AN UPDATE FROM THE POET

The Messianic Times International Newspaper wrote a full page article on this Poetry Ministry that the Lord has given to me. I can't cut and paste the article from my email to the blog, but if you'd like to read it, just send an email request to joels30144@yahoo.com titled: article,  and I'll email you a copy to read.

COMPASSIONATE LORD



COMPASSIONATE LORD

Thank you Lord for you compassion
Although you knew I’d committed sin
I didn’t let go and let God in a situation
That should have only been win/win

On that day when I fell extremely ill
You chose to warn this wretched soul
Instead of bringing me to judgment
You chose to heal and make me whole

For you saw that I’d found Salvation
Through the blood shed by Your Son
Messiah Yeshua the King of Kings
The Hope of Israel and Holy One

I’ll abide by your decisions although
I know that my flesh might not agree
For Your Holy Spirit lives within me
And it has set this captive free

I will exalt You My Lord forever
With fervent prayer and praise
And use this gift You’ve given me
To help to lead home Your Strays

God of mercy and compassion
Your Strength is my source
Guide me Lord in all Your ways
Keep me steadfast on the course


A SMILE'S REWARD



A SMILE’S REWARD

A smile is such a pleasant thing
It says exactly who you are
Frowning on the other hand
Won’t get you very far

Laughter is the best medicine
Beating tension fear and strife
Although not proven medically
It seems to give us a longer life

God wants us to be happy
Verses in the bible tell us so
It says to spread love and joy
Until He tells us it’s our to go

So fill your life with lots of laughter
Sometimes it may even hurt to smile
Seek peace on earth good will toward all
You’ll see it pays to walk that extra mile

I CAN'T HELP TO SAVE EVERYONE"S SOUL



I CAN’T HELP TO SAVE EVERY SOUL

Sadly no matter how hard and how often I may try
Some I come in contact with are beyond redemption
Perhaps another of the Lord’s vessels may do better
This was a relative and I got too close to the situation

I understood that it was Farther God telling me
To Back off and He would seek a different path
Since it was family all that’s left for me to do is pray
That whatever happens he doesn’t irk God’s Wrath

I even got a pastor friend involved in the situation
Thinking his deeper knowledge would work better
The family member’s mind was shut so tightly that
He would’ve gotten better results from an Irish Setter

In my enthusiasm for Yeshua and that final result
I pushed harder than I usually do and went too far
I see the overall picture clearer now and moved on
I pray that between us it hasn’t left a lasting scar

So here we are at the crossroads once again and I’ll
Continue the work that the lord has given me to do
Perhaps someone reading this doesn’t know Yeshua
I’ll tell them how to start their Spiritual Life anew

I'LL STILL TAKE RESPONSABILITY



I’LL STILL TAKE RESPONSABILITY

Sometimes the Lord gives me words to write
And I find it necessary to write them down
A big problem is because of my handwriting
It occasionally may even cause me to frown

Then of course there’s that second problem
It happens to be my somewhat poor vision
God may not have wanted them written then
 It also may not have been His final Decision

In the meantime I keep all of the scraps of papers
And then I’ll check them over whenever I’m able
Until the next time that the Lord gives me more
That I write down and leave on my work table

2ND POEM FOR THIS WEEK: THE MYSTERY OF GOD

I was only able to post one poem for this week yesterday on Valentine's Day because of a computer glitch with my carrier. Below is the 2nd poem for this week.



THE MYSTERY OF GOD

We worship the Lord God with blind faith
It’s something that we always need to do
What we have as proof of God’s Existence
Are both of His Testaments Old and New

But our thoughts are not His Thoughts
And our ways are not the Lord’s as well
There’s only one way to get into heaven
And more than one to get into the pit of hell

How do we believe God with such blind faith
Because His Word declares that He can’t Lie
For all the non believers that are out there
I‘m suggesting that you give the Lord a try

The New Testament says the God gave His Son’s Life
For the repentance and the cleansing of all of our sins
Professing Yeshua as Lord and confessing them to Him
Awesomely from that moment on your renewed life begins

You’re granted an eternal life in God’s Kingdom of heaven
With a place where you store all of your heavenly treasure
All these things just for having blind faith in the Lord
And a life after death that’s completely beyond measure

If anyone questions why I repeat so many subjects so often
It’s because no matter how often I repeat them over a again
It take all of that time to get through to many of these folks
Before God tells me it’s done and I can finally say “Amen.”

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

Since I never buy cards for any of our special occasions, and write a poem to my wife on these days, I have her permission to share this day's poem with my viewers. (Everything that is except the more personal words between a husband & wife)


ALWAYS THE LAST MINUTE BUT STILL ON TIME


HAPPY VALENTINES DAY

All of the words that I’ve written about
Who you are and the reason’s why I’ll
Always love you even past the day I die
Are compounded in the way you smile

Rather than talk about all those qualities that are
Wrapped in your laughter and when you smile
And even when we might have our differences
For you I’d always be willing to walk that extra mile

We both know the reason we feel the way we do about each other
It’s because it’s about God and how He put us in each other’s life
I’ll always love her from this day forward and throughout eternity
Thank You Lord for blessing me with such a wonderful Godly wife

PRESSING FORWARD



PRESSING FORWARD

The Lord has assigned a task to me to reach
The unsaved and bereaved through poetry
It’s a means that leads to the final victory
The task of setting them Spiritually Free

The words that I write are given to me
Directly from the Lord’s Holy Spirit
Then He directs their path to my blog for
Those in to need to read and understand it

I can honestly say that it’s the truth because
Yeshua suffered and died to cleans us our sins
But He has given me some burdens to carry
It’s the human part of where Salvation begins

I have degenerative disks in my entire back
And my vision is considered legally blind
We’ve all suffered in one form or another
But we need to cast those iniquities behind

We still need to ask God’s forgiveness for daily sins
Every day when we go the Lord in our prayers
I know that when the Lord hears our confessions
It makes the day easier because He Really Cares

The apostle Paul said to press toward the mark
To keep Yeshua as your number one priority
The Rewards that come later are beyond measure
To your Soul that’s in heaven throughout eternity




YOU BE THE JUDGE



YOU BE THE JUDGE

This is an important question that I’m posing to you
When you go to worship what’s the proper attire
Or do you believe that it’s really not important
Because you’re there to seek the Lord’s Holy Fire

This is my individual opinion on that situation
Respect for the Lord requires a proper dress code
You do not always have to be dressed to the nines
But In His House It should be a respectable mode

Jeans are acceptable but not with ratty holes in them
In God’s House I feel you should be decently dressed
Ladies wearing dresses barely covering their booty
Or some tops that accentuate and show their breasts

Sure there are some exceptions to this scenario
Si0omethingThose who may be homeless or who are poor
Even those people can change the situation by
Just keep on praying what they’re asking for

Now it’s your turn to voice your opinion
Leave it on my blog or you can email me
The email is posted on the top of the page
With your o.k. I’ll post it for others to see
