Depend upon God. Pt2.
PS. 130:5 I wait for the Lord, my soul doth wait, and in His word do I hope.
7 Let Israel hope in the Lord; for with the Lord there is mercy, and
With him is plenteous redemption.
8 And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
As we wait for the Lord in our season, remember His steadfast love and faithfulness.
To his people. And be assured that he has heard our prayers.
Our confidence shall remind us that he is with us.
6: My soul waits for the Lord, more than they that watch for the morning:
I say more than they who watch for the morning.
And so shall I, knowing that God will return in the morning, to me according to
to his promises.
For God’s covenant is more firm than the ordinance of day and night.
They will one day pass away.
But that which is everlasting remains steadfast, tried, and true.
The cross at Calvary commands that it’s finished.
And the pilgrim of Zion shall never be defeated.
By life’s forces of hell.
That is why we have many testimonies as proof.
We, too, must learn to depend on God.
Based on Psalms 6 and 51
Examine my heart, o Lord
For Thou know the secrets of my heart,
And rebuke me not in Thine anger
As I sinned against Thee and my neighbour.
I pray for Thy boundless mercy,
Because of my afflicted soul
My body might be clean
But my heart stains with my iniquities still.
I am overwhelmed with grief and sorrow,
As my tears have flooded my bed
My loved ones and friends stand aloof from my plague
And my foes has seen me crushed still.
O Lord, my God, hear my grieving cry
Hear my supplications to Thee
Forsake me not, my Heavenly Father
Examine and heal my heart, o Lord.
Done me almost too well,
The birth of price, I say.
For notwithstanding my eager finalities,
I put a straw on my head.
I blended my conscience to cater devils,
Forever he told me not to.
Blemished was my innocence
Frequent even, more when I concluded.
Therefore I put up a stick by the tree
And saw what difference there could be.
Let alone death urge me to hasten,
Insanity begs me to come.
Take a water for my head,
Let me not dry myself up.
I gave too much for illusions,
Now mind you, I got hurt from collisions.
Another sniff, yes, just one more bite.
Another sight, just another sound to my eyes.
I locked my brain somewhere, inches away.
Heard it calling for logic
While I deprived myself away.
Done and done
Yet again, so much was done.
And then blame my great God for my iniquities,
I cried for my own pity.
“Never again”, I said and screamed,
Yet never again was washed by the stream.
So fragile was my fortitude
And lacked a concrete stance.
Once again, I fell again.
Another again, just one more.
#Tone_it_down_my_dear
breath runs out of my lungs, this dungeon on my body grips tighter, yet I'm still nearing to her finer reflection..,
Glare in her face keep trapping my courage to confront her, I look, but still come back with tattered emotions..,
she creates so much iniquities to my sanity. One glance in her eyes, in this maze of her beauty, constantly return with drained batteries of my emotional and mental gps, leaving me wondering in the wilderness of her pulchritudeousness...
Wonder if her heart poses so pure and innocent as her smile, Troubled is my soul and mind, when fear keep piling wonders in place of confidence...
in my dreams I'm man, but her presence turns me into a lad, how hard I try to stand firm but my knees fails my strength, I need special ingredients of courage, mine, she had long exhausted

Life is so very important, a potent
inhale and exhale; even in the womb;
and who is he who dares to take life…
Who walked on the Galileean sea?
Whose feet felt the deep’s waters,
but stayed atop the rambunctious waves?
After all, who created the sea and
its boundaries? We say His name,
even when we breathe in and out.
So who dares to take out what He
has created - the effrontery in black.
Blessed are the peacemakers,
the conscientious martyrs -
those who hold up the Word of God,
not the coward’s knife, gun, or hate.
Blood mixed with tears on the cross.
*He was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace
was on Him* - you know His name.
This was peace made between
God and man; peace that riles up
all of hell. Some embrace this peace.
If you remember anyone’s name,
the martyr, likewise, would have
you recall the name of Jesus Christ.
The martyr closed his eyes and
opened them up to the one who gives life.
*from Holy Bible, book of Isaiah chapter 53
If ever we needed to ventilate,
it is now…the thickening tragedy
of lies have become too heavy
for the respiration of living truth…
Indeed…the dire situation
has reached lunging capacity
and the alveoli of reality
are sparking gut-wrenching
diarrheic retribution…
Breathe people…breathe…
check the yellowing mane…
strings of manipulation pulling
thin loose-lips of a sinking ship…
Breathe people…breathe…
the corona of truth shines
its bright light of truth…glowing
around the dark moon of deceit
of Americanism’s tragic turn…
Be mindful… people …scapegoats
come and go…in God, we must trust…
rather than loaning our sacred lives
to ill-fated government iniquities…
As believers—in the Lenten resurrection—
let us be about the business of resuscitation
of our beloved dying nation—yes …ours—built
by the blood-brick masonry of our Ancestors…
The Voice that spoke into being
Before the world began
Everything we see around us
He spoke them into being
The stars, the moon, the sun that shines
Birds and beasts of every kind
Created at the sound of His Voice.
The Voice that said one day
“Let us make man”
In Our image, in Our own likeness
The Voice that angels fear and love to hear
The very Voice that calmed the storm
And healed the sick, the blind, the lame
Was silent before an angry crowd.
Yes! He was silent for our sake
The spotless Lamb
Scarified, crucified
By the cruelty of man.
Creator of this universe
His silence broke the chains, the curse
As powerful as His Voice that spoke
Was His silence, that shook all hell and earth.
He was wounded for our transgressions
He was bruised for our iniquities
He was willing to be silent
To buy our salvation and healing!

Mocked him,
Cursed him,
Spat upon him,
Poured their utmost scorn
upon him.
Nailed him,
Pierced him,
Wrong accused him,
Uncontent
till they had killed him –
Dead!
Taught them,
Loved them,
Understood them,
Came from heaven
to regain them,
Saw them,
Heard them,
Free forgave them,
Life-blood from his heart
to save them –
Bled!
“He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor punished us according to our iniquities.”
Psalm 103:10, NKJV
Finding Jesus
Miracle Man
5/18/2024
At age twenty-eight I truly sought God’s face,
and quickly found an outstretched nail scarred hand.
At eighty-five, God ushered me to the place,
Where today as His “Miracle Man” I stand.
The sin that I had so long labored under,
had been forgiven and my new life begun.
Now today He still forgives any blunder,
because I trust in Jesus, God’s only Son.
Hebrews 10:17
“And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.”

??Isaiah? ?59:1?-?2? ?NIV??
[1] Surely the arm of the Lord is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear. [2] But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear.
Oh, God that I would question your reach
For it was the foolishness of me
That had kept me in bondage of darkness
My arm not reaching to learn your ways
Blinded by the world teachings
And traditions of man
That loves praise of man than you God
For this is where Jesus came to save us from
Oh, God your hand reached down
Unto the depths of my soul
Circumcising the old man to the grave
When I threw up my hands to know you
How abundant is your love, mercy and grace.
For greater is the Spirit sent from Jesus death
Than is in the darkness of mankind ruled by the evil one.
Your hand reaches down to snatch One from death.
To resurrect one unto a Living Child of God
Born again
Uplift my soul oh God
Cos I can't continue always
In my old deformities
Strength my path in life
And wash my grieves away
Abide with me always and
Take my shadow away from
The tables of iniquities
Be my companion in this troublesome era
Let my ego be of humanity
Otherwise keep me humble from falling
Tear my old clothes of foolishness
And filter my destiny with your grace oh God
Born again
Fight against those who fight against my life
Never leave them in peace
Whose plan is to devour my peace of mind
Stand up for me were am weak oh God
Rise up to my rescue when am in trouble
I don't want to be part of the makers of vanity
So plead my case with love oh Angels of grace
Revive my dying stars oh God
Clean up my energy again
To live up and fulfill my worth on this planet
Take me out from traps of illusion
And remake me new just like am
Born again
