I was listening to this song. I can say my heart melted while listening to this song. I am in chains now. I think we all have something that we are chained up about. Rather it be the past, whats going on right now,or for things in the future. I feel this song to be a prayer that we need to say. Something along the lines of what the song talks about at least! I know I am going to be using this song AS my prayer. We need to show the devil that we are stronger then the chains that he has wrapped around us. Cause we have God working through us! God has gave this power and this freedom to tell the devil no more. The devil hates this song. This song is dissing the devil on so many levels! Its telling the devil that he cant hold us in chains anymore. Go ahead, before you read on, tell the devil NO MORE for whatever it is he is doing in your life that is keeping you from God. Im going to do the same thing before I type the rest here. Go ahead, name it OUT LOUD! Proclaim it with your lips!…………………………………………………… I dont know about you but I feel AMAZING after telling the devil off! I said no more can he hold me in my chains because I am a new person in Christ! Thank you Lord Jesus! I pray to be a lover of God and my Savior EVERY DAY no matter what! Keep the faith my brothers and sisters! I love you! God bless!:)
My Sacrifice
“My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit, a broken and contrite heart that You, God, will not despise” Psalm 51:17
Setting- Girl in her room on her knees praying next to her bed.
Lord, Where are you when I need you. Its almost like you are never around. I need you so much right now Lord. See, I don’t know where to begin. I’ve been doing drugs, I’ve been drinking, I’ve been out clubbing every weekend for the past year. I don’t know what it is, but I’m missing something. I don’t know what it is, but something is not there. I’m not happy anymore with my life. I’m not happy with the way I have been living. At first I loved it so much. But now look at me, I’m on the floor crying my eyes out to someone I’m not even sure is listening! But I’m desperate right now. I’m not liking what I am doing. I’ve stopped eating cause I’ve gained a few pounds, I’ve been cutting in places where no one can see. And I need some kind of love. I need some kind of love that I can hold onto. Not the fake love I’ve been getting from guys who have sex with me at the clubs. I want real love. A love that is so pure and true. A love that will never go away! God, I have heard about your love. But it seems too good to be true. I have nothing to offer you but myself. I cant promise I’m going to be perfect. I don’t want you to hate me if I mess up.*She starts crying even harder* I can’t stand to be a messed up girl in your eyes! *She finds her bible and starts reading it at the page she opens up on.* Lord, If I give my life to you, You won’t hate me if I mess up? I want to try it. My sacrifice is a broken spirit, a broken and contrite heart that you will not despise. I pray you wont hate me. This is the only thing I have to offer you. But I want your love so bad. I want you to change me into anything as long as I can break free from this life.
What she has heard
Shannon Watson
Age: 17
12th grade
What she has heard.
After school one day I was walking around, just looking for a place to be by myself. When I found the perfect spot, I saw a girl sitting there already. I was about to walk away before she saw me, but I looked at her. She’s curled up in a ball, her knees to her chest and her head on her knees. She was shaking violently. Then she looked up at me, and I saw the tears, smeared makeup, and the redness in her eyes. I could tell she had been crying for a while.
“Get out of here! What the hell are you thinking just watching me cry!?” She said, starting to sound really angry.
“I’m sorry, I was just trying to be by myself, and when I saw you here, I saw you were shaking. I was wondering if you we O.K.” I said with concern in my voice.
“Well, as you can see, I’m crying my eyes out. But it’s nothing YOU can help with!” She said as tears started to run down her face again.
“Well, I do know that it’s never good to keep in anything. I’ve done that before, and I hate what I turn into when it finally comes out.” I said sitting down next to her.
“Well why should I talk to you, I don’t even know you!” She said sounding annoyed.
“You may not know me, but sometimes the best people to let things out to are strangers.” I said. “You can trust me. And think about it, who am I going to tell?” I said in a little laugh.
“Well, OK, no one knows this and I’ve been going through it for a long time. But before I go any more into it, I think you might want to know my name is Amber.” She said looking down at her feet.
“Well Amber, It’s nice to meet you. My name is Shannon.” I said giving her a thumbs up.
“ Okay, see, I’m not your typical “nice girl”. I lie, cheat, steel, and I can have up to five boyfriends and girlfriends at a time, none of them knowing about the other. I was known at my last school as “The little slut” cause I went out with so many people at once.” Amber told me still looking to the ground and tears rolling down her eyes.
I could not figure out why she was telling me this much so far. It sounds like she’s enjoyed it if she’s done it for a while. But Amber went on.
“I enjoyed all of it. I loved the attention, I love the feeling of both a boy’s and a girl’s touch. And I like not having to pay for anything and just getting by. But recently I had a bunch of weird Jesus Freak people come up to me saying that if I did not believe in Jesus, I was going to hell, and they were forcing me to accepting Him.” Amber said as she hugged her knees again.
“Well Amber. Believe it or not, I’m a Jesus Freak myself. But what they did was wrong. They should not have said that. They should not of forced you to do anything. Cause that is not what it’s about.”
“I have heard so many things about Jesus. I just avoid anything to do with it all together.” Amber said, as she tried to calm down.
“Well tell me, What have you heard about Jesus?” I said, hoping I could help her out.
“Well I heard that He only loves the people who follow Him. I heard that he hates people who party a lot, and hate people who are gay, and hate people steal and lie and cheat and steal. And I am ALL of those things. I don’t follow Him, I party, and drink, I am bi sexual, I lie,and cheat and so on! I am ALL the things that Jesus hates!”Amber told me.
My heart hurt for her. I had tears rolling down my eyes because of all the lies she had been told. Because of the hurt I can see in her eyes. I had a feeling that more than just some radical Jesus Freaks told her.
“Amber, did you hear all of this from the radical Jesus Freaks?”
“No, I heard this from friends. They all have gone to church and would come back laughing at what the pastor said. But I do believe that there is something there. I do believe that their possibly could be a Jesus. Then when the Jesus Freaks came up to me saying I was going to hell, I was first like what ever. Then I remembered what I heard about hell. And I got scared.” She said as she started crying all over again just thinking about that horrible place, that horrible name.
“Amber.” I said crying myself now as I hugged her out of no where. “I am so sorry Amber! I’m so sorry you were told all of this! All of what you heard is a lie! That is not what Jesus is like!” I told her.
“Then what is Jesus like. Cause now I know nothing!” Amber said in a bit of a laugh.
I first just hugged her and took the time to say a short prayer. Then I started talking.
“First off, Jesus does not hate ANYONE! What he hates is what people do. Not the people who do them. And if you started off life bad, you’re not going to hell because of it. I used to be the same way. I did drugs, partied, and I was a lesbian. I did not even like boys at the time. It was girls all the time.” I started crying just at the thought of who I was before. Amber started hugging me this time. But I took a deep breath and I went on.
“See, I did all of it cause I felt like I was missing something. I felt like…”
“YOU TOO!?” Amber interrupted me. “I feel like something is missing. That’s why I do it all! Cause I get filled for a bit. I have something to live for when I do all of it.”
“Yea, I felt like I was on a highway to nowhere. I felt lost. All the things I did I just did to see if I could fill that void. But nothing ever did.”
“Did? Meaning you found it now?” Amber asked me.
“Yes. Ill tell you how. I was on my way to an after part after a major party a friend of mine just had. We were all drunk. Now I don’t remember anything when I’m drunk, but I remember this night like it was yesterday. My best friend was drving the car and I was in the backseat. My girlfriend was in the backseat with me and my best friend had her boyfriend with her in the front. We were all kissing and blasting the radio and singing to anything that came on, even if we did not know it. Then my best friend swerved off the road. She started screaming and I stopped kissing my girlfriend to see what was wrong. I look and I see we are going right at a tree! Someone else that was following up behind us was drunk as well, and was just following us. He did not realize that we were off the road. He slams right behind us flying us into the backs of the seats and my best friend hits the tree in front of us full force. It was so hard that the tree fell on our car. Someone driving by called 911. But I did not know it. I was dead. My heart stopped cause of the impact and shock.”
I stopped for a few seconds to thank God that I was alive, and I saw Amber crying at the story. But I took a deep breath and I went on.
“When I opened my eyes, the first thing I did was scream. Cause I was in pain. Not from the car crash, but from the flames that were around me. I was in hell. I was there for what seemed like forever. Then I woke up and came back to earth. I was still in the car, everything was the way that it was. I started crying and I tried to calm down. “My girlfriend was holding my hand trying to tell me it was going to be ok. That we would make it out together. My mind was numb of what had just happened that I could not speak to her. I was just there.” Amber looked at me like I was some kind of walking miracle or something. “Then fire rescue came. We were able to get out of the car and the car was ruined. But we did not care. We had made it out alive. My girlfriend started to kiss me and I passed out. Next thing I know I’m in the hospital in a room with my girlfriend in the bed next to me. I said to my girlfriend ‘Ashley, what happened?’ She told me ‘You passed out after I kissed you and I did the same thing. Only after you had hit the ground. They put us here for now to keep us safe.’” My mind went back to that day. The day that I was more scared then I had ever been in my life as I started to cry harder. Amber said “Do you want to stop the story, I can tell its hurting you.” I looked up at her and said “No, its fine.” I went on with the story as I was thanking God I was OK. “I could not talk to her. I could not talk at all. Its like my mind was lost. I could think something, but not say it. I fell asleep for what seemed like a few hours, to wake up 3 days later. Ashley was in my bed with me, but it had looked like she had gone home. ‘What happened?’ She said ‘you have been asleep for three days. The doctors said not to worry about you. My parents came and picked me up, and your parents and friends have been here a lot.’ I looked over to see a roomful of get well soon balloons and flowers for me. Ashley kept going. ‘I’ve been here as much as possible just waiting for you to wake up.’ She bent over and kissed me, and I did not make a reaction.” Amber could tell where the story was headed. “I said to Ashley ‘Look, When we were in that car, I had passed out. Do you know where I found myself? In hell. I mean I was dead for what seemed like forever. My skin burned so bad. I was screaming that the top of my lungs until my throat hurt, and I still kept screaming. You have no idea how happy I was that I woke up.’ Ashley looked at me and said ‘ok? Why are you telling me this?’ I said almost crying to her ‘What we are doing is not right. Being together as girlfriends is just not right. I used to go to church, and I would hear all of it and believe it. But when I fell for you, I gave it up. Cause I did not want to believe I was going to hell. But truth is, we will. And not just gay couples. I mean everyone not following Jesus!’ Ashley just looked at me with tears in her eyes. ‘Shannon, do you have any idea how long I have wanted to tell you that?’” Amber looked up with wide eyes! Getting really shocked at the story! Amber said “Your kidding me! Did that really happen?” “Yes it did. I was as blown away as you are.” I said to her as I kept on with the story. “She hugs me and says ‘I accepted Christ a while back, but I still loved you very much! So I kept doing what I did just for you. As I grew more and more in faith, I started crying every night cause I was killing myself to make you happy!’ Ashley said as she let go of me. “Ashley, you did not have to kill yourself to make me happy. I’m sorry that you felt you had to do that! I would not of wanted that for you!’ Ashley went over to her book bag and pulled out her bible. ‘I know I could not of done anything to help you, but I was praying that somehow you would accept Jesus. The past two days I’ve been here in the bed with you, praying over and just reading my bible.’ Ashley got back into my bed as she started reading me a verse. ‘As water reflects the face, one’s life reflects the heart Proverbs 28:19.’ Ashley closed her bible after that. ‘That’s the verse I read today an hour before you woke up. I found I was not doing that. But I should have been and I’m sorry.’ ‘Ashley, its ok. Now we have each other not as girlfriends, but as friends, helping each other out.’” Amber was really surprised. “So that day you came to Christ?” I nodded and said to her “I found Christ, Ashley got stronger in Christ, and we have been helping each other out ever since. Yes it’s really hard cause we used to do all the bad thing together, but its cool cause we keep each other away from it. The feelings for each other are still there, but we avoid them as much as possible by not being alone.
Amber was just looking at me in total shock of the story. It took a bit before she could say something. “Wow. That is just…Wow.”
I could tell she was having a bit of trouble thinking about what to say about the story.
“Don’t worry, I was the same way after it all happened. Ashley is still my best friend too. We were crying the other night just thinking about all that God has done.”
“Shannon, do you have any regrets about accepting Jesus?” Amber asked a bit concerned.
“No, never have I had any regrets. There are times where it’s hard, but no regrets.”
I could tell Amber wanted to meet Jesus, to feel what it was like to feel something that was true for once. But I could tell she had been hurt. Her hurt was getting in the way of her accepting Christ. I could tell.
“How many times have you been hurt?” I asked Amber.
“You know, I lost count. It was around the 20 area. Why?” Amber asked confused.
“You have been hurt so many times, your not sure about Jesus are you?”
Amber nodded her head in agreement.
I had an opening here. So I went for it.
“Amber…Do you want to feel the love I have found?”
Amber looked me right in the eyes and said “Yes. I want it.”
“Then would you like to pray with me? To feel that love for yourself?” I said knowing right then God was going to do something amazing to show himself to Amber.
“Yes” Amber said with a smile.
So I grabbed her hands and I started praying for her.
“Lord Jesus, I thank you so much for Amber’s life. I thank you that I came over here! I feel like you wanted us to meet and to talk to her about You Lord Jesus. I have a feeling, God, that you are going to do amazing things in Amber’s life and that You are going to move in her and use her for You’re plan. Father God I pray that you show Yourself to her right now Lord Jesus, Have her feel your love Lord Jesus, Father God I pray in the name of Jesus that she feels You’re love in a way so amazing. That she will remember what it was like to feel her first real love for the rest of her life! I pray Lord Jesus that you lift her up from where she is and make her your Daughter. I pray this in your name, Amen”
I still had my eyes closed praying in my head for her and I felt her let go of my hands and herd her crying. I thought I should leave it alone and let her have her moment with God. About five minutes later, I open my eyes and I found her on the floor, her eyes closed and her hand on her chests. She was breathing hard, she was saying something I could not understand. I felt God tell me lay my hand on her chest. After I did, Amber shot up and started crying again. She just looked at me with a smile on her face.
“Shannon, wow! I just had my first moment with God and that was just the most amazing thing ever! I had a vision! I saw a cross, and I was praying at it, and I heard Gods voice tell me ‘Amber, Welcome to the family of Christ. Any Christian that you may meet, is part of your family of Christ. They are all your brothers and sisters. It’s not going to be easy to follow me, but you’re strong and brave, just the way I made you. I want you to tell people about my love. That is my plans for you’re life. To make my name known. You are allowed to share this as an example of my love. Amber, I love you and don’t forget it ever.’ Then I felt a jolt of fire go into my heart as I woke up.”
I then knew why I had placed my hand on her heart. We got up from the back of the school to see we had been talking for an hour and a half.
“Wow, time flies when you’re talking about Jesus huh? Amber said as she started laughing.
I could not help but to laugh to. I knew that Amber was off to a new start. I was just glad that God lead me to meet her. I knew that she was going to be off and she was going to have such a fire in her heart for Jesus.
Just the way He is.
The sun shining, the birds singing, the trees and grass wave “hi” to you as your drive by. But do you see it? No, none of us do. We wont take the time to notice the wind playing with our hair, the sun smiling down, the clouds playing picture games with us, and the fact that God made it all. Sometimes I think that God can talk to us though little things like that. If we could all take the time out of phones, and ipods and PDA’s, we could listen to Him. I love the way God can talk to us. Like when the rain comes down I feel as if He is washing me from my sin. When the birds sing I feel as if Hes telling me to be happy. When cloud shapes go by, I look at the shape and I’ll either laugh at His humor or see the message He’s trying to tell me. Just so many little thing in everyday life, can turn into a conversation with God at any time. But we need to take the time to just KNOW that He is there with us. We need to take the time to just sit down somewhere and say “God, how are you doing today?” We need to take the time to see that God is there with us all the time. Cause He IS there with us, He DOES want to know what we have to say, He DOES want us to see that He is with us all the time. This God, this powerful God wants us to know Him cause he loves us, cause He wants a relationship with us. Why? Well, thats just the way He is.
What Faith can do.
“O.K, I’m done with my work.” She said to the professor as she turned in her work. “Well then you are free to go” She said to her. Amy walks out of the class and off campus to the church across the street. She walks up to the 2nd floor to the sanctuary. She looks around and she sees that no one is there. In the middle of the center aisle, she falls to her knees as she begins to cry. She covers her mouth as she lets out a muffled scream. The past week had been her worst week ever. She did not tell anyone anything, and everything that had built up inside of her started to come out in the church. She let her anger and her feelings come out as she hugged her bible asking God to give her the strength to go on, to keep fighting another day. She covers her mouth as she lets out another muffled scream, only louder this time. A man passing by the door of the sanctuary sees Amy screaming. He stands there as he watches Amy scream, cry, and pray. He walks into the sanctuary and sits down next to Amy in one of the pews. He taps Amy on the shoulder as she looks up. The man had long brown hair, and bight brown eyes and had a bright light in them, and a very comforting smile that showed compassion. “Whats wrong” he asked her. Amy, feeling a little embarrassed as she thought about how long he could have been watching her, said “I just had a rough week” as she tried to calm down so she could talk in a normal voice. “Well I can see that” the man said. “You want to explain?” Amy thinks why this random person is asking her to share whats going on. But thinking of the fact that she had let everything build up like it had, it would be nice to talk to someone about it. She gets up from the floor and sits down next to the man in the pew. Then Amy started explaining her week. “Well, its really hard to explain. But I have not told anyone about it cause I feel weird talking about it. But I know you really cant judge me cause you dont even know me!” she let out a slight laugh as she went on explaining” I met this guy at college over the summer. He was cute, and he was really into me. I started sharing my faith with him and he said he believed the same things. He knew alot about Christ, taught me alot, read the bible together. And we went on a few dates. Few days ago, I invited him over to my house so he could help me with some computer homework. He helped me with my homework and my mom said he could stay and hang out for a while what she went to a meeting downtown. So we went into my room and…..” Amy stopped as she tried not to cry again, but started crying anyway as she kept explaining the best she could. “we started watching TV. After a while he started kissing me and we were just having fun doing that. When I felt myself getting tempted I told him to stop. But he would not. I said to him ‘ Alex, please, stop…..I dont want to go too far!’ But he did not listen. He pulled off my shorts and took off my shirt and started to……..abuse me” Amy started crying more now. The man just looked as her and gave her a hug as she tried to finish the rest of the story. “After an hour of him covering my mouth so I would not scream, and abusing me, he grabbed my cell phone, erased everything I had of his, and left. Just left without a word. I called my mom and told her what happened and she said ‘dont brush your teeth, dont change clothes, dont do anything to yourself. Im coming home right now and were going to report this.’ After we reported it, she took me to the hospital. They said everything was fine but to come back in a few days just to make sure.” At this point Amy could not control her crying. The man said “wait here.” When he came back he gave Amy a cup of water. Amy drank the water to calm down. After that she started again. “So yesterday we went back. They wanted to make sure I did not have AIDS or anything like that. They found nothing like that, but they did find something….” She stopped as she rubbed her stomach. The man said “Your pregnant?” Amy looked down and said “yes….I am” The man looked at her. He was thinking about what to say to her. “So what are you going to do?” The man asked. “Well, my mom wants me to get an abortion. But she told me its whatever I want to do. And I said no. I did not want an abortion. I am aware its going to mess up my life for a while, and that its going to be hard….But Im not going to kill a life because some idiot had abuse me. Not to baby’s fault.” Amy smiled and she rubbed her stomach again. “In a way I’m happy, but I still cant believe I got abused. I know thats not the real word to use, I just dont want to use the word. Its too painful right now.” The man looked at her and out of no where starts to talk to Amy. “Listen. I can tell this is hard for you but your doing the right thing! This baby is going to be a BEAUTIFUL child of God. No matter how he or she came to be, its still Gods child and God knew it was going to happen. God does not make mistakes! I feel that He wants you to have this baby and to be an example to other rape victims out there who WOULD get an abortion. I feel God is going to use you in the next nine months coming up. I feel God is going to provide for your needs and give you what you need and wont give you anymore then you cant take. Hes going to be with you every step of the way an He is very proud of you. He wants you to remain strong and to never let your guard down.” Amy just looked at him, her mouth was open and staring at him in disbelief! After she got over the shock of what he was telling her, she asked him “Do you really think so?” The man told her, “I know so. Now this is going to sound weird, but can I pray with you Amy?” Amy looked at him and said “Sure” They started to pray together. Amy could feel her spirit filling up like never before. She covered her eyes as she cried to the beautiful prayer the man was saying. She listened closely. As soon as the man said “amen”, Amy looked up and he was gone. She looked around, went all over the sanctuary and could not find him. She just stood there and thought to herself “Was that………..Jesus……..in a vision!?” She went back to her seat and she saw the cup that the man had brought to her. She could not believe it. It was no vision. Jesus showed himself to her. In a human form. She thought back on the mans appearance, and felt kinda stupid for not seeing it before. He looked like Jesus! It was no wonder she found comfort in his smile. She picked up her bible and started to read. After a few minutes she gets up and walks out of the church to go to her next class. Thanking God for everything He was going to do.
(THIS IS NOT A TRUE STORY. THIS STORY WAS WRITTEN TO SHOW GODS GLORY!)
Hotel California
On a dark path in my life
with tears coming down
wanting a new way to live
to have my life turned around
so far out of my reach
I saw a glimpse of light
But I was being pulled away by my sin
I did not have the strength to fight.
Satan was blocking my way
Telling me not to go
And I was thinking to myself
“This is not the person i should follow”
Then Jesus came to my rescue
And He showed me the way
Out of sin and into the light
Then I heard Him say
“Welcome my child, I have missed you
For all theses years(for all these years)
I was waiting here
“Welcome to my Kingdom, I adore you
You will be surprised(You will be surprised)
What I have in mind.
Then He showed me what was
in store for my whole life
He gave me visions and He gave me His eyes
That made me cry
But Satan did not like it
He tried to pry
Then my mind went back to that first night
When He made my faith fly
I said “Thank you Jesus, For all that you’ve done
You saved my life and What I was going to become”
And still I love the words He has to say
When I get down on my knees to pray, I can hear Him say.
“Welcome my child, I have missed you
For all theses years(for all these years)
I was waiting here
“Welcome to my Kingdom, I adore you
You will be surprised(You will be surprised)
What I have in mind. “
My mind is stuck on His name
every day of my life
and I say
That I love how I live each day
to serve the love of my life.
And I know that my Maker
is smiling down on me
When I share His name with the rest of the world
to have others see
Why I love Him so much
Why I live for Him
People think that I’m strange
Cause Im not who Ive been
“Relax” said my savior
“You are in my guiding hands
and your whole life before
you dont have to relive again!
Jesus (Show them love)

The Fire Burns
The fire burns in my soul
A flame that cant cool
It rages though the storm
With knowing that theres more.
The fire burns in my heart
A falme that Jesus put there from the start
It can never be tamed
No matter what I have faced
The fire burns in my spirit
My passion is having people hear it
To hear the voice of Jesus
To know the Savior who saved us.
The fire burns in the body
I move and go so people see
The acts of Jesus I was called to do
Cause Jesus has called me and you
The fire burns in my soul
burns in my heart
burns in my spirit
burns in my body
burns for the Lord.
You Only
You Only
You Only Lord, Hear my cry’s at night
You Only Lord, knows how hard it is for me to fight
You Only Lord, have seen my true pain
You Only Lord, have kept my mind sane.
Lord, you heard me when no one would listen
Lord, you helped me when my eyes had glistened
Lord, My life and soul is now all yours
Lord, with you I have so much more!
I can not deny what happened to me
No one can tell me its not true what I see
But as each day goes by, I see your beauty
Lord, I surrender my life to you fully!
You Only….
You Only…
Lord Jesus..
You Only
You Only can save me from slipping
You Only can catch me from tripping
You Only can see my heart
You Only know how I loved you from the start!
You Only Lord Jesus
Its you I live for
You Only Lord Jesus
Its you I breath for
You Only Lord Jesus,
its you who’s washed my sin
You Only Lord Jesus
Made a way I could win.
