You will see me stopping here
To watch this bar fill up with laughter
Between the darkest evening of the year
And the dusty light that has drawn us near.
You must think my accent is strange
Mumbling sounds in a downy lake
With effectual ease and hoary winding age
For a stranger to ask if there is some mistake.
Although your acquaintance is lovely
This red street is dangerously dark and deep
And I have far to go before I sleep in the ally
Where fear is the only other sound to weep.
At the collects bar, the tourist ask
Whose drinks are these you did not know?
I could only see the glow in the glasses
filled with deadly ice-cold snow.
The moment finally came after living hard
with poise and strength, and gritted teeth,
In all the dangers you have survived
breathless bodies in paradise plated in the heat
Blood on the bar appears to most as sauve
The center of activity to be loved and hate
With dark clouds and lights lowered above
Red ground, saddest verge feels the weight.

She lies quietly inside her pain
Another day stretched out before
Hospice has arrived to ease her journey home.
Her Father in Heaven is near,
All talking has ceased,
After all she can do, she is helpless and worn
to a simple breathless, "help me Lord?"
As her caregiver I offer a prayer of hope,
Knowing the Savior had heard her call
I prayed that an effectual door might open and
thru His grace a witness given, that she might know
she is a blessed child of God. I wrap her in a soft
blanket of white and hold her in my arms and whisper,
Be not afraid

There is an inward change only God can do
it's spiritual that brings things so effectual
this work goes real deep into the heart
using man-made schemes are so ineffectual
On that transaction day in '82
Jesus came into leave His mark
changing thoughts to open my mind
bringing His light to quench the dark
My language was changed overnight
knowing now what is right from wrong
having real reverential awe for God
for the first time knowing that I belong
The bible came alive truly to this day
it had an inner voice speaking to me
especially the life of Jesus who is God
His love displayed dying on Calvary's cross
Jesus came in to leave His mark
upon me showing Himself my true light
what a privilege to know my saviour
to know Him personally changes my behavior
(How has knowing Jesus changed your life? What was your life like before and after you came to know Jesus as your Lord and Savior? So this is my story of how Jesus changed my life)

Effectual fervent and ever fondest
Flowing out calm from the heart
Zealous and sorrowful to find
Solutions to deep searching grid
When you rise to God the pain
Heartfelt and spontaneous,you gain
Sincere answers and results
For the worries and insults
Some say rise of heart and mind
Some say conversation to mighty
But I say confess your pain bellow
And wait for the result that follow

God alone is the ultimate healer
only in His power can He heal
to achieve that go along the true path
there alone is the heavenly meal
Confession is the route for release
there we find forgiveness from God
by admitting our sins to each other
healing our souls He spreads abroad
Come to the Lord in faithful prayer
pray for each other to be healed
there God touches your sinful heart
like as if your inner soul is revealed
Be sure to pray with a fervent spirit
so you're effectual in all you say
there God will reward you much
your darkness will turn to day
The true path to healing
is found only in God's word
there is your medicine prescribed
for you're a lamb among His herd
("Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much." ~James 5:16)

Before the electronic mail we have now
snail mail was the only postal means
write a letter, stick a stamp, envelope sealed
into the postbox it goes my forever dreams
My first love Jean for a year
did write to each other every week
looked forward to that post come
it meant so much without it all's bleak
But then post stopped we dated
fell in love so very very much
got wed for we were the match
but Jean passed away by God's touch
My second love Christine loved mail
regularly we penned to one another
really got to know each other well
so wondered if we could go further
Then I got chickenpox out of the blue
so Christine sent me a get well card
that clicked us so we started to date
got wed 9 months later, our love starred
So mail has a loving touch
shows its hand to a live connect
I can vouch truly for that
twice it helped me, love select
(This is written looking back on mail and it's effect on my love life as it twice had a effectual lasting proof on it.)

He didn't utilize stake in the chest ...
I didn't wear onion collars,
no cross, holy water,
no prayers ...
His method was further effectual ...
It was deadly and definitive:
It used the flame. of a candle
that even burned his fingers ...!
It came from under the vampire
mosquito, full of blood, and
burned it on the wall ...
Fatal, fatal .. the vampires died,
The sucking vampires
Burnt burnt... !

Mesmerizing magnetism, mere mingling perfection;
melodic, magical murmurs melt like molten sweet confection.
Pleasing, playful, palpable perfection in pure pleasures;
teasing, tasting, tantalizing... thrilling, tangible treasures.
Delectably delightful, deliriously drenched desire;
effectual expression electrifyingly fuels the fire.
Fidgety, frolicking fingers flee to frame affection’s face;
feverous fascination fused with everlasting grace.

Through the Saviour’s grace*
let's be nourished by His Word
feasting for soul's health…
...spiritually growing.
Midst the Lord’s glory
let's worship in gratitude’s bliss
praising with tranquility-radiance...
...divinely glowing.
Along God’s compassion
let's reach-out to offer His loving kindness
ministering gladly through the Holy Spirit…
...heavenly going.
*Ephesians 3:7 Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.

First of all in regard to this verse
God here is speaking to His elect
for He names them lovingly His beloved
such love so pure believers willingly detect
God brings many a promise to His own
He's not at all slow for them to fulfil
despite how some think wait too long
for all His acts are spot on in His will
The Lord is full of divine patience
waiting and seeking for His very own
by His holy spirit in His effectual draw
pointing to Calvary their sin He did atone
To fulfil the demands of the saviour
God grants His own the gift of repentance
then they come in a spirit of humility
bowing in homage at His dependence
This election is not for all of the world
again God's showing this for those He chose
from before the world began marking them out
for Christ died only for them this God knows
("The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.") 2 Peter 3: 9 (KJV)

Past generations were taught not to question;
do as they were told, and authority was always
right. One generation revolted; with lack of
understanding, indifference, complacency,
and a false sense of security; set the stage for life
today.
History has written their story; the disintegration
of a Nation. But, the winds of change are
blowing; another story is unfolding. The
Nation is presented with yet, another
complicated puzzle to solve.
Today a generation exists with a different
perspective. It is the their turn to fill in those
crucial pieces. Will they succeed in bringing
about beneficial, effectual changes they proclaim?
Only one thing is sure; history will write their
story too.
