An Upward Look ~

An upward look,
will save you
bring heaven
right into view.
Just one glace,
at Jesus alone
for your sins
to be atoned.
A vertical glimpse,
into the Light
will bring His glory
into your sight.
Just one peek,
at His undying grace
so by faith His love
you may embrace.
An upward look,
a turn of your eyes
a repentant heart . . .
a lost soul’s cries!
~~~~~~~~
I came not to call
the righteous,
but sinners to
repentance.

Gospel Mutations ~

The Gospel of Christ,
has many mutations
preached by different
denominations.
The gospel of works,
it’s all about you . . .
not about what Jesus
was sent here to do.
The gospel of moralism,
is all about being good
but, it is just another
salvation falsehood.
The gospel of prosperity,
is about being made rich
not in the blood of Christ
but by some get rich pitch.
The gospel of self help,
again it’s back to you
not what Jesus . . .
came here to do!
~~~~~~~~
For if he that cometh preacheth
another Jesus, whom we have
not preached, or if ye receive
another spirit, which ye have
not received, or another gospel,
which ye have not accepted,
ye might well bear with him.

God Is Always Searching ~

God is always moving,
looking all around . . .
looking to find hearts
He can turn around.
He’s on the look out,
searching far and wide
from His eyes no one
can run away or hide.
God is always active,
looking here and there
looking to find hearts
to give Him their care.
He is on the watch,
be it night or day
to lead back hearts
that have gone astray.
God is always exploring,
searching and pursuing
for the hearts and minds
in need of His renewing!
~~~~~~~~
For the eyes of the Lord
are over the righteous,
and his ears are open
unto their prayers:
but the face of the Lord
is against them that do evil.

The Age Of Aggression ~

We are living in,
the age of aggression
a time God’s faithful
are facing rejection.
Itโs a era of change,
a time of redirection
to the Life and Truth
a loss of connection.
Itโs a movement,
without any reflection
on seeking Godโs face
or His protection.
Itโs a period of shifting,
from God a secession
a hateful rebellion
full of provocation.
We are living in,
the age of oppression . . .
but, we who have faith
won’t fall into depression!
~~~~~~~~
For he addeth rebellion
unto his sin, he clappeth
his hands among us,
and multiplieth his
words against God.

Spiritual Air ~

Some times a spiritual breath,
we all need to take in . . .
to expel the soot and grime
of living in a world full of sin.
We need to slowly inhale,
the promises of God Word
so we can draw upon . . .
the truth we have heard.
Sometimes we all need,
to come up for spiritual air . . .
so God our hearts and minds
He can renew and repair.
We need to oxidize our souls,
with all of God’s goodness
till we’re at peace and rest
with His almightiness.
Sometimes we all need,
to take a long breather . . .
so we can remind ourselves
just why we are a believer!
~~~~~~~~
The spirit of God
hath made me,
and the breath
of the Almighty
hath given me life.
