DIE, CRY OR WIN

We will all die, we will all cry, we will all win if we conquer sin. 
Sin can come in many forms, it can lead us to places that make us feel bad and sad, it can take hold of all of our life, and make us live in a negative life. 
We can win and repent, we can choose to live a life that wins with no sin. 
We will all fall, like Jesus did, but we can all choose to get up and continue on. 
Life will lead us to many places, we may suffer, we may have all we need, we may just be getting tested to see if we are truly good or bad. 
May we all keep going, never give up, forgive, love and always choose life.
For God told us of the struggles we will have, the choices between good and bad. 
Lifting prayers to God, today and always.

Premium Member Secrets Of The Soul

In the mystical land
Where Orchids dream...
The secrets of the soul lay bare.
Take hold of my hand
And I'll lead you to the stream
To see your souls secrets reflected there.

The water sighs
"I am the asylum of your ache"
The mists whisper to soothe your pain.
The secrets never lie
Hence they hide for ones own sake
As part of ones growth they must remain.

As you stare in to that stream
In the land where Orchids dream
You feel alive in your secret desires.
In the asylum of your ache
You recall every mistake
Wishing such memories would expire.

You feel trapped in your pulse
Restricted and contained
With a longing to break free.
Your efforts convulse
And you feel detained
In a lonesome melancholy.

We are verses in the Ash
When our chips we cash,
But the end is not in sight.
The choices we make now
Are the pathway to how
Our secret souls can bring delight.

Premium Member General strike '

Negate the real suffering..Don't go to wars
Just stand together, and shut a few doors
Be ladies and gentlemen, time to show the
Blood lusting elites.? We are versatile and
Erstwhile..And we can think on our feet
Shake their foundations, while making a brew.' It can be ha,ha to their antic's let them panic..Take hold of your future thats
What you'll do.'


GROWN

I'm grown, widely woke 
I leveled up 
Improved my mental balance 
The things that breaks me
Now strengthen me
Where they see chaos
I see opportunities 
My mind is my weapon.

I'm grown, strong and bold 
My future I must take hold of 
No reason will let me fold
Dedicated to my goals
Always feeling at home
Even when 
I am away from home
Just to get the goals
I dig deep just like coals.


I'm grown, purpose driven 
I don't fit in
Steadily doing things 
Beyond the society's imagination 
I do things with intentions 
Not for attention 
Moving in the right direction 
Because I'm addicted to succeeding.

Reading a bedtime story
     to my great-grand child

Now and then the gods look out for you,
At least that’s what wise ones say.
Vanity, they also say, is Narcissus way,
Indeed, he my take pity and let you look 
     into his mirror and see
Gallivats and scallywags with chests of gold, 
Avast! They will take hold of you,
Trade you for safe passage through
Inner secret waterways,
Or trade for jewels and golden pearls~
Now close your eyes and go to sleep,
      the rest of your story will have to keep.

BE CONSCIOUS

Your decision or choice 
Becomes your prescription 
A subscription to healing 
or pains
So don't be desperate 
While taking or making life decisions.


A cure for one, an illness for another 
What replenish one, might perish another 
One man's food, another man's poison
One man loses, another man gains
Some fall while some rise
Eat what you have on your plate 
With smile on your face, be grateful 
Stop looking at other's plate, a price was paid for it.


When you start to impress society 
Instead of the Almighty 
You start living in insanity 
It'll make you fomo, then momo fomo
Life is yolo, you gotta go solo 
So you can jomo, take hold of your mojo.


Premium Member The Thief Called Time

Time doesn’t care if you beg or you pray..
It slices the hours and steals them away.
No bargain, no mercy, no pause in the chase..
It carves out your future, erases your place.

Each second you squander is gone with a grin..
A thief with no conscience, no loss, no sin.
It won’t write apologies, won’t grant reprieve..
It takes what it’s owed when you dare to believe.

Stop whining of chances you swear will arrive..
The clock only honours the ones who survive.
Stop mapping a someday that never comes true..
The moment is dying, it’s calling for you.

Time doesn’t wait and it doesn’t forgive..
It’s now or it’s nothing, decide how you’ll live.
It circles, it waits, it will cut you in two..
Take hold of your moment, or it will take you.

Depression

It starts again
It's hard to breath
Lord, I have so many unmet needs
Please help me stand 
I don't want to fall
You are God, in control of it all
This empty perception
Leads me into deception
This void in my heart
Breaks me apart
I can't move
I can barely speak
It's your love i desperately seek
The road has been long
And the journeys been hard
I'm finally letting down all of my guards
Take hold of my life
For I can't take much more
Help me persevere
What I was made for
In this silence I feel you near
You are the one who demolishes my fear
In this silence I feel you near
You are the treasure I now hold dear.

JUne 12th

your love is making me whole

Your love is making me whole

It's hard to be awake when everyone you know is asleep
Mindless herds of sheep, walking into the deep
It's hard to continue to stand
When I have fallen into quicksand

I'm in a foreign land
Please take hold of my hand
It's hard to comprehend
When there is so much I don't understand
I need you to help me stand
Reassure me the end is grand

The lies are being exposed
The waters have found this rose
The questions have been silenced
The storms invoked a holy violence
Inside this weary soul
Your love is making me whole
Your love is making me whole
Inside this weary soul.

It's hard to speak the truth
When I've been suffocating since my youth
It's hard to write These words
When the tests have been absurd
It's hard to launch out into the night
When the fight is part of my plight
It's time to recover my glory
No longer in the same old story

The lies are being exposed
The waters have found this rose
The questions have been silenced
The storms invoked a holy violence
Inside this weary soul
Your love is making me whole
Your love is making me whole.

No More

No More
By Adam Becker

Weary they grow when day turns to night.
Their Dreams they have died which once they took flight.
They have toiled and labored yet brought to shame.
They are many yet have no name.

Their sorrows flow like a river with no end.
They lost their hope thine only friend. 
The sky, it remains, the sun still shines.
Gives light to their tombs, their fallen shrines.

An army surrounds them, their mind at war.
They will be conquered; they strive no more.
The fields are marked where the dead they lay.
They have cried out for mercy, no longer they pray.

What have we here now? What do we find?
Life can be cruel, so cold and unkind.
But life can be resurrected, the dead come to life.
To shake off the ashes, to brush off the strife.

Look to the light and grab hold of hope.
Arise from your slumber, take hold of the rope.
Dreams can live again where once they were dead.
Look to the heavens, raise up your head.

You are greater than broken, greater than despair. 
You still have a future, and your heart will repair. 
When life tries to break you, let out a great cry.
No more will life conquer, no more will I die!

Premium Member Satan Never Wins

I am stronger than you can ever be.
Satan will not get to take hold of me. 
I stand in the light when you try to hide in the darkness.
I see your plan before you even know what I harness. 
Your attempts to beat me down
Are not stronger than the strength He sends down.
The spirit is in my heart,
Jesus bore my scars,
God armors me. 
He knows you will always try but you misunderstand,
All I must do is call out His name
And you will only be able to bend your knee
And you will flee from my mind by His hand.
For the Father has already drawn the line in the sand.
I stand on the rock that is my God
And you, Satan, will take heed,
You will be gone.

In the Arms of God

In the arms of God I am safe and secure. No more do I feel insecure. Because he Knew me before I became me.
He knew me before he formed me. In the
arms of the almighty creator of all things
There is nothing to worry about because
He tells me not to be anxious for nothing and do Not let my heart be troubled.
Although trouble exists all around today’s society,
I shall not be afraid because God and me are a majority. For his arms are like a full suit of amour I take him like Medicine and wear his words wherever I go.
As I walk through the valley of the shadows of modern Day society, in the arms of God I remain steadfast as the Enemy seeks to take hold of me.
But God’s Grace is sufficient; by faith we walk together side by side everything the devil says is a lie he seeks to Destroy from inside. But God got me in his arms.
As I walk by faith not by sight.
His protection is everlasting day to day night to night.

Stand

Stand when you don't understand,
Take hold of the master's hand.
Stand when the season feels dry,
And you don't know why.
Stand when you have doubts
And inside you want to scream and shout.
Stand when the waves crash ashore,
And you feel like you can't take much more.
Stand when you have so much to say,
But it leads to you feeling dismayed.
Stand! Just stand
Take hold of the master's hand
For in due season
You will see his majestic plan
Stand!

Premium Member DANGLING

I am out now dangling
But you leave me hanging
Holding on to nothing
Wishing to hold on to you
Wanting and awaiting 
Your touch once more
Your absence has been 
Too long for my taking
I am out now
It is me I would
Like to give to you
Not just some small fragment
Of my being essential only to the
Level of your selfish indulges
I am out now
Take hold of me and penetrate my mind
Subdue my body with the raptures 
Of yesterday's forgotten dreams
Persuade me with the sweet nothings
Caress me with empty promises
You dare to whisper in my ear
Lift my soul with the truth of
Your lies that you want me to believe
As you knew it to be
When we became as one
Give to me all of you
If just for one more night
And if perchance
We shall meet in the sun
Let only our smile tell

MESSAGES BEYOND THE VEIL JUNE 28 2024



  
Dear Father

As I slip my heart softly into your broken body I take hold of my soul.  Pressing it securely against the presence of your cedar cross. Putting all my faith in your Sacred pierced hands I stand in awe of you and all you sacrificed for me.
All I ask of you is that you place your Holy Will in me. That through you and in you, I may be released from all afflictions both mental and physical. Honoring you in me I can finally settle into that long awaited peace. Journeying with you, to that long awaited place we often elude to as heaven.

Dear Daughter

You have lit the path of communion in me and clothed me with your prayers of love and Union- Grace. It is here that I offer you the linen cloth of my great love.  Live abundantly in me as I live abundantly in you.
In the presence of my Spirit you have journeyed forth. Bearing on forgiveness and compassion, you have harvested my Blessed Crops and yielded good wheat. I love you daughter for you are my heart and I am yours. Forever and until the end of time.
