The Deceitful Heart ~

The deceitful heart,
thinks it is good
cannot relate . . .
to this falsehood.

For at its core,
wickedness lies
keeping it from
becoming wise.

The deceitful heart,
thinks it is greater
then the one . . .
who is its creator.

For it tells itself,
it knows better
by believing in
its own chatter.

The deceitful heart,
won’t give Jesus the reins
for pure evilness
runs through its veins!

~~~~~~~~

Jeremiah 17:9-10

The heart is deceitful
above all things,
and desperately wicked:
who can know it?

I the Lord search the heart,
I try the reins, even to give
every man according to his
ways, and according to the
fruit of his doings.

Disgust And Dismay~

With all that’s happening
in the world today . . .
it is hard not to feel
disgust and dismay.

For what we are seeing,
no eyes should witness
for it shows the depth
of man’s evilness

With all that’s going on,
in this world everyday
one can’t help to see
the amount of decay.

For what we are seeing,
can never be undone
as it shows the hatred
that’s being homespun.

With all that’s occurring,
in this world on a daily bases
one cannot deny . . . .
the wickedness in high places!

~~~~~~~~

Ephesians 6:12

For we wrestle not against
flesh and blood, but against
principalities, against powers,
against the rulers of the darkness
of this world, against spiritual
wickedness in high places.

Born Of God ~

Born of God,
a sinner of the past
holding onto . . .
my faith steadfast.

The evil one,
cannot touch me
under his power
no longer willing to be.

Now I am of God,
I have His protection
for He gives to me
truth and direction.

The world’s no longer,
a place I call home
for it’s where man’s
wickedness roams.

A child of God,
from sinning set free
now that Jesus . . .
lives inside of me!

~~~~~~~~

1 John 5:18-20

We know that whosoever
is born of God sinneth not;
but he that is begotten of
God keepeth himself,
and that wicked one
toucheth him not.

And we know that we are
of God, and the whole world
lieth in wickedness.

And we know that the Son of God
is come, and hath given us an
understanding, that we may know
him that is true, and we are in him
that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ.
This is the true God, and eternal life.

God’s Gift To Believers ~

God’s gift to believers,
is Jesus inside of you . . .
His strength and might
for everything you do.

For without Him inside,
we would be powerless
to fight off the rulers
of the present darkness.

God’s gift to believers,
is His Spirit living in you . . .
to help you hold on to
all that is pure and true.

For without His guidance,
we would be helpless
to battle the authorities
of today’s evilness.

God’s gift to believers,
is having eternal hope . . .
to help us each day
with the enemy to cope!

~~~~~~~~

Ephesians 6:12

For we wrestle not against
flesh and blood, but against
principalities, against powers,

This Is A Test ~

This is a test . . .
to see if we are willing
to see if we can withstand
their shameful grilling.

It’s a test of our faith,
our hope and our trust
by those who want to take
control over all of us.

This is an experiment . . .
to see if we will obey . . .
to see if from our beliefs
we’re willing to fall away.

It’s a test of our freedoms
our rights and our liberties
by wicked, evil forces
and godless authorities.

This is a test . . .
to see if we will conform
to the word’s ways
so to them we’ll transform!

~~~~~~~~

Romans 12:2

And be not conformed
to this world: but be ye
transformed by the
renewing of your mind,
that ye may prove what
is that good, and
acceptable, and perfect,
will of God.

A War On Freedom ~

There’s a war going on,
between God’s Kingdom
and the evil forces trying
to take away our freedom.

It’s a conflict of dominance,
of making good out of evil
fought by those who openly
want to make sinfulness legal.

The powers from up high,
are out to destroy you
by making you do and say
things you do not want to.

The battleground is dark,
to the mind dangerous
the arena is hyper-political
to the soul treacherous.

There’s a war going on,
the consequences are dire
it’s a choice of eternal life . . .
or one filled with hell’s fire!

~~~~~~~~

Romans 13:12-14

The night is far spent,
the day is at hand:
let us therefore cast off
the works of darkness,
and let us put on the
armour of light.

Let us walk honestly,
as in the day;
not in rioting and
drunkenness,
not in chambering and
wantonness,
not in strife and envying.

But put ye on the
Lord Jesus Christ,
and make not provision
for the flesh,
to fulfil the lusts thereof.

All Is In God’s Control ~

Lord, I am so thankful,
all is in Your control
oh, how knowing this . . .
my heart it consoles.

For, if it weren’t for You,
being all knowing
I would be alarmed . . .
at the way things are going.

Lord, I am so grateful,
Your wisdom is without limit
oh, how unearthing this . . .
calms my restless spirit.

For, if I did not believe,
You have a perfect plan
I would be frightened . . .
by the evilness of man.

Oh, Lord I am thankful,
everything You control . . .
will work out for the good
of each and every soul!

Romans 8:28

And we know that all things
work together for good to
them that love God, to them

The World’s Wilderness ~

The world is a wilderness,
with strange and eerie places
and I could not travel in it . . .
without Jesus and His graces.

I know I would get lost,
in the darkness in front of me
for, without His saving light
the wickedness I’d not see.

The world is a wilderness,
with dark and scary pathways
and I would stumble on them
if Jesus wasn’t with me always.

For, I would not be able to see,
the clear and present danger
of following after those . . .
who were to Him a stranger.

The world is a wilderness,
I need to navigate through
tis why I keep my Shepherd
and His flock in my view!

~~~~~~~~~~

Psalm 78:52

“But made his own people
to go forth like sheep,
and guided them in the
wilderness like a flock.”

Sin is Still Sin ~

Oh, my worldly friends,
don’t you be deceived
the meaning of sin
is often misconceived.

Sin is still sin,
no matter what some may say
changes to the Word of God
won’t stand up on judgment day.

Sin is still dark and evil,
it’s full of greed and pride
don’t you believe for a minute
sin from God you can hide.

Sin is still vile and wicked,
it’s coveting and lusting
and in the eyes of God  . . .
all of it to Him is disgusting.

Repentance is,
what you need to do
so Jesus from your sin
can forgive and free you.

So, my worldly friends,
repent and sin no more
lest with satan your soul . . .
will till the end, be at war!

~~~~~~~~~

Matthew 4:17

“From that time
Jesus began to preach,
and to say,
Repent:
for the kingdom
of heaven is at hand.”

I Trust Thee Lord ~

Forever Lord,
I will trust Thee
no matter what
happens to me.

I will trust Thee,
when its stormy
I will trust Thee
when its balmy.

I will trust Thee,
when its serene
I will trust Thee
for the unseen.

I will trust Thee,
when its peaceful
I will trust Thee
when facing evil.

I will trust Thee,
when I’m weak
I will trust Thee
when all is bleak.

I will trust Thee,
with my life
I will trust Thee
through the strife

I will trust Thee,
like no other
I will trust Thee
more than my brother.

I will trust Thee,
when under attack
I will trust Thee
for all I lack.

I will Trust Thee,
when I’m ill
I will trust Thee
to be still.

Forever Lord,
I will trust Thee
for Your strength
lives in me!

God Sees All ~

God sees everything,
there’s nothing hidden
He sees every person
who is sin driven.

He sees the wicked,
the trouble they cause
He sees from boasting
they never take a pause.

He sees the ungodly,
set up their snare
He sees their hatred
erupt and flare.

He sees the sinful,
devise evil demands
He sees they follow
satan’s commands.

God sees the unrighteous,
their evil, dark ways
He sees their future . . .
come judgment day!

~~~~~~~

Psalm 10:11-14

” He hath said in his heart,
God hath forgotten:
he hideth his face;
he will never see it.

Arise, O Lord; O God,
lift up thine hand:
forget not the humble.

Wherefore doth the wicked
contemn God? he hath said
in his heart, Thou wilt
not require it.

Thou hast seen it; for thou
beholdest mischief and spite,
to requite it with thy hand:
the poor committeth himself
unto thee; thou art the
helper of the fatherless.”

Prayer for the Persecuted ~

Lord today I pray,
for Your healing hand
to reach across each sea
to stretch over every land.

I pray for each person,
who knows and loves Thee
for Your strength and courage
as their homelands they flee.

I pray for the persecuted,
for those dying each day
just because they believe
in the Life, Truth and Way.

I pray for the oppressed.
for the ones being abused
for those who are tormented
those being falsely accused.

I pray for all who suffer,
in the enemy’s evil hand
I pray for Your healing touch
over each downtrodden land.

Lord today I pray,
for mankind every where
for You to give them peace
in the midst of their despair!

Perfect Instructions ~

God’s Word teaches me,
with perfect instructions
it leads me away . . .
from evil destructions.

His Word is my light,
so in the darkness I can see
the sinfulness and wickedness
everyday surrounding me.

God’s Word is the truth,
there are no if’s or but’s
I know to follow it . . .
there can be no short cuts.

His Word is His promise,
of things yet to be
it shows me how faith
is more than what I see.

God’s Word teaches me,
the right way to go
it holds everything . . .
I’ll ever need to know.

I know I need to hear,
His Word everyday
but unless I am a doer
I’m bound to go astray!

and not hearers only,

I Don’t Want to See ~

Lord, though my eyes can see,
at times I wish I were blind
so I didn’t have to watch . . .
the destruction of mankind.

I don’t want to be an observer,
to the cruel and evil things
happening everyday in the world
nor the destruction it brings.

I don’t want to be an onlooker,
to those who are oppressed
nor be a bystander while others
freedoms are being suppressed.

I don’t want to be a viewer,
to the gory executions
nor be an armchair eye-witness
to the hateful persecutions.

Lord, I thank you for my sight,
but, all I really want to  see . . .
is the Truth, Life and Way
to come and set the world free!

I am the way, the truth, and the life:

Unborn Sacrifices ~

On the altar of lust,
built upon immorality
sacrificing unborn babies
has become our new reality.

To the world, they’re just tissue,
to God, His very own creation
yet, we terminate their lives . . .
in the name of legalized abortion.

One by one we disregard,
their tiny body parts . . .
sell them to those interested
in livers, kidneys and hearts.

Whatever the cost or profit,
these tiny body parts bring in
it will not be worth the price . . .
when God judges this murderous sin.

If Planned Parenthood could sell a soul,
I believe they would really try to
but, God they can’t barter with . . .
what from the start belonged to You.

Oh, Father please forgive them,
for they do know ~ what they do . . .
while over red wine and a salad
on their evil plans, they sip and chew!

~~~~~~~~~~~

Psalm 106:35-38

” But were mingled among the heathen,
and learned their works.

And they served their idols:
which were a snare unto them.

Yea, they sacrificed their
sons and their daughters unto devils,

And shed innocent blood,
even the blood of their sons
and of their daughters,
whom they sacrificed unto
the idols of Canaan: and the
land was polluted with blood.”

These Evil Days ~

In this world today,
evilness is all around . . .
and we must be sure
in the Gospel we’re sound.

We must use the time,
to find what is God’s will
we need to learn to wait
to trust and be still.

We need to understand,
God’s purposes and plans
we must choose to leave
everything, in His hands.

We need to ask God,
for His help in all things
we must let the Spirit lead
no matter, what life brings.

In this world today,
evilness surrounds us
we must redeem the time
with Godly wisdom and trust!

~~~~~~~~~

Ephesians 5:16-17

” Redeeming the time,

  Wherefore be ye not unwise,
