world.
 
Your tale in time I have already told
Spoken by me before you were born
Every detail only I have known
I hold in may hand your victor’s crown.
 
I will take care of the things that seem are undone
You see, your seed is moving across the globe
In vast numbers that, 
In this life will remain untold.
 
I have met with your angel
Who has opened the scroll 
And has read of the names 
Of the seed you have sown.
 
Have no concern when your labor comes to an end
You see, many seeds out of you will carry on.
Many more trees will be planted before time comes to an end
You have been faithful with my work that was well done.
 


Get Out of Your Comfort Zone

  1. A COMFORT ZONE MEANS THE SAME ROUTINE OF ONES DAILY LIFE. IT’S A MIND SET IN WHICH ONE FEELS FAMILIAR, SAFE, AT EASE, AND SECURE.
  1. LIFE BEGINS AT THE END OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE
  1. REMEMBER, IF YOU ALWAYS DO WHAT IS EASY AND CHOOSE THE PATH OF LEAST RESISTANCE, AND YOU NEVER STEP OUTSIDE YOUR COMFORT ZONE, GREAT THINGS WILL NEVER HAPPEN
  1. YOUR COMFORT ZONES ARE YOUR GREATEST ENEMY TO GOD GIVEN POTENTIAL
  1. COMFORT IS YOUR BIGGEST TRAP COMING OUT MAY BE YOUR GREATEST CHALLENGE.
  1. DISCIPLINE, COURAGE AND CONFIDENCE ARE ONLY DEVELOPED OUTSIDE YOUR COMFORT ZONE.
  1. WE HAVE TO BE HONEST. WE MUST NOT LIE TO OURSELVES BY MAKING CONVENIENT EXCUSES TO STAY IN OUR COMFORT ZONE.
  1. ONE CAN CHOOSE TO GO BACK TOWARD SAFETY OR FORWARD TOWARD GROWTH. GROWTH MUST BE CHOSEN AGAIN AND AGAIN.  FEAR MUST BE OVERCOME AGAIN AND AGAIN.
  1. A SHIP IN A HARBOR IS SAFE, BUT THAT’S NOT WHAT A SHIP IS BUILT FOR.
  1. IF YOU DON’T STEP OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE AND FACE YOUR FEARS, THE NUMBER OF SITUATIONS THAT MAKE YOU UNCOMFORTABLE WILL KEEP YOU FROM GROWING.
  1. DREAMS AND VISIONS ARE YOUR CREATIVE MOTIVATIONS FOR YOUR LIFE. YOU MUST BREAK OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE AND BECOME COMFORTABLE WITH THE UNFAMILIAR AND THE UNKNOWN.
  1. LIFE LOSES ITS MEANING WHEN WE GET STUCK IN OUR COMFORT ZONE. IF YOU REMAIN IN YOUR COMFORT ZONE YOU WILL NOT GO ANY FURTHER.
 


LIFT UP YOUR EYES

LIFT UP YOUR EYES

John 4:35

 

I HEARD SOMEONE CRYING,
UNTIL THEN I DID NOT SEE,
THE CRIES OF MANY GENERATIONS,
COME SO SUDDENLY.
REVELATIONS OF THE HOPELESS,
LOST IN TIME AND SPACE,
EMOTIONS FILLED WITH WONDER
ABOUT THE HUMAN RACE.
WHY O WHY, DEAR JESUS
IS MY HEART SO COLD,
I CAN ONLY KNOW YOU
AS YOUR LOVE IS SHONE.
OH DEAR JESUS HEAR MY HEART’S DEEP CRY,
MAKE ME ONE WITH YOUR HEART
SEEING THROUGH YOUR EYES,
LOOKING AT THE LOST AND DYING

AS YOUR HIGHEST PRIZE.

NEW RELATIONSHIPS

GIVE THANKS FOR NEW RELATIONSHIPS

 New relationships will come your way,

Called by God to bring you a better day,
Committed to you in all their ways,
Faithful in all they say,
Enriching your life in every way,

SEATED WITH CHRIST IN HEAVENLY PLACE

 SEATED WITH CHRIST IN HEAVENLY PLACE

Ephesians 2:6

 

Resting securely in His finished work,

Reigning as a kingdom of priests in the earth,

 

Beholding the wonders of His new birth,

The hidden mysteries of His Kingdom revealed in us

 

Transformation has come by His Grace

Transcending far above time and space

 

Seated with Him in the most holy place

Ruling and reigning forever with Christ

 

                                Pastor Michael Baranek



THE MYSTERY OF HIS KEYS

THE MYSTERY OF HIS KEYS

Matt. 16:18-19

 

Our life is a mystery hidden in Christ,

He holds the keys that He was given to us.

We loose on earth His future plans,

His power entrusted into our hands.

We now open that which no man can close,

And we bind on earth that which He shows.

You are seated with me in Heavenly Places

I will give you authority over the destiny of nations.

Pray and fast about this riddle that I have given

And you will surly understand the keys of my Kingdom.

The Iron Did Swim

THE IRON DID SWIM     2 KINGS 6:6

 

You see I specialize in raising what was lost from the dead.

I make fallen axe heads float at my command,

They will be completely restored in the Master Craftsman’s hand.

 

To keep you razor sharp is foremost in my plan,
To keep you tightly secure on my handle

Restoring complete soundness once again.

 

You will fell the timbers that will build my house 

Your usefulness will excel in my strength

Never think at this time it is now too late

My power to restore is never out of date.

 

Axe heads will fly off their handles and sink

Appearing hopelessly lost in the murky deep.

But for sunken old axe heads it is never too late

You see restoration is all my delight.

 

The cry “alas” will I hear once again

 The stick has been cast that rose Christ from the dead.

The losses of this life I have overcome

Restoration is certain through the power of His Son.

 

Pastor Michael Baranek



Set Apart to do the Impossible

Set Apart to do the Impossible
1 Cor. 1:26-29
 
Champions are champions
Because they emerge
From an underdog position
of impossible odds against them
to win heroic upsets
