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 returns it will be too late

There are many different beliefs about God but
We know that only the one who lives is true
One of several ways we know this to be a fact
Is because His Holy Spirit lives inside of you

To love thy neighbor as thy self is one of the
Prime commandment that Yeshua did decree
And not just to turn the other cheek
But He said to also love your enemy

One by one satan will lose his grip because so many
New believers will ask for the forgiveness of their sins
And profess Yeshua as their Lord and Messiah  
On that very same day their eternal life begins

THE LORD KNOWS YOUR HEART



THE LORD KNOWS YOUR HEART

How do I know what I’ve titled this poem
Just today I saw the Lord’s work in action
It was something that happened to my wife
That gave us both a great deal of satisfaction

She was in the parking lot of a local Market
When she spotted a wandering homeless man
She looked all around for him a second time
The man had vanished as only the Lord can

Being obedient she had taken out money for him
She knew that it would be the right thing to do
I know that the Lord saw what was in her heart
Would you do the same if it happened to you

The Lord is with you no matter where you may go
You never know when this might happen to you
This will show up when you’re judged in heaven
So please give the Lord a right attitude to view




THE ULTIMATE UNFORGIVABLE SIN



THE ULTIMATE UNFORGIVABLE SIN

How often we’ve heard people cursing
Taking the name of the Lord in vain
Not just one time or not even twice
But repeating it over and over again

I can honestly say that I’ve been guilty of this
Especially a time long ago when I was younger
But then when I realized what I’d done wrong
I begged God’s Forgiveness with a burning hunger

There are numerous reasons why people curse
Often many of them say it’s out of frustration
With others it’s a part of every day language
But either way doing it is still an abomination

For in the bible one of God’s Commandments  
Is that we’re not to blaspheme His Holy Name
Through Yeshua all of our sins are forgiven and
Yet Sadly it’s still one that’s the ultimate shame

I’m not a theologian so I’m unsure how to respond to this
But I know a number of them and I’m sure I can find out
If you’re curiosity is peaked and you’d like an answer
The thing that you’ll need to do is to give me a shout

Send me an email and I’ll ask people that I know
I too would like to learn exactly how they feel
Understanding God’s Truth will be comforting
And I pray also that the Lord will let us heal

Whatever the answer is that I do come up with
Most likely will come in the form of a rhyme
You’ll find it one day by checking my website
But I know that it will only come in God’s time

RESPONSIBILITY

I know you’re a child of the living God
But with that also comes responsibility
To serve God however you’re needed
It often leads many leaders to futility

There are many things that are needed
To keep a congregation going strong
You need to step up and pitch in
But you already knew that all along

Not just when the Spirit moves you
You can’t just act Holier than thou
You want to be pleasing to the Lord
And I’m positive that you know how

Though I wrote this to one particular person
If they read the poem they’ll know who it is
I know that this also apples to many others
Now go and give God the Glory that is His
                                                       
When someone serves without being asked
God in turn will bless them in many ways
He knows how faithful they’ve been to Him
It will be with them for the rest of their days


I ASKED THE LORD

I asked the Lord what I must do to reach
More of the unsaved souls within His flock
He said to just keep writing as I have been
Your door will be open when people knock

I’ll always be a zealot for the Lord my God
Even though the flaws that I have are many
The Lord said that I’m forgiven of my flaws
 In His eyes it’s as though there weren’t any

I don’t believe that I can help the way I feel
All that I want to see is that sinners are saved
The devil looks to increase the world of them
Thriving on the sins of the morally depraved

The Lord God wants just the opposite of that
He made you in His image for that very reason
Like a card game love and peace has always trumped
The madness and hostility of the world in any season

I give you my heart my life my Soul Lord
I hope and pray others will see Your Light
I’m just one of many vessels in Your flock
To see that all You created turns out right
