Most everyone understands,
the many cultures of human
violence; even sadder, is
the reluctant acceptance…
of evil. Veils of darkness
will hide the return of One,
as a thief… in the night.
  
Panic will erupt, as hands
are raised in fear; people
will be seeking answers, as
concerns of peace and safety
are gone. Missing Christians
from around this World, will
spark new debates; His Light
  
may scare the hell of those…
left behind; soon others will
realize the implications of a
mass exodus of believers and
the crisis of Faith; they’ll
have to reevaluate their weak
positions regarding God. Can
  
they now overcome sin? Clothes
will be torn in anguish, as the
pressure of Faith increases.
Will some find comfort, knowing
that may be killed for new Faith
or will they remain steadfast…
in their, ongoing lust for Man?

Waiting on Yahweh is
an effective binding
of our soul to His;
will this Life’s quiz

be clarified within…
our identity in Christ?
We’re human beings, not
human doings; begin

to live without worry.
Haste makes waste; can
we expect real change,
if always in a hurry?

Why is there a tangible sense
of fear, when it comes to an
intimate Faith? Does our Lord
and Savior evoke our defenses,

when He wants to pull us, unto
Himself? Our relationship with
Him is contingent on our belief
of His Word; knowing His view,

on the topics that comprise our
World, simplifies the method we
should live for Him. Doesn’t our
uniqueness, represent a flower

from His garden… of Humanity?

Draw closer to God
and He will draw nigh unto thee,
provided you’re willing to…
demonstrate actual honesty.

For He can always see
intentions written upon one’s heart.
Stop playing games and come clean;
otherwise, His Spirit may soon depart.

Jehovah transcends the boundaries of time;
So to Him, there is nothing new under the sun.
Start by freely accepting Salvation’s gift,
which was provided by the Divine One.

One can keep His presence nearby -
For He always inhabits our praise.
Open your mouth and sing of His joy,
during the remainder of your days.

Draw closer to God
and He will draw nigh too.
Know that He dearly covets a…
lasting relationship with you.

Can the words, that I compose
set people afire… for Christ?
Can I believe that His Spirit
flows in me? Only God knows…

the aching hearts of others,
better than I. Now, I’m not
wanting lame excuses, for not
seeing sisters and brothers

of His eternal Kingdom. Yet,
I hope, to spur them onward
for the sole benefit of this
fallen World. My God had set

sacred principles, previously
into motion; and I’ve applied
His Truth to my life and can
now see them… at work in me.

With new evidence, I’ve begun
to see that fatigued hearts of
His people are being moved, as
we all strive to become one…

with Christ, our blessed Lord!

Praising the Lord, on each and every Sabbath,
is a small piece of practicing “the God Habit”.

For one of the best ways for healthy livin’,
is using the brain, that you’ve been given.

Know that thoughts always precede your actions;
idle words leak power and create distractions.

Where the mind goes, the Man always follows;
is it better to walk in the Light or in shadows?

Commune with the Spirit to avoid fleshly lusts;
demonstrate that in Him, you really do trust.

Real success and fellowship is possible in life,
when you are in a sacred relationship with Christ.

Prevent the daily repetition of earthly mistakes;
Don’t be attached to this world - pull up your stakes.

To overcome evil with good choices and decisions,
you must lift up your spiritual eyes and envision…

how you are loved, with regards to His crucifixion!
Embrace this Truth and His supernatural convictions.

With our blessed Lord, one must spend quality time,
to insure the eternal hope of… walking the Godly line.

When floating in the sea of despair,
never give up hope, for the Lord is already there.
For in the time of your darkest hour,
you can tap into His Dunamis power.
Addressing Earth's challenges requires a key -
As a child of His, you must yourself see.
To assure that your earnest prayers are heard,
you need to hide in your heart His Holy Word.
For out of your mouth, His Word you should speak,
which demonstrates that Him you truly seek.
For God's desire is to help you through,
but He is still... waiting on you.

Can the pain of human suffering
prevent me from being made whole?
How should I properly express
the inner dimensions of my soul?

Can the depth of my understanding
reach that of King Solomon’s intellect?
How often must I pray to receive
answers from the Divine architect?

Thankfully, my Lord is merciful,
gracious and patient with me;
for I carefully consume His Word,
wanting these blind eyes to see.

The treasure of Your Word’s worth
for me and my life will never depart.
O my Lord, I desire to do Your will,
for Your principles are… within my heart.

How can I not be full of contentment?
God is not a Man, that He would lie.
On a daily basis, His promises flow;
He is the Source, on Whom I can rely.

Despite the surrounding difficulties,
I’ve purposed to accept His sacred Word;
therefore, I will continue to stand firm,
by His grace and loving messages heard.

His everlasting mercies are renewed;
I remain girded by His faithfulness!
With the thankfulness of my frail heart,
I am still unable to wholly express…

the articulation of proper gratitude.
With empty hands, raised over my head,
I bow my heart in humble reverence,
while the grace of the scarlet thread

reminds me of the thankfulness I need.
Until the day that we are face-to-face,
I await with righteous anticipation
of being held by His eternal embrace.

In my quiet morning moments,
I seek Your Presence today,
wanting time at Your side.

Without You, I can do nothing;
this is a sliver of Your truth
and not a statement of vain pride.

Still hungry for more of You,
is my heart’s humble claim;
don’t let me remain… teary-eyed.

Long ago, I accepted Truth found-
in Your Word, there are answers
for overcoming problems in stride.

Despite simplicity of my ideals,
I seek a fruitful life of success,
with Your sacred principles applied.

During these times of imposed solitude,
I long for the sound of Your voice,
the softness of… the whisper inside.

Where one’s mind goes,
the Man will always follow.
Are you paying attention
to what may be tomorrow?

Faith always agrees with God
and the messages of His Word.
Take random thoughts captive.
Is it Him, that you’ve heard?

Be freed from mental bondages;
improve your thinking today.
Read the Biblical instructions
and get a new life underway.

Meditate on the Scriptures.
Reduce your inner turmoil;
Pray for the presence of God
and be covered with holy oil.

Faith’s power usually comes
in the form of revelation-
from a relationship with Him,
as part of His eternal nation.

Lord, the possessions of Earth
have no permanent grip on my soul;
help me to focus solely on You,
knowing that everything else will fade…
into the background, from my view.

Lord, the knowledge of Your Kingdom
has been slowly seeping into my spirit;
my heart longs for new songs to sing.
Help me to absorb more of Your ways,
while I forget about… these earthly things.

On my path of Christianity,
shall I be a fool exposed…
with these words of poetry?
Or have I been transposed

into the servant that God
witnessed, before my birth?
Even though I remain flawed,
in Christ, I find my worth.

By His Spirit, my confidence
is shown in eloquent verse;
with this divine cognizance,
my contentment is immersed

in my identity with Christ.

There’s no other way, when it comes
to appreciating and loving our God;
we acknowledge the Son’s sacrifice
and we should now willingly succumb

to His Kingdom’s plan. His interests
in Humanity, are well known; Christ
has claimed us for His inheritance;
are we His bride or a faded mistress,

who has given up on having holiness?
Our genuine affection for Him must be
complete and wholeheartedly; nothing
less is worthy of His righteousness!

Though this winter continues,
the December solstice has gone by;
have you begun your preparations,
lifting praises towards Heaven’s sky?

For tomorrow is never promised
and there’s work still to be done.
Future opportunities are awaiting,
blessed by The Father and The Son.

Are you on the narrow way,
following your God-given tasks?
If you’re unsure or hesitant,
don't be afraid to just ask.

Are you going to speak with boldness,
overcoming any semblance of fear?
What are you going to accomplish,
seeing that… it’s another year?!

Now sing unto The Lord, a new song;
offer up your voice on this glad day.
Give heartfelt thanksgiving often,
with the joyful sounds of praise.

Our genuine appreciation of Him,
should be reflective of open hearts!
Cling to His Presence and not flesh;
don’t allow His Spirit to sadly depart.

Take time to quietly commune with our Lord;
recognize His essence permeates the universe,
seeing that He is the ruler of all creation.
By divine inspiration, compose songs and verse.

On this day, honor Christ Jesus’ kingship -
be faithful, know you’re… Called to worship!

How will I be perceived,
after my passing? Will
dissections of my soul
be realized from the…
poetry I leave behind?
Will anyone really care?

Can my experiences… be
defined separately from
Faith’s spiritual Light?
Will I be imagined to be
a fraud, with regard to
the principles of God?

By the time I’m noticed,
by those intentionally
choosing to rightly evaluate
my literary worth, their
opinions are a moot point
to my current existence.

After all, my personal bias
show be evident within my
compositions; perhaps, when
I bowed before my Maker, I’ll
know the real truth of myself.
Before Him, it won’t matter,

since I’m still loved.

Knowing that I’m loved by God,
it’s easier to dismiss fears;
I’m no longer dismayed by the
onslaught of troubles; years

of doubt are behind me, since
it’s clear that I’m upheld… by
the righteous hand of Yahweh.
My trust is in Him and I rely

on His many promises; His Word
watered the spiritual seeds,
that He had planted within me;
and now, this poetic bleed

of Faith is expressed, as I…
share my devotion for Adonai!

With the inherent power of divine words,
I can wield spiritual swords of strength.
Although His presence can reside within me,
I must recognize His plan and truly see…

how I must conduct myself on a daily basis.
Moving forward with Faith in Christ Jesus,
I’m able to conquer all earthly circumstances
and rejoice in victory with my Lord of the Dance.

Overcoming fleshly struggles and fiery trials,
is but one aspect of the frail, human condition.
Utilizing my talents on behalf of the Kingdom’s focus,
I truly can fully recognize and fulfill my purpose.

The desire of God is to draw people unto Himself.
While remaining a yielded, humble and broken vessel,
the sacred essence of Christ in me adequately shines,
to reach hurting individuals… with His Light Divine.

In its blind search of free
love, The World continues to
lust after it, even though
it’s already available to all,
who would grasp it. We see…

that Jehovah has already paid
the heavy price, as His Son
was crucified upon the Tree of
Calvary; the gift of Salvation
awaits acceptance; now laid

to waste, are Humanity’s sins.
Although we’ve been instructed
to choose Life, some prefer a
pathway to Death; a Light shines
and all, are… beckoned within

Heaven’s gates of eternity.

It’s disheartening to see
Churches that churn out a
bunch of souls… who don’t
love people. Many of them
don’t get along with other
congregants; the harmony

of Faith, is difficult to
find at times, when most
Churches tend to be more
concerned about money; if
souls are not having needs
met, then breakthroughs…

are probably not expected.
If so-called Christians are
not living victoriously, is
it realistic, that they’ll
gently nudge others… in His
direction, being unaffected

by The Word of God?

I can depend on Christ to strengthen me!
Acknowledging that He is still in control,
no longer will I remain faint and weary-
since He comforts the depths of my soul.

Miracles always come in cans, not “can’ts”;
though His Presence and power are available,
I must humbly move forward under His guidance,
unashamedly wearing today’s Christian label.

His Spiritual fortitude divinely energizes me;
confidence in knowing that victory is coming,
allows me to perform with integrity and peace,
while expecting blessings that are forthcoming.

Discernment allows me to see impending storms,
which enables me to regularly act with character.
Behaving as more than a conqueror comes when…
I purpose to imbibe only on the heavenly nectar,

spiritual revelations of His sacred Scriptures.
Releasing God’s power is boldly accomplished,
from speaking His principles over my life daily,
once His kingdom in my heart- had been established.

Who are we, to doubt The Word
of our God? Didn’t He measure
out the Earth’s waters, within
the palm of His hand? Didn’t
He assess the eternal vastness
of Heaven? Didn’t He calculate
the amount of dust, set aside
for Mankind? Are we stirred…

by the beauty of our planet?
Didn’t He tell us, that Heaven
is His home or that the Earth
is His footstool? Didn’t He
give us a glimpse of His realm?
Didn’t He weigh the mountains
and offset them with valleys,
hills, and ravines? Do we get

the idea, that we’re to look up?

As God works within my life,
He provides me the desire and
power to do what pleases Him;
when emulating Jesus Christ,

His Light shines outwardly…
from me, naturally. Arm-in-arm
with my Lord, I’m journeying
on my path; others may not see,

like or understand- what I’ve
envisioned for myself; with
His principles applied to my
life, I’m poised to thrive

in doing… what pleases Him!

What can be said, about how we
conduct ourselves? Are we, now
leading by example? Do actions
reveal to others, that we can
educate, cultivate and inspire
people to be… more like Christ?

Based on experience, you’ll see
and perceive that you’re being
watched by those around you. If
you’re really enjoying yourself,
with His Presence, know that the
living dead desire signs of Life

that can… elevate them too.

Though I find myself walking,
through this dark period of life,
I will not fear the enemy about,
for my Lord and His Word speaks
to my inner man, removing doubts

that seek to haunt my spirit.
I’m comforted and content today,
knowing His divine righteousness
consumes my wearied existence;
therefore, I will firmly confess

my adoration of Christ, my King.
He lovingly accompanies my journey,
as I traverse the green pastures
laid before me; He anoints my life
as I divinely seek to grow and mature

under His sacred, Biblical precepts.
His ways and standard are set high,
so that… I’m continually dependent
on Him for all aspects of my life.
To His reign, I’ve given my consent.

The eternal promises, of His supply
to meet my earthly needs, are true.
In Him alone, I have placed my trust!
Going forward, I rejoice from knowing…
that His ways are righteous and just!

With His Love, we can handle
all things; He strengthens us
and we possess a hope in Him.
We can endure, in the power
of His Name! Our Lord, Jesus,

has reminded us to not delight
in evil things; instead, we’re
to persevere in all things. Let
us honor, trust and praise Him!
We’re to be in constant cheer…

since He overcame this World!
Therefore, let’s live as those,
who are mighty and victorious,
in His precious Name! Snares of
our souls are broken; expose

your doubts and repent of them!
Nothing will separate us, from…
His Love and Salvation; become
more than a conqueror! We’re to
press forward for His Kingdom,

until His, mighty return!

Can we, as Christians demonstrate
genuine Love, when our attitudes…
drip with spiritual contempt? How
can we spread The Gospel, when our
behavior is questionable? If souls
encounter poor interactions, with
us, we’ve no fair right to berate

their underdeveloped or lack of…
spiritual understanding. Personal
maturation rates vary, just as life
experiences differ. Witnessing
still requires patience. Isn’t our
real problem the ongoing, inability
to be Christians ‘walking in Love’,

as we’ve been commanded… by Christ?
