Best Heavenly Kingdom Poems
"A Near-Death Experience of A Sweetheart"
Floating through a corridor between two different Worlds
among white fluffy clouds and shimmering stars awhile wind unfurls
racing into darkness: destination to death's door
living in a heavenly kingdom ... forevermore ...
Traveling through deep tunnel as cold fingers touch
walls of blackened essence creating thoughts to clutch
quickly toward a bright white light of peace
my soul and spirit being experienced soft release ...
Rushing to a Paradise, landing on streets of gold
seeing the Face of God so clearly to behold
longing to embrace my dear departed family
loved ones who had gone before to their final destiny ...
Their captivating smiles excited my soul
sharing love once more as was in their earthly roll
but a huge white Angel stood between my track
he spoke mentally "child of God you must go back.
And yet, I was not sad but happy to have seen
my precious treasured relatives cuddled by Supreme Being
why? I questioned must I return to Planet Earth?
Angel responed not your time to stay
your purpose unfulfilled for God to cherish every day ...
Suddenly transported through the tunnel smelling flowers
a jorney taking minutes but feeling like hours
and soon the sights and sounds ignited quiet hospital room
while my loved ones endured possibility of doom ...
My husband was squeezing my hand so tight I felt his love
as my children sobbed so loud praying to above
my eyes opened wide as I inhaled a breath
escaping to my body while I avoided Death ...
This near-death experience was an inspiration
for another realm exists in utter fascination
for now the message lives to enjoy both love and life
have no fear for death is harmless and erases strife ...
Hover close to God and always give Him thankxxx
through trials and tribulations He relieves all angst
Treasure every moment and anticipate the end
a beutiful place is waiting reuniting family and friends ...
Kisses and hugs replaced those solitary tears
knowing what lies ahead extinguishes all fears
please celebrate the gift of life in grateful attitude
Eternity is awesome with unending interlude ...
My backslidden soul*, you were converted by GOD’s Word
As shown by your divine growth and testimony ’s record,
But you departed away from that great spiritual cord
Broken by worldly financial and material sword.
Turn to God Who rescues by His grace He can afford!
My prodigal soul, you were so blessed greatly
As the Lord provided for you tremendously,
But you neglected sound principles biblically
That caused your moral downfall fatally.
Turn to God Who can restore you fully!
My wayward soul, you were known to be Christ-honoring
As evidenced by your heavenly walk and divine bearing,
But you embraced humanistic doctrines so devouring,
Making you proud, yet continuing in miserable erring.
Turn to God Who can transform you be God-fearing!
My discouraged soul, you were before an example of zealousness
As seen in your conviction for godly standards and uprightness,
But you despised God’s presence and defied His holiness
While taking for granted prayer and Bible’s effectiveness.
Turn to God Who can bring you to His righteousness!
My unfaithful soul, you were then fulfilling the Great Commission
As proven by your mission-minded pursuits, filled with compassion,
But you failed to stay in the ancient landmarks of faith’s action
By compromising with secularism and liberalism’s motion.
Turn to God Who can plant you on His firm foundation!
My wavering soul, you were a guide to them who found real freedom
As told by those who owe to Christ thru you what they’ve become,
But you forgot the real source of genuine authority and wisdom
When you abandoned the only Way to heavenly kingdom. Turn to God Who invites that to Him you humbly come!
My dear soul, you surely need God with His forgiveness and guidance
As He alone can surely lift you up from your critical imbalance,
Beg on Him to uphold you on His church’s scriptural stance
And to behold you with His loving care by His divine glance.
Turn to God Who can pull you for revival’s sustenance!
*Psalm 6:4 Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies' sake.

Lord's prayer Matt6:9,10
Jesus taught us to pray, what to say to God, His Father, Our Father.
Oft repeated rarely understood words that put
His Fathers name first, to be sanctified made holy.
Isaiah43:10 he declares that he has his witnesses
that declare his wonderful name Jehovah, through all the earth.
"Let your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven".
What a wonderful hope that by means of God's kingdom, a real government,
(see Daniel2:44) that the earth can be a paradise, again, with conditions, like heaven, when Jesus begins his 1000 year rule over the earth Revelation20:6.
Understanding the two hopes or destinies of the faithful has help me to understand so much more, of how life will be when paradise on earth is restored, and we can witness the resurrection of our dear loved ones back to life on earth.
Even Jesus described the two destinies Matt5:3 Spiritual persons will inherit the
heavenly kingdom, Matt5:5 meek shall inherit the earth mirroring Psalm37:29
What a blessing understanding what has been misunderstood and repeated for almost two thousand years.
Jesus did say the "truth will set you free"John8:32.Knowing and understanding
God's love, as revealed in his Word I do feel free, free from desperation, free from ignorance, free from falsehood, free from the Devils lies.
I look forward to the time when the Kingdom will come and God's will, will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Light and Darkness
Have you ever paused to ponder
Why the creator in his wisdom
Made death the only doorway
Leading to the Heavenly Kingdom?
Have you ever paused to ponder
Why the creator by his order
Separated the endless darkness
To give the world twelve hours of light
And twelve hours of dreadful night?
Don't you know He could make it all light?
You could ask: do we really need the night?
As we continued seeking answers
To these and other questions like them
Let's concede to the concession
That neither of light nor darkness
Can exist exclusively anytime, anywhere
So, light your kindle for light
And protect it against the forces of night.
What prayers does God answer? For what should we pray?
God's Son clearly taught us to pray in this way:
Not for riches, not for glory, not for selfish gain,
But for God’s Heavenly Kingdom and to honor His Name.
God says He will help us and give us the strength,
To endure life’s hardships and remain in the faith.
The joy that we feel when God's hand we can see,
Is the most wonderful feeling that fills us with glee.
Yes, prayer is a privilege we surely should cherish,
To stay close to Him who wants not that we perish.
(Matthew chapter 6)
(Revised poem)
And the lord shall deliver me from every evil work, preserving me
into his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
And a divine wind blew through each one, igniting the light of day
within them; drowning out the face of darkness like a spark in sun-dry hay.
And the spirit of the Lord lit the whole of each man awake. Winds of truth
scattering the fevered shades of devils, gone, striking the whole of them
with eternal love.
And there was peace amongst them then and ever after, at the table of the host,
within the everlasting house of God. And it was so, from then on: that they,
whosoever let the spirit of the Lord and Jesus Christ our savior into their homes,
shall have eternal sun for all their days, lighting their every sky with joy.
*For Brian's Pentecost Contest. :) The first lines are from: timothy 2; 4, 18
The Flying Sea Serpents are only but Two...
Guardian Dragons of Heavens Gate so true!
Sea Dragons that guard A Warriors' Sword.
Where Heroes reside with-in The Lord.
The Crystal Key to Destiny's Gate.
Unlocked for Heroes that reside among The Great!
The Guardian Dragons are Two by night...
The Keeper of Day into Heavens Sight.
One,a wiser Female of Extraterrestrial Force.
The Other,a strong Male to protect Her Course.
Together,By Flight,They guard Eternity by dual.
Always to protect A Heavenly Kingdom that Rules.
The Souls in passing know They are really There.
Angels find Heaven Guardian Dragons are near.
For God has a crest for Soldiers of Fortune.
Beyond The Center of The Highest Gold Moon.
Beyond The Devastating Remorse and the gloom.
Beyond The Eternal Light is A Heavenly Perch...
One Lost Soldiers Endless and Peaceful Search.

Freedom is my medicine.
My sugar topped with cinnamon.
My my metabolism to my
adrenaline.
Being locked up is impure,
So, my strength, I endure.
"I embrace it with my arms,
through the struggles,
through the storms".
I'll take a dose of freedom
when I'm feeling down and out.
Freedom is my cure
when my soul is in a drought.
"When I close my eyes,
I dream, dreams of freedom.
"Freedom is my "Paradise",
my "Heavenly Kingdom".
"It holds me so tight
never letting me go".
"Some
me people say I'm crazy".
"All I have to say is, so"!
"I carry my freedom,
like a child in my womb,
and when I die,
freedom will live.
it won't follow me to my tomb"!
" FREEDOM"
Call her Lucy
O'! For She once was all
Heavenly kingdom strung
On her Mandolin song
Call her Lucy
O'! For she had it all
Had she not fallen
Rising end-time eyes forlorn
O'! My poor Lucy
Fearing the last judges
Hammer,gavel,fire......
Earthly kingdoms now torn
THE WORLD SHOULD BE PEACEFUL.

Peace! Peace! Peace! Peace!
The world should be peaceful,
And let everyone be cheerful,
Make the world powerful,
And its people be greatful.
A country where people don’t get robbed,
A country where people don’t get conned,
A country where people don’t get favoured,
A country where people don’t get murdered,
A country where people don’t get scared.
A Nation with no fights,
A Nation with pretty sights,
A Nation with wide cultural and visual arts,
A Nation with preferable diets,
A Nation with balanced fixed assets.
A Nation with no pollution,
A Nation with well fed population,
A Nation with heavy commercial transportation,
A well trained work force nation,
A Nation with no commotion.
I would like the world to be free from tribalism,
I would like the world to be free from terrorism,
A Nation with varied history of mankind’s development,
And successive civilizations,
With a wide range of cultural horizons,
That enriches the individual personal resources.
Think of the world without any fight,
Oh my, what a sight,
The world should be peaceful,
And let everyone be cheerful,
Freedom! Freedom! Freedom!
Let the world be a heavenly kingdom.
Left a heavenly kingdom
To live on earth as a humble servant
He was obedient unto death
Even the death of the cross
Devoted blessed kind
Perfect and awesome sacrifice of love
Divine Glorious Hallowed Dedicated Holy
Worthy of infinite Honor and Praise
Belongs to Him who is Inviolable
Reverence and respect due Him
Who is soon to come
With agape love for all humanity
Reverence and bow down before
The Son Of Man
Brightening the manger scene is the awesome Christmas story…
Midst technology-apps, it is illumined with varied light’s iridescence
Enlivening the glorious, blissful and jovial prevalence
Of God’s love reaching down to humanity with great victory.
Quickening to life the nativity characters is computer-driven wisdom…
Animated Joseph and Mary converse with guests along peace tidings
The baby smiles, assuring Emmanuel’s presence and blessings
Banishing gloom, welcoming everyone to His heavenly kingdom.
With social media’s time machine, I visit the manger with grateful jubilation
As shepherds express hope midst global problems and crises
Devoid of materialistic greed against reality’s pretenses
Presenting their commitment to spread the good news for mankind’s salvation.
Along modern animation, the angels' praise-songs reverberate sweetly
Their "Hosannas and Hallelujas" echo with their worship
While the sheep, lambs and donkeys agree in grateful partnership
Urging guests to join with their "O come all ye, faithful" rendition triumphantly.
For its spiritual impact, the manger scene’s influence is immortal
Beyond faith’s machination, it endures forever
Declaring God as the Supreme grace-Giver and sin-Forgiver
Inviting us to trust Him and share His gift of life eternal.*
*Romans 6:23 ... The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
