"ephesians" poems
As the months' pass,
And years go by,
Let us all show our thanks,
To the One who provides
Let us all bless,
His almighty name
So to His goodness,
Our lips will proclaim
He has blessed us,
With mercy and grace,
With hope and strength,
To stay faithful in this race
He has blessed us,
With His merciful and everlasting love,
With His promises,
That we’ll be with Him above
He has blessed us with redemption,
Through Jesus’ blood, we embrace,
For the forgiveness of sin,
Through the richness of His grace
He has blessed us,
With every spiritual blessing,
In the heavenly places in Christ,
So into Him, we’ll keep on pressing
He has blessed us,
With all we could ever need,
Blessed with His word,
Our hunger it can feed!

Psalm 103:1-2
“Bless the Lord, O my soul;
And all that is within me, bless His holy name!
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
And forget not all His benefits”
Psalm 34:1
“I will bless the Lord at all times;
His praise shall continually be in my mouth”
Ephesians 1:3
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ.”

As we get closer to inauguration day for President selected Donald Trump, I've got a few things I'd like to mention.
I say this in no offense to Trump voters, I say this in no offense to Hillary voters. No matter which political party you voted for; I wrote this for the reason that somebody has to.
On the night of November 9th, while the masses followed their leader. I witnessed a gay vs. gay aggression. Or should I say, Hillary vs. Trump attack. This confused me, considering it's his American right to have voted for Trump. Suddenly it dawned on me. If one man almost got beaten and kick out of a bar for who he felt in his heart to vote for; Oh boy, we're in trouble. The bartender didn't even want to serve him seeing he voted differently.
Sooner than later, I'll be hated for the God I choose to praise to.
Call it ludicrous, but He's been hated on since the beginning of time.
Why would it be any different for us? The one who believe.
**"If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you." John 15:18**
As the division continues to grow louder and stronger in our country this next week. Take heed. This world is dark enough, don't let them take your faith too. Even as love is at the brink of extinction, continue choosing love before hatred. Let's not add to it. If you don't have a clue what that looks like, just keep looking UP.
**For wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." Ephesians 6:12**

1 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us and hath given Himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling savour.
3 But fornication and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints.
4 Neither filthiness nor foolish talking nor jesting, which are not convenient, but rather giving of thanks.
5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
6 Let no man deceive you with vain words; for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord; walk as children of light;
9 For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;
10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord,
11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

I was made for war
My hands are soft, my lungs are weak
I was made for war
I have no discipline, I live to feed my flesh
I was made for war
My mind………my mind………………
It still contains the coal
Hot, burning, aware, remembering that
I was made for war
My leathered soul, dust covered, grey still burns
I feel it whisper, because
I was made for war
Lord, Oh my Lord
Harden my hands
Open my lungs
Discipline my mind and
Teach me to starve my flesh
Because
I was made for war.

You're choking on your troubles, Engulfed by all your panic,
You're making plans that keep failing,
Your thought patterns are manic,
You don't know how to cope,
With life scratching at your heels,
And your sadness has made marks,
Scars that simply don't heal,
You tell them that you're drowning,
And all they can say is "Swim faster!"
But at this time remember,
Your life Guard walks on water,
He's taken care of your worries,
That you laid at his feet,
And He's fought all your battles,
God knows no defeat,
All your troubles and your panic,
He'll wipe the slate clean,
He absorbed all your sin,
Before you even came into being,
He created you human,
And as humans we have flaws,
But God doesn't turn us away,
Infact He opens His doors,
He made us with intentions,
A pathway of greatness,
It comes with its problems,
But with God you can take this,
He's show'n us with Ephesians 6,
The Armor Of God,
Is what we need to stand righteous,
Even though we are flawed,
Now I know what you're thinking,
"My flaws are too great,
For this God to still love me,
I'm only a mistake."
Now the only mistake,
Is what you've just said,
Because its for You that he died,
And then rose from the dead,
Our God has no fine print,
No way he won't accept you,
Because he planned your path ahead,
And in seeing his end, he still died for you!
Now none of us are sinless,
And that's why we were saved!
We were not made perfect,
But we were perfect enough to be made!

Be Anxious for nothing...
I've got to worry about this. This is serious. I must do something!
But in everything by prayer and supplication...
Prayer!?! I am praying!
Supplication?
You mean with a humble and willing heart?
With thanksgiving, let your requests be made know unto God...
Thanksgiving?!? Even as I ask? Why?
*And the peace of God which surpasses all understanding,
Will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.*
Peace?
For He Himself is our peace...
Peace.

God’s heavenly desires and ways
are much higher than our own.
Spiritual maturity is required
to reach towards His holy throne.
Hidden within the Scriptures
is a common, universal theme –
Application of Biblical principles
is needed to achieve our earthly dreams.
Under guidance of the Spirit,
prophets captured God’s intended plan;
laid out to see was Yahweh’s vision –
for the true success of Man.
The written Word of God
can be our scriptural soap;
regular cleansing of the mind
reveals the promise of our hope.
This collection of ‘love letters’
is connected by a ‘scarlet thread’;
Christ’s fulfillment of the Law was sealed
by the redemptive blood that He shed.
Author Notes:
Loosely based on:
Isaiah 55:8-9; Isaiah 11:2; Proverbs 3:1-26; Romans 12:12; Ephesians 4:22-23;
1 Corinthians 1:18-25

The Creator has provided a wondrous plan
for a couple united together
in holy matrimony.
Within the Lord's scriptures,
Paul was inspired to write
in a letter to the Ephesians
"Submit" and "Love".
Not just for the woman,
the man is told as well,
make this a partnership
with your God.
Like the trinity, there are three:
the husband, the wife, and God
as the head.

I was in prison and protected by his loving will
as if in a trance, I visioned I was taking a test.
Studying his words so I can live out a much better life
I now see , I had to live out a predestined quest.
Reading from his book of instructions
I see I was in so many a story
(a)which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption, unto praise of his glory.
Day after day, minute by minute and hour hour by hour
everyday you shown me your forgiving love and I felt your Holy Power.Turning the pages for I can't help but to take a look,
I wash my hands with myrrh and every-time before I pick up your Holy Book.
Cross referencing the scriptures, the New with the Old
it's the source of my power behold, look at the energy I now hold.
Completing the circuit the electricity now begins to flow
It gives me the daily volts I need and through my faith, I now glow.
Never had I cried unto you when I found that my back was up against the wall and I know that is why I get through to you every-time, when I call. You've shown me countless signs and many marvelous wonders all along my path, if I turn my sights and away from you now, I know I can expect to feel your whirlwind wrath.
The Lord had taught me hard, but yet he taught me well and for that, this is the story to my children I will forever tell.

Some say tis a curse to seeith and heareth things
That other's quote sayeth:
( is not there)
Well God happened to giveth me this foresight
To heareth and feeleth and seeith good and bad spirit's around me....
And trust me,
I got plenty of evidence...
So thine own theory ( they don't exist) oh man
Doesn't fly with me.....
I knew this long ago..
As I must say it was a blessing
Being raised in a family who kneweth God already..
As many don't get that opportunity...
Tis a curse as well with this gift,
Of seeing
Feeling
Knowing
Hearing....
Because with the good still lingering coming in and out....
The little brute Hellion's are quite a hassle.....
They scratch
Get one sick
( physcially) so on every which way....
They'll calleth one out by name
Plenty evidence of that recorded down....
But whilst at the same time
These little brutes hateth when I calleth on God for help
(Fallen angels they are)
As the good angels ( gods) hath always swooped in
Wherein the hellion dissapear.....
Yea,
They know not to mess with one of God's....
And the world will sit there
In human thinking....
And ask themselves,
Why didst man **** another man???
Or why didst he pull the trigger to his temple
Or so on....????
I can telleth thou this oh friend....
As the word goes...
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
As mankind.
Seems to hath forgotten...
Or more than that
Wants to run from its dark truth....
For tis I
Who knoweth better...
For I don't run
No needeth to run
For they always find me due to mine bright aura...
And human kind doth not realize
( other than a few)
That the brighter thy soul is
And more energy and more open thou art...
The more they cometh around.....

A rosary a day
keeps my pain and suffering away.
A dash of 1 John 4 to ease the discomfort-
meditations on Galatians or Ephesians for the tired soul
The letters of Peter for when you feel lonely
Colossians when you're lost without a hope
Philippians to ease a confused mind
Gospel of John to put in you in that state of adoration-
Isaiah for that destiny-calling
Job for the sad and broken
Proverbs for light reading, and
Psalms for all purposes!
No matter what the situation,
the structure and truth of Scripture
never fails to amaze me.
You can call me weak for relying on something bigger than me-
(as if my character is faulted for being humble
and not falsely believing I alone can find the answer [that's the biggest asset and the biggest flaw in the human psyche, by the way,])
sorry, honey, there are a lot of things bigger than me,
and my character has only been improved by acknowledging it.
You can call me ignorant but that's only ignorant to you
because within myself (the only place I can ever be),
I find solace in my God and my light-
I hope you're fine as you are,
but if you had a handy book filled with truth
and glory,
a beautiful, eternal story,
and hope when you need it,
wouldn't you read it?

What is free will
If not a loving gift?
You have the right to choose
No one can make you choose life
No one can make you do anything
That is your gift
Even in perfection
What a lovely gift
Knowing we are not puppets
We can choose truth or lies
We can choose right
We can choose love or hate
Choice is the gift we get
Free will instead of robotics
Does God really need to specify every event in advance?
Being infinite in power and matchless in wisdom, Jehovah can meet any emergency or contingency that might result as his creatures exercise their free will. (Isaiah 40:25, 26; Romans 11:33) He can do this instantly and without forethought. Unlike fallible men with their limited abilities, Almighty God does not need a detailed, cut-and-dried plan that sets out beforehand the destiny of every individual on the earth. (Proverbs 19:21) In a number of Bible translations, Ephesians 3:11 speaks of God’s having an “eternal purpose” rather than a fixed plan

Thank you Father God
For placing me where I need to be
Though my paths in life
Through my eyes
I perceive not to be easy
I conveniently put your purpose
In the back of my mind
Then when times hit hard I realize
Knowing your purpose is
What relieves stress
Suddenly, I remember to pray
I become no longer blind
True purpose falls back into line
I feel your Spirit within me
Peace in my soul, home once again
My mind goes where
You need me to be
To the Center
Your Son
Who gave His life
To set sinners free
Thank You, Father & Amen
L♡VE FOREVER

Apparently, I haven’t been living my life
Up to the point where I don’t even know myself anymore
The reason I answer back to my parents is because of you
You are the reason why I smoke
Why swear words always somehow find a way out of my mouth
And why these drugs always end up in my bag
Yes, I’m talking to you
Media
The things you tell me appear like treasure
But not all that glitters are gold
Not all the sheep in the flock are white
Not all the fruits in the basket are sweet
Not everything you say is right
I thought you were great
But it turns out you’re just another liar
You,
You are like a blindfold that covers the truth
Like a deceiver that whispers in my ear
“Hey, it’s alright to steal, alright to **** alright to destroy”
You put me into this abyss
Deeper and deeper I fall
Until the light is no more
But the fault isn’t all yours
I took the first step
I let you lead me down the wrong path
I,
I too was at fault
We all are at fault
But there is still hope
We can still escape this abyss
We can still untie this blindfold
We can still uncover the truth
But how?
How do we climb out?
How do we see again?
How,
How do we go back to the truth?
I tell you now, there is only one way
One. Way.
Through Him
The way,
The truth,
And the life
We must fix our eyes on God, and not on earthly things
For this world is only temporary
So let us build on what will last
And make the most out of our lives
Ephesians 5:15-16 says:
Be very careful, then, how you live
not as unwise but as wise,
Therefore do not be foolish,
But understand what the Lord’s will is
So I warn you here and now
Be careful with what you hear
Be careful with what you see
Because looks can be deceiving and your ears can be mishearing
So, media,
I quit
I am done following your ways
I am done being your slave
Starting today, everything I do
Will glorify Him and only
Him
Apparently, I haven’t been living my life
So I will start living it
And my reason will be You
And only You

Father It's a cloud of Irritability followed by a wrath of hostility.
Help me because I don't want to walk in displeasure
For I know better.
That with you I can do all things and be such a beautiful Priceless treasure.
This thing just won't let me Be.
Father, your word says you make the lame to walk and the blind to see.
You open prison doors and set the captive free.
The Bitterness and brokenness I feel inside are fruits of the poisonous tree.
Oh, it's Devil I see.
Yah says that when two or three
are gather together in his name and We agree
That Satan must flee!
So, Get thee behind me Adversary!
Meanwhile he is trying to get me to be provoked.
I pray and mediate on All biblical words you spoke.
James 1:19
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
Help me to walk upon this path.
Ephesians 4:31
Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice
I gotta keep this in mind if I'm trying to make it into your Kingdom, Your Palace
Ephesians 4:26
Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: Neither give place to the devil.
Remember we wrestle not physical but on a Spiritual level.
John 14:27
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Thank you Father for the serenade. Now Let that Marinade.
Acts 3:19
Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.
Forgive Me Father and within me Please Restore.
Repent and to sin no more.
But looking toward pure, Unconditional love and all that you have In store.
Now that I have confessed
All the anger has left the center of my chest along with the stress.
I Didn't realize I was such a mess.
Thank you Father! Yah bless!

Throughout my life
I have experienced
Awareness of being alone
I have gained mastery
Of this assignment
Now I consider it to
Be a treasured home
For my heart has
Been strengthened
On the innermost level
I understand
My Savior is always
With me, I will never be alone
Upon all oceans, The Heaven,
And every stretch of land
His strength will guide me
To make a stand
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Therefore put on full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.~~ EPHESIANS 6:13

These words spoken by our former U.S. President, Theodore Roosevelt, and for some reason they are not leaving me. I feel led to speak about it... or rather write. ''Speak softly and carry a big stick.''
This is what I believe. In his heart he thought the soft words his mother spoke to him, or perhaps he had been reading his Bible. In either case, he remembered how soft spoken words brought happy tears, much relief, and peace. I believe also he thought of the Bible Verse in Ephesians 6:11. "Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil."
In this, he wanted us to know that we can fight with the Lord in our hearts... but not a physical fight. It is indeed a spiritual fight. When he said ''speak softly and carry a big stick'' he wanted us to know that we can go in as Christians telling the world about the Lord.
The big stick would be our Bible, or perhaps some would say 'our inner strength.'
People (young and old) are more apt to listen if we speak softly instead of hollering or screaming.
Just something to think about. I wanted to share. Hugzzz!!

Our flesh hates the things of God. It would rather serve sin & Satan. Yet folks we must crucify this old human flesh to be in subjection to the spirit. The flesh and the spirit are in conflict together. That's why the Apostle Paul said, "the good that I wish I could do I do that very evil that I hate.": We are at war people and we need are heavenly armor on Ephesians 6 vs 10. Choose to live in the spirit so you will not fulfill the deeds of the flesh. It will get us as Christians in trouble every time if we live by sight and not by faith. That's why memorizing scripture and reading your bible are so essential. The devil hates us but Jesus Christ overcame him and this evil world's system. Believe in the gospel message and be saved today ! God alone is enough.

In this life, there is always dualities,
no simplicities,
nothing ever comes for free,
but we should be grateful for every breeze.
I cry blood tears for what the world has become,
our worries are not here,
but the higher cosmic powers,
Ephesians 6,
I'm a lover of all things,
but I always remember to embrace the shadow.

come find me
in the middle of the night
god read a chapter out of ephesians
clear as day,
and since then i've been
hearing myself
like my heartbeat been
a tiny pulse, pyura chilensis
split apart to see i am actually
here
I've been beatin' this whole time--
and we learn too fast we made of stardust
but that was all ash and seed
before we ever came along
we've got sweet pea and
cardamom in our bones
all the surly wiles of our mothers
a mix of turpentine and
spanish flame
come find me
and i'm whisperin' back
alright, i'm comin'

WOW!!!
IMAGINE BIBLICALLY DONE ART
I went to Genesis hotel through Exodus road. On the way, I saw Leviticus recording the Numbers of people at Deuteronomy, while Joshua was waiting at the Beautiful gate for Judges to see Ruth calling loudly "Samuel ! Samuel ! At a stage, the first and second Kings of Chronicles 1 & 2, were coming to visit Ezra, Nehemiah and Esther for the misfortune of Job their brother. They started singing Psalms and teaching children Proverbs concerning Ecclesiastes and Songs of Solomon. This coincided with the period that Isaiah was engaged in Jeremiah's Lamentations together with Ezekiel and Daniel their friends. By that time, Amos and Obadiah were not around. Three days later, Hosea, Joel and Jonah travelled in the same ship with Micah and Nahum to Jerusalem. Habakkuk then visited Zephaniah
who introduced him to Haggai a friend of Zechariah whose cousin is Malachi.
Immediately after the tradition, Mathew, Mark, Luke and John got involved in Acts of the Romans who were behaving like the 1st Corinthians group because the 2nd Corinthians group were always at loggerheads with the Galatians. At that time too, they realized that the Ephesians and Philippians were close to the Colossians, and a suggestion for the first Thessalonians visit was made, and that on their second Thessalonians visit, they should first of all see the first and second of the Timothy brothers who had gone to the house of Titus to teach Philemon his younger brother how to read and write in Hebrew. On hearing this, James asked Peter twice to explain to him how the three Johns have disclosed to Jude the Revelations of this journey.
