That day
I told satan to get out of this situation
Things were going all wrong
All the long
We made it through
For a person toughest situation
Praise Jesus
All went well
Now I tell.
Note:
Sometimes satan will try you in a toughest time and a situation. Just keep the Faith and push through it for the betterment. Jesus is awesome. On a day that was very important to individuals a last call, I rebuked satans plans that were against that situation. It was a close call. Overall, all turned out positive. Made it just 5-10 minutes before a close call, urgent situation needed that day by a certain time frame. My Daughter said, we will make it. We did. FAITH. She encouraged me. I was feeling overwhelmed that day.
Isaiah 54:17
No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper.
I try to do well, keep the peace, find a way.
I try to be thoughtful in all that I say.
I’m willing to leave all my interests behind
to follow the Lord, so I’m shocked now to find
that I stand here rebuked at this moment in time.
I guess it’s because the Lord had to remind
me that my ways aren’t in the least like his at all.
Thought I was defending, but I thought too small.
It’s a hard thing to understand, what it’s about,
but maybe it’s time that we figure it out -
that the purpose we’re here isn’t tied to this earth.
We all chose our mission long before birth.
If we want to be like him and walk in his ways
then we’ll have to remember, the rest of our days
that there isn’t a single thing that will be lost
when we prove ourselves faithful… and go to our cross.
Matthew 16: 21-23
I strive to place God as the be- all and end- all of life
I know He watches over me as a caring father.
When storm clouds rise high in my sky,
I look up to Him for guidance.
He gives company in my loneliness,
Gives hope, when down in the ditch of despair.
As I walk in darkness, when I falter and fall
His gentle words keep ringing in my ears
“Come all you, who are thirsty
Come to the waters”- (Isaiah-55)
Yes, I turn to the living waters
And drink deep from the wellsprings of His love.
In my sojourn on this earth, his love pilots me
When storms rage fierce and breakers rise high,
I turn to Him who once rebuked the wind,
And calmed the waves of the tumultuous sea.
With childlike trust, I give my hand to God
And ask Him to hold it tight, never letting go.
God, l know, is pleased with my trust in Him
And my resolve to love all His creation.
Let every atom in me throb with His filling love
May it spurt like torrents to form gushing streams.
I, Malchus, am not remembered for anything that I did.
Rather, I am remembered for what was done to me.
Not agreeable to many, but I was doing my job.
In so doing, I was attacked viciously by Peter
who quickly drew a sword and 'cut off my right ear'.
Peter, a disciple of Jesus, but intemperate in character.
Sure, he loved his teacher, but such defense wasn't necessary.
Fortunately, Jesus firmly rebuked Peter and 'healed my ear'.
Why, even in the name of religion, must we behave so violently?
She said
It's only me she wants
She always rebuking
The richest men
In our community
Just to be with me
She always wants my attention.
She even rebuked
Her parents
She wants to be mine forever
Steadily rebuking
Whoever her parents
Wants for her
Steadily reminding her parents about me.
She also rebuked
Her friends and siblings
Whenever they say
I'm not man enough
Just because I don't
Throw money around
She knows what's right for her
Good loving, that's what I always give her.
Can you hear my heartbeat
To the sound of little feet
Running around me meowing
Like a cat or barking
Can you hear my jilted fears
Pealed away like green pear skins
Rebuked by real and imagined sins
Flipped like a pancake drenched in syrup
Then like a cowgirl in stirrups
Ridden past green trees and tumbleweed
Until the heartbeats aren’t tumbling
Into the abyss of a denied kiss
I can hear it in my ear
Strong steady ready for what comes
Will you be the mystery mahogany inspiring
My hearts beating all odds
Humor me and sing a melody
Share and care dare to be
Red bleeding heart on a sleeve
What’s causing panic disorder?
Venezuelans flood our border
Their country we rebuked
So here they’ve regrouped
Without a legal court order
Authors Note: Actions have consequences and sanctions that punish countries South of the border have led to increasing illegal immigration. For the first time ever, Venezuelans became largest nationality for illegal border crossings in September, 2023. In an attempt to address the root cause, we're now negotiating with Hugo Chavez. That lead to a prisoner swap and might make sense in the long run.
I was a negative teen, not depressed -
My diary declared I was.
A complainer indeed, no one stopped me;
Only a sociology teacher
gave me some definitions to ponder.
I was a listener back then -
the friend not the one that needed advice
yet. But
no one heard me; I was cut off
from the world. Sheltered
is what my aunts said.
Seemed shameful, sad.
Pondered for years what it meant.
You really don’t know…
You don’t know what it means…
Then you don’t know how it fits
and then you ponder…
how do I fit?
I went to Catholic school from Kindergarten through 7th.
In 7th grade I had a teacher who told us about a séance
he was in. Who let him through the door?
That year I had a Ouiji board…what in the world
was going on THAT year! Later
I rebuked all of that and more.
I gave it up for the Lord, I adore.
All that gunk clogs up your spiritual arteries.
A steady diet of biblical truth cleans one out.
How can enough be enough
When lives are treated like garbage
Picked from the gutters
Thrown in the dump?
How can earth be at peace
When nature is disturbed
And air is defiled constantly
Yet superiors smile over it?
When a poor mother
Tries to save her child,
From the emitting of carbon
Burned by an industry close by,
She is deluded and placed low
Because superiors enjoy the advantages
Caused by the disadvantages.
Do not ask the masses to calm down
When their lives are endangered,
But you stand the chance to put an end
To this awful beginning of the end
That has placed mankind in disarray.
As they try to let it out
To fight in order to heal the world,
To restore stability,
They are rebuked by hierarchy,
‘Shhhh! Say no word’.
I
Paul warned his "son" Timothy, On Guard
In the end time, many false prophets disguised
Even as angels from heaven, will tickle ears
And many will be led astray; Jesus is "too much"
To take, one in Adelaide told me:
The Bible takes you that much, "eyes" that see
Know the apple was really a "sexual act" in Genesis 1
Brennan (Branham, yes, Anaya) tells them much more
About serpents and Adam who didn't sin
So blame Eve & Women, Jesus needs help
From prophets born in modern nations we know ...
Where does it end? Spoken Word & other "church" finds a new prophet
Who teach us how to read The Word --
As the Popes, priests, Pharisees did
Roundly rebuked in Matthew 23
How easy: heretics say, they alone can see
Jesus had an answer there too (John 9)
When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, “Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them?”
But Jesus turned and rebuked them.
Luke 9:54-55
How easily man judges,
hates, throws down the gauntlet.
Oh can’t you see - God is the merciful one.
We hang ‘em high and hang ‘em low
(Better than them, am I)
We love to be one of the mob,
pointing, mocking, laughing.
Are we teachable?
The lord stopped James and John in their tracks.
(Oh I wish he’d be condemned,
send fire down on his head.)
Oh sure…we are the truth tellers,
we imagine ourselves to be god.
We want, him or her, destroyed?
But ahem…God could destroy anyone,
anytime. His purposes are greater than ours.
I’m grateful for that. You should be too.
Oh can’t you see - God is the merciful one.
I don’t want to see what’s in your nose.
Bring it level. If God judged you today
without His help, guess where you’d be?
He says wild things like:
Love your enemies!
The good news trumps your newspaper
and news on t.v.
If your nose tilts, let your eyes see God’s
peace, mercy and grace
…a revolution of love

Words of wise men has turned evil
And the souls of trusted women has turned to devil
My own humbled spirit rebuked and chocked
And my ways chased after and blocked
Hey books of poverty and nice words of enemity
On whose hands are you lying in this city
Are the words worthy to destroy or build
If the words belong to me then im a child
Dont push those words again
Or whisper them on my ears because here is the rain
I dont belong to the world of darkness
For today i have the moon and sun for brightness
Let me out of your minds
Because you will swayed trees like winds
When i get to my world
Where would you have your pride sold
My world is different from all what you gave
The halves of calabashes you have
Those which you used to convince
See now they deceived you all even the prince
Hey today listen to me in this daylight
Im of the chosen race among the heir of the sight
And my spirit cant fight
With the race of devil sought.

serene sea settles
seething sorrow of stressed souls---
sends Christ's “peace be still*.”
*Mark 4:39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

Tigger ceaselessly zooms with zest and zeal
Triggered so well by enthusiasm-wheel
So contagious is his active delight
Moving my child toward functional delight.
Eyoor stays calm and cool in his posture
Bringing serenity in group venture
Allowing grand good balance to prevail
Such is Creator’s plan fears* can’t assail.
*Matthew 8:26 And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.

He always kept on talking.
In a loud voice, he let listeners
mark his sword of words.
With a scream, he painted
the dream’s delight and colors
in the plateau.
He ranted when the daybreak
gradually dawned.
He gladly viewed in the air
the energetic flap of nurtured
trust and answer.
Until the strong current pursued
and forcibly silenced him,
the murmur of waterfall
and the giant cascade investigated him,
the flying sharp splash shouted at him.
The fierce eyes stopped him,
the castigating claws and furious fangs
in the woods rebuked him.
Only then he uttered no sound.
Only then the deafening hush roared
like a mute thunder.
Serenity with sincerity.
Tranquility with deep
wisdom and policy.
