Moving On Up

we need to let go of that welfare mentality
and let God bless us with a new and positive reality
just start believing that we deserve to be blessed
believe that through God our testimony will progress
God will command a blessing just for you
and He will send it abundantly too
moving on up towards your prosperity
moving on up to claiming the victory

you what to go forward in life, to no longer be in the same tired rut
you need to get motivated, so just get up off your butt
there's got to be something better now that you're a child of the true King
it's time for you to move on up and reach out for that gold ring
and whenever I call on you, the Lord God did say
humble yourself before Me, from this very day
and with the words out of your mouth, watch what you speak
don't call misery down upon yourself, stop being mentally weak

when God removed the Israelites from Egypt's slavery hold
as the chosen generation, He expected to do as they were told
God was attempting to move them on up
trying to fulfill their spiritual cup
He moved a mountain for them, He divided a river in half
but the Israelites were unyielding and continued to walk a disobedient path
they would not shut up and let God work in their lives
so God smote them with a 40 year curse full of misery and strife

people tend to harbor a lot of minor and petty stuff
we need to get rid of the baggage in life so God can move us up
we tend to put frivolous things and issues first in our minds
unable to see the real treasures that are hidden behind
and whenever God calls on us with a blessing or an anointing
we tend  undermine, hinder and underestimate our appointing
we need to stop walking around mumbling, moaning and groaning
we need to start doing some praying, fasting and atoning
believe that the Lord God can do the impossible
let Him give you a blessing and just trust in His gospel

God's work will be done, for He will make a way
God will bless you if you just shut up and learn to obey
don't get caught up in yourself , just have faith in His word
forget what the world has to say, forget the negative things that you've heard
moving on up with Father God at your back
moving on up towards prosperity on the right spiritual track


Premium Member Poetic Theme

So, what is the best theme for
a poem?  No guarded secret, all themes --  
Freely to Roam! And what, the prescribed 
destination or direction? Wherever the poet, 
himself, deems worthy of fond or pertinent 
affection –


Poetic Theme (extended metaphor)

So, what is the best theme for
a poem?  No guarded secret, all themes – 
Freely to Roam! And what the prescribed
destination or direction? Only those fond 
and pertinent, giving affectionate-justification as 
reason for procrastination – to linger in a moment's 
subtle discovery – the courses followed only those
which the poet deems entrancingly divine – he seeks 
heartfelt permanent encampment – or just an
amicable pause, in a neighboring field, fertile for 
blooming enchantment; with his companion pen, to chronicle
canorous visuals, fervently inspired – or simply folksy, 
lyrical rides; for the poet, alone, decides where his poetry lives 
or temporarily abides – 

(his muse, never far off – nearby, perhaps reflecting in the shade of a flowering 
fruit tree: heaped in petals, not trying to hide – more enjoying the velvety feel of an
apple before the outer peel, though colorful, would be far too bitter for his present 
aromatic meal) – muse and poet, composing through a single eye. Writing as one: 
sharing new sights – sounds with scent – their mind dutifully toward poetry 
bent – shades of detail, mellifluously transcending common scheme and rhyme – 
incanting verse worthy of a brief performance, or immortal, blessed shrine – 
It's all fair, such dulcet affair! All subjects! All seasons! – preferring spring, in which to self-lavish and spiritually entwine. Therefore, his paths are fanciful, never truthful as definitive 
would define; often choosing glitter over harsh realty, yet can be a prophet and oracle if a troubling-time -- though never, a ruling class mime; – in this sense, he is a likable charlatan, a chimerical rebel...irreconcilable passion his soulful crime,  therefore not ever exhibited, an atoning-word or act of sorrowful contrition – so loved by God, who gags at his counterpart, the lying politician.

158 Years and Still Counting Our Blessings

as the legacy lives on we're continuing to make it great
in celebration of Berean Baptist's 158th
a monumental journey that many would find impressing
but we at Berean just simply count our blessings
for there's no need to brag nor is there a need to boast
as we are only still in existence by the grace of the Holy Ghost
for 158 years we've stayed in prayer and preparation
by giving all the glory to God for our church's continuation

when Gideon went before the Lord God
and then asked the Lord to do His part
God then told Gideon there are a few things he needed to understand
if he desired the Lord God to place victory in his hands
you must be willing to step out on faith
and willing to sacrifice whatever it takes
you must faithfully believe in the cause
for the Kingdom is at stake and there's no time to stop and pause
you need to willing trust in God's instructions
and lean not towards your own for it may lead to destruction
you need to be willing to follow in line
and keep the Lord God foremost on your mind
you need to simply kneel down to God and pray
that as long as you have a will God will find a way
trusting in the Lord and no longer stressing
having no more fears and just counting your blessings

you need total faith and trust plus blind belief
that God will answer your prayers and give you relief
trusting in the Lord to always provide
believing that He is always firmly by your side
understanding that the Lord God is fully aware
of everything that you are going through down here
praying to the Lord and sincerely confessing
repenting and atoning and counting your blessings

chosen by the hand of God and now appointed
touched by the word of God and now anointed
in the presence of the Holy Spirit that has spurred you on
a new disciple of Christ now renewed and reborn
praying for yourself and everyone else who is around
lifted up by the word of God and now planted on higher ground
now living a life of substance and not mere window dressing
making it great in 2008 by simply counting your blessings

Jesus: He Is Me

The sun is bright as 
ever, washing me in 
bands of heat, I'm 
hanging in the air 
as nails impale my 
hands and feet,

I know that I am 
dreaming on some 
night I'm deep in 
sleep, I'm dreaming 
that I'm Jesus, I am 
Him and He is me.

The pain is unlike 
anything I've ever 
felt before, I hear 
some scream for 
blood while I hear 
others yell for more,

they have me on 
what looks to be a 
wooden crucifix, my 
body's like the 
letter 'T', you should 
envision this,

But me I feel the 
horror from the 
beatings that they 
gave, while some 
would call it torture, 
I endured it just to 
save,

humanity's 
descendants but 
my name is used in 
vain, I feel my life is 
draining as my 
head descends in 
shame.

I perservered for 
many hours, 9 to be 
exact, to witness 
this would render all 
your mentals non-
intact,

just picture me a 
moment, on the 
cross betweenst 2 
thieves, they broke 
their legs and 
knees but they did 
not do this to me.

I smell a scent and 
think of death, it's 
all inside my mind, 
I'm shrouded as I 
die but I will surely 
have my time,

for 3 days later here 
I am, I died to rise 
again, atoning for 
the sins of all the 
women and the 
men.

The children of this 
world should 
comprehend the 
very role, I play 
inside of daily life to 
save their very soul,

just look at modern 
day events, the 
evidence is clear, 
no need for me to 
verify the end is 
very near.

Some folks will 
think of church, that 
very thought will 
make them hurt, 
well ponder the 
alternative, there're 
some who'll make it 
worse,

while yes I love the 
lot of you, my 
children one and all, 
you have to make it 
better otherwise 
you're gonna fall.

I wake up in my bed 
amidst a startle, oh 
I'm safe, I race into 
the bathroom and 
the mirror shows 
my face,

I wipe the sweat 
realizing everything 
that seems to be, 
that ALL of us are 
Jesus, I am Him, 
and He is me.

Jesus the Only Way

JESUS THE ONLY WAY

For God so loved the world that He gave as the atoning sacrifice for sin His one and only Son
There is no other name given under heaven by which we can be reconciled to God He is the 
one
Jesus said, He was the way, the truth, and the life, no one could come to the Father but by 
Him
Neither is there salvation in any other, He is the only Savior who can forgive and wash away 
sin.

He is the one who God spoke of, the seed of the woman that would crush the head of the 
serpent
He came to seek and save the lost, giving His life a ransom for many He calls sinners to 
repent
Those who believe and put their trust in Him, find forgiveness for sin by the blood of the 
Lamb  
He has revealed Himself as Savior, Lord, and God, His children know Him as the great I AM.

He is the mediator that makes the way to God accessible because He became the sin offering
He is the forerunner entering into God’s presence and for us he is now praying and 
interceding
He understands human weakness because He became one of us but He never committed 
any sin  
He faced everything we will face and overcame it all and now He is the way for us to enter in.

He makes God’s throne accessible to all who come in faith believing offering mercy and grace
He gives His righteousness to all who trust in him so we are accepted by God into the holy 
place
To everyone who receives Him, to them He gives the right to be called one of God’s children
For everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved and receive forgiveness of 
sin.
 
All authority has been given to Him by God the Father He is the sovereign ruler over all 
creation
He is the only Savior and Redeemer, who can change you and give your life a total 
transformation
He is coming back one day for His own to take us to heaven where forever His praises will 
be heard
He alone possesses the wisdom and power to perform all He has promised He would do in 
His word.

Sorhleod

It was the myriad relapse
The shadows perched, time slipped, the temptation resided to my mind
I'm sure I have most the soul I never once had
Lost; once you go into the dark eternal black there's no hope of dreaming of atoning back
 
Small child I cling to you trying to savor the innocence
When I could believe in everything again 
I tried All along to search for the truth
 But " the truth" is something that the truth eradicated
I want to be ignorant again
Can't face reality again 
 
Cease the pain that the pills can't heal
Evaporate the blood that negates the strife 
Let me believe in everything again
Break the fear
Remove the pins of reality
And I still wonder why
And I still wonder why "forgive" makes me cry
 
I can't make it stopThe razor beckons my name
The scars and all their Shame...
Find a way to pierce my serpent heart
Through the iron membrane it's bleeding, I know
 
When I have no cigarettes to burn
When I have no more knowledge to Learn
When I have no more xanax To cause concern
 
I've dried out
My heart is loosing it's touch
There's no way out
The abuse and abyss has sealed me
 
Cease the pain that the pills can't heal
Evaporate the blood that negates the strife 
Let me believe in everything again
Break the fearRemove the pins of reality 
And I still wonder why
And I still wonder why "forgive"makes me cry
 
I've dried out
My heart is loosing it's touch
There's no way out
The abuse and abyss has sealed me
 
I've dried out
tMy heart is loosing it's touch
There's no way out
The abuse and abyss has sealed me

TWINFLAMES

TWINFLAMES 

Obsidian oscillated into lava
     slid across syntactic streams
        tumbled thick greenwood thickets 
           impenetrability an intricate illusion wicked
              shattering splintered sassy sinkers

Lord Ashtar himself lifted gnarled garbage 
    two big broken black bags to Source 
      split seconds of screaming searing sores
        then baby posture soaked singular satin  
              Prophet Daniel’s prison-free prediction

Coloured lava languid loosened
     yin-yang of yesteryear’s yarrows
        as Watchfulness wedded yearnings
        no black bumblebees boomeranged bombs 
              rainbow hands belled belly beckoning 

Solar flares ignited twin hearts atoning
  corona emissions spilling splashing space
      sodalite sprinkled sundrenched shores 
       kaleidoscope pupils pleasing pulsing fate
           Hearts purely placed on golden plate 

Four eyes fathomed Guy Fawkes fickle 
    feuding onto a fervid foolproof floor
       Stonehenge now sturdily steadily stood 
           sedating simple silent sleep suavely 
               Axis acceded alchemical ascensions  

Missions matched mottoed moulded mountains 
    timelines merged in mossy musical movement 
        Justice jumping jibbing Jungian jurisdiction 
          Presence posied a present perfection
            Dreams delivered dictums to Duet
                                      
             Delicious domed desserts diffusing !

Conceived In Eternal Love

Joseph was a young man excited about life
A maiden named Mary was pledged to be his wife
But then he received news that he could not ignore
News that hurt and the community would deplore
Though they had not come together she was with child
This kind of shame would cause them both to be profiled

Being a good man he did not want to cause her pain
To force public disgrace, there was nothing to gain
I’ll quietly divorce her, he fretfully resolved
This will be better for all the parties involved
But as he was dreaming in the blackness of night
An angel appeared, spoke to him, and set things right

Take Mary as your wife, and do not be afraid
Years past the prophet spoke of a plan that was made
The child that grows in her is a gift from above
Wrought by the Holy Spirit, in eternal love
She is carrying in her womb a precious son
Through him for mankind abundant life will be won

You will call Him Jesus, a savior from heaven
In His powerful name God will stop sin’s leaven
Through His life and story God among us will live
By His atoning work He has much grace to give
So Joseph arose, as commanded, without delay
Took Mary as his wife, The Lord he did obey

Scripture said that from a virgin Christ would be born
To allow otherwise would create righteous scorn
So they refrained from sex until after the birth
Denying themselves the natural urgings of earth
When the time came there was born a child of great fame
God’s precious gift, a savior, Jesus was His name.

Premium Member Homeless in the Rain

The sky, heavy-laden with curdled black clouds,
Burst wide open, and all night long it rained.
It pitter-pattered on the panes,
And rattling on the slanting roofs.
It churned the dry soil to a pulp,
Overflowed the dusty gutters.
It drove the people from the streets,
And moaned amongst the houses.
 
'Twas but a fluke, a summer storm
Lightning snaked the sky
Thunder rumbled and crashed
Instilling fear and panic in passers-by.
Soon it abated to a drizzle,
A thin mist shrouded the square.
And as the town clock struck the sixth hour
Ghostly figures ventured forth again.
 
Yet during all this precipitation
He trudged alone along the streets,
Rain dribbled through his matted hair
And wetted stubble on his dirty face.
It cleansed his external demeanour
From the grime of past lazy days,
It could do nothing to eradicate 
The heaviness that filled his inner self.
 
The air was warm, and strange enough
He felt little discomfort from the rain.
The vault of heavy clouds ascended,
The breeze was gentle and fresh.
 
He went back to his favourite place,
The bakery shop has not yet opened,
From its cellars hot dry air
Surged up, surrounded by his whole being,
Warming him from the wet chill.
He soaked up the fragrant smell
And yearning for freshly baked bread,
A luxury he could ill afford.
 
And so he continued on his journey,
Alone, atoning for his past.
Hungry and desolate and chained,
Externally cleansed by the drenching rain
Until the day he'd die.
