The best-kept secret. (Captives XIII)

Out of darkness
into the light
from the murkiness
into the might

We are the starter,
- the seed

Love is the water,
- the need

Hope is the reviver,
- the patron

Foe is the weather,
- refining the passion

Without these would the seed
instead of fruit, yield weed

Becoming futile, and useless
completely sterile, and meaningless.

The best-kept secret is that things are about to become fun!

One day will not look like any other, the people you will meet, the dreams and visions you will have, the adventures the Lord will take you on, the pain of killing your flesh and the joy of reaping the fruits of your sacrifice as you see more and more of His light and taste more and more of His sweet glory with every step you take... whew! Brace yourself.

The best-kept secret is that the kingdom of darkness did not target you for no reason. They have not been tormenting you for no reason. You have not ended up in the position you are in by mistake.

The best-kept secret is that they wanted to corrupt the purity of your God-given gift and use it for their kingdom, but don't get it twisted that gift is there and as you read the words I am writing, it is being stirred up inside you right now.

The best-kept secret is that your purpose, gifts, talents, and destiny, the real ones that are untampered by the traps of the evil one nor the poison of darkness are about to be birth and brought forth before the nations.

The best-kept secret is that the Lord is holding your hand right now and saying "Follow me", and if you do, you will be shocked at your own self, believe me.

The best-kept secret is that the Lord wants you to succeed more than you want yourself to succeed.

Why? Because He is the one who gave you the dream you have had since you were a child, He planted that seed in you: your potential.

Not in the best soil, was I sowed
but in the one that I was owed
with faith and love was I watered
with hate and woe was I weathered

Through the tragedy, the pain
came the loss, then the gain
after trauma, will be peace
before warmth, a little breeze.

For long I wondered
why must I be shattered
but just before I could give up
in my ear, a little voice spoke up

Know with certainty, and trust
that I, that you, us,
are not just decorative pieces
here to fill the world’s empty spaces.

Wake up!
Listen up!

To the little girl, the little boy
the big whirl, the big joy
laying untapped and asleep
dormant in your deep
hear their loud scream
with a dying desperate dream.

For years I heard but silenced
for too long I feared and sentenced
myself to never turn around and dare
listen, respond, and care

this is me, this is you, us,
after denial, hurt, no self trust
now made alive to the truth
that behind all the empty pursuit

lays,
The Fruit.

Potential is untapped power.
Potential is unused ability.
Potential is dormant strength.
Potential is hidden force.
Potential is all you could be but haven't become - yet.
Potential is how far you can go, but you haven't gone - yet.
Potential is who you really are, but we haven't seen - yet.
Potential is never what you've done,
But only all you can do, but you haven't done - yet.

Potential is everything that is yet unused, and still within you.

The Lord made you and equipped you with unlimited capabilities. He desires for your dreams to come to pass, your flower to bloom, and your seed to become a fruit. He watches for those dreams to come true because this generation needs what is inside of you.

Until now you had not submitted to His authority so the real you was trapped and your seed corrupt, but Glory be to God that your eyes have been opened and He has set you free.

What is inside of you was designed by the Creator for you to serve it to the nations. Today, the nations are crying out, hungry and eager to get a taste of your fruit.

From dust we came
to dust we shall return
yet the fruit is to remain
untouched by the earth’s burn

Always serving through the pain
is she, your purpose and destiny
changing the cycle, breaking the chain
will she, bring forth harvest and legacy

She took me out of the dark
into green pastures
she mended my heart
restored my failures

She gave me back my sight
healed my brokenness
revealed to me the light
transformed my liveliness

Upon you, she looks down from her tower
with a strong goal and force that is able
for she comes equipped with endless power
arms stretched out, offering you a seat at her table.

Answer the call!

The Lord is calling you to a life of sanctification and being set apart for Him to accomplish the unthinkable through you. He is calling you to a place where the entire earth may look at you and say: "There is God!"

He is calling to a journey of unpacking and unloading the parts of you that you don't know exist - yet. You cannot do it alone, nor through evil tricks and manipulations. Well, you tried that and how did it turn out for you? So why don't you try something else? You need Him.

' “ I am the true Vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.

Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that continues to bear fruit, He [repeatedly] prunes, so that it will bear more fruit [even richer and finer fruit].

You are already clean because of the word which I have given you [the teachings which I have discussed with you]. Remain in Me, and I [will remain] in you.

Just as no branch can bear fruit by itself without remaining in the vine, neither can you [bear fruit, producing evidence of your faith] unless you remain in Me.

I am the Vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in Me and I in him bears much fruit, for [otherwise] apart from Me [that is, cut off from vital union with Me] you can do nothing.

If anyone does not remain in Me, he is thrown out like a [broken off] branch, and withers and dies; and they gather such branches and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.

If you remain in Me and My words remain in you [that is, if we are vitally united and My message lives in your heart], ask whatever you wish and it will be done for you.

My Father is glorified and honored by this, when you bear much fruit, and prove yourselves to be My [true] disciples.

I have loved you just as the Father has loved Me; remain in My love [and do not doubt My love for you].

If you keep My commandments and obey My teaching, you will remain in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and remain in His love.

I have told you these things so that My joy and delight may be in you, and that your joy may be made full and complete and overflowing. ' John 15:1-11
