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!
Because God IS Love He shows Me Mercy! Because God IS Merciful He provides Me Grace! Because God's Grace is Sufficient for Me I can accept #God'sFreeOfferOfSalvation! Because Salvation was Purchased for Me with Jesus' Blood I will accept Free Salvation! God's Free Salvation Requires Cleanness But there is No Cleanness in Me So I must "Come Clean" to King Jesus And that means Confession and Repentance of All Sin for Me! I can't go to God except through Jesus! I won't be Saved carrying on, and living, in Known Sin! God is Holy, and I must live Holy But I can't ... in My Own Strength! I need Jesus - who Died on Calvary - To set me Free! Jesus was Lifted up, Died and was Raised Up to Glory! I Died too - I was Baptized! I rose from the Watery Grave To walk in The Renewal that Jesus' Life gives and One day I, too, will be Raised all the way up to Glory Provided I'm Faithful and Live in The Light of ... The Promise Inked on Life Sealed in Deathand Wrapped by Raised from The Grave Held by He Lives Guarded by Certain Hopeand Trumpeted by He Is Near! I love The Lord! I laid my Burden down! I trust The Word's Word! I walk by Jesus' Faith! I lean on The Comforter! I sleep in Peace for Eternal Rest is Secured and I am Assured of God's Provision So the World has no more A Brief holding for Me For Righteousness is Mine, and Jesus Christ, Himself Is carrying Me!
By Beholding, I was ... Changed! Not for the Better - I was Ashamed! I Looked upon Evil! My Eyes Became Dull And not long thereafter Sin entered - I forgot The Shed Blood! First, I started Brooding About What Was Not Mine! My Faith in The Master Went on the Decline! It didn't take long For Longing To Live and Let cried And put me on a Path that would Could cause My Demise! I started to Bend The Rules of The Light! I started walking with The Friends of The Night And that is when Spirit and Flesh started to Fight And then The Fleas of Real Sin on me did Bite! My Skin was covered in Welts - some did leave Scars! My Ears were going Deaf - I almost couldn't hear The Devil's Sports Car Which was Revving and Roaring As it came to My Gate! I didn't hear it Sounding until it had Dropped me off Late On My Day of Decision For Good or For Ill I'd ignored My Jesus I'd Taken Swallowed The Sweet Rough Bitter Pill! I then Drank a Deep Draught of The Waters of Regret And Raked in the Leaves of Would've Could've but Didn't Yet Then And If, But and Annie Came Carrying The Stoat Which carried the Scissors which Cut Through My Coat Covering My Callous Behavior Which Covered My Need And that is when, Broken, I Fell on My Knees And Cried: "Lord, Jesus, Save Me! Please!!?!! I'm Truly Fit to be Tied Up, and Dropped In Your Cleansing Tide!" "I'm Sorry for My Actions! I Believed Satan's Lies Of Great Fun and Frolic Free - No Money to be Paid! But, Lord, it was all Deception for I have a Foot - and Four Toes - on the Banana Peel That is at the Edge of My Grave!" "Great Father, Please Rescue Me! I'm Pleading! Please, Save! Without You, Dear Jesus My Home is Slaving to Be Graved Permanently Parted Departed from You! Lord, Jesus! Please, help Me?! Get Me out of this Stew!"
My Child
How I love YOU!
For YOUR LIFE I died
And how it blesses Me when to Me YOU do cry!
I give YOU Forgiveness!
I wipe clean YOUR Stain!
Cling unto Me -
Don't go in again to The Fast Lane!
YOU cannot fight Satan!
YOU'RE not strong enough!
I offer YOU My Weapons -
Not Powder Puffs and Bluffs!
Truth is The Belt to gird up YOUR loins!
Faith and Love make The Helmet to protect YOUR head from Above!
And Hope is YOUR Breastplate
Assuring Salvation - God's Love!
Love from The Divine
The Creator, The Judge!
However YOU Come to Me - come, I won't reject for
YOU are My Child
I knew YOU before YOU were a Speck
In the love of YOUR parents
Before they were born
But this is YOUR Day!
Confess! Repent!
Be Reborn!
I know of YOUR Needs
I provide for YOU every day
Reject the Things of The Earth
They just bring Decay!
Take My Yolk Easy upon YOU - My Burden is Light
Cast off the Works of Darkness
Shine YOUR Light bright
So that I may be Glorified
When men see YOUR Good Works
Stay close to My Altar
Like The Bride in The Church!
I'll treat YOUR eyes that are blinded!
I'll replace YOUR clothes that are sin-shorn!
I'll place in YOUR pocket
Pure Gold from My Throne!
Dear Child, look at These Hands
Look upon my Scarred Brow
Look upon my Holy Holey Feet
Touch This Rent in My Side!
These badges I earned
To save YOU, My Love!
Come into My Covert!
Give Satan The Shove - Raise High The Dove!
I conquered That Bold Sinner
The Day that I Died
The Day I was Risen
Was The Day Satan Cried
For He knows the Battle is Over
My Victory is Won!
My Kingdom, Great and Glorious is, for YOU, Coming Down!
Walk Holy - I'm Holy!
Walk Right - I'm Light!
Trust Me - I'm TRUTH!
I'm Faithful!
I'm Life!
I'm Savior, Redeemer
The Conquering King!
I've got YOU, My Darling!
So, Cling to Me! Cling!
Walk on in Majesty!
My Kingdom Awaits!
But, REMEMBER
Neither dogs nor whoremongers
Will get in at The Gate!
Keep YOUR Lamp Bright Burning
Filled with The Pure Oil of Grace!
Don't dance with The Devil - keep Marching
Even if YOU March Alone and in Place!
I've provided YOU an Angel Guardian
Who excels in Great Strength
And My Holy Spirit
Will comfort, guide and chide
Time and again!
Take all that I give YOU
Take it, and Peaceful Rest!
Stay with Me Faithful!
You will Enter My Blessed, Eternal Rest!"
I Gave up the World! I Threw off The Chain! I Trust in My Jesus Where Sacrifice IS Great Gain! I have what I Need With an Occasional Want It does not overwhelm me I no longer need want to Flaunt Things to be Paid for Promises to be Broken So that I would Jaunt Up down and sideways Frustrated and Dreading The thoughts That oft' came cascading o'er me When I laid down my head!

I wanted to be Really Rich Until I saw the Decay That was present, and oh, so rampant Amongst those with whom Wild Riches held Sway I wanted to be Really Famous Until I saw the Decay That was present and oh, so rampant Amongst those with whom Notoriety held Sway I really wanted to be Powerful Until I saw the decay That was present, and oh, so rampant Amongst those with whom Earthy Corrupting Power held Sway I wanted to be Seen To be Heard To be Welcomed ... Understood Until I saw what the Herding Mentality Did to those Bathing in its Murky Water of Dragon Blood I came upon a Plain Altar Made of Undressed Stones and Plain Rocks Tended by a Gentle Shepherd Face marred, hands and feet sullied - I stood in shock He looked at me - His smile ... I saw Glory He talked with me - His voice ... Slow Water Flood Raging Checked Welcoming Pure Gold And I heard The Call of The Ages Saying:
"Come To Me!
Let Me Wash You!
I Shed My Living, Eternal,
Saving, Blood for You!"
To say I was shocked ... Understatement! To say I was horrified ... Let me get away from here! To say I was sad, happy, afraid, moved, running away ... I walked to Him! He help out His Arms ... I fitted in The Cleft I knew no alarm! Home. I felt At Home. I felt Comforted. Redeemed. Forgiven. Truly Blessed. Happy. So Joyous. Triumphant. My Jesus ... The Shepherd ... of Eternal Rest! I no longer felt I wanted The World's Goods Its Applause Affirmation Its Stress I needed to be with My Jesus At Home ... with The Eternal ... The King of The Blessed. I gave The Wants the old "Heave Ho!" I gave Pressure To Succeed The Seven G's! Good Gracious! God Is Mine! Go Graze Green Grass! And showed The Wicked World The Front of my Behind! I need to Live with My Jesus I need to Worship My God I need a Gold Crown to Wear in Glory Where I'll spend enjoy Eternity Eternity with My Lord as My Eternal Reward!

I recently read an article - and viewed a video - concerning the Ghost Cities which are prevalent in China as a result of a cycle of Destruction, Construction and Abandonment. The situation struck a note with me because it epitomized what will be the coming onslaught to be faced by the World, and foisted on God's People! The Cities are beautiful BUT lack STAR POWER and STAR STATUS! The way to "sell" the Properties is to LIE and to provide an ALTERNATE REALITY to get buy-in from those potential buyers who are AWED by Brand White American (expensive) and Brand Black American (cheap) with both available to BE REAL FALSE ACTORS and PROFESSIONAL ANYTHING for a price! Chinese buyers as bait just don't cut it so they need the foreign component! Get an American tourist of any stripe, furnish him/her with a script, hold a grand function and let the Buy-in and Buying begin! It works! The Concept of Image as Real is threefold: CHINA: 1. Real - as it stands - is not working as we desire to our projected, anticipated profit = Dead R.O.I. WORLD: 1. What am I getting from serving the Invisible God? = Nothing I can see, feel, touch, taste, hold, display, brag about right this very minute! CHINA: 2. Insert The Image as Scripted and Choreographed Reality with its Appended Accoutrements + Compensated "Real" Actors = Goal of "Success" Accomplished WORLD: 2. Get your "god-of-the-moment" to give you great, immediate, visually appealing, braggable gains and glories and you are "It!" and "Hip!" and "Happening!" - and everybody wants what you have, and to be who you are! Winning Formula! CHINA: 3. End Result: People Purchase Looks Over Substance - no matter the Value ... for the time being ... because, well, it gives the "Appearance" of Good Value to ...! There will be Time For Regrets ... later! WORLD: 3. Bow before the Image of Satan which has the Power to cause all, great and small, free and bond, rich or poor to receive the Mark ( of Approval!! ) of the Beast, the name or the number of the name of the Beast be killed if they won't WORSHIP the Image of the Beast. (Revelation 13:17). (Emphasis mine!) Everybody wants the Crown - nobody wants the Cross! They don't want to do exploits or wait for "Tomorrow Land!" Note that the Mark is to be received in either the Hand (convenience, to be able to work, i.e., go along to get along - nothing believable in this, just give me what I need to "live!") OR the Head (the "seat" of the Soul wherein is belief i.e., you have made a decision for real; this is important to your spiritual well-being)! Christians are NOT to trust in, nor depend upon signs and wonders (appearances) to bolster their Faith in the Living God! Christians are NOT to Trust in emotions to make #DecisionsForJesusChrist. God said:
Signs, and Wonders, and Emotions, are easily counterfeited, and Satan is a past master at generating these smoke and mirrors showings:
The Hook (your Desire) is Baited!
Your Eye is Filled
Your Hand is Full and then ...
The Switch is Performed and ...
You are Left "Holding" a Lead Bag
Filled with Gold-painted Lead Bricks
Flying in a Lead Balloon Full of Holes
Wearing Lead Boots
With a Wholly Holey Parachute
To "Save" Your Life!?!
Christians need to REMEMBER that God said that our bread and water are assured!We need to stand firm and let "the king" keep his meat, sacrificed to idols! We must not defile our selves!! Read Daniel 1. The Word of the Lord is a Strong Tower; the Righteous run to it and are saved! Proverbs 18:10. No MAYBE'S!! DEFINITIVE, STRONG, SURE WORDS OF HOPE! Read the Word! Learn the Word! Live the Word! Ignore the World! Embrace Faith in Jesus Christ for Provision and ... Keep Walking ... FAITHFULLY in FAITH ... toward Zion!
*****
BAIT and SWITCH Why should I bow to an Image? Image is not the Real! Can't you tell the Difference? Image is only On Stage! Reality is a Lie - Everything Pretty Pork Pie In Rainbow Sky! On Image-god You Can't Rely Trust him ... and YOU Will SURELY Forever Die! That Image is not Self-incarnate - It has an Ungodly Energy Source! His desire is not Your Welfare! He is working to get You to lose Your Soul! Food is made for the Belly! Faith is made for the Lord! Stand Firm with the Heavenly Angels! Give all Glory to The Living God! Faith in God will Fill Soul and Belly! Faith in God Brings Blessing and Reward! Filling up on "Something Without Substance" Is like feeding rain water to a cord - no reward! Let me make it plain for You! God will His Glory claim! You may play all you want with the Shadows - Your living will be in vain! Nine is a six upside down! Orientation makes the value plain! Worshiping an Image has No Value #WorshipingAlmightyGodIsGain! Ask God to set His Seal upon You! Ask The Spirit to Comfort and Reign Within Your Soul to Your Salvation Let not Satan make Your Living a sham shame! Worship God! Wear a Crown! Sing Glad Song! Don't TurnAround! Lot's Wife loved Life But not enough to give up her Loot Hence, she choose to look back at what she was losing And instead lost her loot and her life to boot!
How Foolish!
Let us not be foolish, too! Choose Real God for Real Value
Get Over Give Up The Ashes! Take God's True Beauty!
*******
Get God!
Give Up The Crap!
Get Great Gain in Glory! ******* Do Not PERMIT Satan to DestroyYour Faith in God! He Will Constructfor You A Mansion Made of and on Sand! He Will Then AbandonYou to Your Just Fate of Eternal Separation from God! KNOW THE SIGNS!! COUNTERFEIT REALITY IS SATAN'S SPECIALTY!
*******
God - whose Name is Jealous - Is The Jealous God!
Almighty God Will Not Share His Worship nor His Glory
with another "Real" Imaginary God! - Neither Should YOU!
Isaiah 43:9-10 King James Version (KJV)
9 Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and shew us former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, It is truth.
10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.
*******
GOD ALMIGHTY, THE REAL GOD, IS REIGNING! THE REAL GOD IS THE RIGHT GOD!! THE REAL GOD IS RIGHTEOUS! and GOD ALMIGHTY, THE REAL GOD, IS RETURNING TO REAP THE HARVEST OF WHEAT and to GATHER THE GRAPES FOR GRINDING!!
