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!
I am presenting a full showing of The Seventh Day Documentary as narrated by the actor Hal Holbrook.
The Seventh Day Documentary is a beautiful production, often times difficult to watch, but well worth the effort.
The production is in eleven (11) parts for approximately 5 1/2 hours of viewing. And ... its NOT about Seventh-day Adventists or the Jews! It is about our faithful and bible-believing fore-parents and what they endured to keep the Sabbath Day of the 4th Commandment holy.
Please, please, please do not neglect your prayer life no matter what is going on in your personal or professional life!
Even if you don’t know what to say, calling upon the name of Jesus Christ will work wonders for whatever is ailing you! The Holy Spirit intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words (Romans 8:26) and, in the name of Jesus Christ, our requests are presented to God!
DON’T FORGET THAT:
1. We pray to the Father, in the name of the Son, under the agency of the Holy Spirit.
2. Prayer is the key in the hand of faith to unlock Heaven’s Storehouse!
3. Faith is the hand by which the soul takes hold upon Divine offers of Grace and Mercy!
4. We should pray the Promises of God!
5. “Yes!”, “No!”, “Wait!”, and “My Grace Is Sufficient For You!” are all God’s answers to our several prayers!
6. If we received everything for which we pray, we would be viewing our lives from inside the toilet, or worse!
WARNING:
1. God does not answer our prayers if we are holding on to known sin! Your prayer, in this view, is an abomination to God! So... confess your sin and THEN present your petitions!
2. Your Requests and God’s Calendar are not in alignment! It is all in God’s Delivery Time (GDT)! and
3. Never doubt Jesus’ Love for it dishonors God!
When you sing the message
Are you really singing to God
Or are you putting on a performance
For someone who isn’t the Lord?
Are you praising, or performing
Are you putting on a show
Which does not praise Your Creator
Because it praises the world?
Think once, think twice, I beseech
Know to whom you’re giving your praise
Make sure it’s to Your Creator
The Ancient One of Days!
Don’t fall into the trap that
Satan has placed for the world
By saying that whatever/however you’re singing
All music to the King is all praise!
Old Satan, the Old Minister of Music
Is alive, and kicking, and well
Able to blind you with his tricks
To perform music that give him his kicks!
He writes the songs that make this world sing
He lays the beats that makes Saints retreat
From lewdness, lechery and looseness
From rhythms that sends sinners to use bongs.
This same music is stomping into the Church of
God, the Father, the Spirit, the Son
Hijacking the old Saints from the praises
To honor Him, the Worthy, the Lamb!
Our God is the God of All Order
His Angels sing praise in majesty
Swelling and ringing, triumphant
Praising the God who loves humanity.
So, again, I ask you: “Who are YOU praising
When you sing the gospel message today?
Is it the God of All Creation OR
The god who leads children astray?"
Dear Ones:
When we, as singers and musicians, allow ourselves to become the focus, and center, of attention by our "performance," as we “praise” God in song, we are praising our selves, for we have allowed ourselves to accept the praise and worship that belongs solely to the God of Heaven.
Let us, therefore, be very, very careful ... that we do not find ourselves in the position in which King Herod found himself for accepting the worship, and adulation, that rightfully belonged to Almighty God.
Acts 12:21-23 21 On the appointed day Herod, wearing his royal robes, sat on his throne and delivered a public address to the people.
22 They shouted, “This is the voice of a god, not of a man.”
23Immediately, because Herod did not give praise to God, an angel of the Lord struck him down, and he was eaten by worms and died.
Satan has made it painfully clear that his sworn task is to deflect worship from the God of Heaven by any means necessary, and available.
Even if our “worship” does not name Satan himself, he seeks to ensure that if he can't get it, that God, Himself, does not receive same by encouraging us to believe that we, too, are gods, hence the designations we hear of godfather and empress and myriad divas (goddesses) of music, which appalling, even revolting, appellations are finding themselves in our houses of worship!
Lord, have mercy on us, and help us to see You as You are, and worship You - forgetting self - for You, alone, are worthy!
Lies have been told
And I believed many
That our God was cold
And didn't give a half-penny
For our sordid lives
Filled with wars and with strife
Nor children dying before they’d seen life!
'Twas often I heard
What kind of God he
Who let daddies die
Before ever seeing baby
Or Mommy so sad
At being left behind
Turning on the ignition
And waiting for to die?
Oh, Father, there was a time when
I, too, wondered how
You could see such sorrow
And not correct it and disavow
Your hand in the occurrence
Your assent to despair
Your ignoring the hurting
The hearts filled with cares?
But one day with gladness
I finally saw the truth
Of how that Old Satan
Was stirring the stew
Of half-truth, dissembling,
Out-right lies and fabricates
Fooling man into believing
That You were cut-bait!
I read in the Bible
The Truth of the matter
That Satan, The Liar
The Trier, The Fire
Will do anything
To destroy what Jesus’ blood
Had covered in the cleansing flood!
Take Job for example
A righteous man, he
Who gave of his blessings
To secure so many!
Yet, Satan, in distaste
For this Man’s clear soul
Sought permission from Our Lord
To cause Job to leave hold
Of the Sanctuary of Safety
Because God’s hedgerow had holes!
But, Job, a true believer
Faithful, e'en kind he, and true
To the High Calling that is ours
Through eyes that were faithful
Never uttered those dread words of denial!
He lifted clear eyes to heaven
His voice he loudly raised
And uttered undeniable
And glorious praise!
Which words now for eons
Have caused Saints to hold on to
The Savior, for hope in the Beyond: "I know my Redeemer liveth I know He shall stand The latter day is coming Upon earth He will stand Though worms may eat me I know I will see My God, the Eternal In this flesh, yes, I'll see!"
So don’t be discouraged
When sorrow and strife come
When sadness and suffering
When your life’s in the can
The God of the Mountain
The Lord of the Light
Has victories most precious
For those who endure the fight!
Let not the Evil One sway you
Don’t utter foul words
Of denial of the Master
Don’t give Satan the last word!
We have won the victory
Our bodies they may burn
But our souls belong to our God
For in this Word we learn:
"That GOD so loved the world That He with gladness gave His Son, only begotten That we might be saved."
The trials may be fiery
The darts may be fierce
Our hearts they may pierce through
But our souls they can’t stave!
Lift high, then, His banner
Sing loud the victor’s song
Jesus, the Savior
Will soon be coming down
To claim - for Himself - the faithful
The steadfast, the true
Those who for the Promise
Black doings went through!
He comes with all dispatch
The sky breaking through
The Angels are the escort
He is coming for me and you
Who held on for Christ’s life
A crown of glory to share
With all the blessed throng
To whom white robes do belong!
Bless the Lord, Oh, my soul! And all that is within me, bless His Holy Name!
Father, we come before You on another Sabbath Day and thank You for this opportunity to stand before You in quietness, and in peace, and safety.
We thank You, Lord, for the Blessed Assurance that makes us able to stand before You redeemed, justified, and sanctified, all because of Jesus.
Thank You, Lord, for the myriad blessings You have bestowed upon us during the hours of the week now past, and for numerous blessings You will bestow upon us before this Sabbath is over.
Father, we thank You for the gift of Calvary. We thank You for the roofs You caused to be placed over our heads, the food You bountifully placed upon our tables, for good health, for supple strength, for loving friends, and devoted family, and we especially prayer for straights paths for our children,
Have mercy, Lord, on the leaders of our various nations and assemblies, and we ask You to open their eyes so that they may see that You, the Most High God, rules over the affairs of men, and that Your Will is sovereign. Help them, Lord, to return to the old way-marks whereby there is safety.
Father, we pray for Your children around the planet who are facing stiff opposition for their faith in the Lord, Christ, for their standing for truth, for right-living, and for love of the Edenic family. Oh, Lord, have mercy on us.
We pray, Father, for the presence of the Holy Angels to surround and guard, and guide each and every member of the Family of God, and we pray for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in double portion, and for the direction that only the Spirit of God can provide so that we may speak powerfully of the Gospel of Christ to this dying world.
Father, we beseech You to help us to sit still and listen... to the Quiet Voice, and grant us spiritual ears to hear, and the will to obey, and to place our all on the Altar of Sacrifice. Help us to let go of our reigns to the Holy Spirit, and let Him take control of our will, our ways, our days and our years.
We ask You to help us to STOP, as ordained of the Sabbath, and to rest, and find refreshing from the hustle and bustle that marked each weary day of the work-week. Please quiet our minds, our thoughts, and our actions so that we may indeed be filled from the Storehouse of Heaven, and be blessed.
We ask You, Lord, to help us to live as the peacemakers, the hungry and the thirsty after righteousness, the meek, the merciful, the mournful, the pure in heart, the poor in spirit, the persecuted for righteousness sake, the salt of the earth, and as light in and to this dark world, so that we may obtain the blessings of Christ. Help us to rejoice, and to be exceedingly glad for the great reward that awaits us ...in Heaven.
Grant us Your Grace, Lord, to stand firm, to the end of our days, so that we may be counted worthy to be citizens of the Kingdom, and to receive our robes, and our crowns.
Father, please bury Heaven deep within each of our souls until the Day breaks when we shall see King Jesus.
We love You, Lord, and we thank You for hearing and answering the prayers of Your believing children. AMEN.
Because of sin these old bones are a-creaking
Because of sin these eyes just don’t quite see fine
Because of sin I covet, I steal, and cheat the tax collector
And pretend to all that my life here is sublime!
I need a God - the one that can hear me
I need a God that can answer my prayers
I need a God who is always at the ready
The God in whose hands I have been stained!
I’m not into divas for they are just idols
The only goddess I recognize is potty porcelain
The only God I believe in is the Almighty
For everything else is just plainly profane!
I am sick and tired of being sick, and being tired
I am sick and tired of sin’s humongous cost to me
I am sick and tired of this old world and where it’s headed
And can’t wait for Jesus to come and rescue me!
All around me nothing is what it appears to be
All around me is death, dying and decay
All around me there seems to be no hope for
Mouth giants without substance are holding sway!
Oh Lord, You know that this heart is feeble
Oh Lord, You know that my courage is ready to fail
Oh Lord, help me to stand up on Your Word, and
Give me Your strength to help me to hold strain!
Father, I bless You and, yes, I do reverence You!
Father, I bless You for Jesus taking the blame
For, Father, without Him, without His sacrifice, His dying
I would live my life as though sinning is something really game!
But ... because Jesus Christ took on the form of a servant
But ... because Jesus Christ took off His divinity
Because His heart hurt so badly for humanity
Because He suffered, bled, died and resurrected to Glory
Father, I can come freely unto to thee!
Thank God for Jesus!
Father, please keep us faithful, and ever in an attitude of readiness, for The Day is hastening toward us! Amen.
Sarah
and Clita were little girls who lived a simple life, in a simple
village, in a simple house, and were reared by simple parents.
Yup.
Their lives were simple, but oh so amazing, because of the log that
their parents insisted upon them learning about, and making it an
integral part of their lives.
At
first, learning about the log seemed so silly!
“Why
do we need to learn about the log?” asked Clita.
“We
see logs fallen around the house, and in the woods, all the time!”
whined Sarah.
“Now,
children. Listen carefully!” said Papa.
“This
log is not just any old tree, or any piece of old wood! This log is
the Lamb of God!”
“The
Lamb of God?!” exclaimed Sarah and Clita in stereo.
“Yes!”
crowed Papa. “The
log IS the LAMB OF GOD!”
“You
see, a long time ago, before the fall of the human race, Almighty
God, The Word, and The Spirit, agreed that Jesus, the Son of the Father, the Lamb without Blemish, the Pet, if you will, would pay the ultimate price for sin after man
disobeyed the Almighty and sinned.”
“Jesus
was His Father's pet, and His was the blameless life to be sacrificed
as a lamb without spot, or blemish, to die, once, for all, so that we
might be redeemed from death!”
“Jesus, also the Author of Life and the Bread of Life, took sin unto Himself, which sin lead unto death, to
give sinful man, like us, new life by His personal sacrifice!”
“The
Pet Lamb, The Favorite, The Blessed Hope, The Hope of Glory, The Way, The Truth, The Life, The Deliverer, Our Friend, gave
his righteous life for our sinful one!”
“The
Best of Heaven took the worst of earth so that men may be
renewed and reformed -in order to conform to The Consolation - so that
our filthy rags may be restored to the newness of life!
“The
LOG. leads to Light, and gives Life!”
“Always
remember the LOG for He IS ... the Lamb of God!”
Sarah
and Clita cheered, and were forever blessed for having learned of The Lamb of God!
They want to know what good for them God has ever
done
And proudly walk away seeking more mischief to run!
Against people they believe defenseless!
And when they've filled their cups to overflowing
Almighty God checks their balances to see their
owings
And when they see the price to be paid
They think that He has some great mistake made!
God doesn't use accountants! God has Recording Angels!
O fickle fate! A fateful fit
Is what they have, when they receive the initial hit
But proudest sinners that they be
See no reason to bow down to the King, whoever he!?
The King of Love!
So, then, for their pride, their intentional arrogance
The humbling hand of God upon them is felt
Until they acknowledge that God Almighty o'er all
rules
The choice is theirs – bow, bend or break – they get to choose!
You love God - Bow before Him!
You know you are a sinner - Bend to His Will!
You are your own god ... Break ... Good night.
Dear Ones:
Let us be careful how we walk about this earth. All of our decisions have consequences - not just for now, but as it pertains to New Earth. So, I beg you, please answer the Savior when He calls you, while His hand of chastening is light, and while you've got an opportunity your life to renew! We are assuredly running out of "play" time!
Luke 21:34-36Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. 35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
