Poem
You ask, Do I believe in miracles? Have I seen healing outside the Bible? Is the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit accessible – To me and you, beyond the Book of Acts, after Pentecost - Is the age of signs and wonders gone with John the Baptist? I have seen the worst of human hearts and the best (The worst from the so-called best; the best from the pagans and communists) My answer juxtaposes America’s Lincoln-era Civil War with other uncivil wars; Fast forward to India-Pakistan, now Afghanistan, Iraq, Sri Lanka, Syria! Hell of civil & uncivil wars;miracles might have saved these & Libya Yes, I lived a miracle in South Africa myself (Glory to God!) When a whole nation was freed from a taste of holocaust A taste of Nazism pitted against so-called communism South Africa was led by a black “communist” into love, Into agape-love, forgiving love, Truth and Reconciliation Yes, Rolihlahla Mandela (Beloved Madiba) was Christ’s man Not what you & I expected.Leading journalists called him terrorist Yet he rebuilt a democracy on guilt of tycoons & bones of patriots Black, for the most part, but patriots who loved as American patriots love On the ruins of apartheid & segregation, I saw history On the coattails of Mandela; joined him at Union Buildings Dined with ambassadors, helped train other officers When apartheid had said, “You are black ... nothing: We are the Chosen people in this wilderness” Yes, sadly, they quoted the Bible (“knew” Jesus Christ) I lived a miracle, thanks to Christians & others, for apartheid is dead A new South Africa still battles the demons of lust, hate, greed My daughter spoke two languages at age seven (was learning yet another: her teachers showed their true colors) “Special Education, non-academic stream!” they said Faith as an angry volcano said “No, I rebuke such words” Ayanda is my American Sign Language teacher Jesus knew better: college material, not dead-end special education Yes, I have laid hands & spoken life since Pentecost Yes, Beloved, Holy Spirit power - dunamis - is gifted us Jesus said, “Unless I go, the Holy Spirit will not come” Not inferior to Jesus, our Trinity is co-equal, co-eternal I shall not leave you orphans, said He We have The Paracletos, the Helper, "allos paracletos," "Another helper of the same kind” - Hallelujah! Believe this! The same power that resurrected Jesus indwells each believer Walk in the Holy Spirit's power & show Jesus to others! He loves Egypt & U, Gentiles & Jew 4/19/17.Long Live My King Yeshua
