The Battle Over My Soul and other selections

Adversity

There is a silent deadly cold ware between good and 
evil raging deep within my soul. The battle is in the
Spirit realm, so I am told.  Thank God His Holy Spirit
grants me the courage to boldly confront the enemy
of my soul!

The Enemy of My Soul

Sometimes, there is a (very) silent deadly cold war be-
tween the forces of good and evil raging deep within
my inner most soul. (But) I can thank God's Holy
Spirit's (presence) for giving me the courage and
the conviction to be both (very) courageous and (also)
bold!

The battle strategy I confidently leave (up) to Him!
(For He is the only Person who can win o'er the
evil darkest forces of sin.) With God's Holy Spirit
inside of my heart, I am confident I will (be 
victorious) and I will win! (For Jesus Christ is
able to win the war raging deep within!)

The Battle Over My Soul *
(conclusion)

Oh, how I can honestly feel, the Battle o're  my
immortal soul deadly and real. The raging war
between goodness and evil. Forces of deadliest
darkness; Godly forces of goodness and light.
Thank God for the Holy Spirit in my life; Jesus
Christ's free gift of eternal life.

Blessed Are The Peacemakers #1

According to the gospel of Saint Mathew 5:5, 
Blessed are the peacemakers for they will be
called children of God.  And the poem "Where
there is" claims,"When there is talk of dis-
agreement, let us peacefully settle our diff-
erences." When there is talk of war, let us
pray and preach peace.  The short essay
"Guardians of the Gospel," concludes,"
Wherever and whatever our calling maybe,
we are to faithfully serve Him as guardians
of His holy gospel.

Therefore, is our responsibility as Christians.
to be peacemakers.  It is a fundamental 
guidepost for successful Christian service.

Blessed Are The Peacemakers #2

text: "Blessed are the peacemakers:for they
shall be called the children of God." Matt
5:9 KJV

The essay, "In His Service," also uses the word
"peacemakers" to describe one the many
admirable Christian attributes Christ gave His
faithful, beloved servants. Therefore it is our basic
responsibility as Christians, to be peacemakers.
The essay concludes,"Our Heavenly Father is
glorified by our good deeds providing we do them
cheerfully."  Being a peacemaker is definitely a
good deed!

According to David Hubbard, we are to avoid "The
temptation to Quit." He uses the phrase, "let us keep
our eyes fixed on Jesus," as the Key. David concludes,"
We look away from everything else to  Him, if we want
to run well,' also remarks about serving Christ faithfully
as well.

The essay, "Guardians of the Gospel" also remarks about
serving Christ faithfully as well. Being a peacemaker means
sacrificing being, "a prisoner of our own selfish whims."
(By totally surrendering our entire lives freely to Him.)

Let us Fight the Good Fight
And Let us Win the Good Race

Oh, as Guardians of the good
News Gospel Message of
Jesus Christ, Let us Fight the
Good Fight and Win the Good
Race!

Allowing the Holy Spirit's Rescue
Mission to redeem lost souls being
Held captive by Satanic enemies of
The Human Race. Binding and keeping

Captive lost human souls in this life,
Tormenting them in their after lives.
The Enemies of our souls is engaged
In active definitive warfare!

But the enemy is powerless to defeat
The Victorious Winner of our eternal
Lives; He paid the Ultimate Penalty 
And made His uttermost Sacrifice!

Yes, Jesus Christ is Victorious o'er
Death, Hell and the Grave our sinful
Redemptive's Price He paid on the
Cross of Calvary and set us free!

All of my love in Christ Jesus!
