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

Laura Breidenthal Date: 12/17/2022 3:29:00 AM 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 Login to Reply Stephan McBride Date: 12/17/2022 7:08:00 AM 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, Laura Breidenthal Date: 12/17/2022 3:30:00 AM Ps: The three days concept is brilliant and makes a lot of sense! Keep up the amazing work.
