Psalm-Raa1

Oh Lord please tell me what Isaiah meant 

That “the wilderness and the dry land shall be glad;

the desert shall rejoice and blossom like the crocus?” 

I look out at the full moon in the morning atop an unfinished Cube Smart

Storage facility, the I-76 highway buzzes in the foreground. The rolling hills of empty tree tops

just barely hiding the myriad of man made shapes beneath

I cant stop looking at the moon, the sunrise at my back out of sight 

behind this worthless building

but painting all the clouds around the moon with a gray-pink.

I tear up thinking of a line that I could never quite get to work in a poem

Give back to Caesar this un-beating heart

And unto you oh God my soul depart. 

There's something there but its still kind of corny. 

Too forced, too rhythmic. 

I get a text from my foreman

“Sorry was on the phone coming up now.” 

I see you God in the little moments,

But they don't last very long. 

“Draw near O nations, to hear

and give attention O peoples!

Let the earth hear, and all that fills it.

For the Lord is enraged against all the nations

And furious against all their host;

He has devoted them to destruction, has given them over to slaughter. 

Their slain shall be cast out, and the stench of their corpses shall rise; 

The mountains shall flow with their blood.”

A truck passes by using its engine brakes BRAP BRAP BRAP BRAP

“Thorns shall grow over its strongholds, nettles and thistles in its fortresses

It shall be the haunt of jackals an abode for ostriches.” 

Ostriches on the highway, I’m into it. I don't really get off on the stench of corpses like Isaiah though.

Why the love of vengeance Lord? 

I’d like to think Isaiah an imperfect messenger. But I get the anger over the destruction of nature

Tell me Lord if this world will be destroyed? Will you let our selfishness destroy everything? 

It seems like its getting pretty close. 

Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done. 

Please Lord protect the Earth and let me be an instrument for You, Eternal Love; 

And to help usher in The Kingdom

Amen.


War of Mankind

For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.
2 Corinthians 10:3?-?4 NIV

The world in blindness
Boast of who has the most weapons
Total chaos, power, money and fear they seek
Ready to kill in the name of power of darkness
Leaves one to wonder in the money 
It seems one nation loves to spend on wars
How many lives could be saved
Family members all at home 
If this is God one is fighting for
Who has the power to snatch the life
Out of us all in a second needs this foolishness
But in love withholds His Majesty
That we might be broken as a whole
And seek the weapons of the unseen 
To defeat the dark forces deceiving many
Through the spirit of God to defeat our strongholds
Which keeps one captive in chains to this world
In a never ending battle of the seen outward things.
Fighting for the flesh of man while destroying
It's within ones soul which we need this fight
Through Christ to destroy the worldly man
Precious in the Lord is the death of His Saints.
For they die to this world that Christ
Might dwell and reign within 
To display the love and glory of Christ
New creation snatched from worldly destruction 
The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.
2 Corinthians 4:4?, ?16 NIV

Passion

i will speak my heart and my deepest concerns,
not allowing my heart to feel shut down anymore,
and in this openness i know many chances i'll take,
searching the Lord with all my heart, doesn't mean i won't make mistakes,
this is the ground,  we open up to see,
challenging us to love one another unconditionally,
opening my heart, flaws and all,
forgiveness and understanding, i'll sit through it all,
some may call this stubborn and naive, but make no mistake,
through God's love and mercy i'll love you anyway,
the strongholds are seperate from who we truly are,
so yes,,,you can call me a dreamer that looks past the scars,
opening up to watch God's love move, i can't sit stagnant,
even in the midst of difficulty, HIS love is my passion.

LIVING LIGHT

Though we dwell in dense matter
And move about on land
The mirrors of fear are working
Against all we can understand

Light has the power to grow
And expand territory within
So that TRUTH can be known
When sight waxes dim

Learning to breathe through pain
And stay in uncomfortable spaces
Allows the trajectory of embodiment
To occupy uninhabitable places

Our journey is not for the  weak-hearted
We are warriors sent to fight and win
Tunnel systems of terror hide in wait
Though death may take us, we rise again

We are living light radiating to pierce
Strongholds of doubt and fear
Basking in the heat of LOVE"S fire
Transmuting darkness into cheer

Sometimes

Sometimes you have to visit the past,
The strongholds that once had such a tight grasp,
All so you can finally let go,
Allow God's love to simply flow,
Sometimes you have to see where you were,
When you were there, you were in such a blur,
To truly appreciate where you are going,
Even if you get nervous and hate not knowing,

The great Divine,
Is always on time,
Never is he late,
When you allow Him to hold the weight,
You have all you need
when you let Him lead
You can make it through
Dont let anything stop you,

Appreciate the sounds of angels cheering you on in the distant breeze,
Allow them to put your mind and heart at ease,
Love waits for you with hands stretched out
Dont allow your mind to fill you with hopelessness and doubt,

Sometimes yesterday has to be viewed,
In order to make today not skewed,
Sometimes after the storm reflection must take place,
In order to find the strength to continue on in life's race,
Look how far you have come,
Instead of walking you will begin to run,
Look how beautiful it has started to taste,
When you search real deep you'll see nothing was a waste.

Even in your worst moments and memories,
Remember the One who died so you could be set free,
Even when you have long nights all alone,
What’s happening is that you’re gently being sown.

Victory

VICTORY

Grades announced,
Laurels seeks his owners,
Repelling failure,
Never to rest in the hearts of timids
But for the contrite in hearts.

Jubilating galore,
Majestic march towards triumph,
Highlighting a mark made,
Standard above others
Conceded by the brave.

In the past though times,
Rigorous exercise going on,
Forces combine together to form battalions,
With military laws at hand,
Strongholds guided against infiltration.

For liberation,
Men sacrificed their lives,
To achieve flawless victory,
Banners held high,
Flags upheld,
It was a victory galore.

overwhelm them with much stress and strife?

A Different Kind of Success

everyone wants to be successful, powerful and rich
people want to be affluent, well to do and find their niche
we all want to achieve our purpose and rise into our destiny
but we must understand there's a roadmap 
for this particular journey

this ideology has been drilled into the minds of society
but understand that success has many different forms in actuality
success is more than just receiving awards, certificates and trophies
true success may simply be staying the course
that God has set for thee

now God says do not fret 
nor worry about what others get
yes evildoers may be in positions of power and control
just remember we serve an omnipotent God
Who watches our souls

be anxious over nothing as you will come to see
that evildoers will receive their coming atrocities
trust in the Lord God as He will provide
He is your shield and will always be on side
refrain from anger and turn away from wrath
wait on the Lord God allow Him to guide your path

simply place your faith in the sovereignty of the Lord
as a different kind of success to you He will afford
trust in His might
know for you He will fight

delight in the Lord be captivated by His mercy and grace
take please in His efforts to always for you be in place
let your worship of Him break strongholds
let your praise of Him set you free
which may also have the potential to grant
others His infinite mercy

a different kind of success 
is what God has on His mind
it might not be the things you want
but what for you He has consigned

a different kind of success you need to perceive
allow God to share with you so that you may receive
His glory, His power and His indefatigable love
a different kind of success you could never have dreamt of

so trust in Him, commit to Him 
delight in Him as well
a different kind of success

Premium Member You Must Feel Him

I've seen the goodness of the Lord
and the lamb slaughtered by the sword.
And wonder what Man's future holds 
when God's commandments are ignored.

As Man's chosen pathway unfolds,
science establishes strongholds.
And Almighty God's a fable
that only the Bible upholds.

Jesus was born in a stable,
but Man hordes all that He's able.
And He has no desire to share
He's both greedy and unstable.

Many argue God isn't there,
and if He is, He's just not fair.
For they believe we're all alone,
there's no God, or He doesn't care.

You won't find God on any throne
your heart's where He'll make Himself known.
For God is love; you must feel Him,
it's through your actions that He's shown.

GOD IS

when it feels like our lives are falling apart?
that's when God is removing things
we weren't mean to carry in our hearts
God needs to break strongholds 
so that we ourselves won't 
He just needs for us to trust in His approach
by letting go of those things
that leave us feeling lost and astray
and we must not attach our identities 
to the lesson that He wants to convey
yes, there will be people we love
who will walk out of our lives
just understand that God is protecting us 
from hands too weak to help us with deal with strife 

God is building in us 
as we learn to listen through silent tears 
for that is when we will hear Him
above the noise of our fears 
life will then stop hurting
once we've stop confusing 
healing with punishment 
for in us, God is only pruning
removing dead things so that
we will flourish and grow
now ready to step into the life
that for us He has bestowed

GOD IS
