Knowing About The End

All Christians will be gathered together, to be with The Lord forever,
So in this Hope Christians find, encouragement and peace of mind;
Through all history believers endured, through the hope in The Lord,
So, we are not shaken or alarmed, for in God’s Truth, we are armed.

We should never be deceived, trusting in The Word, we’ve believed,
The end times are revealed to us, through The Spirit of Christ Jesus,
Thus as nation rises against nation, we will trust in God’s Revelation,
God’s Word that will never pass away, is relevant to all this very day.

There shall be a falling away first, as the times wax worse and worse,
As many shall abandon God’s Truth, setting up God’s Final Reproof,
Christ, shall then rapture His Church, then times shall get even worse,
As the Holy Spirit is taken from earth, in the rapture of God’s Church.

Then all the world will see tribulation, as the Lord judges every nation,
As the wicked one of lawlessness, starts to reign in unrighteousness,
Then the second coming of Christ, in the middle of Satan’s evil strife,
As the world shall see Christ come, to totally destroy the lawless one.

Christ shall reign one thousand years, quelling all darkness and fears,
Then, that Eternal State we’ll enter in; a time free of darkness and sin;
This is why believers, dear friend, have total peace regarding the end,
As it will be the start of Eternal Life, for all men found in Jesus Christ.

Courageous Obedience

Because we follow “I AM’ today, we can courageously and humbly obey,
As The Lord God works through us, in Christ’s faithfulness, we can trust,
God will provide us grace and power, through every day and every hour,
As He helps us, at any time and place, through His power and His grace.

There’s nothing The Lord cannot do, this, as He guides both me and you,
All we need to do is follow God’s lead, as Christ takes care of every need,
We cannot do much on our own, but, through the power of God’s Throne,
Through any trial that we should face, The Lord supplies sufficient Grace.

We should remember and understand, we can trust God’s Almighty hand,
As The Lord God guides us, in this life, through The Spirit of Jesus Christ,
Even through the most difficult time, we should fully trust in God’s Design,
In all circumstances, great or small, The Lord above is in complete control.

Through the lives of both me and you, miracles today our Lord still can do,
Unexplainable things that alter our way, as The Lord works within our day,
This, as God shows those among us, the power and ways of Christ Jesus,
As God reaches out to every man, guiding other souls to His ultimate plan.

That one plan being God’s Salvation, His redeeming plan, for every nation,
So friend, all our fears and our pride, when following God, must be denied,
That in us God will live and preach, to all those souls God desires to reach,
This, as we live to share God’s Word, until God’s Salvation, all have heard.

Humble Obedience

The Word of God can humble men, The Truths from the Great I AM,
When God’s Word we humbly heed, the Great I Am meets our need;
Also, if God’s Law is our pleasure, we, as a people are His treasure,
Committed to the God of Israel; God’s special people to do His will.

Through our humble obedience, we show to God our true reverence,
As we seek to instill in our family, The Law from the God of Eternity,
The Law received on Mount Sinai, that’s relevant today for you and I,
Eternal Truth, that’s part of our life, following The Lord, Jesus Christ.

The very first point in God’s Law; The Lord is The Only God over all,
Then no images we are to make, for with them God we may forsake,
Then from God simple and plain, His Name is not to be used in vain,
These Laws must not be ignored, as we determine to serve The Lord.

Today for God, we are set apart, as God’s purpose we are to impart,
Unto all the nations of the world, as God’s Truth, we faithfully herald,
While in our hearts God does install, His Commandants and His Law,
God’s Law through His Revelation; relevant this day, for every nation.

What Israel, for The Lord, was to be, God’s Holy nation for all to see,
Is what The Church must be today, to direct men to God’s Only Way,
The Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, Who was God’s Perfect Sacrifice,
The God of Israel’s Only Salvation, provided for men of every nation.

Seed By Seed

One seed at a time in the heart, for Truth God shall impart,
Seed by seed sown in time, changes hearts by His design,
Still convicting the heart of one, avoiding God’s Only Son,
The One they say they know, yet old seed has yet to grow.

For as seed grows my friend, former ways draw to an end,
As conviction moves a heart, from those ways you depart,
For some seed may be found, not in soil, but hard ground,
With the growth very small, or there’s been no growth at all.

Some may only sow seed, for God takes care of the need,
While the Spirit of God leads, others to watering the seeds,
Watering them with Truths of God, on the soul’s fertile sod,
That sod being a man’s heart, where that seed had its start.

God grows seed in many ways, while using us all our days,
In ways we may not know, as seed about us God will grow,
As God waters with His Truth, using our life as living proof,
What He can do in one life, through seeds, sown for Christ.

God can use a simple word, to confirm what one has heard,
With a Christian life lived out, God can will a seed to sprout,
From seed planted by one, then watered by God’s own Son,
Through Christ’s Spirit and grace, into one New Life of Faith.

That Daily Battle

I was saved by God, a wicked soul, saved by Him to make me whole,
Saved to become like Jesus Christ, living for Him, through a New Life,
But, sadly I daily battle with prejudice, from that war raging in all of us,
That daily battle foaming deep inside, with dark sin, from which I died.

Though I died to sin at The Cross, today in me, there is spiritual dross,
That dross, only His Blood purges, as me, His Spirit continually urges,
To truly walk in that newness of life, while in this world where sin is rife,
Being led by The Lord from above, so a world will see Him, in my love.

This spiritual battle rages deep within, an ongoing battle against all sin,
All of that sin from my former life, produces in my heart ongoing strife,
Between The Spirit and my flesh, as that enemy desires me to regress,
Being taunted from the wicked one, so I’d do what should not be done.

I need to daily resist the evil urge, as The Lord God continues to purge,
All that darkness that’s deep inside, so that in my Lord I can fully abide,
Recalling He paid the ultimate price, so that I could be a living sacrifice,
Avoiding sin that I have spoken of, to follow Christ’s Spirit from above.

Following God daily with my cross, as He continues purging that dross,
To walk in Christ so that others see, all the change afforded by Calvary,
While denying myself to follow Him, as He makes those changes within,
Those deepest crevices in my heart, so from old ways I can truly depart.

EXPORTING

That kind of kiss and runoff.
Why don't you concede to the fraud?
It was a haunted dilemma,
kidnapping of a verdict.

Dinosaurs were wiped out
by a clean sweep of a meteorite
long back, millions of years. Now,
present ones, tiny reptiles

still survivng in water, air and
earth by active faults.
The great Indian Bustard was again
sighted in a poor man's field.

Are you a moon friendly?
I am dispossessing all my domestic clouds.

DIVINITY WITHOUT

Your fangs open like lips.
I am ready for the kiss of death
at a war zone, where I was adrift
holding the flame, moments
stabbed by hot bullets.

Black and white words break the
embrace, I cannot study the bandona now.
Eyes winged, were sailing to distant
lands of smugness, a darkening calm
taking over the poems.

The pungent stink hurts, I swim
without water on dry riverbed, becoming
target for kalashnikov, the courtyard
filled by encroaching blood,

dominion of silent sobs.
