Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. And all that believed were together, and had all things common; and sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
Acts 2:38?-?39?, ?44?-?47 KJV
   


What a time this would have been
In seeing this is how God intended
In this takes the receiving of the Holy Ghost
So,  why if one knew the truth would reject this.
What a beautiful world this would be
But it takes dying to the lust of worldly things
Through the Holy Ghost dwelling within
Myself, was going against God in blindness
In my time I have seen many conform 
To what this world would have them be
Instead of what I see now 
As what God was was molding.
To hear many say I don't fit in.
One, should rejoice if God has revealed this
For we don't want to be conformed to this world
But renewing of the mind and heart
Through the Holy Ghost conforming 
Unto a Child of God
Just trying to bring awareness
Through the love of mankind
 God has placed within,
One might find it hard in church
To see the love of God
But His presence within is where we seek
If one can not see it in another and gets discouraged 
Shine it out for another that is seeking 
God wants to live, walk and talk with us all.
But this world in a whole is rejecting 
The Holy Ghost is not limited to a race
But when entering the race taught of man 
Is vanished with a new love for all
We are far more alike then most see
In Christ, One Accord and Harmony

- Everyone has a right to their place - even if the world is cold and rejecting ... a world out of balance ... some seek the church and God ... others seek care, closeness and human connection - "Oh ... What A Time" ... (!!!) - Lovely poem, Stephan :) - Happy weekend :) - hugs

Hi Stephan, You penned another life-changing and soul-stirring write. Believers make up the church, it's not a building. Church can happen anywhere. God is not confined to a building. With that being said, a revival needs to take place within daily by saying yes to the Lord. Believers must crucify their flesh daily. And repent so their hearts and minds can be renewed. This happens when we just surrender to the holy spirit. Myself included because I fall short as well.

Amazing poetry, full of useful advice and profound thoughts. A warm welcome, though, can weather any storm. Let us throw open the doors of our souls.

Christ shouldn't be confined to churches but we should let him enter our heart and let it be made His dwelling. Even if chrches fall, we needn't fear. Only cement and mortar crumble down. But a welcoming heart can stand all vicissitudes of time. Let us fling open the portals of our heart for Him to enter
