A NOTE FROM THE POET

This week after I publish my weekly two poems, you're in for a special treat.  I've published a poem by fellow poet Joel Addison. The poem is quite lengthy but it is Spiritual and extremely poignant telling things as they are without pulling any punches. I really enjoyed it and I believe that you will too.

COME YESHUA COME

COME YESHUA COME

I sense the end of days coming soon when

I see such drastic changes in the weather

It’s my belief that God isn’t very happy

Because mankind can’t get along together

Yes we were given the ability to discern

But quite obviously we’ve abused this gift

This is evident when a small understanding

Always seems to turns into a full blown rift

In reality we know who the culprit is

Satan daily spreads his wicked ways

And though God gives us discernment

The devil compensates with games he plays

Although God has the power over him

He’s seeking by our faith for us to resist

We need Him to return sooner than later

To destroy satan’s ways with an iron fist

The devastation that Yeshua will pour out

Will be horrendous and it will affect us all

There’s no disputing the book of Revelation

Which finally leads to the devils downfall

It may or may not happen within my lifetime

For only God knows when the time is right

Just keep your eyes glued toward the eastern sky

As the Lord will ascend there in the day or night

Perhaps it’s just something that I’m praying for

I just feel too many signs are pointing that way

I know for a fact that after the lord does return

God’s faithful will be in for a much brighter day

A SUGGESTION FOR STILL UNDECIDED VOTERS

 A SUGGESTION FOR STILL UNDECIDED VOTER

You’ve seen all of the presidential debates

But you’re still unsure who’ll get your vote

So I have a thought for you on the subject

Think about it and then make a mental note

Four years ago President Bush’s programs fell apart

Obama was election by promising to get us back then

Four years later we’re in even worse shape than before

His reelection will only move us even further back again

Romney has fresh ideas to get us moving forward again

So if the old way doesn’t work let’s try something new

If four years from now it’s still a mess or gotten worse

Like we did before we’ll have to do what we have to do

It’s not that I’m trying to influence your vote

Look at the situation from this perspective

One constant we know is that God is in control

And this is the way that I view His directive

If we as a nation reelect the incumbent president

Status quo prevails or we could be even deeper in

It’s a sign that brings us much closer to the end days

Godly influence will let us know when it will begin

On the other hand if our votes should elect the challenger

God may feel that there’s still hope before His final blow

Because of my spirituality I choose to the second theory

I personally feel that this is the direction we need to go

So if you’re still undecided I’ll repeat it again

The very same programs won’t bring us back

Hopefully by implementing fresh new ideas

We can get this great nation back on track

But whichever candidate you decide to vote for

Don’t let rhetoric or innuendos play a big part

Ask God for His help in guiding your decision

His influence will make you look very smart

A TRAGEDY IN OUR LAND

“A TRAGEDY IN OUR LAND”

By

Joel Addison

We the people, in order to form,

A more perfect Union thought:

That all men were created equal,

Until the unborn question was brought!

                                            

Should our special inalienable rights

Be presented by “those” who can’t fight?

Who’ll defend the little ones

Whose deaths are 20 times those done by guns?

God gave us life, liberty and a quest

To fulfill our goals of happiness.

Yet we, in our pride, began our demise

God spared not His own nation of Israel

When sacrificed children’s blood was to spill.

Our land shall be given to those we hate

Because our unrepented sins are great!

The fear of A.I.D.S. and other such plagues

Are broadcast on the news

Through liberal, anything goes, reporters

That scorn the conservatives’ views!

Mockeries of Jesus Christ and child pornography

Are among the list of tactical weapons

Destroying our society.

Our worship of eye –do$$ar-TREE

Is passed on by an addiction to: T.V.

Sex, violence, murder, and theft

Are telling our children, “there’s nothing left:

Of morals and integrity”

Just “Be All that you can Be!”

God gives us grace that we may stand

Above the decadence of our land!

Help us to be strong and shout our voice

That such lewdness is NOT our choice!

“Congressmen, Senators, hear our plea,

To avoid the judgment of God’s decree…

“That, if My people, who are called by My Name

Will NOT repent of their evil game,

Their land shall I smite with a terrible plight

And swiftly as, a thief in the night!” “

To do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with thy God

Is all I required of you,

But injustice and hatred and pride you have sought

In arrogance to do!

Your banks and businesses

You’ve credited away

Your once firm economy

No longer shall it stay!

The humanist ideology

Into your schools you’ve preached

But interest paid on what they’ve said`

A demon foe’s unleashed…

Children with no respect

Thinking they know it all

Situational ethics

Morality shall fall!                

                 

God help us in these last few days

Before our Savoir comes

To heed His call and give our all

So Heaven’s eternally our home.

BIBLICAL FACTS AS I KNOW THEM

BIBLICAL FACTS AS I KNOW THEM

Let’s start with the birth name of Jesus

Born a Jew Yeshua is His Hebrew name

Jesus is a Greek transliteration of this

But translated they both mean the same

Translated both names mean Salvation and

He desires a personal relationship with you

To keep you on the path of righteousness and

Bless all of the good things in life that you do

To know Yeshua is your home free pass to heaven

Rejecting Him gets you a ticket going the other way

And once you’re there you can’t change your mind

If you haven’t already you need to decide today

                                   

Oh by the way all of His blessings that you received

Will count for naught to get you past the pearly gate

After you’re judged they are your heavenly treasures

To live in a mansion where you’ve already paid the rate

There is no need for Medicare Medicaid or Obamacare

For your reward there is no sickness pain or strife

The best thing to happen when you do get there is

Being with Father God and Yeshua for eternal life

One of the things God gave you when you were born

Was to have the ability good or bad to make a choice

You’ve seen the end results of which way you can go

I pray that you’ll listen to your inner Spiritual voice

Heavenly angels rejoice when your decision is good one

By deciding to accepted Yeshua as your Lord and Savior

Look into the mirror and  see a creation that’s born anew

It will also be quite evident by your Spiritual behavior

The journey ahead of you won’t be an easy one because

Satan doesn’t want to let you spread God’s Good News

But as we get closer to end times God’s truth will prevail

So go spread His word to the unsaved Gentiles and Jews

HOW WILL YOU REMEMBER ME

HOW WILL YOU REMEMBER ME

When I’m no longer on this earth how will you or

Perhaps I should even ask will you remember me

If I’ve ever made any sort of impact in your life

I’d like for you to thank God that He set me free

Free to do God’s bidding and His will

Even though He said it was my choice

Thank Him for His showing me favor by       

Allowing me to retain my cantorial voice

Thank the Lord for my poetic ministry that

Allowed me to share the words I was given

Through the Holy Spirit that God wanted you

To read them and that it had kept me driven

Driven to comfort those who might need it and

Those who don’t know God show them the way

When you hear my name I hope that you smile

Because in some way I even helped you one day

I’m not looking for fame or a pat on the back but

When my time’s up I’d like to hear the Lord say,

“Well done My good and faithful servant,

Welcome to heaven on this beautiful day.”

THE LORD HAS TAKEN MY PAIN

The Lord posed a question of me that came

Though the power of God’s Holy Spirit

And even though He already knew the answer

The Lord said that He still wanted to hear it

The question that He asked was this

He wants to know exactly how I feel

But since God already knew my answer

He told me that I needed to keep it real

On the inside I really feel like I’m dying

On the outside I make do the best I can

Knowing that all my strength comes from

My Lord Yeshua the Son of God and man

The lord told me to keep my faith in Him

Even stronger than it has been in the past

For the pain I’m feeling is just temporary and

When the right time comes that it will not last

God told me to just keep ministering like I have been

Because there is so much more that He needs me to do

To bring the word of the truth the light and to show the way

To the heart of unsaved Gentile as well as the unsaved Jew

The Lord said that I’d know that He’d sent for me

When it was the time for me to take that final rest

He told me that heaven’s gates would be open wide

For this faithful servant who had passed God’s test

Seeing all this before my eyes

Lord I hear you and I’ll obey

Thank you for giving me this blessing

For all this in Your Holy Name I pray

THE WAGES OF SIN

God said in the bible that

The wages of sin is death

But the Lord alone will decide

When we take our last breath

There isn’t a shred of doubt in my mind that

The Lord’s ultimate punishment for sin is hell

Until the day God decides that enough is enough

I’m sure He will make their lives a living hell as well

God also has the antidote for those who sin

It’s Salvation and it’s free of monetary cost

What you gained from the Lord will far outweigh

Any of the sinful pleasure that you will have lost

Think about the comparisons between the two

There’s eternal damnation in hell with no relief

Compared to a heavenly with stored up blessings

And all that it will cost is your faith and belief

Also while residing in your heavenly mansion

Through God’s benevolent gift of eternal life

The medical benefit that you’re entitled to is in

A realm where there is no sickness pain or strife

So now that you have the only two possible choices

Accept Yeshua and get these great things for free

Or continue your ways and be eternally damned

These are the choices which one of them will it be

If it were me the choice would be a no brainer

I would follow the Lord and be on the right path

Life is good here but heaven looks to be happier

And It’s also much better than facing God’s wrath

If like me you choose what you can see is much better

There’s one catch that I’d forgot to inform you about

By accepting Yeshua He said that you must die to self

On earth you must be prepared to possibly do without

By that I mean giving of yourself in service to God

Confessing your sin to Him if you falter in any way

Devoting your life and spreading God’s Good News

This is my wish for you that I will constantly pray

ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING

Do you know that you have an attitude

You might not realize it but we all do

Some may have attitudes of gratitude and

Others haughtiness which of these are you

If you are grateful you thank God every day

The haughty person isn’t nice to anyone at all

The grateful person looms large in God’s Eyes

If haughty He sees them as smaller than small

God always blesses those who show gratitude but

If a haughty person needs help He may look away

However that may not always be the case though

For God sees there is hope in some that may stray

This is where God begins to work His miracles

Putting someone with a sweet spirit in their lives

More flies are caught with honey than vinegar

And their attitude is changed so that it thrives

It isn’t any different in so many other aspects of life

It pits good versus evil which is God versus the devil

No matter how hard he may try to be God he can’t because

God is omnipotent so satan will never achieve the same level

ONE OF THE REASONS TO READ WHAT I WRITE

I believe that if I chose to do so I could write

Poems of biblical things that have occurred

You may even see this happen occasionally but

Mostly I write of what God wants to be heard

Just what is it that God is wanting of you

In a good many cases it’s your Salvation

Or if you’re in a quandary about a certain situation

He says that you come to Him without reservation

When you read many of these poems they are there

As a reminder that the Lord is aware of your need

And as to just when you can expect to see any resolution

He wants you to know it will all happen at God’s speed

When you read particular verses that I’ve written

You’ll know if these words were meant for you

At the same time please keep that situation in prayer

Although God knows it already He wants you to share
