Here you will find the Poetry and Prayers that I write, and access links to the traditional Gospel songs and Hymns of the Christian Faith of which I am a member.
So, if you are in need of a place to rest and be refreshed during your busy day, please come on in for a while. You will be blessed. 1 Corinthians 3:16 - Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? ALL MATERIAL IS FREELY AVAILABLE FOR RE-USE!
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
PRAYER:
Father, have mercy upon our Nation!
For We have chosen to defy
Your Holy Word, Your Words of Love
For Favors from those
Who call You a myth and a lie!
You are Holy, Lord!
You are Faithful - it is true!
Have mercy on your Praying People
For, Lord, we truly love You!
Have Mercy, Lord, on the #StrugglingToBeASaint
Those whose bodies are bringing them nigh to a faint
Grant them the Power of The Holy Spirit
To not let Willful Flesh against
Your Will for their lives compete!
Lord, grant them The Power
To deny that Sinful Lust!
Raise up within each Striving Soul
A Spirit of Revulsion
To deny the Unclean Thing
And a Spirit of Obedience
That will help them to seek always to do Your Will.
I heard of a god - who is like no other god!
I speak of a god - who wants to be my friend!
I feel that this god - is worthy of my knowing
I have met this God and, now, I understand!
This god IS GOD - The I AM!
The Great Creator!
This God IS God!
He IS the Son of Man!
This God IS Love!
He is Faithful, Kind, and Righteous
And He IS God, and in His reflection now I stand!
No angry god, demanding a human blood sacrifice
He offers Grace, and Mercy, and Love, and Provision
He offers Hope even in the face of Failure and Disgrace
I've come to know, and love, this God of All Graces - The Eternal
And I have decided to cast my lot with Him.
I do not fear that He will leave me stranded
For He explained that taking me to His Fair Home is the Final Goal
He has stated well, that being in His Flock is no cake-walk
That I can expect opposition, denial, hatred and jail
Even betrayal, by friend, foe and, yes, even from family
And upon occasion, I can expect to face
Even death and the grave compliments of the Knave!
He further said:
“Look up! Always UP! I am Your Father, and I overcame so Satan can’t treat you Like so much safari game! Satan will oft’ temp, terrorize and even afflict you But stand firm in My Love For I filled in your grave! Blessed be the ties that bind you to Me and My Father To Holy Spirit, to the Kingdom of Truth And Light and Life - to be saved! I gave My All, and whisper ‘Come, all you who labor Come unto to Me all you who e'er would find Rest!’ I AM The King of Life and I AM The Shepherd All in My Flock will always safely graze In pastures green, where gentle streams o’erfloweth Where Angels excelling in strength You excellent guardians be! I sacrificed My Life So your personal griefs and pains have meaning For they are your badges of honor on display Proving that you are My Child That you are gaining Home by the Blood of My Sacrifice Walk on Blessed Child For you don’t ever walk alone on your own!”
So, Friends, you see
I met The God worthy of my person and my worship
I met The God - The God who IS Love
Not the god Titillate
Not the god of Reasoning Self-Pride
Not the god of I Own It
Nor the god of My Self-Interest
And definitely not the god
Who is always presenting himself as a clone!
I am testifying to personal knowledge of The God
That I am offering to you, Friend Dearest
Gentle, Faithful, Kind,
Constant, Pardoning, and Free
No fees
No clubs
No bungling instability
My God IS The Lord TRUE
Not carrying Pride nor specious Vanity!
He offers a Home through Faith
By Prayer and Supplication
He takes requests
And is willing to be the Welcome Guest
Even in your lowly abode!
One day - He affirms - He is coming in a Glorious Train
To take me to His Heavenly Home
Where I will never find myself a part
Of the Satanic Game of Trade Parade Charades!
I’ve accepted His Offer of Salvation
Justification and Sanctification
And have become a part
Of the Family He calls His Bride
He says I’ll wear White, and Gold
And I will be Glorified
And gain winged flight
To highest heights and beauties unknown!
I like This God
Unto love, more and more
With time’s passing
I see no downside
To giving unto Him my final fate
His only warnings are
Be not deceived by counterfeits and
To answer His Call, when it comes
Don’t wait or it may be too late!”
God Called - I Answered!
I Pray - He Answers!
I Cry - He Cares!
I Lie - He Paid!
I, A Slave - He Entered The Grave!
He Ascended to The Father - I Pray for His Return!
Father, I am having a celebration
The invited guests are in the door
But there is one uninvited
And he is being a gully-bore!
I checked my list - no errors!
I did a head-count - 24!
But over there in the corner
Is some extra - acting like they're common at the core!
I invited Kindness and Goodness,
Temperance, Joy, Peace and Love
Happy, Beauty of Spirit and Laughter
Not Stubbornness, nor Grudge!
Appreciation and Candor
Lightness of the Heart
Study to Show Thy Self Approved
Not Turn-Over People's Apple-carts!
Delight Thyself in Jesus
Love Your Enemy
Meek and Lowly in Heart
Definitely not Be Thou Self-Deceived!
Wait on The Lord, Kind Shepherd
Heaven At The Last
Gentleness and Mercy
Not Traction and Body-cast!
Holiness is present!
Righteousness is here, too!
But standing over there - smiling and snoring
Are Sin and Selfishness! Boohoo!
Father, I beg You! Do something!
I really don’t want them here
For they spoil every gathering
With their friends Always Lying and Bring Beer!
Dear Child, Why are you worried? Don’t you know that I am always near! Firm your spine, for you bowed and delivered A faithful and heartfelt prayer! Your true companions will deliver and protect you From those uninvited guests For you are my faithful in body and spirit And I answer at your behest! Gather all your invited Raise a song and sing happily The Angels are surrounding and No one will be bothering thee! I look after My children and I answer all their prayers! Keep Me at the forefront And Sin and Selfishness will be blowing hot air!
Father, Dear Father, I thank You!
You always give me such cheer!
You love me!
I bless You!
I'm grateful!
Lord, I love You!
Amen!
Salvation for sale!!
Come and get your salvation
Salvation for sale!
Salvation on sale!!
Salvation on sale!!
It only cost its Creator
A cross and three nails!!
Salvation for sale?!
Salvation for sale!!
Get yourself your own salvation
Forget the burial detail!
And then ...
I turned the corner
And there whom I should see
But Jesus, The Creator
Saying so softly ...
“Salvation is free! Salvation is free! Get your soul’s salvation I give it to all freely!”
“No money, no price! No lie! No device! Get your free Salvation! Don’t roll The Liar’s Dice!” “Salvation is mine! I paid for your crimes! Get your free salvation No need to mortgage or even buy twice!”
“Free Grace! Undying Love! Untrammeled Mercy! These come not from the Pastor And assuredly not the Pope! I, the Creator I, your True Friend I offer you an inheritance Not vain promises of men Who speak lies for a profit Who profit when you've paid Whose sole motivation Is to acquire money and fame! I offer no early riches! I offer you Earth’s hatred and disdain!”
“And when your battle hard Is victoriously won I offer you My Crown A seat upon My Throne A mansion of your very own A new name plus sweet peace And a walk never alone Living in Glory - Almighty God’s Home!” “Come along and walk with Me! No! Don’t buy salvation today! Son of Man - He alone gives it away!” “Salvation is free today!”
Today?!
“Today!”
“Please pray! Don’t pay! Don't pay! I, alone, can make the Way! Salvation is free to you ... today!”
I sincerely hope that this note finds all of you in good spirits, and doing well.
I am currently doing a write-up on two of the seven church ages, and the verse above became one of my memory verses.
With this verse in mind, I am encouraged to remind us to remember that our Almighty God loves us better than any human parent can.
Jesus Christ gave His best, His life, so that we can have eternal life.
His sacrifice was not happenstance! It was a plannedstance! He created us, and put contingency plans in place for us weak creatures of the sod. He left not one thing to chance!
Jesus loves us, and because He loves us, He rebukes us AND chastises us, not in the manner to make us afraid of Him, but in a manner which clearly says:
"Child of mine, I love you
So hearken to what I say
Walk on the straight and narrow, and
Don't let sin carry you away!
Your heart is willing to obey
But your flesh gets in the way
So when you step off the path of right
I'll call you to straighten up right away!
Please don't be dismayed when I rebuke you
Please don't think I'm casting you away
Please don't murmur about your chastisement
Please accept it, repent, and pray!
I rebuke you, My child, because I love you
I chastise you so you will know that I care
About your soul's salvation, and
Perfecting your character for the Courts Above!
I'm coming soon, so prepare me a welcome
Keep your lamp filled with oil and always prepared
Let your light be shed abroad -- be My Ambassador
Let nothing keep you from welcoming your Lord!
So, My child, keep your eyes focused on Me
Study My Word, My Love Letter to you
Keep My commandments and a song in your heart, child
Go on my errands for, indeed, My coming is very near! **BJC**
