The reality of Him.
The restoration of our lives.
A destiny, a future,
An unparalleled adventure.
****
If you will seek Jesus Christ with all your heart,
You will find Him.
He will guide you,
Heal you, deliver you, prosper you.
Trust Him, lean on Him, stay intimate with Him.
Choose Him at every crossroad,
Over your thoughts and emotions,
Choose Him over the people.
This is the essence of detachment,
Garbage for gold.
***
The world is a slippery slope.
The sower sows the seed.
The enemy sets out to devour it.
The faithful hide it in their hearts.
They protect it with all diligence.
If they let down their guard,
The seed is exposed,
The fight of faith begins.
If they default to the flesh, they fail.
If they run to the Lord, they prevail.

It all began with our love for Jesus Christ. As we started moving in His direction, opposition arose and serious decisions were required.
When we made the decision to press on regardless, new challenges and new obstacles presented themselves.
Along the way, we began developing discipline as we practiced the skills He was teaching us on a daily basis. As we continued honing these skills, we became consistent in our daily pursuit of Him.
We began recognizing that every precious thing must be taken and kept by force. Our way of seeing things was changing as we began discerning the relevance of the unseen realm.
We continued seeking Him and the scripture came to life as we followed His directives down Destiny Avenue.
***
When we are seeking Jesus Christ,
Living water flows through our hearts.
The closer we stay to the source, the sweeter it is.
The further we range, the nastier it gets.
When our joy is full, we are near the source.
When it wanes, we know we have wandered.
***
With every step of faith on Destiny Avenue,
The path miraculously extends forth before us.
As we dare to venture out in His grace and power,
It continues to stretch forth as He ushers us along.
Accuracy and precision replace fear and uncertainty.
Our confidence soars as we continue in Him.
***
The beauty of His Holiness
The power in His Name
The joy of knowing Him
The peace in His presence
Praise our Savior forever and ever
Far from the codependent craziness
Far from the soul ties that hamstring humanity
Far from the corruption of this world
***
Destiny Avenue weaves its way
Unfolding before us a journey
Over mountains, through valleys
Along rivers, over bridges
And ultimately to heaven
***
He restored my life
Gave me a destiny
Filled my heart with hope
His joy is unspeakable
His peace never pales
His power sustains
His love penetrates
***
Our beautiful Lord
His tender mercies
His loving kindness
Everlasting love
***
Destiny Avenue goes where it goes.
As we stay on it, our destinies unfold.
