Silhouette by THRICE
Your eyes, followed me here.
Your eyes, seamless and sure.
They leave me broken and, in need of a cure.
Your eyes, followed me here.
Your eyes, sifting my soul.
They leave me broken and forge diamonds from the coal.
They race me along
the infinite synapse of white lines.
and then while chasing the dawn
with storybook syntax
Your eyes slit the throat, of all I know.
About myself and this life.
This silhouette lie.
And your eyes, speaking in tongues.
Vigilant still, filling my lungs.
Testing my will.
They leave me broken and, bruised and bleeding.
Your eyes, resting in flame,
Leave me breathless again
Like hydrogen
Split on faultlines
or ten years living with
exposure to radon
Your eyes slit the throat, of all I know.
About myself and this life.
This silhouette lie.
Your eyes, Your eyes.
Speaking in tongues.
Vigilant still, lead our way.
Filling my lungs.
Testing my will.
You slit the throat, of I know.
About myself and this life.
This silhouette lie.
You slit my throat.
Because I know,
That this life, is a lie.
So slit my throat.
sometimes, i have to admit that God really is too much to handle.
God has revealed more to me in the past couple of weeks than i thought could ever happen.
i have learned more about the Holy Spirit in the past two weeks than i thought i could.
more than i thought i already knew… at least i thought i already knew a lot.
how humbling. 
and sometimes… pretty frightening.
but i honestly should not be afraid, but so very thankful.
that God cares enough for me to reveal more and more of Himself to me.
i have been a christian now for about 11 years,
and the past couple weeks could really sum up the past 7 years of my christian life.
all i know is that the bible is truer to me now that it ever has been.
more alive to me now than i could ever hope for… and for that i am truly grateful.
prophecy is a big part of the bible.
prophecy offers proof of God’s providence.
the way God shows His people that He really does care for them.
that He wants so badly to provide.
if we didn’t have prophecy, we would really have to rethink this thing of faith.
it would be a million times harder i think to live a life as a christian if there was no prophecy.
you have to read the whole bible and understand each and every word of it, as well as live it out perfectly, in order to disprove it… and i haven’t really ever met anyone who has “arrived”.
so, yeah… my point.
for someone to ever say that “that is not for this time” when talking about the bible really heats me up.
and i never quite understood why. i just knew that in my gut it never set well.
and i thank God for that… because i believe it’s blasphemous to even think of such a thing.
God is past, present and future… God is all the time.
now, i do believe that we live by the new testament because the prophecy from the old testament was fulfilled through Jesus Christ the Savior.
i don’t think the old testament law should be taken literally, but that it is still a good measurement for conduct depending on who you are and what situation we are in.
but… to say that “those things weren’t meant for our time” or “that isn’t meant for everyone” especially after Jesus has died for everyone of this time… i dunno, sounds like a buncha baloney!!!
Jesus died for “everyone” “of this time”… hmm… not coincidence.
who are you to tell me that the Holy Spirit isn’t able???
i know who you better be… and that is THE BIG MAN UPSTAIRS.
now, if you wanna read I Corinthians 12 and Acts 2 and tell me that those things died long ago,
that pretty much sounds like you’re telling me the Holy Spirit is dead.
my very own birth is proof that prophecy still exists. God knew me before i was in the womb. (Jeremiah 1:5a)
also, Jesus speaks of this kind of thing in Luke 12:1-11.
the Holy Spirit is only as dead as you let it be.
i pray that every christian wants the fullness of what God wants to be in his/her life.
but the Holy Spirit can only act as much as a person will allow it to.
i am not saying that people who don’t speak prophetic word or speak in tongues don’t have the Holy Spirit and therefore have salvation.
i am saying that there is much more to what the Holy Spirit can do, if you allow it to lead you and FILL you and every aspect of your life.
and that is definitely something to pray for and be so very thankful for.
