The Great Shepherd

The Great Shepherd is leading
you away from the dry and desolate
places into the path where the still
waters flow!

Comforting and protecting you
from dangers that you don’t even
see, and when you need correction
His rod will redirect you!

As you pass through the valley
of decisions, He will quicken you
and bring you into your wealthy
place!

For He is the Great Shepherd just
follow His lead!!!

You are There

You are there each time I go to sleep
And wander into the deep.
You are there to lift me up above the shadows
Bringing me into the beautiful meadows
Where I find delightful scenery.

You are there in times of sorrow
Giving my bones marrow
To stand strong in the midst of adversity
Teaching me life skills at Your University.

No, I do not understand the “How’s” and “Why’s”
But I know You are there, whether in the low
Valleys of life, or on the mountain top! You are
There for You are Jehovah Shammah.
You are present, You are there!

Touch Me

Touch me while I am asleep
And awaken me to Your truth Oh Lord
For many times I fail to acknowledge
Your presence.

In the midnight hour touch me
To meditate upon Your word
And to commune with you!

Oh the splendor of delight to
Awaken to Your touch
To be renewed as the morning
Dew upon the grass of the field.

Touch me Oh Lord continuously
That I may never forget
In You I live, move, and breathe!

Touch me that I may know You
In the power of Your might
And receive Your Resurrection Power!

As You Stand on the Bank

As you stand on the bank of your Red Sea.
AS you feel the pain of rejection ripping
You through and through.

As you feel the grief of sorrow.
As you are about to give up….
Suddenly a likeness of Jesus
Appears of Him in the garden
Of Gethsemane…as He almost
Gave up…yet He surrendered
All of Himself to His Father’s
Will, and suffered beyond all
Human suffering.

Yes then He so lovingly says
To you and to me……..
” I have overcome the world,
And so can you. ” John 16:33

As you face impossible situations,
Be comforted in this fact…Jesus
Who lives and reigns on the throne
Of your heart, is contending with
Those who are contending with you.
It is He who is carrying you safely
Through….bringing you………out
Victoriously!

As you read these words may
Renewed strength and grace
Be yours!

Each Time I Falter

Each time I falter
and miss the mark
you reach down your
hand of mercy, and
restore me to my feet.

In moments of weakness
and despair you are right
there comforting me with
your love! each time I falter.

You do the impossible
reminding me that your
grace is sufficient for me
and with your strength
you give me power to endure.

You are really my all in all!
It is so reassuring to know that
you are with me each time I falter!!

Poem – In the Midst

IN THE MIDST

In the midst of my pain
Do not allow my living be in vain.
For I must not kick and shove
I must be harmless as a dove.
Yet I need Your wisdom from above
For the storms are raging and the waters
Threaten to overtake me…the dark
Clouds are gathering…but in the midst
Of it all I see a glimmer of light..yes!
In the midst of the angry billows, the light
Is getting even brighter.

In the midst.. I see you Oh Lord the Lover
Of my soul, who in the midst brings peace
To my soul. Calming all my fears in the midst!
You bring me joy in the midst of my pain.
For in the midst of my sorrow You have made
Me to dance before You..and Oh the joy
That overflows my soul in the midst of this
Wealthy place you have brought me into!

The enemy is all around me
Pursuing me on every side,
But in Your Word I will abide.
For I am really in hot pursuit
After You Oh Lord and as fighting
Ensues I run in hot pursuit to
the shelter of Your Wings
Of protection!

All night upon my bed communing
With You and just before the dawn
Rising to seek for You….but many
Times You elude me!
Searching for You and in hot pursuit
Still not able to find You.

With awe and adoration filled with
Delight, I will continue in hot pursuit
Until I am translated in Your Holy
Presence!
For it is Your Face I seek in hot pursuit
Of You Oh Lord!

Empowered to Serve

Empowered to serve,
With humility and Grace.
Elegantly standing completely,
Adorned in the Father’s Armor.

No foe can disarm,
Nor conqueror the one,
Empowered to serve.
For the gates of hell,
Shall not prevail!

Empowered to serve,
Helping the wounded,
And the ones who have,
Lost their way.

Empowered to serve,
Leading each one who,
Will heed the Master’s Call,
To feast at the Table already
Prepared!

It is an Honor to be empowered,
To serve at the Master’s beck,
And Call!

Empowered to Serve!

Your Hand

YOUR HAND

As I lay upon my bed,
through my window,
in awe and in complete,
astonishment I see Your
Hand extended to me!

Staring in wonder and
in amazement! You spoke
these words to me,
“See I have you in My Hand
and no one can harm you“

Oh how reassuring to be held,
in Your Hand! for there is no
touch like Your Touch! No other,
hand can hold me the way you do!

Then Your word reminds me that,
whom You have in Your Hand no
one can remove! Keep me then,
forever in Your Hand Oh Lord!
For Your Right Hand has gotten
for me the victory in every area,
of my life! In Your Hand is where
I want to always be!

There is a Place

There is a place of quiet rest, a place where
you can have peace
where all its beauty is yet to be seen.
A place of refuge for the oppressed, a place
where the Savior makes intercessions for
all of your needs, and God your Father will provide.

A place where you are undisturbed – a place to enjoy
pleasure beyond measure.
A place you seldom want to leave, but He very gently
says “my child you must leave now“, Having the reassurance
that you have the freedom to return as often as you wish.

A hungering and a thirsting is welling up from within that food
and water cannot satisfy.
For it is His presence that satisfies, the hungering thirsty soul.
Yes the Bread of Life satisfies the hungry soul, and with the prompting
of the Holy Spirit you are now praying even more persistently
and consistently.

There is a place when you are battered and torn, when you enter
via the stairway of prayer, there you find healing for each wound
and joy beyond what words can describe.

Oh the richness of His Love and the bliss of His warm embrace.
Everything that hinders is banished in His presence
Purity and truth is revealed in this place, and oh the serenity
of the fountain of living waters flowing, washing you over and over again.
Rejuvenating your body soul and spirit giving to you the radiance of the Lord.

Yes there are many places, but this a specific place it is called
the secret place.
This is the place of intimacy and love beyond measure!!
The place of prayer, make your appointment today and experience
joy and pleasure beyond measure!!!
Meet Him at the place, He is waiting for you!!!!

Peace and Contentment

I feel your abundant love
Flowing to me like the wings of a dove
I hear the sweet sounds of the river,
And feel it’s waters bathing my parched
And thirsty soul. Rejuvenating my body
mind and spirit!

What peace and contentment I find
Every moment I am with you!
Such beauty and comfort surrounds
You…oh what love you bestow
upon me and the awe of your divine
Presence! You are all I need for
Everything is in You Oh Lord!

You are Peace and Contentment!

I Will War for You

I will war for you when you are weak
and can’t go on.
Giving to you renewed strength.

I will war for you when people
are slandering you, with words
and assassinating your character
I will war for you, that you will
not get stuck in the mud.

I will war for you maintaining your integrity
for you were born to win, to soar above
the storms of life.
Yes I will carry your pain, humiliation
and all of your shame.
I will war so that you will live above sin.

I will war for you to continue to display
My love, embracing each hurting soul
whose path you cross, in spite
of the false accusers.

I will war for you, fighting your battles
giving to you the victories, and ushering
you into My presence where you will find
joy beyond measure.

I will war for you, you are my Choice Vessel
whom I have chosen, to display my love
to a hurting world filled with pain.
I will war for you, I love you so much
that I sacrificed My only Son Jesus Christ
to die in your place
so that you can live daily abundantly
free from the ravages of sin.

Always remember Jehovah Gibbor will arise
to war for you, through Jesus Christ
your Intercessor, your High Priest.
The Lamb who died for you.

Signed: Your Abba Father who loves you
unconditionally!!

Do you need the supernatural strength that only God can give?

If you are a believer in Jesus Christ, God has given you His Holy Spirit to help you live life according to His perfect plan. Why not pray this simple prayer and by faith invite Him to fill you with His Spirit:

Dear Father, I need You. I acknowledge that I have sinned against You by directing my own life. I thank You that You have forgiven my sins through Christ’s death on the cross for me. I now invite Christ to again take His place on the throne of my life. Fill me with the Holy Spirit as You commanded me to be filled, and as You promised in Your Word that You would do if I asked in faith. I pray this in the name of Jesus. As an expression of my faith, I thank You for directing my life and for filling me with the Holy Spirit. Amen

Life’s Painful Experiences

A poem for those going through hard times.

Life’s painful experiences are really teachers
for your learning, to bring you to the realization that,
discipline and integrity are the order of the day.

What a price you pay for every indiscretion.
There is a price to pay for every careless mistake
Yes, the pain seems greater than you can bear.
Yet the comfort of the word rings out from
Proverbs 3:5&6 ” Trust in the Lord with
all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own under-
standing.’ In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he
shall direct thy path“

You now realize the folly of putting your trust in people
and in things.
O the folly of being careless and trusting in your own
intellect.
With much regret and the wish that you could go back
and undo what has already been done!
Despair and depression now surrounds you,
hope begins to flee away.

At a moment’s glance, the warm and welcoming
presence of your Abba Father surrounds you,
bringing comfort and strength to you.
Enlightening you with the understanding
that every painful experience, every
disappointment are really tools to sharpen
and refine you.
To bring you to your rightful place in the Kingdom
of God.

Your most painful experience, if you continue
to endure will bring you to the place
of your greatest triumph.
These experiences will bring you to your place
of destiny.

May God, your Abba Father impart to you endurance
to hold on in all that you are going through,
you will make it through Life’s Painful Experiences.

To The Lamb of God

NOTE: The battle rages on every side and it may feel like you are going through some deep dark waters. The very foundation you are standing on is being shaken. Yet you are victorious and will emerge triumphant, being made whole because of the finished work done at the Cross of Calvary. May this poem bring
comfort and inspiration, as you go through these most difficult and trying times!

TO THE LAMB OF GOD

To love and not be loved
To be despised and rejected
By your very own.

To speak truth,
And still be called a liar.

To suffer pain and humiliation
To be faithful in spite of it all.

To be condemned to die
Without any evidence of doing
Anything wrong.

To be hung on a tree,
And stripped of everything
Except God the Father’s Love.

Yes, Jesus Christ the Lamb of God
Willingly gave up His life so that you and I
Can be free to live an abundant life,
Experiencing God’s Love in the midst
Of your circumstances.

Glory, Honor, and Praise to The Lamb Of God!

One Act of Love

Published February 16, 2020

One Act of Love

ONE ACT OF LOVE

One act of love,
A kind word spoken
Brings hope to the wounded
Broken spirit,
Starved of love and affection,
And thought that love was
Only a dream.

One act of love,
A kind word spoken
Yes an act of forgiveness
Can change the course of one’s life!
Love so powerful yet so gentle
Reaching the one who knows only pain
And sorrow, rejuvenating, restoring
The heart to love again in spite of.
To love and appreciate the sunshine,
And the lilies that grow in the valleys.
To enjoy the fresh air and to sing
The sweet refrain and really believe!

One act of love,
A kind word spoken
Brings hope to the wounded
Broken spirit!
This act of love comes directly
From Abba Father’s heart of love
Reaching you and me,
For we really need each other!

Try it…..it really works….
One act of love!
