A CHRISTMAS MESSAGE 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

SHABBAT

SHABBAT

In six days God created all

On the seventh He did proclaim,

"The Sabbath would be a day of rest"

And commanded us to do the same

From the setting of the sun on Friday

Through the same time Saturday

Is the holiest of all God's days

A time set apart to rest and pray

At this time we come together

In a sanctuary beneath His covering

And God's presence can be felt

Indwelling and protectively hovering

From the kindling of the Sabbath candles

To The Aaronic benediction

This ritual is observed by Jews worldwide

With just one contradiction

Messianic Jews and Gentiles worship together

And God's truth is what is known

That our Messiah the Son of God

Came once and will return to bring us home

To this end we bless and praise God and Yeshua

And although They are one Trinity

For when you accept God's Son as Messiah

His Holy Spirit lives within you and me

As the sunset ends the seventh day

It marks the beginning of another week

Keep the Lord in your heart and mind

For through our faith it is Him we seek

If God grants us another breath or day

We pray that we make it to our next Sabbath eve

Go forth and spread the gospel of our Lord

To all the lost souls who still do not believe

In the end there is but one way

To be with God for your final rest

You must profess Yeshua as Messiah and

The gates will open you've passed the test

THE HEALING

THE HEALING

For years I was highly medicated

I had taking pill after pill after pill

I was baffled why there were so many

Not knowing what made me so very ill

I did not have a strong belief in God

Then a friend said that I should pray

And come to a Messianic Healing Service

It just so happens that there is one today

While I was waiting for my turn

I felt a presence come over me

It felt like I had been consumed

By something that I couldn't see

When the rabbi laid his hands on me

I knew exactly what I had been feeling

The Holy Spirit of God had consumed me and

Told me that there was about to be a healing

This miracle that God had performed

For I’m now free of many pills and pain

He’s given me an entirely new outlook

I'll never doubt the Lord my God again

The Son of God gave His Life for me

He said that by His Stripes I'd heal

I thank the Lord for this awakening

Now I serve Him with zest and zeal

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 are young or old

What's is in His plans well it all depends

Perhaps He will give you a longer life

That enables you to minister His Word

Maybe you have yet to accept the Lord and

Years may go by before His Truth is heard

He may call a baby or a youth to glory

Their families distraught and full of pain

But God has a higher purpose for them

In time they'll see their loved once again

No matter how much time you have left on earth

Pray to and Praise and glorify our God and King

Obey whatever the Lord God may ask you to do

To understand that abiding in Him is everything

Then when by the Grace of God He calls you

And He says that it's time to end your years

Yeshua will bring you to His Father's House

Your answered prayer filled with joyful tears

THIRD ANNIVERSARY

Today is the third anniversary of the passing of my husband, Joel Steinhauer.

He is the author of all the poetry posted here.

I'm doing my best to continue posting more of his poetry weekly if possible.

May the Lord continue to bless you and use these poems to uplift and teach each of you!

THE WRESTLER

      THE WRESTLER

A few years ago I met a very talented student

He had joined the high school wrestling squad

He won every single match that he competed in

What he was lacking was a relationship with God

He was so skilled in this sport that

People saw him as the best around

He spotted his opponent's weakness and

Then proceeded to pin them to the ground

He went to the state finals and was defeated

But he learned a valuable lesson on that day

He accepted his Jewish Messiah and was humbled
He knew that win or lose God was in his life to stay

THE NUMBER ONE PRIORY

THE NUMBER ONE PRIORY

God does works in many different ways

That you and I will never understand

But we know Him through the Holy Spirit and

We know that our future has been pre-planned

We also know that God's Son paid the ultimate price

So as Believers in Messiah our sins are washed away

It doesn't mean that we don't have to ask forgiveness

For sins that we commit or are not aware of each day

Don't judge others because we too will be judged

Avoid offensive things that we know are wrong

Our rabbi has minister on this so many many times

By act accordingly our faith will always stay strong

Stop making excuses for not coming to Shabbat services

Like it's too far or my Kids need to be driven to a game

We know that if we're too busy for God we're just too busy

When we think about it these excuses are really very lame

Serving God always should be

Our very first one priority

He controls every facet of our lives because

His Word is always will be the final authority

A good example about what I mean

Is at your daughter's ballet practice session

She takes a spill and is unable to dance at her recital

Don't you think God is trying to teach you a lesson

If your priorities had been in the right order

The Lord would surely have let you know

Her recital would have been a huge success 

Her performance the highlight of the show`

Or perhaps your son allowed the winning to score

I'm pretty sure that both of you would be very sad

If you had lined yourself up with the word of G-d

Instead his winning hit would have made you glad

By now I hope that I have gotten my point across

The order of life's priority is G-d family then you

Ask His forgiveness and He will see that you know

As a believer you know that it's the right thing to do
