Three Days

In day one we shall remember Jonah He tried to run from God The storm and waves fought against their ship Everyone calling out to their Gods and no response Jonah is down in the bottom asleep He already knows why this is happening The captain says Jonah will you pray to your God To calm the storm so we shall not perish Jonah said throw me into the water I am ready to die This is the only way it will bring peace and calm Jonah was thrown over and cried out to God For God found favor in Jonah and led Him to land Even through this Jonah in his will was against God He was still in the wisdom of man fighting Things as simple as a plant that came and went For the plant gave him shelter for a moment then gone by the worm From which He did not plant or cultivate He knew God but still fighting his flesh against God In day two we have Jesus show up This world does not recognize His words But sees His wonders and hears a new tune And takes notice this man is not taught by man All those who dwell in self praise hated it We can not let everyone know they don't need us Jesus showed I am from the I AM Which calms the storm and brings peace Heals the sick and has control of your soul Jesus came and defeated death which has us captive Through seeking Him that He might mold one Burning away all impurities that you might Inherit this new mind , vision and hearing He gave us a way to His kingdom of rest That we might die to death and receive spirit life In day three we will see Pentacost The spirit of Christ came to dwell within For when Christ reigns in one And has found this house acceptable This will show the promise He made to all No longer looking up to the skies For the world will not see Him But they will see Him in you The worries of this life are gone In seeing it's all in God's hands

All glory to God , indeed it's all in His hands , everything has went according to His plan , when we receive understanding of His word it all makes sense of what is going on within us and around us, May God bless, comfort and fill you with His love, peace and joy

Stephan, this is masterfully written. I enjoyed reading through. I think God’s spirit is strong with you. “ For the world will not see Him But they will see Him in you” so inspiring. Always, Laura

All glory to God , God's spirit is strong in you,. I know I write to a few : ) most would see this as just foolish nonsense, but if they have at least heard of Jonah 3 days in fish, Jesus 3 days in tomb, that's a start,. We first have to get past the fight Jonah was in , Which most will remain in adapting to this world instead of a Child of God. Hosea 6 : 2. Is showing 3 days we will go through to be in His presence,. Love ya my friend,

Ps: The three days concept is brilliant and makes a lot of sense! Keep up the amazing work.

Stephan, I appreciate your self undertaken task of telling about God's glory to all the world. Let those who have ears hear! May He come and dwell in each one of us and realize that everything is in God's hands!

- Lovely written, Stephan - I cannot explain or defend God - There is much that is hidden from us regarding his dealings in our world today - hugs
