ONLY YOU CONTROL YOUR DESTINY

ONLY YOU CONROLE YOUR DESTINY

We’re living in a world today where
Millions of people are gripped with fear
But Lord there is also a remnant who
Understand that You are always near

As we are believers in the Ever Living God
We need to spread the gospel’s living word
And tell everyone to have blind faith
Believing everything that they have heard

They may ask, “How can you say that?”
I say, “Don’t let this moment pass you by.”
The bible tells us of our past and future
And we know that God can’t tell a lie

God’s word will help to ease your pain
And will give your soul uplifting life
They ask me, “How can I do this,
And rid my days of all this strife?”

You must profess belief in Messiah
And ask forgiveness for your sins
It’s your ticket to eternal life
That is where it all begins

It makes things so much easier to
Live in this world of harsh reality
Knowing that Messiah will be returning
But only God knows the time and day exactly

RICHES

RICHES

There aren’t enough words to
Express the love I have for you
The Lord has double blessed me
For I know that you love me too

I will spend my lifetime
Telling you just how I feel
Because everything about you
Is honest caring warm and real

I so look forward to our future
Knowing God and you are in my life
And all of these things were culminated on the day
That you become my friend companion lover and wife

I am nothing without the Lord
I’ve loved you both right from the start
What riches I have are His and yours
For they come from deep within my heart

THE GLORY OF GOD

THE GLORY OF GOD

Lord there is no end to how much I love You
It’s out there in plain sight for everyone to see
Although I’ve felt this way for my entire life
It was the truth in Messiah that has set me free

Free to love my fellow man and woman
Even those with whom I may disagree
To turn the other cheek when necessary
And pray for the forgiveness of my enemy

All have sinned coming short of God’s Glory
Each and every one of us that is except for one
Messiah Yeshua who gave His life to save ours
Our Lord who just happens to be God’s Son

All that we can do is be the best that we can be
To follow the example which the Lord has set
God knows Every one of our thoughts and deeds
The path that we choose He will never forget

The end of that path leads to eternal life
A reward with riches beyond measure
To bask in the Glory of the Lord our God
Face to face the greatest of all treasure

MAKING A MARRIAGE WORK

MAKING A MARRIAGE WORK

The thoughts that came to me for you today
Are just some thoughts that I think are best
And when you read the words I’ve written
You’ll know the reason why I’m so blessed

I didn’t give this much thought until today
Because I know that it’s the right thing to do
And as you read more into this poem
I know by your faith that you will too

My wife just had surgery to replace both knees
Whatever help she would need later I'd be there
She had always been there when I’ve needed her
It’s a small part of the marital bond that we share

The secret of a happy marriage is really not a secret
So many individuals seem to do things for themselves first
If you will follow this doctor’s prescription religiously
The bubble in your marriage will never burst

Who is this doctor that can cure any problem
It’s Doctor Yeshua and His cure is not magic
But if you’re too blind to use His prescription
I am sad to say that the end will be tragic

This is the greatest advice that you can follow
You must put God First family next and then you
Follow what's written in this biblical prescription
And God’s blessing impacts everything you say and do

God needs to always be Number One in your life
If it wasn’t for Him where would you be
Your family is next in the chain of importance
Then you can handle any personal needs you see

When you bond with God through the Holy Spirit
The rest of your life will just fall into place
Until the day comes for your eternal reward
And are blessed to see your Creator face to face

A NOTE FROM THE POET

NORMALLY, I'D POST TWO NEW POEMS EVERY SUNDAY, BUT THIS WEEKEND I WAS IN NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE, SO THEY WILL FOLLOW THIS MESSAGE.

I WANT TO WELCOME ALL THOSE WHO ARE VISITING MY WEBSITE. INCLUDING THOSE FROM OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES (11 COUNTRIES AND GROWING). I WOULD ALSO LIKE EVERYONE TO ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO CHECK IT OUT AS THIS IS MY WAY OF MINISTERING TO PEOPLE. EVERY ONE OF THE WORDS TO ANY SPIRITUAL POETRY THAT I HAVE WRITTEN HAS COME FROM GOD'S HOLY SPIRIT.

ALTHOUGH THESE WORDS ARE MEANT FOR ALL WHO READ THEM, I ESPECIALLY WANT ALL OF MY JEWISH READERS TO KNOW THAT THEY CAN ACCEPT YESHUA (JESUS) AS THEIR JEWISH MESSIAH AND STILL REMAIN COMPLETELY JEWISH IN EVERY WAY AND THAT HE CAME AND SACRIFICED HIS LIFE TO ABSOLVE THE SINS OF ALL WHO BELIEVE IN HIM, JEW AND GENTILE ALIKE.

THIS WEEK'S POEMS ARE NEXT.

THE TREE OF LIFE

THE TREE OF LIFE

The tree of life is blessed with many branches
Its foundation was grown from Jewish roots
Over time many of the branches have withered
Which meant that many would not bear fruits

However each one of the fruits that flourished
Believe that Yeshua is the son of God and man
But many decaying branches can still flourish
By repenting and believe in Him as Lord they can

I implore you not to let your branches wither
You can turn your life around this very day
When a branch blossoms it leads to heaven
Those that stay withered will go the other way

POETIC PURPOSE

POETIC PURPOSE

Most of the poetry that others write
Conveys a message when you read it
It may be humorous sad or romantic
Mine comes to me from the Holy Spirit

Many will write it as prose or in rhyme
The latter is the way I choose to write
And the words which I put on paper
I express so that all may see God’s Light

They are not just lines that rhyme and
Although I don’t always quote bible scripture
They are written to stir up the feelings in your soul
In the hope that you’ll see the bigger picture

Sometimes they’re aimed at those who have lost their way
Or to comfort the state of sadness in which they’re mired
God wants you to put your total trust in Him
From the beginning it’s exactly what He’s desired

I’m just one of the many vessels that God uses
He has always provided many other ways
Such as reading His Word from the Holy Bible
Which will guide your path for the rest of your days

FULFILMENT

FULFILLMENT

In a crisis many people question God’s motives
They ask, “Lord, why have you forsaken me?”
Instead ask what you can do to set things right
Remember God sacrificed His Son to set you free

No matter what the circumstances may be
Your faith in God is your strength to believe
If this is you God hears what you’ve prayed
The Will of the Father is what you’ll receive

Fortify your faith with strength courage and love
And though the answer may not be what you seek
Do not despair just trust in whatever His decision
Knowing that His glory abides in the humble and meek

Every one of us sins in some form each and every day
Although we’ve been forgiven we must let God know
That it comes from the flesh not His Spirit within us
By doing this you’ve delivered satan quite a blow

As much as you profess your love of God
In His Grace and Mercy He loves you more
When He decides that you’re needed in heaven
Believing in Messiah you’ll walk through His door

There will come a time when you will be judged
And you will excel by your faith and good deeds
Then all of the heavenly treasure you have stored in a lifetime
Will fulfill with abundance each and every one of your needs

ADVICE FOR REMEMBERING

ADVICE FOR REMEMBERING

Funny about having a mental block
It’s really a very easy thing to do
When trying to remember something
It’s happened to me how about you

There is a remedy that will help avoid this dilemma
Always keep a pen and pencil and some paper near
So that when a thought should come in to your mind
You write it down to make sure it will remain clear

I would like to think of this as good advice and yet
There’s still one big flaw in the solution that I see
When trying to read what I have written down
No one is able to read my writing not even me

GOD IS YOUR SALVATION

GOD IS YOUR SALVATION

There are so many reasons why
God loves you as He does
He’s a loving but sometimes a jealous God but
You know He’s the one who will be is and was

He is also the Living God
For His Spirit lives in you
You know you’re walking with the Lord
By all of the things that you say and do

If you’re obedient and show reverent fear
You will always receive God’s Grace
And when you reach His heavenly kingdom
The first thing you’ll want to do is to seek His Face

You got a get past go card
When Messiah gave His life
To cleans you of all earthly sins
And bear the burden of your strife

Signs point that we’re somewhere in the end days
As Believers we know that He’ll return for us all
So keep focused as you toward the Eastern skies
And listening for the resounding trumpet’s call

DEALING WITH FRUSTRATION

DEALING WITH FRUSTRATION

Have you ever had one of those days
When everything that could goes wrong
It may just start with something small
Like mentally repeatedly singing the same song

Then you go to get on the computer and
The server has changed things around
You keep trying to get into your email
But sadly it’s nowhere to be found

So you decide to take out the daily trash
The bag is overflowing and it’s very heavy
It tears and everything falls all over the place
And your clothes get covered with gravy

Finally when you get the mess cleaned up
You open the door and the dog escapes
It makes you wonder what else could go wrong
So far your day has been filled with sour grapes

That’s the time when you need to pause
You need to take one giant step back
If the rest of the day continues on like this
You’re just liable to cause a heart attack

Instead of fretting about all that has happened
There is something else that you can do
Just turn these frustrations over to the Lord
And then you can start the day anew

The Lord will bear your burden
By yourself you can’t fix the mess
Move on with the rest of the day
And God will take care of the rest

Stay calm and go about your business
It’s amazing how it will all work out
All because you let go and let God
That’s really what it’s all about
