The Prince of Peace!

Welcome, to the falling away.... Where the living die, and the dead They shall forever rise ~ Along the passages, of pantheons celestial light The predators, and no longer the prey! Standing within "The Kingdom," outside of the palace gates Mingling with fellow soldiers, annointed, by "The Morning Star" Smiling amid rapturous expectations As we prepare, for the final day.... Victory, is already assured, and, within our grasp! Waiting, for "Our Messiah" to arrive The bearer of our every hope, and our every breath Leading us aside these waters, anew These wisdoms, which glisten before our sight.... For He and He alone, is our strength The reason wherein we stand~"We Believe!" As we prepare these bows, that have also been annointed, by "The King of Kings" Arrows, that shall pierce all of this histories Forgotten course.... Angels and life, "Light," side by side ~ For soon we shall all be alike In the twinkling of an eye And, beyond the very last trump Revelations of rejoicings, for ever hereafter Within the land of the promise, amid "Living Waters" That have made us, into whom we are.... No longer prey, but the predators of conquerings, soon to be lore Saddling these Unicorns, their reins, made of silver and gold And stirrups, embellished, with eternities pearls Preparing for this day, the day of all deliverence When arcanums passions of love Are forever revealed, and richly poured Upon the true birth, of the once dawning dreams ~ While outside of these palace gates We anticipate.... Within the revelations of rejoicings, "Sacred Heart" Standing with fellow soldiers, aside Gabriel and the others, Angels Awaiting the arrival, of "Our God" Eyes yet aglow, for here, "His Beauty" now appears ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The "Prince of Peace!"

John, I chose to read this today after going down your list. So difficult to choose one to read.. Bu all I can say is "Awesome!!" (so over used but for lack of a better word) This is incredibly awesome. I pray for you daily and I hope you pray for me, too.?? May you always walk with Him all your days, all your seasons! I pray that when this day arrives, we will -all men- stand in His presence with the holy saints and martyrs..Peace and love to you Audrey

not find a more loving, loyal, friend than Michael Torres. If he has hurt you John in any way please forgive him because I know 100% that he truly loves you and would never ever do anything intentionally to hurt you or anyone else. You have no idea what is going on in Michaels life right now with his past relationship. Trust me he has been betrayed and God says what we have done to the least of them we have done to him. John I beg you to have mercy in your heart to allow Michael to be your

reflected on who Michael is. It was fiction, he wrote it as fiction. He keeps getting a saver error on his computer and he cannot remove the poem. I just want to tell you John from talking to Michael in the past that he has talked about you to me and says you are totally the most christian gifted writer. John I've been a christian for 31 years and have mininistered in many different ways in my church. I know Michael Torres peronally, I am one of his best friends and I can tell you that you will

Michael does not know that Im writing this but was so upset because he wanted to comment on a poem you had written but the system wouldnt let him. Then Michael realised that you had blocked him. Michael is going through a personal turmoil as you know and John, Michael loves you so much. When he realised what you had done he became very emotional and I felt the pain in his heart that this had happened. He said to me that he didnt mean to offend you and in no way shape of form that poem

fiction, because he did live in the city and he did experience the hard life of the city. He has never, ever hurt anyone. THis poem that he wrote was focused on reaching out to a certain excriminal that has hurt him tremendously. After writing the poem Michael relised that it was too strong. He tried to take it off from there but the system would not let him. He was only trying to reach this individual that I wont mention his name that is a poet and all of those people that are criminals.

You dont have any idea of the love and kindess of this man. His background was working in a state prison. He didnt like working in the prison as a career. He decided his purpose in life was to serve God. His brother gave him an idea for a poem Saved by Grace. Michael wrote that it was fiction at the bottom. After thinking about it and rereading the poem a couple of times he felt that the poem might think it was about him. Because he didnt know if people would read the bottom that it was mostly

Dear John Rhinen, I got a phone call from my christian friend Micheael Torres. He was in tears. He was upset because he tried to comment on one of your poems and could not get in. He volunteers for Habitat for Humanity, the Open Door Mission to help the homeless and he reaches out to help anyone and everyone that he can. His goal in life is to be a minister.

wow John this was amazing! I took it upon myself to comment back as you have recently always commented on my work, and I feel I must pay some respect back. This was amazing, and what a day it will be when we are all in heaven and there is no suffering. I loved the title of this too, the prince of peace he is holy. Blessings ~Michaela~

I have true respect now that I know the man and have realize this. The truth is the truth. I have hurt someone John that was just trying to help and If I was in his shoes I probably would have done the same. I said things in my comments that Hurt me inside because I know he is a rightious respectable human being that is loyal to his friends his wife and his loving chidren. I was in a very depressed emotional state and I sinned against a child of God. John God bless you and your loving family and

heart and he is a loving caring man who loves his wife and children. I am so ashamed of saying what I said. He is an example of a man after god's love. He is very caring and helps those in need and I want everyone to know that. I have done things in my past that are just as bad as Michael's maybe even worse. I am i pain because I have wounded a child of God Michael Jordan. I was Mistaken about him and I am man enough to tell him. If someones reaches to you in need you help. Michael J is ahelper

I have to forgive and reach out. It wasn't Michael's fault. He is a man who tried to help someone who reached out to him. Please know that. He is an incredible human being to rise above life's struggles. I now looking back realize this John. When any Christian hurts because of my stupid words I hurt John. I will do what God calls me to do and write a poem of his caringness and growth. I hve forgiven every one involved and I want you to know that Michael Jordan is right with God. He has a big
