Jerusalem

The city of  Jerusalem 
How great  for this is where our 
Divine mother had become known
When the spirit being came to life
That we might become a child of God
The apostles began to do the work of Jesus
For this spirit of God was now dwelling within
To tell of His love and spread the spirit
They had many people begin to come to them
This brought fury to the high priest 
And the religious and law leaders
They told them to leave or be put in jail
But these same disciples that walked
With Jesus and witnessed all His signs and wonders
Which all scattered when Jesus was being sacrificed
Had now come to know don't worry about man
But God which has power over death and life
They were walking and talking in the spirit 
It was in this moment we can see John 12-24 in 
Except a corn of wheat fall  into the ground and die,
It abideth alone,but if it die it bringeth forth much fruit,.   These pharisees who claim they were wise and knew the scriptures never knew the meaning for Jesus was telling them what He was going to do and God had blinded there eyes so they didn't have a clue.
For they wanted self praise of man to sit in there appointed chairs and wear fancy clothes . The tomb they placed Jesus in didn't hold Him. So now there jealousy of the apostles was to surround them in Jerusalem and place them in jail,
but the jail could not hold them.
In there attempt to keep the spirit of God from moving but God had already spread it to the Jews and Gentiles and all who call upon Jesus . This must have driven them mad for they killed one and now they have multiple walking and talking as Him, God wants to dwell within each of us don't let the wisdom of man religion keep you from it are wait on man to save you. Seek and you shall find the hidden treasures of this life, but you will be surrounded as they were to try and steal your joy and spirit but they shall also see if it is of God its not you they are fighting but God. And none shall snatch one out of the hand of God.
Love you all

Never look at men for guidance, but look up to Jesus, the one who has power over death and life. People may despise you for following Jesus, but know that you are walking to eternal bliss! Beautiful poem dear Stephan. It was at Jerusalem that the Holy spirit descended on Mother Mary and the disciples. Then on they got the strength to spread His word.
