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

THANKSGIVING

 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 for 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 keep 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 cidar too

When we finish the main course
The women will help to put things away
While the men go and watch a football game
Actually there are several to watch 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 some strange reason we wonder why

Before we head back to our homes
There are still two things to be done
First we help 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

DEALING WITH FRUSTRATION

 DEALING WITH FRUSTRATION

Have you ever had one of those days

When everything that could goes wrong

It may just start with something small

Like constantly singing the same song

Then you go to get on the computer and

The server has changed things around

You keep trying to get into your email

But sadly it’s nowhere to be found

So you decide to take out the daily trash

The bag is overflowing and it’s very heavy

It tears and everything falls all over the place

And your clothes get covered with gravy

Finally when you get the mess cleaned up

You open the door and the dog escapes

It makes you wonder what else could go wrong

So far your day has been filled with sour grapes

That’s the time when you need to pause

You need to take one giant step back

If the rest of the day continues like this

It’s just liable to cause a heart attack

Instead of fretting about all that’s happened

There is something else that you can do

Just turn these frustrations over to the Lord

And then you can start the day anew

The Lord will bear your burden

By yourself you can’t fix the mess

Move on with the rest of the day

And God will take care of the rest

Stay calm and go about your business

It’s amazing how it will all work out

All because you let go and let God

That’s really what it’s all about

WHEN IS A PROBLEM NOT A PROBLEM

 WHEN IS A PROBLEM NOT A PROBLEM

When I'm faced with a problem and

I can’t understand the reason why

I stretch my arms up to the Lord God Above and

Then His hand grasps mine right through the sky

He doesn't even have to ask me,

"What is it that you’ve done"

Father God already knows what troubles me

And the answer comes right from His Son

Yeshua died on a tree for all of mankind

So that His Father would forgive all sin

God's Door in heaven is always open

Your belief and faith will get you in

Put your trust in the Lord in all things

Praise and prayer is the way to do it

Then by the power of His Love and Grace

Whatever the problem He'll get you through it

So put your troubles on God's Shoulders

In the bible that is what He says to do

When you need the Lord just look around

Because of faith He'll always walk with you

I ASKED GOD

 I ASKED GOD

I asked God to take away my pain.  God said, No - It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up. I asked God to make my handicapped child whole. God said, No - Her spirit was whole, her body was only temporary.    I asked God to grant me patience. God said, No - Patience is a by-product of tribulations; it isn't granted,     it is earned.   I asked God to give me happiness. God said, No - I give you blessings.  Happiness is up to you  I asked God to spare me pain. God said, No - Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to me. I asked God to make my spirit grow. God said, No - You must grow on your own, but I will prune you to make you fruitful.    I asked for all things that I might enjoy life. God said, No - I will give you life so that you may enjoy all things.  I ask God to help me LOVE others, as much as he loves me. God said... Ahhhh, finally you have the idea. ~Claudia Minden Weisz~

EASY STEPS TO FINDING THE LORD

 EASY STEPS TO FINDING THE LORD        

Thy word have I hidden in my heart

That I might not sin against Thee

These are the words that King David wrote

In Psalms that so profoundly apply to me

I cannot quote the bible by chapter and verse

Primarily because I am legally blind

And now that I'm getting on in years

It doesn't store as easily in my mind

But God has given me the gift of writing verse

As a blessing that puts His Point across

Like how His Only Son died to forgive our sins

A winning situation that appeared to be God's loss

Then God raised Messiah from the dead

And now He's seated at God's Right Hand

He has been given all power and authority

To judge all the people from every land

One day God will send Yeshua back to us

 He will come from the east riding on a cloud

To lead the souls of true believers

Into God's Abundant Promise Land

The unbeliever still has time

But does not know how or what to do

Sincerely accept Yeshua as your Messiah

God's plan for both the Gentile and the Jew

A simple prayer and act of faith will determine

The direction that your soul will go                                                               

Through the pearly gates into Eternal Life or

Without it infernal torment in the pit below

I know that you would choose eternal life

And it comes with a few simple rules

Love God and your neighbor as yourself

He's provided you with all the tools

To read and practice His Written Word

To faithfully tithe and serve willingly

Pray and praise God and Messiah every single day 
Through the Holy Spirit to the best of your ability 

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 prayers

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

GET YOUR SPIRITUAL LIFE BACK AMERICA

 GET YOUR SPIRITUAL LIFE BACK AMERICA

If you watch TV for any length of time

You’ll see some plagiarism in the title

But it came from God’s Holy Spirit

To those sitting around being idle

I’m sure that this applies to much of the world

But Americans are the Lord’s Lat Stronghold

The Lord will bring the end time upon us sooner if

These ungodly situations should continue to unfold

Can I make you fathom this more clearly

God loves every person that He Created

It’s all the sinful things in your lifetime

That God our Father has always hated

The world we live in is controlled by satan but

He knows that the Lord is watching him as well

That’s why God wants you to walk in His Ways

The last place that He wants you to go is to hell

Father God wants you to get to know him better

Or even if you never knew the Lord before

That’s why I got this particular assignment

It’s just for you that He’s opening up the door

Get to know God by reading the complete bible

In the Book of Prophets it all leads to God’s Son

It takes you on an amazing journey that clearly shows

That messiah is a part of the Trilogy of the Holy One

The bible has all of the answers to any question that

You’ll ask throughout your entire life on earth

If you’re unable to find it just ask a Spiritual Leader

He will show you just how much God’s Word is worth

Lastly for a one way ticket to get into God’s kingdom

Confess your sins and accept the Lord as our Salvation

You’ll become a new creation that’s been born again 

I pray that God fills your life with joy and jubilation

LEANING ON THE ROCK

 LEANING ON THE ROCK

At the very moment of my darkest hour oh Lord

It looked like I had reached the end of my rope

I clung to You in prayer with all of my strength

For You are my Salvation and in you there is hope

My prayers were answered just as You promised

By faith You have helped me turn my life around

I had no doubts or fears when I sought Your help oh Lord

For I knew that on the rock I am planted in solid ground

You gave your life to absolve me of my sins and now

In You my past troubles are no longer even a memory

Here and now I will forever be Your faithful servant

Let Your Holy Spirit tell me what I can do for Thee

Return soon Lord and bring us Your Shalom

Then lead us to Your Kingdom of Eternal Life

To abide in mansions that You have provided

Where tranquility replaces all illness and stri

THE TRUE LIVING GOD

 THE TRUE LIVING GOD

Are you in right standing with

The Lord God of all creation

Or do you worship other gods

And endure much frustration

You pray to them and don't get any answers

That's a no brainer because they're not around

The simple truth of the matter is that these

Other gods are all buried in the ground

These facts are completely indisputable

There is only one who died and rose again

He Lives within in you through the Holy Spirit

For those who believe whether women or men

What is the name of this Living God you might ask

His Name is Yeshua and He died to cleans you of sins

Through the sacrifice of His unblemished blood

He brought you salvation and a new life to begin

You will be born again in the Spirit

Not reborn from your mother's womb

Just believe in your heart that He is the Messiah

Otherwise your destiny is to face the devil's doom

If you accept Yeshua willingly

He promises you eternal life

The choice is as clear as common sense

God's Saving Grace over eternal strife

THE GRACE OF GOD'S SHALOM

 THE  GRACE OF GOD'S SHALOM

When people see my Star of David

Surprisingly they ask, "Are you a Jew?"

My response to them is a resilient,

"Yes, and I am a Messianic too."

If a gentile reads both Testaments

They know exactly what I said

But too many believers do not know because

They 're taught that the Old Testament is dead

That's one reason for our Outreach Ministry to

Explain that without the Old there would be no new

Because Yeshua and His Disciples

Were born and worshiped as a Jew

On the other side of this disagreement

Is the Jew who tells me that I am not

It has been ingrained in them for centuries

Much like a brain washing or a sinister plot

If they truly had an open mind and read

every prophecy that would take place

Only Yeshua fulfilled every one of them

His blood brought hope for the human race

G-ohas given each of us a brain to think

He also gave us the free will to choose

If an unbeliever accepts Him as Messiah

It's a guarantee that they will not lose

For only then will they know the truth

That the Word of God has set them free

MessiahYeshua said, "There’s only way to our Father

In Heaven and that is by professing your belief in Me."

Jews and Gentiles Can worship the Lord together

For the God that they worship is one and the same

He is Father Son and the Holy Spirit

We Bless and Praise His Holy Name

FORGIVENESS

 

FORGIVENESS

  

I wrote a letter of forgiveness

To someone in my life

In all the years I’ve been around

He contaminated it with utter strife

 

I’ve known this person all my life

And couldn’t fathom why this should be

Whether you believe it or not

The one I must forgive is me

 

I sought my own forgiveness

By praying to the L-rd above

God’s answer came through the Spirit

He said it was through Peace and Love

 

Now I know I can love myself

For He has told me what to do

I came into that place in life

Because God knows I love Him too

GOD’S Perfect plan

 GOD’S Perfect plan

What in the world is it going to take

To rid this planet of jealousy and hate

Has satan's grip consumed so many people that

For some when Messiah comes it will be too late

There are many different beliefs in God

But we know that only the one who lives is true

Just how do we know this to be a fact

It's because the Holy Spirit lives inside of you

To love thy neighbor as thy self

Is a prime commandment that Yeshua did decree

And not just to turn the other cheek

But He also said to also love your enemy

So long as tyranny and greed exist in our lifetime

Only God is capable of turning things around

Until then we can make His Task much easier

By ministering so that His Lost Sheep can be found

Then one by one satan will lose his grip

Because so many believers confess their sins and

The day of God’s choosing when Messiah Returns

Is when eternal life for new believers begins

GOD IS LISTENING - ARE YOU

 GOD IS LISTENING - ARE YOU

Let me tell you a beautiful story

Believe me every word of it true

God knows your every though

It's happened to us and perhaps to you

Many times on the way to Worship services

We know that our conversation has been heard

For when the Rabbi gives his sermon

What we've discussed is in his word

Even though his message is for many

God is showing us what we need to do

We know that His Word is always right

Because we listen and follow through

Trust in the Lord in all things

Man will just string you along

For when you follow what God's decrees

He knows that your faith in Him is strong

ALWAYS ON READY

 

ALWAYS ON READY

 

Lately I've seen numerous friends and family pass away
Do you wonder if I think that I might be next
Well just let me set the record straight
There's absolutely no way that I am vexed
 
My early life was far from pure
But now I am a completed Jew
Yeshua took away all worldly sin
In Him I'm a creature born anew
 
And even though they are forgiven
Sin still occurs that I may not see
So I pray in the Spirit," forgive me Lord"
Daily I wake knowing that He set me free
 
I believe that I've led a good life since accepting Yeshua
And know with my last breath I've been given eternal life
I pray that God will give me more time to minister his word
To many others with the help of a very godly wife
 
Only Almighty God knows the exact day
When He will call me to my heavenly home
For now I'll just serve Him wherever I'm needed
Still spreading His word in each God given poem                                  

Compassionate Lord

 Compassionate Lord

Thank you lord for your compassion

Although you know I'd committed sin

I didn't let go and let God in a situation 

Which 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 judgement

You chose healing 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 will abide by your decisions although

I know that my flesh would 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 lead home your strays

God of mercy and compassion

Your strength is my source

Guide me father in all your ways

Keep me steadfast on the course

TIME

 time

 

Even if you don’t make time for God

He always has the time for you

Why not spend some time with Him

He’ll be happy when you do

 

Sit down and read the bible

I think you’ll be surprised

To find so many prophecies fulfilled

Much more than you had realized

 

A man called Jesus or Yeshua

Was the Messiah that all prophecies fulfilled

Including the one that was written

Telling of His death and His blood spilled

 

The offering of sacrifice to G-d

Had to be an unblemished lamb

The only one Who was that pure

Was the Son in flesh of the great I am

 

The blood he shed cleansed all of sin

The sacrifice offering was no more

He died for us and rose again

To let God’s light shine through the door

 

And when you see the pearly gates

There is but one way to get through

Act now and profess God’s son as Messiah

The gates will only open if you do

FINAL DESTINATION

 

FINAL DESTINATION

 

I bend my knees before the Lord My Maker

For He alone is my Salvation

My first allegiance is to Him

For I am a part of His Creation

 

God does not ask very much of us

Just to follow His Commandments and laws

He knows that as humans we're not perfect

And is forgiving of our many flaws

 

He also told us that He's a jealous God

Serve and exalt Him with reverent fear

He alone is the only true living God and

In His Time the others will all disappear

 

In life we are all to minister from the bible

Spreading the good news of Messiah His Son

Whose blood in death washed away total sin

For everyone professing belief in the Holy One

 

Messiah will come back one day

The New Covenant has told us so

And though we long for His return

The timing is only G-d's to know

 

From the East He will come at the shofar's blast

He will leas us back to the promise land

New Jerusalem God's Heavenly Kingdom

Each step was pre-destined and pre-planned

 

We may not completely understand it all

It is far beyond our comprehensive realm

Just to believe is a deep step of blind faith

Knowing that God Our Father is at the helm

THE PASSOVER LAMB

 

THE PASSOVER LAMB

 

 

You all know the story about when Moses

Told Egypt's pharaoh to let God's People go

And because he had a very hardened heart

Pharaoh's responded with a resounding no

 

So God brought many plagues upon Egypt but

Pharaoh would not yield until the very last one

After ordering all of the Jewish first born slain

God did the exact same thing to pharaoh's son

 

Again after saying, "go" he changed his mind

And commanded his army to kill all that flee

God parted the water and they went safely across but

Pharaoh's army was swallowed up by the raging sea

 

God commanded the Jew to observe Passover each year

Years later Yeshua came so that we could know Salvation

And at a Passover seder which was to be his very last meal

This is what the Lord said to His disciples in conversation

 

Eat of this matzo for it is My Body that will be broken

Drink of this wine for symbolizes the blood I will shed

My Life will be forfeit so that my Father forgives all sin

Both turbulence and joy will you see in the years ahead

 

This is the very reason that we celebrate communion

Remembering the Lamb of God and the fate He met

And why all believers tell of that fateful day

During Passover so that we will never forget

 

The day is coming when the Lord will return to earth

I believe that we are a part of this end time generation

Those who are lifted up and pass through Heaven's gates

Have been bestowed with the Lord God's Eternal Salvation

ENTER IN

 ENTER IN

God had decreed that the Holy of Holys

Could only be entered by the High Priest

But now through Yeshua all can go there

From the greatest to the very least

The explanation of this wondrous change is so that

When we accept Him as the Messiah of all mankind

He will in return gives us the gift of the Holy Spirit

And we can tell God directly what's on our mind

This is one of the many gifts that Yeshua gave us

When He sacrificed His life to forgive all of our sins

We have also received the gift of eternal life

From the very first day that our Salvation begins

Isn't it great that God hears us anytime day or night

Because the Holy Spirit provides the way

The quickest way to reach him though

Is when we take the time to pray

Don't selfishly pray for personal wants

For that is the mortal sin of selfish greed

By faith and through good deeds and works

God will provide everything that we truly need

One day through Messiah we'll be closer to God

What an awesome blessing for us that will be

Well live in mansions where our treasures are stored

Where the Grace of God our Father is the only key

SALVATION

 SALVATION

 

All the people of the earth seek

Salvation in one form or another

That day will only come in the Lord's time

When we recognize all as sister and brother

 

We are all children of the Living God

A fact that many people do not know

True believers still confess daily sins although

Messiah's Blood cleansed them white as snow

 

 Those who believe in God

But do not accept his son

In God's Time their eyes will be opened

And they will worship Israel's Holy One

 

Then there are the atheists and idol worshipers

Who utter, "Oh God" when they have troubles

Statues won't answer and atheists are confused

Because Yeshua Our Lord has burst their bubble

 

Messiah will return riding on a cloud

When all the people of the earth proclaim,

"Blessed is He who comes

 In His Father's Name"

 

Into God's Kingdom He will lead them

The souls of His Children will be free

New Jerusalem will be their home

In the vast forever of eternity

 

days of praise and blessings in return

 

In our daily life we must

Extol the LORD in prayer and praise

And He in turn will bless you

In many different ways

 

One way He blesses in return

Is when you tithe one tenth of what you make

He lets you keep the other ninety

It’s all in scripture make no mistake 

 

A place to pray and fellowship

Is a congregational covering

And sometimes to make this happen

There’s a need for an extra offering

 

GOD provides special talents

For each one of us to use

From the smallest little task

To spreading the good news

 

Profess GOD through Messiah

It’s an easy thing to do     

Much is asked yet much is given

In His blessings back to you

ECHAD WITH GOD

 

ECHAD WITH GOD

                              

                                     

When I pray daily to my Father God

And His Son Messiah Yeshua too

I've been given the gift of the Holy Spirit

That makes me a creature born anew

                                  

And through the gift of the Holy Spirit

Unbelievers see that I am Blessed by God

In my Spiritual walk on the narrow path

Which shows the three of us to be Echad

 

For my thoughts and prayers are Hineni Lord

I will always serve You however you see fit

You know that even if what You ask is hard

I will press forward to the mark and never quit

 

I have had an abundance of gifts poured upon me

All are used to Praise and Bless God's Holy Name

Whatever I'm able to give back does not compare

Because as a completed Jew I will never be the same

 

When my time on earth has ended

And only God knows the exact date

I will exalt the Lord even more than I did before

In gratitude for all that has been put upon my plate

                      

I'd be happy just sitting on a log in Heaven

But God said that there is a mansion waiting for me

Overflowing with His Shalom and needs no locks  

For the Lords Grace and Mercy hold the only key

THE LONG ROAD HOME

 

the long road home

 

When I was a little boy

I’d pray before I went to sleep

That if I died before I woke

I’d ask the L my soul to keep

 

As I got much older

I left such things as this behind

I became so involved with worldly ways

That prayer was the last thing on my mind

 

It was only during hard times

When I could not cope

That I would call upon my GOD

And pray that there would be some hope

 

Many years would go passing by

Before I saw the light

Though His kingdom is in heaven

I’ve never been out of His sight

 

I’ve learned that GOD is number One

In my life not two or three

And if I live my life the way He asks

He will always walk with me

 

My time on earth will end some day

My bones will turn to dust

My soul will enter the pearly gates

The reward from my GOD who loves and trust
