RETURN TO GOD

we think we got here all on our own
dismissing the power of God's throne 
yet there are many who don't believe in God
so how did this universe even get its start?

God gave us life 
we exist because of He
we need to return to Him 
exponentially 
for every time we leave Him
out of the mix
we call and cry out for Him.
to come in and fix

they say the Big Bang theory 
is how life began
but to me the Big Bang 
was God clapping His hands
God said, it's time for Me to create
stars, planets and people
small and great

God gave us life 
we exist because of He 
we need to return to Him 
exponentially 
for every time we leave Him 
out of the mix 
we call and cry out to Him 
to come in and fix 

no matter what situations 
we created or instigated 
we call on God to come in 
and somehow vacate it
so, return to God with the fullness
praying and fasting
render to God what's in you
in a manner everlasting 

God gave us life 
we exist because of He 
we need to return to Him 
exponentially 
for every time we leave Him 
out of the mix 
we call and cry out to Him 
to come in and fix 

let His grace, mercy and compassion 
in you overflow 
return to God 
the One who's really running this show

Premium Member Xmas Pud

It’s Christmas day
Hip hip hooray
With festive cheer
And our family here
The feast begins
Amidst all our grins

Crackers pulled, mottos read
Fancy hats upon each head
With turkey eaten
We’ll not be beaten
Enter the flaming pud
Which looks so good

But whence it came?
This pudding of fame
‘Twas a Roman cook
Where first we look
Making pottage of meat and veg
Placing in readiness on a window ledge

By the fourteenth century frumenty it became
Meat with fruit, wine and spices, it was not the same
This soupy dish was a fasting meal
A preparation for Christmas was the deal
With added eggs, breadcrumbs and fruit it changed once more
Plum pudding lasted until banned under Puritan law

The arrival of King George, the ‘Pudding King’
Got the outlawed pud back in the swing
For his royal feast he did declare
Plum pudding would be the dessert fayre
By Victorian days the meat had gone
Enter the Christmas pud known by everyone

Merry Christmas!

A seasonal frame of mind led to this!

Jesus's 40 Day Judgment

Here starts Christ’s journey
Jesus enveloped in burning sand 
Starving and alone 
A snake slithered to Jesus 
Yaldabaoth whispered 
“Loved flower of the father 
If you’re truly that 
Tell the stone to become bread” 
But Jesus proclaimed 
“According to your very law 
In your very words 
Man shall not eat bread alone” 
Saklas showed the world 
His painting for Christ to see 
Saklas asserted 
“Treasured light from the bright sun 
If you’re truly that 
Accept these splendid kingdoms  
These are my making 
These are my authority 
Bow down to my tail 
Worship my lion’s face 
And these you will have 
For there is no god but me” 
But Jesus replied 
“Worship and serve God only” 
To mock the craftsman 
By reciting his own verse 
To worship one above him 
Remembering God above 
Samael just snarled 
Brought Jesus to the temple 
On the pinnacle 
Above Satan’s creation 
Samael shouted 
“Precious water from the lake 
If you’re truly that 
Fall like wisdom fell 
For you will be saved 
For my angels shall catch you 
For it’s in my psalm” 
But Christ’s closing reply was 
“Your prophet Moses 
Said Do not test the lord your god 
So by your own law 
I shall not quiver and trip 
So wisdom may rise” 
The lion headed serpent 
Who could not reply 
Slithered away on his earth 
Jesus left the burning sands

Premium Member Fasting For Faith

In deference to her Father, she did not complain.
There was no look on her face that showed any pain.
It was a bit of a sacrifice, but she was totally willing.
She kept to her daily routine, her soul gently filling.

He has done so many things for her, this was okay.
She fasted without sharing the fact, this was her way.
It was between God and her, no one else needed to know.
She was able to march forward with joy, that this was so.

Fasting suited her fine, it was the least she could do.
She owed him so much, this was no big deal to Sue.
She is a pious woman, who wants to give back to her King.
The Father who frankly has given her life and everything.

Premium Member Strength Against Evil

Prior to the start of his public ministry
 Father Christ Jesus spent 40 days in the desert fasting and praying
Spending time with Eternal God strengthened Father Christ Jesus and His connection to Eternal God
Knowing that Jesus or Father Christ intended to loosen His evil grip on the world
Satan visited Him in the desert when he hoped Jesus or Father Christ would be weakest
Satan wanted to turn Father Christ Jesus away from Eternal God but the combination of prayer
Scripture  
Grace helped Jesus or Father Christ resist evil and temptation
For example
In response to each of Satan’s temptations
Father Christ Jesus referred to Scripture—Eternal God’s word—for His instructions and acted upon them
 When Satan quoted Psalm 91 for his own evil purpose
Father Christ Jesus knew
Understood and acted on Eternal God’s real message
Staying in prayerful contact with Eternal God
Acting on His instructions in Scripture
Seeking his grace will help us resist evil too
 Add more time with Scripture and prayer during Lent this year so you can strengthen your connection with Eternal God
 Arming yourself with grace ahead of time will make you stronger in the face of temptation


Covenant

With faith in God we'll be secure
Obedience in Him gives us success
Fasting and praying does much more
Never letting life's troubles obsess

Obedience in Him gives us success
Letting Him guide our every step
Never letting life's troubles obsess
Giving  to Jesus things we've long kept

Letting Him guide our every step
Knowing that His promises are forever  true
Giving to Jesus things we've long kept
I know because He loves me and also you

Know that His promises are forever true
Fasting and praying does much more
I know because He loves me and also you
With faith in God we'll be secure

Keep the Focus

From zero to fresh focus:
No fads or "hocas-pocas,"
Occult tricks, nor superstitions,
Just go to Boot-Camp not institutions.
It's not about me.
It's to take a stand, you see,
A life if convictions;
Real-life risks, no fictions,
In live with Father-God and Jesus, 
His Only Son that can free us,
Unaffected by criticisms, just in Love
With other and their dialogues; all the above
Seeing hearts heal brokenness and change
With no pretense, our focus rearrange,
Processing seriously but not redundant
With you in joy abundant!
Unseen injuries make it hard work
The fears lurk!
What is expected or appreciated,
Not just reactions with heart emaciated?
Bring closure and see a prologue
To nearing the goal, remove the "log,"
Rebound in faith, never be a snob,
Nor sarcastic or the Mob.
So keep your focus and the Power
Of the resurrected Christ in your tower.
Self-control is gain
Like waiting, it's a pain!
But keep your focus clear.
Hear God's music in your inner-ear.
Yes, we are all a-work-in-progress.
It's safe and fine to regress. 
To vulnerability and keep involved.
Healing doesn't need all problems solved.
There's no natural-born leader.
In time we can also be a feeder.
So conquest the temporal and material.
Move in rebuilding the empire
Let Jesus' Way be your pick. 
Don't be a lonely cynic
Give others the benefit of the doubt
Wear a smile, not a pout.
Banish the evil of a derailed life
The enemy tries to bring in strife
Like the striking snake it'll be too slow
For you fly high; it's too low!
So prepare for success. 
Diligently sort the mess
All the way to the end.
Sign the Pledge not to bend;
To act, rebound, giving credit and devotion.
Like a sweet perfume or lovely lotion.
In prayer and fasting let negatives go
Study the Bible's fine print and know
That the challenge and the focus brings
Support, Light and salt-quality that sings!
Can you say what you feel?
In sincerity will your friendships seal?
We will find the common ground.
Honor and respect will be found.
If there's no logic nor gentle calm,
Will we feel the Spirit's balm?
Even pillow-fights will irritate,
The time move on with fate.
Surprises will loose their fun
With that Special Someone!
So, brace yourself, focus and move.
Soon your success you will prove
With All glory given to the Lord,
Never more to be bored.

It is Incredible to see famine in all the places, on earth, in heavens and underneath the earth.
Various lives in each kingdoms are crying for   bailout  package;
The animals , human, even the ants, are demanding for bailout;
 The birds in heavens, the fishes in the sea  and the dead bodies  underneath the earth are not left out.
Protesting  for their stolen rights to be restored and a total removal of famine. 
What a world of protest and bail out  we created for ourselves?

Sleeping with one eye closed and one eye opened  has become  new  security measure.
Land and sea that supposed to yield its kinds are into  serious famine.
All creatures, are now  fasting as a result of famine YOU  brought upon  land and sea.
Homes of the poor, famine is biting  harder than ever before; the ants that eats from home are starving  of hunger, aquatic animals are dying,  herdsmen are now eating sheep meals. 

The bridge of success has been broken;  replaced with struggles and hawking in the streets of  all nations.
Hawking yes! Our bodies in  streets under a dark blue lights, where both literates and illiterates are equal.
I am driven  to famine by YOU.
Famine  made me to do what you all  called terrorism, kidnapping, suicide bomber that you  invented and now condemned  with one side of your lips.
In my famine, you employed me to destroy innocent people, properties of nations  and made more monies for yourselves.
The more you drive me into famine, the more my bile is split.
Calling for famine is calling for war and calling for war is calling for more famine.
Stop political  greedy war, democratic  famine war  in all nations will stop.

Premium Member The Audience of One

What is the audience of one?
Am I one of them?
For the glory and the honor
For The Father’s praises
Hallelujah
For the applause or awe of man, 
Can’t stand but, for an audience of the One, who sees it all.

Holy, Holy, Holy is Our God
And no one, on one can deny
 True for those listening 
And true for us today. The issue is not whether giving
 to the poor, prayer, and fasting are good to do,
 but rather, how the good things we do for the Lord 
should be gone about.

Done in the Righteousness of God for His glory
is the audience of one?
Am I one of them?
For the glory and the honor
For The Father’s praises
Hallelujah
For the applause or awe of man, 

Can’t stand but, for an audience of the One, who sees it all.
Holy, Holy, Holy is Our God
Hallelujah
For the applause or awe of man, 
Can’t stand but, for an audience of the One, who sees it all.
Holy, Holy, Holy is Our God
In all things give praise and praises to the ALMIGHTY

The Merits of Fasting: Merry Ramazaan

Fasting cleanses both body and soul
It breaks you only to make you whole
Its spiritual connection plays a vital role.

Now not only the wearer knows the shoe pinches
for you get the chance to be in the needy's shoes
A whole month to forget those addictive binges
A chance to comprehend the poor man's cues.

Donot complain if your tummy's rumbling grumbling
for the poor man has always been thus starving
Feel his hunger, feel for him
and side by side give your weight a trim
Everybody wants to be so slim.

Many religions do prescribe it
The fasting one will describe it
If you have never done it
you might want to try it.

A month of fortitude, forbearance is a month of fasting
intended to impart a self-control and patience that's everlasting.

We all need ketosis to get rid of the lipids, fat stores
And researcher Google just told me that's what fasting ensures!

Craving for eatables the belly though may be raging
yet scientists have proved that produces a substance for anti-aging!

So if you are interested in a healthier, longer life span
come join me and fast away this month of Ramazaan.
It's time you understood God's health plan.

Researchers say the fasting person diverts energy
from the digestive system to the immune system!
Every wajibat has been proven good for both soul and body
Scroll even Google for yourself to thank the fasting dictum.

Fasting's a perfect way of bodily detoxification
Researchers say it's notable how fasting detoxifies each organ!

So come one come all, fasting can be for any creed
It lowers the BP and lowers the greed
as attention is diverted from the self to those in need.

I hope a month of NO food yet gives some food for thought
For a fasting from pondering should never be sought!
