Premium Member What Clouds The Truth?

As the paleness of Fall and 
Winter saunters toward us
As the sun moves across the sky
And the moon goes in course by night
God puts on a show in the celestial realm
He is at the helm
And in the clouds, He speaks aloud
He speaks aloud but not by trumpet blast
But with the host of the heavenly cast
He, in the quietly spoken sounds of the wind 
Does not rescind, but coaxes us along
Guiding minds as He instructs each indiv’dl 
With the vittles prepared in the atmosphere

God is truth (John 14:6)
God is Faithful and True (Revelation 19:11)
He is absolute verity
Unaltered by the tides of time (Numbers 23:19)
The Maker of all things
The Furnisher of all things in truth
(In heaven and creation) (Psalm 19:1-6)
He loves truth (Jeremiah 10:10)
He speaks the truth in all ways at all times (Psalm 119:116)
He's the source of all truth (1 John 5:6, 20-21)
His truth sure and pertinent 
As He stretches it out then pulls back the curtain
To reveal all that is certain
My ways and thoughts are higher (Isaiah 55:9)
And I rule from My throne above the Earth
And see all its worth (Isaiah 40:22)
He doesn’t consult us for the truth 
He is the emanation (Psalm 50:12)
He is The Desire of the nations (Haggai 2:7)
“I AM WHO I AM.” (Exodus 3:14)
“I am the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6)
For you can do nothing against the truth
But for the truth" (2 Corinthians 13:8)
He Who made heaven and earth,
The sea, and all that is in them;
Who keeps truth forever (Psalm 146:6)


Premium Member The Gambler

The steely-eyed hombre stepped down from the stage that sultry afternoon.
He looked about with disdain, then swaggered to the Cripple Creek Saloon.
His hat lay low upon his brow and swung low was a pair of 44's on his hips.
He sported fancy duds and greeted a few loafers with a snarl on his lips.

Jeremiah Slade was the feller's name and gamblin' was his trade.
He sauntered up to the bar and stunned the bartend by orderin' a lemonade!
Then he strolled to a table in the back of the room with his back to the wall.
(This was his usual modus operandi just in case there was a free-fer-all!)

He announced, "Boy's, my name's Jeremiah Slade and gamblin' is my game;
Join me and ante up fer a round of poker, but, boys let's keep it tame!"
Three chumps took the bait and scurried fer Jeremiah's table to grab a chair!
He let the dudes win a game or so to assure that things were fair and square.

Now, unknown to the three suckers, Slade was a professional gyp!
The scoundrel was invited to leave umpteen towns west of the Mississip!
Slade had a few tricks up a sleeve that he soon entered into play.
Mysteriously, numerous aces appeared in his draws and were on display!

The trio got wise to his game and jammed three rods in Jeremiah's face!
He was quickly consigned to eternity fer playin' too many an ace!
Jeremiah was conveyed out of town, that no-good cunnin' knave,
And now lies at the foot of Mount Pisgah a-molderin' in his grave!

Premium Member Jeremiah Slade

He rode in to Santa Fe one summer day on a broken-down, sweaty nag.
All he owned was the clothes on his back and the Bible in his saddle bag.
He wore a suit of black, an old slouch hat, both so dusty and frayed.
He was an itinerant preacher man by the name of Jeremiah Slade.

Beneath his well-worn duds he wore a brace of pistols on his hips,
With the 'sinners' in towns he occasionally enjoyed a couple-a nips!
His District Superintendent took a very dim view of his associations,
Warnin' that it might lead him into very injudicious temptations!

He dismounted, hitched his hoss and brushed the dust from his suit,
And strolled to Clancy's Saloon, well-known as a house of ill-repute!
He sauntered up to the bar and pointed to a jug of whiskey on the shelf,
Sayin', "Bartend, hand me that bottle.  I'll pour three-fingers fer myself!"

He leaned with his back to the bar surveyin' the riotous scene before him.
The debauchery he viewed indicated reapin' souls looked mighty grim,
But he drawed his guns and hammered the butts on the bar fer attention!
"By Gawd!" he thundered, "I intend to clean up this place is my intention!"

With that the dancin', brawlin' and gamblin' came to an abrupt cease!
"Now, I want y'all to find Jesus and give each other the kiss of peace!"
Forty-two souls searched and found Him that day in Clancy's Saloon!
He praised the Lord, sayin', "That's a purty good haul and it ain't even noon!"

The new saints were shoutin' "Hallelujah!" and he roared, "Now hold on there!
I remind y'all I don't preach fer nothin' and if'n y'all would care to share,
I'll pass the hat and as Jesus said, ''Tis better to give than to receive!"
He gave some to the bartend, sayin' "Set 'em up!"  With that he took his leave!

Premium Member IN THE CYCLE OF EXISTENCE

Allow my wisdom to assert warnings along historical authenticity
Bringing the truth, “In the beginning God created…”* with perfect beauty
Championing supreme sovereign control over mankind’s creativity
Driving the need for people to fulfill their foremost directed duty…

Exposed toward Adam and Eve along their impact for eternity
Faith of mine fervently clings to the Lord midst human frailty 
Gripped by God’s grace while grieving due to greed’s gravity
Here am I heralding that there’s hope in turning from hostility…

Immune to the cycle of people’s existence marked with infirmity
Justice I yearn to behold in advocating honesty of triumphant joviality
Kindness shown to everyone, not just to pets like doggie and kitty 
Love for each other, I hail, to reign along enjoyment of pardon’s liberty… 

Mismanagement of resources midst selfishness mars the Creator’s majesty
Now, I beseech functional citizens to exercise nurture against notoriety
Opening themselves for constructive changes with readiness-opportunity
Paradigm shift toward transformation for next generation’s posterity…

Quitting irresponsibility and abuse for granted dominion with role’s quality 
Realize, recognize and resolve problems along God’s governing renewability
Sensibility with sensitivity I continue to seek from civilizations in their sobriety 
Thankful for grace of the Life-Giver Who upholds earth in His tenacity…

Understanding Earth’s status vis-à-vis inhabitants’ stature of uncertainty
Virtuous heart vows to pray for redemption, repentance and revival’s vitality 
Wishing to win against waywardness and wickedness, while watchfully witty
‘Xercising optimism along trust in the Lord for people’s grievous 'xtremity
Yearning for “O earth, hear the word of the LORD”* to become divinely yeasty
Zooming toward New Heaven and New Earth with holy zeal, spiritually zesty.   

*Genesis 1:1
**Jeremiah 22:29

Lifted Up

The Lord  lifts  us up  when things get  rough
The  Lord lifts  us up when times get  tough
The Lord lifts  us  up when  we are down
and feel we  have been trodden upon
The Lord lifts  us up the one we can  truly always rely on
The Lord lifts us up whatever  is  thrown our way
The Lord lifts us  up each and every day
The Lord  lifts us up we just  have to give  him a  call
The Lord lifts us  up from any situation at all.

Thank you  Lord for your promises of  restoration
and  that when people try to make us fall  thank  you for your promise  that you will raise 
us  up, no matter how many times they treat us like dirt you  always lift us back up, Thank 
you that  I am free once again  and that I will be raised up and restored. you carried me   through  the dark tunnel  and got me out the  other side physicaly unharmed.   Amen. 
   

2.Isaiah 49:8
[ Restoration of Israel ] This is what the LORD says: "In the time of my favor I will answer 
you, and in the day of salvation I will help you; I will keep you and will make you to be a 
covenant for the people, to restore the land and to reassign its desolate inheritances,

I am CITIZEN OF HEAVEN CREATED FOR HIS PURPOSE-
Dedicated verse for Delores Matthews-


I am that I am;
Citizen of heaven;
Created for His purpose;
I am that I am;
Citizen of heaven;
Created for His purpose;

Perhaps you were born;
 For such a time as this;
And we know that for those who love God;
 All things work together for good,
 For we are called according to His purpose:
Oh, glory He’s far more than just worth it;

Before He formed me in the womb;
He knew, He knew;
He me He knew you, 
 Before we were birth, born;
He consecrated you, consecrated me; 
Appointed us prophets to the nations;
Hallelujah;
We were born birth for such a time as this;
He call us out Elohim spoke from His lips;
Plans of the LORD stand firm forever, 
We’re purposed of His heart through all generation;

I am that I am;
Citizen of heaven;
Created for His purpose;
I am that I am;
Citizen of heaven;
Created for His purpose;

Before He formed me in the womb;
He knew, He knew;
He me He knew you, 
 Before we were birth, born;
He consecrated you, consecrated me; 
Appointed us prophets to the nations;
Hallelujah
For not of ourselves, no not I;
We know not the plans He has for us;
Plans to prosper you nor I;
And not to harm you or I;
We’re stable abreast afloat in the skies;
 Plans to give us hope and a future;
Surely and absolutely;

I am that I am;
Citizen of heaven;
Created for His purpose;
I am that I am;
Citizen of heaven;
Created for His purpose;

Premium Member God Always Does What's Best For Me

Acknowledging that God thinks and does what’s best* is vital:

Blessing me with His bounty while beautifying my soul

Caring for me along His great compassionate concern

Driving me toward the direction of His perfect plan

Enabling my empowered might with earnestness

Fortifying my faith for fruit-fulfilment faithfully

Gearing, guiding, gladdening me by His grace

Helping me well by His handling expertise

Invigorating me against weariness-pangs

Jubilant am I in my spiritual journey.

*Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

Premium Member Be Not Afraid

Doubt and Fear paralyzes action
What God wants for each of us is to be happy with him in Heaven
 He uses the world to shape us and give us qualities that will help us get there untainted by sin

 “Indeed like clay in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand . . .” (Jeremiah 18:6) 
Sometimes that means allowing us to undergo trials that cleanse and strengthen us

Welcome suffering
 Some virtues, qualities or merits can only be acquired through hardship
 Avoiding it will cause you to miss out on experiences God wants you to have
 While they may be uncomfortable
God would remove them at once if they were not good for your soul

Live in the present
Many of tomorrow’s troubles exist only in our minds
 Prove your trust in God by refusing or rejecting to think
what might happen 
Deal with what is happening
 Refuse or say no to worry 
“Can any of you worrying add a single moment to your life-span (natural life or lifetime)?” (Mathew 6:27).

Accept aid
 Don’t let fear blind you to the help God sends
 Be open to assistance from other people
 Listen to his advice that comes through Church (listen to homily)
 Spend time in prayer
Only then will you have the courage to look at suffering simply as a test you are to pass with God’s help

Premium Member An Incomplete Love Story No More

“…I have loved thee with an everlasting love:
therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.”*
With such compassion-filled assertion,
the Supreme Lover assured me His unconditional love
along His grace, mercy, forgiveness and peace
despite of who I was: tenaciously stubborn and self-willed
midst my human nature’s vanities, flaws, imperfections
even though by divine perspective, I was utterly worthless.
“How unfathomable” was my reaction
Marked by vehement refusal... 
…Making the story incomplete.  
 
“…I have loved thee with an everlasting love:
 therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.”
Again, such truth reverberated---reaching my heart
Expressed by the sovereign Source and Author of love
With His goodness, provisions and wisdom
Subduing my self-righteousness, arrogance, loftiness
Vanquishing my skepticism, doubts, apprehensions
Conquering my sinfulness, guilt, shame…
“How sacrificing” was my response... 
Moved by faith He has granted, 
I trusted Him – my Savior…  
...Making the love story complete!

*Jeremiah 31:3 The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.
