A NEW YEAR/A NEW YOU

Another twelve months have come and gone
And for a brief moment you need to look back
Not at the year’s events in the news but
At the good you did and what did you lack

Were you one of those who were in the world or
Did you spread God’s word as He commands
What can you do that will bless God in the New Year
That you know fits in with His eternal plans

It may just be some little things
Such as kindness giving and love
But things like this all fit right into
What God is doing from up above

Spread God’s word when and where you can
Tell everyone about Yeshua God’s only Son
How He died that your sins would be forgiven
By your example show the victory that He won

Do these things throughout the coming year
God will grant you blessings beyond measure
And when your time on the earth has ended
You’ll reap the benefits of your heavenly treasure

HAPPY NEW YEAR AND BLESSIMGS IN YESHUA

RESOLUTIONS FOR THE NEW YEAR



RESOLUTIONS FOR THE NEW YEAR

What resolutions will you make in
The New Year that’s coming soon
How many will you actually keep and
Which ones will you be breaking soon

Here are a few of the ones you’ll make
Many of them I’m sure you’ll break
Why even make them in the first place
So many of them were a big mistake

Each year you say you’re going on a diet
Obviously because you need to lose weight
If you really want to keep this resolution
Try putting smaller portions on your plate

Exercising will probably be the next one
Moaning and groaning and saying, “Ouch!”
If you really want it to happen the right way
Put down the remote and get off the couch

Of course you need to do things for your spouse
Clean up your messes and take the garbage out
Don’t forget the birthdays and anniversaries
That’s really what relationships are all about

These are the ones that you may or may not keep
The real important resolutions I’ve yet to list
They are ones that should never be broken
Yet breaking them may be hard for some to resist

First of course is to love the Lord your God
Love your neighbor as yourself is number two
What you give will come back as a blessing
From those who will do the same for you

Many people may not even know the Messiah
Without this blessing they’re not heaven bound
Profess Yeshua as Lord asking forgiveness of sin
Or the direction you’ll go is hell under ground

Once you do resolve to profess Him as Messiah
The blessings will be much more than you know
Life on the earth will never be the same as it was
As the Holy Spirit helps you to continue to grow

You may never need to make another resolution
God knows you love Him and have passed His test
Always give your hopes and prayers to the Lord
I promise you that He will take care of the rest

CHRISTMAS AND MESSIAH'S BIRTH



CHRISTMAS AND MESSIAH’S BIRTH

We know the date that Yeshua’s birth is celebrated
The church in Rome decided on this particular day
It had nothing to do with the Messiah’s actual birth
It was instituted by them to make paganism go away

Not one person knew the exact date of Yeshua’s birth
So I guess this day to celebrate was as good as any
What’s important here is the fact that He was born
To be loved, revered and Deified by so very many

And as the very famous saying goes,
“Yeshua is the reason for the season.”
Those who deny Him will be condemned
To the dark pit of hell for eternal treason

But if you love and revere Him as Lord
He will surely return that love to you
Make Yeshua an integrated part of your life and
He’ll influence everything that you think say and do

Yeshua is an integral part of God’s eternal plan
In the Tri-Unity of the Holy Spirit Father and Son
So we accept this day even though it was chosen by man
To celebrate Messiah’s birth and the victory that He won

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND BLESSINGS IN YESHUA

YES VIRGINIA HE REALLY DOES EXIST



YES VIRGINIA HE REALLY DOES EXIST

This title may sound somewhat familiar
It’s most likely you’re thinking about
The jolly old  man with the white beard
No but I’m about to let the secret out

Who am I talking about Virginia
He is the Messiah the King of Kings
Who gave His life to absolver your sins
It is the blessing that Salvation brings

What’s that you say you can’t see Him
Well I’ll tell you exactly how it’s done
With blind faith as small as a mustard seed
You’ll just believe that He’s God’s Son

Remember all the gifts that Santa brought you
Well Yeshua has wonderful gifts for you too
First when you believe there is eternal life and
A mansion to store the good works that you do

There’s an even greater gift that awaits you
Where there will be no more sickness or pain
You’ll be with Yeshua and Father God forever
Your choice is a hell to shun or a heaven to gain

You say that you professed and asked His forgiveness
Now go tell others Messiah is the Truth Light and Way
Thank you Virginia for telling me of your Salvation
Upon hearing this blessing it’s in Yeshua’s Name I pray

HELP ME TO HELP YOU!!!

TO ALL MY CURRENT AND NEW VIEWERS:

Although this sight was erected for you to enjoy poetry, the main purpose of many of my poetic messages is to reach those who do not know Yesua (Jesus) so that they may receive Salvation and be covered by His Blood to absolve their sins. (all people need to be going to heaven when they pass away. Not knowing the Lord and receiving Salvation is your automatic ticket in the other direction) If this is you, the only way that I can personally help you to achieve this blessing is for you to sign up in the comments section which appears after each verse and respond to my blog  (There is absolutely no cost!!!) I look forward to hearing from you and helping you to know the Messiah. That is why the Lord allows this site to continue and continues to bless me each week with new verses through the power of the Holy Spirit. Blessings in Yeshua, Joel

I want to thank all of my readers in the 52 countries that the Lord has allowed me to be viewed in and Lord willing, I will continue to provide poetry  to all of you through the power of God's Holy Spirit for as long as He chooses to bless me. That being said, in truth the real credit belongs to the Lord.
     Thank you Lord for the blessings of this and every day. Thank You for who You are, all that You do, all that You've done and for the things that wee don't even know that You're going to do. You are AWESOME and I am truly blessed.

NOURISHMENT



NOURISHMENT


Thank you Lord for the nourishment
That you sustain me with each day
Not just for the food that I consume
But for Your word which is here to stay

Also for the words that You provide
Through the Holy Spirit that I write
One more way for all those who need to see
The Glory and Majesty of Your Shining Light

Lord as long as You see fit to grant me
The ability to write of who You are
I will be Your obedient and faithful servant
To all of Your lost sheep both near and far

Whether the words are for joy or comfort
I will minister Your word that’s true
I pray that all who read these words
Will share the blessing of knowing You

In the Holy Bible which is Your Word it says
That to be with You in heaven we must profess
Your Son who gave His life to absolve our sins
It is the only key to eternal life and happiness

In Your Kingdom there are many mansions
For believers whose life on earth has ended
No longer will they feel sickness pain or sorrow
They are forgiven souls that You have mended



THE BLESSING OF MY PAIN



THE BLESSING OF MY PAIN

I know I’m not the only one out there
Who suffers from severe arthritic pain
Mine is an advanced warning which says that
Within twenty four hours we’ll be getting rain

All this is a result t of barometric pressure which
Always drops severely before the rain comes in
This is the penance that God has chosen for me
Far less than Yeshua paid for the forgiveness of sin

Who else could have endured the price that He paid
He was as pure as the unblemished sacrifice lamb
His reward was to be brought back to life from the dead
And drawn up to heaven to sit beside the Great I Am

This is God’s way of telling all of us
That Yeshua is the promised Messiah
And through Him alone will all know
Father God which is what we desire

God never promised us a bed of roses
Is something that I would always say
So if this is the suffering that I must endure
It’s a very small price that I will gladly pay

Lord thank You for who You are and for
All that You do and all You have done
For letting me see the truth of Salvation
Through the victory that You have won

Knowing that one day I’ll suffer no more pain
I look forward to the day I’ll seek Your Face
I‘m so blessed that You sacrificed Your life allowing me to
Spend eternity with You and the Father in a far better place

WHAT'S IN YOUR FUTURE



WHAT’S IN YOUR FUTURE

It’s likely that God is angry because
Many people haven’t changed their ways
Both those of faith and non believers
May be witnessing the end of days

Consider the damage devastation and deaths
From recent hurricanes tornados and such
God is showing just how angry He is by saying
That He doesn’t like what we’re doing very much

Understand that we don’t control our destiny
God controls everything both here and beyond
Right now I suggest that you get on His good side
Repent and there’s a good chance that you’ll bond

For God declared that the end will come but
Only He knows the exact time and the path
On that day satan will be destroyed forever
Those who mocked God will feel His wrath

Just know that there are better days are at hand
The Lord will console those with doubts and fears
Yeshua will reign on His throne in New Jerusalem
And His kingdom will last for one thousand year

Most likely some may not be around to see it happen
Don’t question what happens when that time is done
For we know that ours is not the same as God’s time
Just focus on Father God the Holy Spirit and the Son


HOW TO GET THERE FROM HERE



HOW TO GET THERE FROM HERE


Are you successful in the world we live in
Or are you struggling or just getting by
Either way you need to take a step back and
Check your relationship with God Most High

If you're living your life day to day
But your faith in Messiah is strong
This may be exactly where you need to be
And where the Lord wanted you all along

The riches of this world are only temporary 
Plant yourself on the rock of God here on earth
Heavens reward is beyond your expectation
There’s no way to measure what it’s truly worth

What about the people with successful careers
Do they know God tithing  one tenth of their pay 
If they don’t when the final judgment day arrives
Heaven's gates won’t open hell is the other way

Take heart for no matter what your station in life
Just profess Messiah Yeshua as the King of Kings
He gave His life to absolve the sins of all mankind
Opening gates of the riches that Salvation brings

INSPIRATION

INSPIRATION

In the face of darkness
Or in the light of day
Problems confront us
In each and every way

Whether they are big ones
Or even if they're small
With the courage of your convictions
You'll face them one and all

But if you cannot face them
Then the one way you must turn
Is to the Lord who hears all prayer
And a lesson you shall learn

This lesson that I speak of
 Is one of faith it's true
In God and self let come what may
And start each day anew

A MESSAGE WORTH REPEATING

A MESSAGE WORTH REPEATING

 Some people who read the poems that I write
May say that the message is always the same
To this end I whole heartedly agree with them
For its purpose is to bless God’s Holy Name
 
The words that I write down aren’t always my own
They come through the power of God’s Holy Spirit
The message that it brings is very clear and precise
Because God has assured me that you need to hear it
 
If you hear the same message over and over again
It’s usually one that will stick and you won’t forget
God says that if you hear it and put it into practice
The end result is likely one that you’ll never regret
 
If the message God gives me is getting through to you
Naturally He will always be the very first one to know
But I’m still left in limbo because you’ve not told me
Please leave me a comment so that I can continue to grow
 
I’m just one of God’s many vessels to reach you and know
That as long as the Holy Spirit continues to bless me
Somebody somewhere is receiving God’s message
And a captive to the will of satan has been set free

WHO IS ISRAEL



WHO IS ISRAEL

It sounds like a very simple question
Just what does Israel mean to you
As a believer in God it’s the heritage that
Belongs to both the Gentile and the Jew

The bible says that we’re all seeds of Abraham
Following his lineage it takes two steps more
God said that Isaac was His child of promise and
Jacob aka Israel God said He’d love forever more

The land that God gave to His chosen people is
One that no other people or nation can refute
Yet those that God put them in the midst of
Don’t understand or agree and always dispute

The Gentiles share a stake in Israel as well
Messiah and the Tree of Life grafts them in
Others who occupy the land claim it as theirs
Believing this lie God may even consider a sin

All that God’s people want is to live in peace
Something that satan always looks to destroy
What the devil is unable to comprehend is that
There’s nothing greater than the Will of Adonai

Those that may not agree with what I’ve written
Could possibly be a part of the coming end days
Messiah’s return and the devastation that follows
Will show that it’s too late to change their ways

I WRITE THE POEMS



I WRITE THE POEMS

I’m reminded of Neal Diamond
Who sang, “I write the song.”
Similarly I write the poems that you read and
Then God places them right where they belong

Verses in the bible tell us that
God has given each of us a gift
Through the power of the Holy Spirit
And to use it to encourage and uplift

Such is the case of the words that you read but
I’m just a vessel who is spreading God’s word
The Holy Spirit speaks through the words I write
To tell you things that God wants read and heard

I pray that I’ve made this understood to you and
That God’s message is coming in loud and clear
When it happens I want you to feel His presence
He is close to someone that He holds very dear

THE TRUE DEFININTION OF THANKSGIVING



THE TRUE DEFINITION OF THANKSGIVING

Give thanks to the Lord God our creator
Whose power is Omnipotent and Grand
Yet so many people do not accept Him
Because of things they don’t understand

It’s quite a very simple concept which
Even some men of science can agree
Although they say theoretically that
They have proven that this cannot be

I am far from being a biblical scholar but
I do believe what the bible says and means
Because I have blind faith in God’s Divinity
Those theories aren’t worth a hill of beans

I wasn’t there to see the things that happened
But I believe what was written and will testify
That God gave it to His prophets to write down
We know that God can’t doesn’t and won’t lie

Those that finally do accept God’s written word
Come to faith when they feel that all else is lost
They can see that God is always there to turn to
Yet still don’t understand the price that it cost

Father God gave to the world His only begotten Son
Whose blood atonement frees us from all worldly sin
But only if you will profess Him as Lord and Messiah
At that moment your circumstances become a win/ win

At this point your life starts a new beginning and no end
For when you pass away God has granted you eternal life
To enter His kingdom with all of your heavenly treasures
Abiding with the Lord freed from sickness pain and strife

You must also understand that this gift does not come free
Daily you must ask forgiveness for sins that you may not see
Becoming a vessel for the Lord and spreading God’s Word
Is not only a blessing but a vital part of your responsibility

 THANKSGIVING

We’ll be spending our Thanksgiving
By driving over to Grandma’s house
Not a soul will go hungry
Not even a little mouse

She started preparing
On the night before
If there was anything missing
She sent Grandpa to the store

Everything must be perfect
On this day you see
For it isn’t very often
That we gather as a family

After a long trip we arrive there
The first thing we do is turn on the TV
To watch the Thanksgiving Day parade
There are marching bands and floats to see

Before we begin eating
We hold hands and pray
Thank you Lord for the blessings
That you have given us this day

And we also pray a special blessing for
The men and women who protect our liberty
Please God keep them safe from harm
They understand that freedom isn’t free

Then Grandpa says, “Let’s eat I’m starving.”
The first thing on the menu is soup in a cup
In the background we listen to Holiday music
This always helps us to keeps our spirits up

Uncle Charlie carves the turkey and
Asks if we want dark meat or white
And even with this many people
There will be plenty to take home tonight

Pass the gravy and the rolls please
The peas and sweet potatoes too
The cornbread stuffing is delicious
And may I have some apple cider too

When we finish with the main course
The women will help to put things away
While the men go and watch a football game
Actually there are several of them on TV today

Once everything else has been cleaned up
Grandma serves coffee and pumpkin pie
All of a sudden it feels like we’re stuffed
For same strange reason we wonder why

Before we head back to our homes
There are still two things to be done
First we help to set up the Christmas tree
Then we join hands and thank the Holy One

Thank you Lord for the blessings of this special day
We ask for traveling mercies and Your Grace again
May all of our hearts be filled with Your goodness
And to this prayer all of Your children say, “AMEN.”

AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM THE POET



An important message from the poet

       I don’t claim to be a prophet but the words that I write do come from God’s Holy Spirit and I have no reason to doubt their validity. Some who read the words that I’m given may believe that I’m being biased. My response to that is a definite no and that God is in complete control of all situations, even knowing what will happen before it happens. If this election is a sign that is bringing us closer to the end days, I’m sure that God had it pre planned. I just know that even though God gives us free will choice, that doesn’t make Him happy with many of the choices that we make.
       I realize that they say that basically all politicians tend to stretch the truth, but it’s up to us as individuals to check these things out to see if they were true or false. That didn’t happen in this election and this is the basis of the words which I’ve been given to write. Unless I receive something else from the Lord, these next two poems will be my final two that pertain to the election. I’ll close this commentary by saying:
       If the shoe fits, you need to put it on and be accountable for what I perceive to be words that I received about our future as a nation, all because you may have had an ulterior motive without investigating whether or not the rhetoric and statements made by either party were accurate before casting your ballot. Or then again, perhaps you just enjoy getting free stuff that honest people have to work hard for.
       I also welcome any responses to this poetry.!

THE PLEA THAT FELL ON DEAF EARS



THE PLEA THAT FELL ON DEAF EARS

The two thousand twelve election is over
Keeping the Democratic party in power
And God has conveyed to me that we’re
Closer to the end time devastation hour

Many different ethnic backgrounds and faiths
Chose to listen and believe all of their rhetoric
Without investigating if it was true or false
We’ve just re-elected an egotistical lunatic

How can and how dare I berate our President
I’m old so what can those in power do to me
For now I still have right of freedom of speech
But even that may be taken one day you’ll see

Do these paragraphs mean that I’m prejudiced
I can response to that with both a yes and no too
I’m not biased toward any ethnicity or religion but
They need to be held accountable for what they do
                       
I believe in truth justice and the American way however
My first allegiance is to the Lord God who has set me free
I’ve been granted a pass through pearly gates in heaven
With a place to store my treasures for the rest of eternity

Those who read this and are guilty of complacency
Will scoff and say that I must be out of my mind
There are millions of people who feel just like me
A majority with wide open eyes who aren’t blind

A prime example of the pied piper theory
Was quite evident in the previous century
Germany was led down this very same path
By a lunatic who involved the nation in heresy

If you are a true believer in the Lord God
Wake up and don’t let this happen again
I pray that your eyes will open before it’s too late
And close my thoughts with let it be so or AMEN
                         

WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE



WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE

The Presidential election is now over
As you know the Democrats have won
The word that the Holy Spirit gave me
Was that more devastation has begun

I really hope that the word what I was given
Was a message that came through in error
The view I was given after the election was
 Of poverty destruction devastation and terror

Of course this is not a good thing
But what you need to understand
Is that our nation had just fulfilled
Things that God had already planned

I believe that one way that we got there
Was through ignorance and complacency
The majority of these people had refused to
Let God in for Him to set them Spiritually free

The following are perfect examples of this
That take place now as well as in the past
Reasons that the end times are getting closer
And the world as we know it now won’t last

On the day following the election I felt as though
At least for one day that I needed to wear black
Sympathizing with those of our once great nation
Who fear we’ll never see our glory days come

We’ve become a fifty/fifty nation
Half will and the other half give
Which one describes your attitude
God knows this is not the way to live

We’re now a nation of too many complacent people
Although God has given us the ability to think
Taking a person’s word without checking facts is
Just one of many reasons that put us on the brink

These are the very same people who would allow
Someone else like the government to pay their way
Ethics and self sufficiency has given way to apathy
One more reason why we are where we are today

One prime examples of devastation from the past is
Germany doing the same exact thing many years ago
The masses became a nation of pied piper followers
And the end result is something that we all know

My next example goes way back but is still evident today
It is all about those who rejected the Deity of God’s Son
All because they refused to look at the facts as written down
Clearly proof of man’s salvation the victory that Yeshua won

As one of the Lord’s Vessels through God’s Holy Spirit
After tending a message like this all that I can do is pray
Father Forgive us showing Your Mercy and Compassion and
Restore Spiritual Values to the once Godly Nation of the U.S.A.

TWO DAYS OF GRACE



TWO DAYS OF GRACE

With just two days before the election
God is watching to see what we’ll do
Although He already knows the result
He still has given free will choice to you

How will you use this gift from the Lord
Will you return the incumbent to power
Or will you vote that will bring a change
It may or may not decide the world’s final hour

I’m not looking to influence your choice in any way
However what I’m giving you is my personal belief
God conveys things to me through His Holy Spirit
To abuse His gift would cause me to receive much grief
                                   
Although the Lord blesses me with this awesome gift
He may tell me things that I might not want to know
So I will not sugar coat or change what God gives me
It’s something my viewers have the right to know

He gave me two alternative poems for post election
One that shows stagnation which will lead to decay
The other shows hope for much brighter tomorrows
One that won’t hinder our God given right to pray

Either choice will ultimately be in our best interest
Choosing to stay put draws us closer to the end days
A change to more Godly ways show there’s still time
Before the Lord returns to destroy satan’s evil ways  

So with two days of Grace until the election
Let your conscience make the choice for you
God’s infinite wisdom knows the right path
Will you stay put or bring in someone new

PRAYING FOR THAT GODLY MIRACLE




PRAYING FOR THAT GODLY MIRACLE

When it comes time to go to sleep
I get there without counting sheep
Because I’m a child of the Great I Am
I commit my soul to His Precious Lamb

Yeshua gave His life that all may receive
Salvation for the forgiveness of our sins
To become a creation that is born again
A prelude to where eternal life begins

Sadly there are many who will not accept Him
Even though He’s the bearer of this good news
First and foremost of the ones who still doubt
Are many of His own people yes it’s the Jews

Why are they so adamant that He isn’t the Messiah
There are many unfounded reasons that they will give
I’ll tell you a few but I still keep them in my prayers
That God removes the blinders for their souls to live

This had already been pre planned by God the Father
Starting with most of the head rabbis of Yeshua’s time
If they had believed they would lose power and wealth
It was much easier to accuse Him of an unproven crime

Passed down through the ages it was even related that
The man who others called God had even ever existed
In the early nineteen-fifties they called Him a Prophet
Thus the blinders which they bore still hadn’t been lifted

Over the years many Jews have become agnostic
Keeping their identity but they don’t go to temple
Others would attend just on the High Holy Days
All the things that God considers a bad example

There is a much simpler way to remove the blindfolds
Prophets in the Tenach wrote of the coming Messiah
But so many don’t even open that part of their bible
Either out of complacency or a lack of knowledge desire

They won’t even attempt to look at the New Covenant
Saying that it is a book that’s related to another belief
Totally clueless that it was written by Jews to the Jew
If they had it would never be a source of so much grief

Basically that is all that it would take to know the truth
I implore you to take a closer look you‘ve nothing to lose
It doesn’t matter what your friends or family think or say
Once Salvation’s Light has brought you God’s Good News
