A Real Bodhisattva
A bodhisattva is the Buddhist equivalent
Of a warrior for Christ, who is well on their way
To being Christlike themselves.
Of course there are many degrees of bodhisattva
From those who only have the wish to be
To those who actually are.
Literally millions are examples of the former.
The Dalai Lama is a good example of the latter.
Real bodhisattvas are rare.
Their hallmark is infinite love and compassion
For all beings
Combined with deep insight
Into the true nature of reality.
This week the world lost a real bodhisattva
In the form of a young American patriot,
Who at just 31 years old
Had successfully reached a whole generation
Galvanizing many young people
To critically look within
And embrace traditional American values
Of family, honesty, integrity, openness,
Love, tolerance, inclusivity, and faith.
And for this he was martyred.
The world is a better place
For having known Charlie Kirk.
But it is certainly not a better place without him
Unless we take up his mantle
Take the torch, and shield and sword
And become real warriors of Christ
Bodhisattvas in the army of truth.

November 21 Praises to God Bible Meditations Based on Acts 24-26
Key Verse – Acts 24:15 And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.
PRAISE BE TO GOD FOR GIVING US HOPE TOWARD HIM
Praise be to God for giving us hope toward Him since we are:
Cleansed for conversion’s call
Created toward Christlike character
Cared for along compassion’s calmness
Committed through consecration’s cord
Contented by His counsel’s commendation
Acts 25:3 Praise be to the Lord for
granting us desired favour for:
Glow with His gentleness
Growth by His governance
Guidance along His greatness
Gladness through His graciousness
Generosity midst His goodness in our giving
Acts 26:18 Praise be to the Saviour for
opening our eyes with heavenly vision that is:
Purposeful against perversion
Powerful above pride’s potency
Productive midst poverty’s prevalence
Persuasive around precept’s protection
Prudent along His perfect and proven plan. Amen!

For those of us who wait
In steadfast faith sedate
For second coming of Christ
That we too see the light
Shifting towards ethereal
Beholding Gods miracle
This time
The chime
Will be felt
As bliss svelte
Ignition within
Grazing our skin
That we too be
Christlike, as He

What demon do you have in you;
What the denomination do you view,
so you call yourself a Christian
When is the last time you acted "Christlike"?
Where is your trust ?
Where is your house have you no hope?
And do you listen to the inter voice;
Ever so compelling;
So reveling;
Hallelujah!
Or who are you deceiving and are you believing;
In the demons floating in the air;
Wind blowing whisperings in the air;
Compelling and debonair;
Contrite and revealing;
Are you thinking about concealing;
Those Whispers that surround you;
Often reach out and bind you;
Is it firmly clear;
Is it Christ's Spirit you hear;
Truly truly rare;
Do you really really care;
I deter the demons view;
And I choose to try to;
Do as Christ would do?
Just what is your view what is Christ like to you?

In this political correctness mad world
believers of Christ need to stand to be true
for their Lord and all, He was and is
promote His gospel prayerfully we must do
Keep a watch on our own godliness
showing our life to be holy and Christlike
that we're living in Christ a true reality
uphold God's standard going forward to strike
All profaneness and opposition to God
must be opposed with strong spiritual might
Christian values once held in high esteem
now rejected by followers of the night
Believers need a loud wake-up call
too many don't want to rock the boat
need to realise that we're on Titanic
it's sinking, need to keep it afloat
Christ-likeness speaking out
in the holy spirit's divine power
holding forth God's holy truth
in Christ's name for this hour
Crosses
Christlike creatures carry crosses bravely borne
from fetters forged by blessed consecrations.
Wicked winds tear at flesh that’s whipped and worn
as vanquished persons hold on to their convictions.
A twisted world is turning towards the darkness
embracing envy, enmity and shame.
The holy sword is noted for its sharpness
as it cuts the callous with a fiery flame.
Christlike creatures carry crosses bravely borne
in days when demons dare to raise a hype of hell.
Yet, an angel protects them from the scorn
as they glance down on some sorry son that fell.
God will be victor in the wake of time.
There is a cross brand new for some to own,
a quick deliverance from hands that are unkind
to arms of welcome and a world called home.

Religion taught us to follow, taught us to act without questions
Taught us to hide our sorrows and pretend, giving the world false impressions
Day by day pleasing man and forgetting the one who was nailed for our transgressions
Creating a series of perfect assumptions and secretly denying the effects of sin's implications
Slowly distorting communication with him and following the world's jurisdictions
forgetting so soon the reason behind worldy demacation and heavenly adoration
Religion... a sad altercation from an initial christlike emulation..
Religion...an apparent deviation from the mind of Gods restoration
Losing my religion is a perfect indication of a new Godly invitation
I Agree to losing my religion as a form of heaven's reclamation.......
Suffering is to be found in every phase of life
Will be evident in the life of anyone who follows Father Christ
It is not a punishment or penalty
But an ordinary part of earthly existence
Patient suffering can be a shock absorber
That helps us over the potholes
Rough places of life without becoming all shaken up
When we accept suffering without constantly complaining
We weaken their negative impact
Wheather physical,
Mental
Emotional huts
The better we endure the cross
The more Father Christlike we become
Accepting sufferings means
Not running towards it but through it
Father Christ speaks of a mother
Forgetting her labor pains once child is born
Some saintly people have welcomed suffering
As a way of imitating Father Christ
Proving their love for Him
Savior has said we will save our souls
Through patient endurance.
Thanks Father Christ for Your suffering to save us

So many human beings say this and say that,but never keep it real.
Why is there so much defacation coming out of your mouth, when you profess to
be Christlike? Oh my mistake! You are just revealing what's coming out of your mouth, that actually lives in ther hidden depths of your decaying heart. What a travesty.
Never mine,cause I truly understand why you are incapable of keeping it real. Nevertheless, I will pray that one day The Lord will deliever you from your fraudulent existence.
• kisses that will last forever
are what I am looking for
and I keep thinking of you
and wishing you wanted me too
it seems pretty insane I guess
all this desire I have for you
not really knowing you
not ever feeling you
and barely knowing your name
a beautiful stranger
I wish I could make you talk to me
make you want me
you know who I am, you know my name
but unfortunately our feelings
just aren't the same
I really cannot explain how or why
it all happened so fast
it seemed to hit me suddenly
like nothing before in the past
I'm not myself around you
I seem to feel more free
like being drawn by a magnet
to a Christlike spirit
exuding peace and love and harmony
I once was a sinner;
But now I'm saved by Your grace
And my desire is to please You-
For in You lies my total strength.
Lord, let me be Your Instrument.
I know I have fallen short of Your glory
Through thoughts, words.and deeds
But cleanse me daily, deep within
From every unrighteous act of sin
And with Your Spirit
Lead me Lord-
Let me be Your Instrument.
When troubles come and I'm about to fall
Help me to listen and hear Your call
To higher heights and deeper depths
With purer thoughts to spiritual wealth
To a mark of a higher calling in You.
Use me Lord, to do Your will
Let Your Love be the permanent seal'
To bind me forever to the cause
To stand for the Truth
No matter the cost
That my life might be an example
Of a Christlike life, filled with Your strength
Lord, Let me be Your Instrument.
When others fail, and from You, turn their face
Because of disbelief of Your grace
Their eyes being blinded in discontent
Give to me that "more -than-conquerors strength
Take my hand; let me stand
Boldly in Your Word and not to flinch.
Father-
I hope you know that I see you.
Without permission, my mind's
been sketching you all day.
At once I see you hover,
a whisper away,
a roughed-up scramble of
cartoonist's strokes I couldn't
begin to fill in.
Your unsteady hand is mine.
You assemble your limbs in Jesus Christlike form
and emit your premonition of loneliness,
your prayer.
Father?
Who
are you?
Am I your misplaced mirror, are you
a mirror for my prayers?
Father, your mirror is jagged enough
to invite these weary veins to bleed.
Prayer, your portrait is far too bleak
to adorn the walls of my mind.
