TO DUE TIME AND SEASON
(APROPOS LESSONS FROM ODYSSEUS)
In deep winter womb of mind
the heart yet glows
with fervent warmth
of hope un-died;
hope un-denied—
in due season to come,
faith firmly fitted for the testing.
Though life’s winding stairway
seem to veil much—
we are children of the sun—
under which all revelations
are reflected yesterday, today
and tomorrow’s tomorrows:
come let us continue to plow the way.
Let us rise and continue to sow pregnant seeds
in the fertile rows the struggle has bumped
and folded on the face of mother earth;
let us continue to mulch the seedlings
of our visions in the fields of our dreams:
that we may yet reap ripening fruits
of our promised emancipation.
When the harvest is plentiful
so equally must be the reapers
that our plow sheds not be abandoned
burdens of emptiness ghost dreams left;
nor like crack shells that once housed eggs
that life left stuck in the mud of fear; rather
let us walk the footsteps dried in fear’s mud.
Let us not to be the children of Sisyphus;
for rocks, like their statues, can’t grow;
we are the ebony children of the tree of life—
destined not to wander the proverbial desert
but to fly to mountain top as on phoenix wings
and swooping down in due season into the valley:
our mighty talons grasping evil monster of injustice.
Indeed, no lie can live forever—
the cold winter blast of injustice
shall become as ice in the presence
of the rising sun coming like Joshua
to the walls of Jericho—melting the in
leaving justice flowing like a mighty river
cascading over into the sea of redemption.
so let us not wallow in the weakness of despair;
and be not in distress, for in due time
we shall be delivered…from lying lips and deceitful
tongues…as if by two-headed arrows
balancing new scales of justice; the all seeing eye
watching from up on high and in due season, surely
spring and hope shall usher in freedom, peace and love.
March 17 Faith in God Bible Meditations Based on Joshua 23-24
Key Verse – Joshua 23:3 And ye have seen all that the LORD your God hath done unto all these nations because of you; for the LORD your God is he that hath fought for you.
FAITH IN GOD WHO FIGHTS FOR US
God fights for us along our sacrifice of thanksgiving
Which we can offer by faith from the blessings we are receiving
Because of His love that constrains our earnest cleaving
Overcoming our afflictions with His healing and relieving.
God fights for us along our prayer of humility
Which we can pour by faith out from our soul’s sincerity
Because of His grace that aids our grievous infirmity
Overcoming our doubts with His promise for our petition’s intensity.
God fights for us along our heart of rejoicing
Which we can declare by faith against pride’s enforcing
Because of His power that strengthens us in our patient racing
Overcoming our arrogance while our needs He is sufficing.
God fights for us along our testimony of righteous desire
Which we can pursue by faith through His revival-fire
Because of His forgiveness that lifts us up from sinfulness-mire
Overcoming our guilt with His mercy that does not expire.
God fights for us along our nearness on the altar of consecration
Which we can fulfill by faith upon His instruction
Because of His Word that increases our devotion
Overcoming our unbelief with His wise direction.
God fights for us along our vision of victory
Which we can behold by faith through His heavenly glory
Because of His truth that drives us to His ministry’s territory
Overcoming our fear with His courage against overwhelming worry.
God fights for us along our dedication of performance-commitment
Which we can practice by faith in our great commission involvement
Because of His authority that leads us for His kingdom advancement
Overcoming our problems with His assured accomplishment.

the Lord gives us a shield of faith
he protects us at all costs
he picks us up when all else seems lost
he sheilds us from the sun rays
and from the the perils in our days
he is our deliverer he makes us strong
raises us up when we have been trodden on
when you feel you under attack hold your shield
high
for the greatest protection coems from God on high
the enemies bullets are like rubber and just bounce off and can not touch a single hair on
our head
he may fire them bulets at us but they will just bounce off instead. Amen
PROMISES FROM GOD:
Joshua 23:10 . . . The Lord your God fights for you, just as he has promised.
God will help fight your enemies.
1 Samuel 2:9 . . . He will protect his godly ones.
God protects his people.
Job 5:19 . . . He will rescue you again and again so that no evil can touch you.
God protects his people.
Psalm 9:9 . . . The Lord is a shelter for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.
Psalm 91:11 . . . He orders his angels to protect you wherever you go.
God’s angels watch over us.
Psalm 121:8 . . . The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever.
God watches over us.
2 Thessalonians 3:3 . . . The Lord is faithful; he will make you strong and guard you from the
evil one.
God promises to protect and keep safe those who love him. But the ultimate fulfillment of
this promise is in the spiritual protection of God’s loving grace rather than physical
protection. Like Daniel’s friends, we must commit ourselves to obeying God no matter what
happens to our earthly body.
Psalm 17:6-15 . . . Guard me as the apple of your eye . . . When I awake, I will be fully
satisfied, for I will see you face to face.

Spies, scout out the Promised Land.
Let our eyes see what God has planned.
Never mind what He's already done,
Can we trust the powerful One?
When we saw the Anakites there,
The terror was too much to bear.
More numerous and taller,
Our confidence grew smaller.
Do not be terrified of them!
You are not being led by whim.
He says, "I'll go ahead of you.
Heaven's armies come with Me, too."
But we gave the bad report,
Advising the people to abort.
Their courage was drained away,
"The Lord has made us their prey!"
Joshua and Caleb stood firm,
Believing the Lord would confirm,
Urging us toward conquest,
Believing it was no contest.
But the people would not go up,
Angering the Lord with their dustup,
Saying, "The Lord must hate us."
Their actions were treasonous.
Why this betrayal of trust,
Leading to the Lord's disgust?
Trust lessons were never learned.
Stubborn hearts can only spurn.
Where do we look for defeat?
Surely not at the Lord's feet!
Look only in your own heart,
For the whole heart must take part.
The Lord is never thwarted,
Intimidated, or extorted.
Unbelief forfeits His blessing,
And keeps us from possessing.
Keep the Lord ahead of you,
Do not turn back from what is true,
Joshua and Caleb, the only two,
Whose conquering faith grew.
We tried to force a do-over,
Without God just a pushover.
He told us, “Do not attack.”
Our enemy hurled us back.
Wilderness wandering backslidden,
But He’ll bring back our children,
Back to Kadesh they must go,
With conquering faith in tow.
I am lost and I really never found myself.
I was existing in my life,
With a monster.
I was having nightmares at night and,
Having to relive them every day.
I was under her control, a prisoner,
In my house by this monster whom I call mom.
The one person we are all told to trust,
But not when they chase you with a knife.
I knew she would kill me if I stayed,
So I left and since that day I,
Have no longer called her mom.
Joining the Army meant,
Freedom and independence away from her.
This means everyone in my life,
Finally had my back.
I trusted them and,
They trusted me,
Something I never had with her.
Then the phone call everyone dreads,
And yet no one wants to hear.
I laid my father to rest,
Realizing this monster and my sister killed him.
Monsters are monsters they can’t hide,
But there has to be consequences.
Consequences are the end result for the,
Ramifications of the horror,
That they bestowed on our family.
I have made my peace.
There is nothing I could have done to stop this.
As I look and see the TV a monster and,
My sister chained like animals going into the Court House.
Finally, consequences.
My truth will indeed set me free,
As the chains fall from my wrists,
I hear the jury say ‘GUILTY’.
RIP Joshua Hudnall

Liver Failure
The TV show ‘Evil Lives here’ on ID channel
Episode called ‘ Let her rot’
When they did the autopsy they had evidence that the father was poisoned .
In my opinion I feel the Liver failure was due to the many beatings by his mother.
Be strong in the Almighty Father against pride’s demand
Stay conscious in forsaking haughtiness and its selfishness-brand
Let God hide you with His meekness’ hand
Since He’s already humbled you along salvation’s stand.
Be strong* in the Almighty Creator against worldliness
Stay committed in giving up destructive earthly business
Let God grip you with His virtue’s holiness
Since He’s already imputed unto you separation’s righteousness.
Be strong in the Almighty Lord against disobedience-emergence
Stay converted in turning from rebelliousness-insurgence
Let God move you with His might’s resurgence
Since He’s already empowered you toward submission’s diligence.
*Joshua 1:9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

Women are a treasure, its true the whole world through' made to Gods good
pattern, He imbued them as lifegivers too with the proclivity to nurture,. With emotions so; raw and rife.' At times Headstrong then seeming helpless' intuitive and versatile, i have seen them come smiling through so much strife.' Flawed
Man as i am, i often read them wrong.' Encouragers, provocatures, I find on the
Whole describing them ad-finitum now a job hard and long.' To enumerate all their qualitys, yet also irs such a great blast.' As they are wearers of high fashion, yet don overalls on farms..Some embraced tbe atoll bikini causing almost; world atomic
Alarms.! Some are reserved and
academic cooks and bakers too' seamstresses and
Florists the doctor who cares, to do.? I beleive they are as
A social glue, holding many of lifes facets
true' also homemakers did i forget? They are prominent at protests'
I am trying to be expansive here yet...Maybe its the best i'll
Get.? There is so much they have accomplished
' they're not just cookie cutouts of men ' they hold their
Own inalianable validation. Its been the same since
Way back when.' Just as Rahab lowered the spies
Down, then scarlet cords that Joshua could see' she was
More than just a professional' she had true compassion and
Just maybe.? The need to beleive.? Also the ancestor of Jesus
I'll have to leave it there, a conundrum to the self-righteousness
The world has in oodles.' And it seems
more to spare' a place that takes great pains in promoting
( certain labels? And how to be') in such the
best. Its a sort of feast? A cornucopia
of odditys
That advances humanity to a stage.. Yet
not for the
Very best, there is still war and death and pestilence
Famine fear and doubt, mis-engineered social experiments
And much it seems? to ' hate on and
about ' have i read of this someplace other?
In the past, somewhere before? My mind observes
Lines of ancient scrioture..While in my mouth there
Is a real musty taste for sure.)
???•?SAVE HIM FROM DELILAH'S DELIVERANCE?•???
Who is being delivered here?
Who is the one that needs the deliverance?
Is it the deliverer or the "deliveree"
who seductively came with her delivery?
Son-of-man tries to cast Satan out of her.
But the deliverer's hidden Satan tries hard,
not just to make its presence known
but also to get out of son-of-man's trousers.
Oh no! What a protruding Satanic Cucumber!!
What is going on here? I wonder!
He commands Satan to come out,
but his "third leg" insists on coming out.
Son-of-man, be careful what you ask for!
Truth is, man's got the anointing, no cap!
But certainly not the man between his tighs.
They are two different species or entities
What does dirty Delilah come for?
Deliverance! Deliverance!! Deliverance!!!
But the deliverance isn't 'deliverancing' ooo
In this deliverance, it seems the deliverer needs a deliverance.
The man in-between his legs has his own mind,
you can't control him if the mind can't be controlled,
he doesn't get angry if you don't welcome trouble.
But if you allow the temptation, sorry...
the world will hear the whole story:
"How has the mighty mighty fallen."
Who's gonna save him from Delilah's deliverance?
Seem pastor has posthumously been possessed
by the possessions of a possessed poisoned princess.
Though they say: a princess oozes glamour & grace,
Daisy Delilah deals dirty in her dangerous dress.
Now, who will deliver this deliverer from deadly Delilah?

The horror has continued unabated, the killing of innocent mortals in our clime, and the attendant reprisals that follow has refused to stop. The scary and slippery road we took to get here I do not understand. I never remember when we embarked on this journey until we got to where we are now. Who took us through this path, this path of damnation? No one is taking responsibility.
Known gunmen on uniform are killing extrajudicially. They torture without any recourse for reason, no recourse for discourse. Yea, uniform men kill those they are meant to protect with reckless abandon. Now the masses are on rampage. Unknown gunmen have taken over the scene to avenge the death of their loved ones. Now more innocent people are victimized. The question still remains, who is going to bell the cat?
The little children are crying, children whose parents were killed by known and unknown gunmen are crying. Those whose parents were killed by uniform men extrajudicially are crying, and those whose theirs were killed on the reprisals are crying louder. Now the little children are orphaned, no father to play with, no father to pay their school fees. They are crying because they have no one to call Dad. The children have been made vulnerable. What about the women rendered widows overnight? Women and children are the victims.
I'm beginning to feel guilty, guilty of the crime I did not commit. Maybe I should have stopped the killings or at least do something to save the children from losing their parents. Where is our conscience? Where is our morals? Where is our compassion? What about our faith, or have we lost trust in God?
I, Orochi Chikaodiri Orochi Joshua am asking for peace. WE WANT PEACE IN OUR LAND.
Zooming to my room in a flash
...oblivious of sweet reprimands
my insistent dear guest
then whirled with quest fervor…
now triumphs over treasure found:
story* book** stuck in his wheel chair.
*Our special child loves Bible stories.
**Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
