The Jewish Man of War
Jesus was a pacifist, this we are told,
And that’s the story that’s been sold.
Some of the names surrounding his cause,
Demonstrate behavior to give this pause.
Simon Zelotes is one of the names,
That give us the reality of these aims.
Zelotes means zealot, and these men wanted,
To kill the Romans and were undaunted,
About wanting the violent overthrow,
And giving the Romans their final death blow.
And Judas Iscariot is another of these,
Whose name was altered only to please,
The masses who wanted Jesus as a pacifist,
But had to disguise this violent activist.
Sicariot means “dagger man”, with their own crusades.
Those who killed Romans with hidden blades.
And the name Iscariot has always been,
An unknown issue and believers chagrin.
Now we come the the Gethsemane garden,
Where Simon Peter gets a full pardon,
For lopping off a Roman’s ear,
And doing so without much fear.
But attacking a Roman soldier was a major crime,
And you’d be killed in a very quick time.
But Peter got to live his life,
And entered not his afterlife.
But there’s more to this tale that causes worry.
Carrying a sword would cause a scurry.
A sword was strictly a weapon of war,
Carried by Romans whom the Jews did abhor.
But seemingly here not unusual at all
And would have resulted in Peter’s downfall
Making this entire incident a complete oddball.
Finally the men on both sides of Jesus,
On their crosses, both quite grievous,
Were not thieves as the tale is told.
No one was crucified for steeling some gold.
The only reason one hung on a cross,
Was insurrection against Rome and and not the gloss,
That they were thieves being killed
For common crimes that they fulfilled.
So with this reality, we should agree,
The story is not what they claim it to be.
Jesus was not the Prince of Peace
But a rebel Romans could not release.
November 22 Praises to God Bible Meditations Based on Acts 27-28
Key Verse – Acts 27:25 Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.
PRAISE BE TO GOD FOR CHEERING US
WITH HIS GOODNESS
Praise be to God for cheering us with His goodness despite:
Oppositions opening ridicules
Opponents offering reproaches
Oppressions optimizing their restraints
Objections ostracizing us in their rebukes
Outcomes overwhelming us with reproofs
Acts 28:15 Praise be to the Lord for
giving us courage so we can:
Achieve with commitment by His graciousness
Accept challenges through His goodness
Act along character of gratefulness
Avoid carnality that is grievous
Accomplish for Christ’s glory
Acts 28:38 Praise be to the Saviour for
allowing us to preach His kingdom while:
Trusting His timeliness
Teaching about His truth
Toiling midst tests and trials
Testifying along His trustworthiness
Treading upon His turf and tarrying in His temple. Amen!

What right is it
of Man to challenge
creations unknowable plans…
Is it not the will of vanity
to keep all in the dark
or to enslave all
to the higher-order
of thought as does man.
…not a will to means, but to an end
the world is built to defend
But if man, hands are bloody
by the earths crust, then its means
to end this dominion of man…
Tis’ nothing more grievous
than killing future lands
As man is moving far,
far from creations Silver Shores…
What right does Man have to race
to the edge
of creation
& find the face
of God…
Imperfect!
the State of Arizona has signed a very crazy law
that in the opinion of most Americans has some major flaws
it requires each and every person who trods upon their land
to walk around with proof of citizenship papers in their hands
they say it's not racial profiling, they say it's fair and just
to make an assumption about anyone's immigration status
I don't know, maybe it's me
but doesn't this bill violate our basic civil liberties
Arizona is the only state which wanted no part of that federal determination
that made the birthday of the Rev. Dr. M.L. King a day of national celebration
I don't know about you America but I see the writing on the wall
If we don't stop this Bill the integrity of America will fall
most every person in the United States is a product of immigration
be it first, second, third, fourth or fifth generation
how dare those racists in Arizona try to pass this crazy law
that undermines everything that America stands for
"Give me your tired, your hungry and your poor" are the words on the Statue of Liberty
yet this law that demands proof of status is an Unconstitutional absurdity
the Police in turn won't be able to deal with any real crime
if they're going around asking people for citizenship papers all the time
no warrant is required, just a reasonable suspicion
but who has the wherewithall to determine that decision?
Heaven forbid if they should ever encounter a child
would they say "papers please" with a badge and a smile?
this is some BS, why can't they see that this bill is wrong?
and who in hell gave them the authority to tell people where they belong?
this Bill I call "Papers Please" this Bill we must fight
so that every American will sustain their inalienable rights
for this country to be like South Africa was with its aparthied situation
would be a grievous mistake and a true abomination
"Papers Please" Arizona's Senate Bill 1070 we must defeat
we need to let the State of Arizona know that we will take it to the streets
July 13 Heart for God Bible Meditations Based on Proverbs 1-3
Key Verse – Proverbs 1:7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
HEART THAT FEARS THE LORD REVERENTIALLY AND WISELY
Our heart fears the Lord reverentially and wisely by His presence
With His salvation’s assurance along His forgiveness’ license
From condemnation’s fatal incense against wickedness’ destructive sense
Toward rejuvenating revival to serve through His divine iridescence.
Our heart fears the Lord reverentially and wisely by His compassion
With His love’s direction along His Word’s instruction and vision
From hatred’s bitter reaction against apathy’s cold intrusion
Toward persevering devotion to prioritize His great commission.
Our heart fears the Lord reverentially and wisely by His kindness
With His care’s cheerfulness along His comfort’s gentleness
From rudeness’ conceited indifference against unconcern’s critical madness
Toward transforming goodness to show His marvelous graciousness.
Our heart fears the Lord reverentially and wisely by His commitment
With His call’s appointment along His charges’ reinforcement
From idleness’ empty achievement against slothfulness’ vain accomplishment
Toward strengthening diligence to work through His empowerment.
Our heart fears the Lord reverentially and wisely by His mercy
With His help’s restoration along His pardon’s clemency
From failure's perilous result against offenses’ grievous deficiency
Toward assisting dependence to trust His sufficiency.
Our heart fears the Lord reverentially and wisely by His light
With His Scriptures’ guidance along His truth’s might
From darkness’ fearful night against hell’s torturous sight
Toward illumining wisdom to shine with His delight.
Our heart fears the Lord reverentially and wisely by His zeal
With His truth’s steadfastness along His doctrines’ seal
From unbelief’s skeptical sense against doubtfulness’ deal
Toward teaching mentorship to discipleship and servanthood, Biblically real.

"In the misty corridors of the soul"
Sublime glow glitters from heavenly pole
Radiating jubilant hope-filled light
To exude warmth for blest reaching-out role.
With triumphant heart of sharing delight
Revived soul now readies toward faith flight
Exalting God for His abundant grace
Smiting gloom in response to earnest plight.
Midst spiritual zest propped by valiant brace
Grateful soul continues to run life’s race
Persistent in conquering grievous pain
Strengthened with ministerial divine rays.
Victoriously treading steward’s terrain
Vibrant soul* spreads love along cheerful gain
Praising the Lord for life, wondrously whole
Since He is the Almighty Who does reign.
*Luke 1:46 ... My soul doth magnify the Lord.

Admitting painful cause of childhood fright
I would cringe hearing … “Ghosts appear tonight
especially to the cowardly nervous…”
Such tortured me with panic so grievous.
Yet, in pretense, my heart struggled to cope
while loathing ghost stories that vanquished hope
robbing me once of bliss I yearned to claim…
Such propped me to face weakness against shame.
Nurtured by parents midst loving embrace
in home showered with mercy, truth and grace
I was shielded from attacks of ghost-blow…
Such drove me to soar toward courage-glow.
Learning that ghost-shivers result to pain
I sought help from the Lord Who gives peace-gain
since with His salvation comes victory…
Such granted me triumph from misery.
Grateful for imparted divine nature
wrought by Christ toward steadfast faith’s venture
I praise Him for eternal life’s blest zeal…
Such made me His own with Holy Ghost*’s seal.
Propelled now to serve through the Holy Ghost
I do reach-out with my best and utmost
geared by the Almighty’s compassion-hand…
Such moves me to share kindness, heaven-brand.
Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost.

In the annals of time, a tale untold,
Resides the slavery loop hole, bold.
Within the Constitution, revered and strong,
Lurks a dark verse, where justice went wrong.
Enslavement's grip, it sought to uphold,
A contradiction, a story yet untold.
A clause concealed, with chilling grace,
Deemed humans as chattel, a disgrace.
Through ink-stained words, a nation was bound,
Yet shackles of oppression knew no ground.
Emancipation's cry, it took a toll,
To break the chains of this wretched loophole.
Brave souls fought to right this grievous sin,
To mend the heart of a nation within.
Struggles endured, a long and bitter fight,
To banish the shadows, embrace what's right.
With each passing year, we strive to atone,
To dismantle the legacy that was sown.
Injustice unveiled, the scars we trace,
Reminders of a past we must erase.
Let us not forget the pain we've seen,
The battle for freedom, fierce and keen.
May justice prevail, its light ever gleam,
And heal the wounds of the slavery regime.
For in unity, we find our true worth,
To cherish the rights bestowed at birth.
And with compassion as our guiding star,
We strive to heal the wounds that still scar.
Let history guide us toward a brighter dawn,
Where equality reigns, and freedom is drawn.
In this solemn pledge, we take our stand,
To rewrite the future, hand in hand.
Good n plenti riches abound
unreachable to gentle
hermit while aboveground,
human ship of state
fore'er stranded aground
only thru death do him part will
his grievous soul get spirited airbound
chokehold sensation ceased when freedom
against debtor's prison unshackled
humongous human corporeal being all around
to little monetary largesse
arrived too late to astound
pipe dream eternally left within background
jackass kippered, milquetoast pockmarked,
Goliath scarred, voodoo battleground
visible near completely bloody lovely bones
partly denuded flesh
buried shallow belowground
scouting, scenting, scrabbling
one after another bloodhound
clamors leaps and doth bound
nosing, trumpeting, yelping...
despite snout muzzled reinforced brassbound,
no deterrent grisly bared, limp, lifeless body
sacrificed at skull and bones campground,
despite decay tell tale
hunch unearthed mound
picked over remains evince sound
“The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.” John 3:2 of the King James Bible
Miracles indeed smite woe and sorrow
Since the Almighty ignites hopeful glow
Emancipating me from grievous doubts
Surely showing triumph for tomorrow.
Having been conquered by miracles’ bouts
My heart gladly worships with praise-filled shouts
Holding on to Christ’s assurance of grace
Hoisted for divine freedom from guilt-clouts.
Thanking God for miracles midst life’s race
My faith propels me well, strongly to face
Grim realities that shatter great dream
Guarded against pangs of torturous space.
Tasting triumph due to miracles’ scream
My spirit trusts the Lord for service-beam
Watchfully reaching-out to ease pain’s blow
Sharing blessings, along provision stream.
