Our Biggest Adversary ~
Our biggest adversary,
is our biggest accuser
for he is known to be . . .
a heart and mind abuser.
He is dangerously ruthless,
in his relentless pursuit
he is always searching for
the soul he can recruit.
Our biggest tempter,
is our biggest deceiver
for he sucked the faith
out of one time believers.
He is the ruling agent,
over all disobedience
for he is the architect
of all things wily devious.
Our biggest enemy,
is the god of this age
and he is out to destroy us
with his unholy rage!
~~~~~~~~
Be sober, be vigilant;
because your adversary the devil,
as a roaring lion, walketh about,
seeking whom he may devour:

Whiter Than Snow ~
Whiter than snow,
is your every sin
when Jesus’ blood
cleanses you within.
For when you’re washed,
in His loving grace
redemption is yours
by faith to embrace.
Once crimson red,
now like wool white
your heart with God
will finally be right.
For once you repent,
and turn from your ways
forgiveness is yours
for the rest of your days.
Whiter than snow,
crimson red no more
are your sins once you open
to Jesus your heart’s door!
~~~~~~~~
Purge me with hyssop,
and I shall be clean: wash me,
and I shall be whiter than snow.
Come now, and let us reason together,
saith the Lord: though your sins be as
scarlet, they shall be as white as snow;
though they be red like crimson,
they shall be as wool.

I’m Choosing Joy ~
Today, I’m choosing joy,
over being depressed
today I am going to be
by gladness obsessed.
I am going to fixate,
on God’s right hand
and the pleasure evermore
for me He has planned.
Today, I’m choosing joy,
over being distressed
today I am going to be
by happiness possessed.
I am going to keep my eyes,
on the thing I can’t see
so that the peace of God
will wash all over me.
Today, I’m choosing joy,
over being without any . . .
for the hope I have found
keeps joy flowing plenty!
~~~~~~~~
Now the God of hope fill you
with all joy and peace in believing,
that ye may abound in hope,
through the power of the Holy Ghost.
Thou wilt shew me the path of life:
in thy presence is fulness of joy;
at thy right hand there are pleasures
for evermore.

Attitude Adjustment ~
Lord when you find me,
in a snitty mood
and You see me
to others being rude.
Give my spirit a nudge,
and emphasize to me
how much more humble
I really need to be.
Lord, when you find me,
grumbling and whining
and my temperament
embarks on declining.
Give my heart a poke,
break the cold encrustment
so that You can give me
an attitude adjustment.
Lord, when You find me being,
overly rude or negative . . .
remind me that I need to be
to Your spirit more sensitive!
~~~~~~~~
Do all things without
murmurings and disputings:
That ye may be blameless and harmless,
the sons of God, without rebuke,
in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation,
among whom ye shine as lights in the world;

Getting Back Up ~
It’s not about the fall,
or how many times we fail
it’s about getting back up . . .
even though we are frail.
It’s not about the troubles,
that we get ourselves in
it’s about our decision . . .
not to continue in our sin.
It’s not about the breakdown,
or the times we come apart
it’s about if we emerge . . .
with repentance in our heart.
It’s not about the tumble,
or the spill that we take
it’s about us learning . . .
not to make the same mistake.
It’s not about the fall,
or the times we go down
it’s about the times we rise . . .
and turn our lives around!
~~~~~~~~
“For a just man falleth seven times,
and riseth up again: but the wicked
shall fall into mischief.”

The Reason for My Hope
I believe in God,
in all of His glorious creation
I believe He made the heavens
and the earth's foundation.I believe that man,
came from but dust
I believe it's God's image
He puts into all of us.I believe that Satan,
is the cause for our fallen state
I believe it's still his lies
he uses on us to trap and bait.I believe that man's heart,
has always been cold and callous
I believe it's full of deceit
filled with ungodly malice.I believe in Jesus,
God's only begotten Son
I believe He died and rose again
for the sins of everyone.I believe in redemption,
from our wicked, evil ways
I believe it's the blood of the Lamb
that washes our sins away.I believe in God's love,
I believe in His grace
I believe one day
God's judgement all will face.I believe in Heaven,
I also believe in hell . . .
I believe for eternity it's where
the unsaved will dwell.I believe in the hope,
Jesus imparts in me
I believe all can be saved
if these truth they'd just see!~~~~~~~~~~~~
Peter 3:15
King James Version"But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts:
and be ready always to give an answer to
every man that asketh you a reason of the hope
that is in you with meekness and fear:"Copyright 2014

~ What Can Man Do? ~
I will not be shaken,
nothing can rattle me
not even my own death
will take me, Lord from Thee.I will not tremble,
I have nothing to fear
even if I'm all alone
God is always near.I will not waiver,
on my Rock, I will stand
if I was to stumble
in His grace I will land.I will not be moved,
nothing can take away
the love I have for Jesus
from His ways I'll not stray.I will not be shaken,
nothing will take from me
the peace, faith and hope
I have dear Lord, in Thee!~~~~~~~
Psalm 62:1-2
"Truly my soul waiteth upon God:
from him cometh my salvation.
"He only is my rock and my salvation;
he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved."King James Version
