It has been said that ‘the Spirit of God moves in mysterious ways’
and that those whom it touches are blessed throughout their days.
It also makes them say and do many wonderful or miraculous things
which then confirms the saying that ‘Heaven on earth down it brings’.

The edge of a blade
I prayed
For second chances
Until it happened to me
Unfortunate circumstances
The score setter,
Conviction letter,
The get good getter;
That hurting someone is
Gonna make me feel better.
This life that I live
Is a warrior’s craft
Hanging by life’s raft
Ninjas and samurais
Gang and clan ties.
You gotta hang me
Stand by me
Wildcard.
You know, it’s hard.
Life’s near impossible
Whether life allows
Or disavows
These are my vows
For better or for worse,
Till death do us part.
Part me, part facade.
Am I a fraud?
I just don’t know.
Back to the future
Hovercraft
Hover board
Overboard.
Sinking and drowning,
19 and counting.
Two sides of the same story
Anger and despair
Hope and peace
Broken pieces.
Broken heart,
Shattered mind.
A life,
Destined for greatness…
Only to fall short
To slip up
And never get picked up.
Feeding memories,
Feeding thoughts,
Dreams killed,
Nightmares born.
Let me ask you a question:
Have you ever looked down…
The barrel of a gun?
To face death
In the midst of life;
Shot down because
I just wasn’t
Good enough.
Not enough good luck.
Lucky number three.
Son, brother, outcast.
Shunned from reality’s past.
Friend, family, fake fronts,
Fighter, thinker, life stunts.
Angels telling me to stay, retreat.
Demons yelling at me to hit replay, repeat.
Me? Staring at a bedroom wall
Calling, pleading with God
To Control-Alt-Delete.
Hara-kiri,
Life’s ******
From what I foresee,
I’ve gotten third degree…
Burns.
We’re told to
Have a fire.
A fire that never
Gets put out.
We’re told to
Reach for the stars,
And never give up.
Told to
Be bold and
To be brave.
Told to
Be the best and
Only the best.
Told that
We only…
Live once.
But here I am,
Telling you to
Live and to last.
You see,
All my life,
I’ve had
Angels and demons
All around me.
This broken world;
It surrounds me.
But His grace;
It astounds me.
His peace covers me
Like the trust between lovers be
His Spirit hovers over me.
To live and to last,
To look to the future,
Embrace the present,
And accept the past.
Despite my darkest days,
God always provides
Now, here I hide;
In His brightest lights.

And the Prophet stood before the people
(in his polo shirt and straight slim jeans)
And spoke, (and laughed, and sang)
and shared some of their Father’s dreams
“Step out and be unspectacular
Leave the weird behind
God selects right royal mess-ups
And then renews their minds
“Think God-thoughts, glimpse your destiny
But be willing to get it wrong
Father rewards the risk takers
Not those wanting perfection
“The Spirit searches all things
Even the deep thoughts of God
And we can grasp what God is saying
Because we have the Spirit of God”

Genesis 4:6-7
Verse 6. Then the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast?”
Sin, our own sin, causes us to produce the fruits of the flesh; anger is one of many and it leads to destruction. God is asking Cain a question to which he already knows the answer to. Our loving and gracious Father desires for us to be free. To do this we must be honest, let go and speak freely to God and open up. Give your passed sin and wickedness to Jesus; He’s far more suitable to carry such a burden. Regret truly can weigh heavily on ones heart. I may not understand the regret of ****** but I can understand hate and the regret that forms out of it. In 1 John 3:15 it says, “Anyone who hates a brother or sister is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him.” So to those who are, God asks, “why are you angry?” “Why is your face downcast?.”
Verse 7. “If you do what is right, will you not be accepted?”
A Holy God must always separate good and evil. When you turn from God and forget the love He has and the sacrifice Jesus made for all of us; God must pull back. But even in that He is there, although you will soon find yourself in the darkest place you've ever known. God is there, waiting with open arms for you to return. “Do what is right.” What is right, what is good and holy in the eyes of our Lord? James 1:27(NIV) says, “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” Where are the broken? Who will go to those who have nothing?
Verse 7. “But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door”
Like Peter, once you take your focus off of Jesus, you begin to sink. Put your full trust in our Savior. Let go, be free, and allow the Spirit of God to lead you, to guid you; only through Him and with Him will you accomplish wonders. Until our Father allows Jesus to return we are to fight the good fight of faith. Be strong, be unyielding; Fierce as a lion and gentle like a lamb. Sin will always wait, at times it seems to be far more patient then Gods people. Give in to sin and it will choke you out. Like a ravenous dog, sin is ready to thrash and rip apart anything in sight. and it’s been doing just that since the fall of Lucifer.
Verse 7. “It desires to have you, but you must rule over it.”
In Gods own mercy he decides to give Cain advise. Yahweh speaks gently to Cain with words of wisdom; warning him of what sin has in store. “It desires to have you.” Sin wants control and complete control over you; “give it a foot and it will take a mile.” Thankfully, we have hope, even more so now since we have the Spirit of God living and dwelling within us, something Cain couldn't fathom at that time. God say’s “you must rule over it.” Rule over our sin? How much more can we, having God living in us and empowering us, do just that; we can rule over our sin.
