2 POEMS FOR 2015 A FEW HOURS EARLY




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 through 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 so 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 BLESSINGS IN YESHUA


GOD LETS MANY DREAMS COME TRUE

I’d say that I’m somewhat of a dreamer
Does this also happen to you as well
Most of my dreams do not come true
But one of them does as you can tell

I was born on Long Island to Jewish parents
My mom was Spiritual and dad worked a lot
I started writing poems at the age of thirteen
Of the many I’ve written one I never forgot

It’s a Spiritual poem that I wrote in the first year
Some fifty years later I knew what had to be done
The Lord gave me a ministry to write of Salvation
To tell of the Victory that Messiah Yeshua had won

So this is one of my awesome dreams that came true
I’m blessed by words given through the Holy Spirit
Somewhat just like what I’ve written right now
The Lord has given this to me for you to read it

I met my second wife over thirteen years ago
I have yet to buy her a card for any occasion
It’s not been easy they come at the last minute but
The Holy Spirit comes through for every celebration

You too can have a dream such as this
Just accept Yeshua as your Messiah’
Confess the sins in your life as well and
Your life will be filled with God’s Holy Fire

But you’re not done yet as one of God’s Vessels
Preach the Good News to those who will hear it
So that the words that you tell them resonates
And they too will be filled with God’s Holy Spirit

A CHRISTMAS WISH FOR MY GENTILE BROTHERS AND SISTERS



A CHRISTMAS MESSAGE FOR MY GENTILE
BROTHERS AND SISTERS

You celebrate the Lord’s birthday
On the twenty fifth of December
This date was set by Constantine
But it’s an awesome day to remember

The four things that I wish you
Are joy happiness peace and love
It’s the same wish from Our Savior
Who is the Lord in heaven above

I also pray for one more thing that the church
Would celebrate the Sabbath on Saturday
For God created the world in six days
On the seventh He Rested on that day

There are many things in the bible
Not celebrated by the church today
Perhaps in time they’ll see the light
Before Messiah Comes Back one day

With all that gotten off my chest
There’s one more thing I need to say
Praise the Lord and Worship Him
And have a Merry Christmas Day

WHAT I DO AND YOU CAN TOO



WHAT I DO AND YOU CAN TO

Today wasn’t a really good day for me
During breakfast I didn’t feel very well
So I thank God daily for whatever He Does
For I know that I won’t be going to hell

You may ask me how I know this to be true
It’s because through Messiah I have Salvation
And I pray for the forgiveness of my sins daily
Without even the slightest bit of hesitation

You too can receive this awesome blessing
And I’ll tell you just exactly what it takes
Profess Yeshua as Messiah asking forgives of
Your sins for the Lord doesn’t make mistakes

From that day forward He’ll be with you
In everything you do and wherever you go
Just by praying to the Lord and ask Him
Yeshua if this is to be Your Will let it be so

CHANUKAH



 CHANUKAH

The time of year has come again when
We celebrate the Festival of Lights
Exchanging gifts for the eight days
Do we have its full meaning in our sights

For those who may not know its meaning
I’ll explain why it’s called by that name
Judah Maccabee’s army was victorious or
Our people’s live would never be the same

For the victory that God had Provided to us
They burned oil offering at the temple alter
But there was only enough to last one day so
They sent a runner for more so as not to falter

The miracle of this dedication came from God
When the runner returned it had lasted eight days
This miracle can also be used as a time of reflection
For the multitudes of people to change their ways

The main candle or shamas is used to light the others
It’s likened to Yeshua who is the light of the world
Who gave his life so that our sins were forgiven
And a direct path to God’s Kingdom was unfurled

Now that I’ve made you aware of the complete story
Confess your sins and profess Yeshua as your Messiah
The benefits far outweigh any questions in your mind
And your soul will be filed with a burning desire

ANOTHER POINT TO PONDER




The world that we are living in today
Could possibly not be here tomorrow
And those who doubt God’s warning
Could soon be wallowing in sorrow

The bible says that only God knows exactly
What day His wrath will ravage the earth
And believers that know His Saving Grace
Know exactly how much that day is worth

God warned us in the New Covenant of wars
Rumors of wars earthquakes floods and such
If you do not see theses things happening now
I believe that you are completely out of touch

I did not say that it was imminent
Obviously God will make that call
We know about yesterday and today
But not if tomorrow He will end it all

Your life on earth will be not be a pleasant one
When the Lord finally chooses to show His Wrath
If you are searching for a way out of this dilemma
I can tell you that it is by following in God’s Path

The only way to do this is by professing that
Yeshua is the Messiah and is your Salvation
And for the forgiveness of your sin for you to
Enter God’s Kingdom with joy and jubilation

I can not make this decision for you but
I have pointed out what you need to do
Surely you don’t want to befriend satan
But God has left that decision up to you

LIFE IS TOO SHORT



LIFE IS TOO SHORT

The life that we live on earth
Is much too short to be trivial
So place your main emphasis on
The Lord so that it will be meaningful

I lost a daughter when she was fourty-six
It’s a heartbreak that I’ll never forget
But she left me with so many good memories
And yet there are things that I still regret

Even though I know that I must move on
Always keeping her memory within my life
I have children grandchildren and a great grandchild
And especially I have a very Godly and loving wife

Because the Lord is the main focus in my life
I know that some day I’ll see Natalie once again
In heaven with friends and family from my past
On that note all that’s left to be said is, “AMEN”

LISTENING TO THE BIBLE ON TAPE



LISTENING TO THE BIBLE ON TAPE

When I get word from the Holy Spirit
Quite often biblical verses are involved
Occasionally I will quote them directly
But now I hope to have this issue resolved

Many of you know that I’m legally blind
Now I’ve stared to listen to the bible on tape
Even though I have a short term memory
When I’m done I’ll have no reason to escape

I don’t know how long it will take me
I’ve heard people say it takes a year
But no matter much time it takes me
I’ll always know that the Lord is near

What I hope to accomplish when I finish
Is that I’ll be able to quote scripture more
It’s something that was prophesized to me
So it’s something that I don’t want to ignore

I believe that by quoting more scripture it’s
Something some of my readers can’t ignore
It will bring even more people to Salvation
And others to get reading scripture even more

GETTING GOD'S WORD OUT BY ALL MEANS



GETTING THE WORD OUT BY ALL MEANS POSSIBLE

Many of you know that I don’t do Facebook
But you also know that my wife Trudi does
My mission is to spread the word of the Lord
Our God Who Will be Who Is and Who Was

For those of you who might not be familiar
I write verses provided by God’s Holy Spirit
Some for consoling and some for Salvation
For anyone who may have the need to read it

That’s the reason why I wrote these verses
I’m asking you to pass the blog to your friends
Even to the ones outside of the United States
So that the Godly Word I’m given never ends

Please visit and pass along poemsbyjoel.
Blogspot.com where I post 2 poems each
Weekend and you can go back into the
Archives for almost 5 years.

For those Who may be interested, if you go to my
Bio, there’s a site where you can purchase a book of Spiritual
Poetry given to me through the Lord’s Holy Spirit.

Blessings in Yeshua (Jesus)

EACH BREATH I TAKE



EACH BREATH I TAKE

I thank the Lord for every breath I take
For only God knows when all life ends
It may come when you‘re young or older
What’s in His plan well that all depends

Perhaps God will give you a longer life
It would enables you to minister His word
Or maybe you have yet to accept the Lord
Years may pass by before God’s truth is heard

He may call a baby or a youth to glory
Causing families to feel the loss in pain
But God has a much higher purpose for them
In time they’ll see their loved one once again

No matter how much time you may have left on earth
Praise and glorify Him as you pray to our God and King
 Obey whatever it may be that the Lord God asks of you
This enables you to know that abiding in Him is everything

Then when by the grace of God the Lord calls you
And tells you that the time has come to end your years
When Yeshua brings you into His Father’s house
Your answered prayer will be filled with joyful tears
