Mitochondrial Disease

Through the Valley by Melanie R.

The blood declares your future-
and can’t be over ruled!
Jesus’ sacrifice paid the way to victory.

If you see the shadow,
light is present.

We go THROUGH the valley…

We’re not in the fire to die;
We’re in the fire to shine!

You are almost there.

Not delayed-
Destined.

Let faith rise again.

Holy nation,
God’s special possession
to set others free!

The blood has spoken,
the cross has sealed it!

This is The hour!

Almighty God,
the ancient of days,
unmatched Majesty,
we come before you,

We know who You are-
You are the God who spoke the stars-
into existence
You hear the whispers
of our weary hearts.

Claim us!
Mark us!
We stand under the shadow of the cross!

Thank you Father!

Let those with ears to hear, hear and God bless you mighty warriors with divine healing over your body, mind, and spirit!

Amen and Amen!

Til’ We Meet Again by Melanie R.

Our hearts come together.
somber reflections,
As we mourn lives lost-
and what used to be,
a remembrance replaying on our heartstrings.

The pain of grief cuts so deep,
And bleeds each tear we cry…
So hard to be here in this moment to have to say goodbye.

For we know even in the depths of this sorrow,
Jesus holds them close,
holds hope for tomorrow.
For death is not the final end-
Not goodbye, til we meet again.

Lord promises restoration,
redemption, all things new.
A life of peace.
Hopeful mercy new.

And death no longer can take away
in the midst of grief;
sorrowful pain.
May we find strength to rise again;
to celebrate their lives again!

Holding onto hope's embrace,
And trust in God's unfailing
grace.

(In honor of Marge and Tom -
We love you!
Til we meet again!)

Fire! By Melanie R.

Forged in the fire for impact.
The test before the throne through the wilderness…into the wonder.
Stay faithful!!
Not to breakdown,…
but breakthrough.
Pass your test!
Take your place in the kingdom.
Holy fire to awaken!
We rise!
We endure!
We over come as pure gold!
Revived for glory!
Broken chains of shame!
Shaking thundering voice,
declaring that this will birth me!!!

The crushing that unlocked the oil-
To burn through the darkness,
and burn through the night.
Consecration-
and burned in our bones,
for His will, and processing light!

Fire!

Power clarity!
Marked by glory!
Reflecting the spirit in praise!
Fire!

1 Peter 1:6-8
In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Chosen Soldier by Melanie R.

I am a chosen soldier
in the army of The Lord
Presence,
Spirit lifted
Sovereign Word,
my trusted sword.

I put on Ephesians armor;
Found ready,
as we stand.
Together He battles with us,
fight for good, and Glory land.

The breastplate of righteousness
adorned across my chest
Protects and helps guide us.
My heart source brightly cleansed.

The helmet of salvation
Covers and Keeps watch.
Shielding darts,
casts down arrows,
diffuses negative thoughts.

Washed robes of White.
Mercy’s priestly gown.
Anointed Oil of Righteousness,
Lamb Sheared without a sound.

Unblemished armor,
Clothed in strength.
Mercy’s knight-
Shield of faith;
provides a fortress to
Reflect His Holy Light!

Covered by King’s glory.
Truth belt buckled in.
Following His Story,
fueled this fire from within.

Yielded body
Willing forge.
Faithful soldier;
Unsheathed sword.

Marching onward
torrential battles…
crushing giants forThe Lord-

Designed to knock down strongholds,
Conquer fear, and destroy doubt.
Anoint us as we travel,
steadfast martyrs for the crown.

To God be the Glory!

The Shepherdess Keeps Watch
By Melanie R.

In darkness deep and shadows cold;
shepherdess stands, brave and bold.
A chosen instrument of the Lord,
strengthened,
guided
by His Holy Word.
Thought of like David, last, but not least.
God’s proven strength.
Power to teach.

A guardian now,
for His flock;
for His kin.
Holy Spirit’s light flowing from within!

Faithful prayer and intercession,
She’s trained for this intention:
To watch and care,..
trust His way
The Lord's own sheep…
His legacy.

Filled with Spirit’s Holy Might.
From dawning day, through darkness;
She helps cover the night-

The shepherdess keeps watch-

No enemy gets by…

Leads us to pastures green,
calm waters clear-
But she’s ready to fight!

He carries us in His loving arms,
Protecting-
keeping His sheep from harm.

Isaiah 40:11
He will feed His flock like a shepherd.
He will gather His lambs with His arms;
And carry them in His bosom.

John 10:11-12
I am The Good Shepherd!
The Good Shepherd lays down
His life for His Sheep.

Holy Mountain by Melanie R.

I looked to the hills
where great mountains stand.
For all of my help
is from God’s righteous hand.
They reach to the heavens as they do declare,
the signs of His wonder-
His glory, and care.

The height of His Majest….

My Rock,
cornerstone.
Atop there with Him,
I feel comfort-

I’m home.

The Rock that was thrown down,
rejected,
then rolled…ooh..ooh…

Now holds me together,
shows mysteries unknown.

Mt. Tabor’s prominence;
Mt. Carmel stood tall-
proving…
there’s One God that reigns over all!!

In His holy mountain,
with Him by my side,
in hearing His word,
growing faith,
I abide.

The gush of the water
that came from the stone,
Rained living water;
restoring me whole!

Thank You Jesus!

Isaiah 48:22
And they did not thirst
when He led them through the deserts.
He caused the water
to flow from the rock for them;
He also split the rock,
and the waters gushed out.

Stay Strong Mighty Warriors,
and God be with you all! 🙏💪🏻🏔️

That you may be able to stand in the day of evil, and having done all you can, stand firm.

You know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.

Crimson by Melanie R.

Crimson red-
against the snow.
My heartache bleeds,
and nearly froze!

I turn to you
and say a prayer,
release me Lord,
from pain
and spare…
my heart from this deep suffering…

the ache,
the hurt…,
my mind
wandering.

Crimson red,
down and blue.
White of snow,
thoughts of you.

Buffalo blizzard…
A frozen cry;
of time felt lost,
and days gone by.

I reach for you;
long to hold you….
Still feel your love around.
It wasn’t just the ordinary,
pure love is what we found.

Although time goes;
will never fade.
Swirls like wind,
still falls like rain.

Our hearts hold onto memories.
Days up,
then down,
like swaying trees.

Crimson red,
Hearts of truth.
Cold of snow,
Thoughts of you.

Red cardinal singing
love’s song of faith.
Holy Water springing,
by pearl o’heaven’s gate
.
A timely whispered love song,
her music sung deep blue.
Sets free-
releases sadness,
as spirit’s called to you.

Consecrated,
Soul guided.
As He too heard our cries,
He knows of all the suffering,
every groaning,
every sigh.

Crimson red
the blood was poured;
robes washed white-
Calvary brought forth!

So shout. Hallelujah!”
and say, AMEN!
to Our Sovereign Lord,
and most earnest friend!

Heart crimson red;
Lord’s Promises True.
He carried The Cross…
and message for you!

John 16:22
Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again. And you will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away.

To all who call on Him in truth.

These are they that have come out of great tribulation, they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the lamb.

Peaked by Melanie R.

I looked to the hills where great mountains stand.
For all of my help is from God’s righteous hand.
They reach to the heavens as they do declare,
the signs of His wonder,
His glory, and care.

The height of His Majest-
My Rock,
cornerstone.
Atop there with Him,
I’m sheltered…
I’m home.

The Rock that was thrown down;
rejected,
then rolled…
now holds me together,
shows mysteries unknown.

Mt. Tabor’s prominence,
Mt. Carmel stood tall,
proving there’s One God
that reigns over all.

In His holy mountain,
with Him by my side,
in hearing His word
growing faith-
I abide.

The gush of the water that came from the stone,
Rained living water;
restoring me whole.

Psalm 121:1-2
I lift my eyes to the hills. From where does my help comes from? My help comes from The Lord who made heaven and earth.

1 Corinthians 10:4
All drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from the spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ.

Stay strong Mighty Warriors!
God bless and be with you all on your health journey!
