What if I told you that everything that you feared existed just in your head
And all the things that made you scared was just because you let them.
What if I told you that the mountains that you refused to climb
And the valleys that you refused to run through
Were the stumbling blocks to your breakthrough.

What if I told you that you were the devil
The demon preventing you from your destiny
The one holding you back from the future you can see.
What if I say you were the one that tied your hands
And prevented your eyes from seeing that breakthrough
And great you that God has created you to become and
What if I told you
That you tied your feet
And prevented your spirit from waking up and walking into your victory.

What if
I told you that there was nothing holding you back
What if I told you that the shackles that you thought were on your hands and feet
Were actually broken off
But they existed only in your mind
Tying your mental faculties
And restraining your imaginative abilities.
And what if I told you
That the only thing preventing you from who are meant to be is YOU!

"Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage - with great patience and careful instruction."
2 Timothy 4:2

WAIT!
Before you pull the trigger of the gun pointed to your head,
Before you let your foot slip off and the rope kisses your neck,
Put the pills down for a minute and just listen
Drop the knife, turn on the lights and just breathe.

Breathe...
Feel the air rush through your nostrils
And feel it as it fills your lungs
Feel your heart beat one more time
Feel the rhythm of your soul as your blood flows through your veins.

I know that life can really be unfair.
It just beats you, breaks you, crushes you
And pushes you to the wall.
Life itself is a mystery
But sometimes it get worse.
'Cause it wounds you in its tangles and it makes you feel lost.

Light slowly disperses to darkness
On the days that you find luck.
But on every other day,
Light is nothing more than a wish.

The heavy droplets of your sweat
That fight their way through your pores
Makes you feel like
Even your body is fiercely at war with you.

Nothing matters! Nobody cares!
All I do is stand and stare
I'm standing in the rush crowd
But I've never felt this alone.

Purpose? Forget about it
Joy? Its only a mirage
Love? That's just a word that gives people false hope.
Peace? Well, I can't wait to 'Rest In Peace'.

I know this is how it seems
Emptiness and hurt all around
The truth is I can't claim to understand
Or say that I feel your pain.

But I have a friend who almost took His life
He almost quit His purpose because He felt too much pain
Abandoned by His "loving" Father
His 'friends' turned their backs on Him

He hid Himself, fell to His knees
Screamed at the top of His voice and called on His Father.
But all He could let out was whispers
Because all His strength had gone out of Him

He cried heavily
Sweated profusely
Looked at His life hopelessly
But! He made it through.
He fulfilled purpose.

So, if you tell me, I may not understand it
I may not get the loneliness that you feel
And the emptiness that surrounds you
But trust me, my friend does
His name is Jesus and He cares.

So before you lose all hope
And before you quit living, forget about purpose
And choose death.
Just talk to my friend Jesus
And He will surely send you help.

Let's take a trip down to the past
Not to 2 years back
Not even 20 years ago
But to over 2000 years ago.
Back then at Calvary
Or you may call it Golgotha
A place where blood flowed
Along with pure water.
The place of shame
From which we get our glory,
Where Jesus was slain
It's more than just a story.
Look upon that cross
Not the one on your chain,
But upon that on which Christ was slain
His battered body bleeding
He was bruised for our iniquity.
He righteous was made sin
That we may be free.
Don't tell me it was the nails
That held Him there
He could have called on angels
If we weren't dear.

The past was for now
It wasn't just a show
We have been reinstated to the place where we now glow.
We are seated up above
In heavenly places
Now we have authority
In Jesus' Name.

The past was for now
He is now our how.
We do not have to worry
About tomorrow's burdens
'Cause we have learnt to trust Him
And stand upon His word
He has been our Father
And He'll take us further.

The past was for now
To strengthen us
To become co-labourers
With God on earth.

And so in this present time
We storm the world
Not an ounce ignorant of who we truly are.
We reap souls for Heaven
Even witches in covens
With signs and wonders following
In our path of glory.
We take the lead and others follow
We blaze the trails where God's name is hallowed.

Yes! In this present time
God lives in earth
Not in buildings made by hands
But in renewed men
Confirming His word
With His visible presence.

In this present time
We wave the banner of love
For it was love that held Jesus to the cross
We now  give love unrestrained
Because love is shed in our hearts.

Don't just dwell in the past
For the past was made
That the now may be referred to the past
And have authority in the present.
We live now
And now is the time
To mend the broken-hearted
To set the captives free
To declare liberty to the oppressed
To preach the good news to the poor
And YOU are God's messenger on earth
In This Present Time.
