The Writer

 My heart is on fire, boiling over with passion.  Bubbling up within me are these beautiful lyrics as a lovely poem to be sung for the King!  Like a River bursting its banks, I’m overflowing with words, spilling out into this sacred story.   Psalm 45:1 The Passion Translation

I discovered the incredible passion of this psalm over 25 years ago walking in the misty morning on the coastline of the Olympic Peninsula.   I was on vacation with my family and got up at dawn and decided to walk the beach and talk with God.  I opened my NKJV Bible to Psalm 45 and started to read it as I walked along.  I don’t think I had ever read this Psalm before or if I did, I did not understand the depth of these words.  My heart felt like it was about to explode.  My heart became filled with words that I couldn’t seem to speak.  My silence was actually singing deep inside my soul and spirit. 

When I returned to my home in New York, I was showing my dad my photos.  He saw one I took that morning on the beach.  He was intrigued by it.  My dad was an amazing photographer, that he would take notice of a snapshot I don’t remember even taking that morning on the beach was notable.  He had it enlarged and mounted for me.  It was such a gift from the Lord and from my earthly dad.  My dad had no idea what meaning that photo held for me.  At that time in my life I did not even know how to explain it.  In that misty morning the Holy Spirit ignited the bridal love in my being for Jesus, my Bridegroom.

As a songwriter, God so often gives me His words to sing to His people and words to return my love to Him.  But there are times my heart is so overwhelmed, so filled that there are not words that can express the Love God is.  Those are the times when Jesus holds my heart.  Those are the moments in time when He writes destiny in my heart and I catch a glimpse of eternity with Him.

Elohim The Unbroken

Image
Elohim (Strong's # H-430) is the first name of God that appears in scripture in Genesis 1:1.   In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Elohim is translated as God.    The name Elohim comes from the root, elah or el meaning, “strong or mighty.”   Elohim is associated with the idea of a “strong creator.”    The ancient meaning of El is “one who holds authority over others.”     The ending added to the word elah or el makes this word plural yet it is used with singular verbs and adjectives.    Elohim is plural but used as singular thousands of times in the Old Testament.   When elohim is used in the plural sense it is usually in reference to pagan gods and not referring to the God of Israel.  From a Christian perspective we can see the trinity expressed in this name (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) but the corporate Godhead was also part of the Hebrew understanding from the Tanakh (Old Testament Scr...

Yaveh/Yehovah/LORD

Image
In the Old Testament, in most translations you will notice that the word Lord will appear in all capitals, LORD or with the first letter capitalized and the following letters in lower case, Lord .    The translators have done this to delineate between the two Hebrew words translated as, Lord.   The later is a general title and the other is the personal name of God revealed by God Himself to man.     Yahveh/Yehovah   Strong's #  H- 3068        The Hebrew word for LORD first appears in Genesis, Chapter 2 just before the creation of man.   Prior to that time the name Elohim was used.    In Genesis, Chapter 2 the writer uses the name LORD God or Yahveh Elohim .   Some Christian writers will attribute this change in name to the creation account being pieced together from many sources.   The more traditional Christian and Jewish view is that Moses wrote the first five books of the Bible or Torah and there is...

Bride of Holy Fire

Image
 Holy Spirit is preparing the bride through worship, a worship that is deeply rooted in our hearts.  The Spirit is blowing on the smoldering coals within us and producing flames of desire to be with our Eternal Bridegroom.  It is not just knowledge of Him as Savior and what He has done for us, but a deep desire to be with Him.  This worship of the heart speaks His name as we open our eyes from sleep and is our last thought as we drift off to sleep at night.  It is a desire that causes us to search for Him in our everyday experiences.  It prompts us to look for Him in every circumstance.  It is worship that sings throughout our days, in the best and the worst of times.  This depth of worship will bring about the return of the Bridegroom.  Only God the Father knows the hour of His Son’s return and He is waiting for a bride who will be ready for His Son.  A bride who loves Him, desires Him and desires for Him to be her husband.  His br...
