Before you go out,
before you begin your day
to spread the Gospel
to the people along the way.
Make sure you’re equipped,
for the battle ahead
for satan will do anything
so the Word you can’t spread.
Before you go out,
before the day you greet
make sure your prepared
to stand firmly on your feet.
For satan will attack you,
any way that he can . . .
for to the Gospel of peace
he is not a huge fan.
Before you go out,
to spread the Good News
satan’s land mines . . .
you’ll need to first defuse!
~~~~~~~~
Ephesians 6:15
And your feet shod with
the preparation of the
gospel of peace;

The helmet of salvation,
we need to wear everyday
or else the way we think
satan will begin to sway.
For, we need our minds,
protected with God’s Word
so that satan doesn’t mess
with the truth we’ve heard.
The helmet of salvation,
will safeguard all of us
from satan destroying
in God our faith and trust.
For our hope in believing,
in the things not seen
from our thoughts
satan will start to glean.
The helmet of salvation,
is a daily must wear . . .
so that we will not fall
into one of satan’s snares!
~~~~~~~~
Ephesians 6:17
And take the
helmet of salvation,

When righteousness,
is your breastplate
your faith in God
satan can’t deflate.
For, it will become,
your soul’s protection
so that you won’t fall
for satan’s deception.
When after righteousness,
you constantly pursue
satan your faith . . .
will not breakthrough.
For, you will be entrenched,
in the Life, Truth and Way
and you’ll not be fooled
by what satan may say.
When the breastplate,
of righteousness you put on
into satan’s darkness . . .
you will not ever be drawn!
~~~~~~~~
Ephesians 6:14
And having on the breastplate
of righteousness;

If the battle with satan,
you truly want to win
you will need the truth
abiding deep within.
For the truth will make,
satan up and flee
for in you Jesus . . .
he is able to see.
If the fight with darkness,
you are going to beat . . .
with the truth be girded
from your head to your feet.
That way when satan,
starts his vicious attack
you’ll be able with the truth
to fight him right back.
If the battle with satan,
is to be fought and won
we need to be braced . . .
with the truth of God’s Son!

Each day there’s a conflict,
that we need to fight . . .
a battle that’s between
the dark and the light.
But, before we go out,
onto the battle field
we must make sure
we are wearing our shield.
For, the shield of faith,
our hearts will protect
as satan’s fiery arrows
He begins at us to eject.
We will need to stand firm,
lest one may hit its mark
and turn our light for Jesus
into barely but a spark.
Each day there’s a conflict,
a clash between right and wrong
a battle that can only be won
when in Christ we stand strong!
~~~~~~~~
Ephesians 6:16
Above all, taking the shield of faith,
wherewith ye shall be able to quench

The sword of the Spirit,
we are to wield . . .
whenever we go out
into the the battle field.
For, it speaks the truth,
to a world fallen
brings salvation to all
who on Jesus call on.
The Word of God,
we need to share
to those who have
so many worldly cares.
For it will calm and ease,
their everyday worries
just knowing that Jesus . . .
their burdens willingly carries.
The Sword of the Spirit,
is full of truth and light
and we must use its power
to win the faithful fight!

A simple, easy joy,
a feeling full of bliss
an elation that I feel
a wonder not to miss.
A simple, calming feeling,
a happiness inside me
a serenity deep within
a heart full of glee.
A simple, warming feeling,
a joyousness all around
a delight in every way
a tranquility to be found.
A simple, lulling peace,
a relaxing quiet quelling
a silence filled with hope
a pleasureful feeling.
A simple, easy joy,
a feeling like no other kind
a gladness when God’s love
fills my heart and mind!

When I’m tuckered out,
when strength I need
to my Bible I go . . .
and these verses I read.
Through my faith in Christ,
I can do anything
for His strength to me
He promises to bring.
Whenever I am fearful,
I need not be afraid
for the Lord will keep me
from becoming dismayed.
When I am feeling faint,
as if I cannot go on
God offers me His strength
when mine is all but gone.
I can come to Jesus,
whenever I’m stressed
and with peaceful rest
I know I’ll be blessed.
Whenever I’m tuckered out,
the Lord strengthens my heart
allowing my hope in Him . . .
to come and do its part!
~~~~~~~~
Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through Christ
which strengtheneth me.

he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
Isaiah 40:31
But they that wait upon the LORD
shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings as eagles;
they shall run, and not be weary;
and they shall walk, and not faint.

Come unto me,
all ye that labour
and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest.

and he shall strengthen your heart,
all ye that hope in the LORD.

God of promises,
giver of all things good
help us to believe
in You as we should.
With all of our hearts,
our souls and our minds
all of Your promises

God of promises,
You said You’d never leave

No height or depth,

Nor height, nor depth,

shall be able to separate us
from the love of God,
which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Sometimes it is hard,
for us to stand still
while we are waiting . . .
to know God’s will.
The mind does not get,
the reason for the delay
causing our hearts to fall
into a state of dismay.
Sometimes it is difficult,
for us God to hear
sometimes it seems
He’s far away not near.
The silence is deafening,
it’s seems like an abyss
it feels as if our prayers
are being dismissed.
Sometimes it is challenging,
when God we can’t find . . .
tis why we must seek Him
with all our heart and mind!
~~~~~~~~
Psalm 83:1
Keep not thou silence,
O God: hold not thy peace,
and be not still, O God.

And ye shall seek me,
and find me, when ye shall
search for me with
all your heart.

Knowing God’s will,
takes a lot of patience
before He reveals
all He has awaiting us.
It takes a heart yielding,
to know just what to do
it takes a life willing
to wait till He shows how to.
Knowing God’s will,
takes a lot of believing
that His plans for you
one day you’ll be receiving.
It takes one step at a time,
made with faith and trust
for us to be able to see
the purposes He has for us.
Knowing God’s will
doesn’t come to us overnight
it takes time for God . . .
to reveal His divine insight!

Springtime is in the air,
I can feel its warming trend
brighter days and longer nights
I know are just around the bend.
I eagerly await the change,
that comes along with Spring
knowing in my weary soul
God too will begin a new thing.
Springtime is in the air,
I can see its early bloom
melting away the aches
of winter’s chilly gloom.
For Springtime brings with it,
God’s promises of revival
restoration and re-birth . . .
upon its sunshiny arrival.
Springtime is in the air,
I hope you can feel it too
for it’s the time of year . . .
God uses to heal and renew!

“For, lo, the winter is past,

is heard in our land;”

God is good all the time,
His goodness is seamless
it is unmatched . . .
tis why it’s flawless.
God is holiness,
there’s no other purer
no one is greater
wiser or truer.
God is upright,
He is always fair and just
He is gracious
tis why Him we can trust.
God is loving,
compassionate and kind
He is merciful
to all of mankind.
God is good all the time,
He is forever trustworthy
tis why He will always be . . .
perpetually praiseworthy!

God’s mercy I don’t deserve,
it’s not something I earned
nor something I can obtain
by anything I’ve learned.
God’s mercy is His favor,
His compassion and goodness
towards a sinner like me . . .
to show to me His kindness.
Jesus’ grace I don’t deserve,
it’s not something I merit
nor something I’m worthy of
or anything I can inherit.

God’s mercy offers to me,
the blessing of forgiveness
Jesus’ grace makes me
before Him blameless!

If you want to have hope,
faith you will need . . .
to trust in the facts
when your Bible you read.
You’ll need to take the position,
and to have the conviction
that Jesus is the only way
to eternal salvation.
If your are to have faith,
hope you will require
for one without the other
will only expire.
For faith without hope,
has nowhere to go . . .
and the love of God
you will never know.
Hope that is unseen,
is hard to believe . . .
unless into your heart
~ Jesus ~
you openly receive!

Hebrews 11:1
Now faith is the substance

One day up in heaven
in the presence of the Lord
our praises onto Him . . .
will be bountifully poured.
We will sing our alleluia’s,
our hallelujahs too
we will all be in sync
as if we were right on cue.
One day there will be,
a glorious wedding feast
a victorious celebration
over the death of the beast.
The outpouring of praise,
will be thunderous . . .
nothing we have ever heard
will be as wondrous.
One day in heaven,
we will sing our alleluia’s
and throughout eternity
they’ll echo our hallelujahs!

I’m pressing on,
till these problems are gone
I’m moving forward
with my eyes looking upward.
I’m trusting God,
and the guidance of His rod
I’m letting go
knowing the way He will show.
I’m going easy,
not getting faint or queasy
I’m letting God’s peace
all my fears oil and grease.
I’m believing in His leading,

I’m doing my best
and letting God do the rest.
I’m pressing on,

I’m pressing towards the goal
with all my heart and soul!

Soon the Lord will be coming,
at any time He could appear
and with Him those who believe
in the clouds will disappear.
Until such time we hear,
the trump that will sound
His return for us . . .
we must hold our ground.
For this world is becoming,
more and more of a place
where it’s harder for us
to stay in the faithful race.
For all around the globe,
no matter where you go . . .

irks and irritates others so.
Soon the Lord will come,
in the clouds He will appear
so until then good works . . .
we still need to do while here!

Called out of the darkness,
into His light marvelous
called into a new life . . .
holy and wondrous.
Called to be a witness,
wherever we might go
called to follow whenever
the Holy Spirit shows.
Called out of the world,
but, in it all the same
called to flee wickedness
for the sake of His name.
Called to not be fearful,
nor to be afraid
called to be peculiar
so not to be dismayed.
Chosen by God Himself,
to be for Him ~ His light . . .
chosen to put on His armor
and fight the faithful fight!

If all things with God,
are truly possible . . .
then nothing to Him
is ever impossible.
Not one thing is too hard,
for Him to go do . . .
for He parted a sea
when He wanted to.
He can turn water,
into brand new wine . . .
there’s nothing He can’t do
for His power is divine.
He can with one fish,
feed a whole crowd
He can still raging waves . . .
calm down a stormy cloud.
If all with God is possible,
if there’s nothing He can’t do
just think what He will . . .
do with me and you!

Not only does God forgive,
He too completely forgets
every one of your sins
along with all of your regrets.
He blots out your mistakes,
and every transgression
once to Him you give Him
your heartfelt confession.
He remembers no more,
your past evil misdoings
He removes the wickedness
of your wrongdoings.
He throws behind His back,
your misdeeds and distrust
and all of your actions
He would consider unjust.
God forgives and forgets,
and you really must too . . .
by focusing on what’s ahead
not what is behind you!
~~~~~~~~
Isaiah 43:25
I, even I, am he that blotteth
out thy transgressions for mine
own sake, and will not
remember thy sins.
Psalm 103:12
As far as the east
is from the west,
so far hath he removed
our transgressions from us.
Philippians 3:13
Brethren, I count not myself
to have apprehended:
but this one thing I do,
forgetting those things
which are behind, and
reaching forth unto those
things which are before,

My God is so great,
His name is the greatest of all
my God is the King of Kings
all others are weak and small.
My God is so great,
His deeds are untouchable
my God is powerful
His purposes are unstoppable.
My God is so great,
He is victorious and courageous
my God is mighty
He is merciful and gracious.
My God is so great,
He is so kind and loving
my God is tenderhearted
His mercy never stops flowing.
My God is so great,
His love is without measure
my God is faithful . . .
He is my greatest treasure!

Jeremiah 10:6
“Forasmuch as there is none
like unto thee, O Lord;
thou art great, and thy name
is great in might.”

When we’re on a mountain,
our egos musn’t get inflated
otherwise when in the valley . . .
our hopes will get deflated.
For through life’s highs,
it’s easy to be on the top
but, when a low hits us . . .
into depression we will flop.
When things are going well,
we can be so joyful . . .
but, when troubles come
our hearts become fearful.
For through happy times,
it’s easy to be up
but, when doubt hits us . . .
we go down in the dump.
Mountain tops are great,
there’s such a glorious view
but, don’t let the valleys . . .
dismay or frighten you!
~~~~~~~~
Deuteronomy 31:8
And the Lord,
he it is that doth go before thee;
he will be with thee, he will not
fail thee, neither forsake thee:
fear not, neither be dismayed.

When we are in heaven,
there’ll peace forever more
no longer will we be . . .
with satan in a holy war.
There’ll be no more pain,
weeping or crying . . .
no more to the old man
daily denying and dying.
When we are with Jesus,
our sins will not haunt
no longer will our joy
be sluggish or gaunt.
They’ll be endless glee,
lots of praising and singing
onto our heavy burdens
we’ll no longer be clinging.
When we get to heaven,
we will be free at last . . .
gone will be our memory
of all the days of our past!
~~~~~~~~
Isaiah 65:17
For, behold,
I create new heavens
and a new earth:
and the former shall not
be remembered,
nor come into mind.

Once you receive Jesus,
God’s child you become
a heavenly inheritance
will be the outcome.
Now from all forms of sin,
you will willingly flee
for a friend to the world
you will no longer be.
Good works you will do,
without any hesitation
for you’ll see right through
satan’s lies of deception.
Your mind will be renewed
as you seek His perfect will
with the full understanding
it’s best to wait and be still.
Once you receive Jesus,
to God you will be a delight
for you now live a life . . .
that is pleasing in His sight!
~~~~~~~~
John 1:12
But as many as received him,
to them gave he power to
become the sons of God,
even to them that believe
on his name:

I did not ask for this,
it’s nothing I want . . .
but, God for His reasons
this hardship He brought.
I Know it’s up to me,
to learn from it and grow
but, I’m going to need Him
the way out of this to show.
I didn’t see this coming,
it blind sided me . . .
but, God knew it would
open my eyes to see.
See what He wanted,
for me to find and detect
so that Him and I
could better connect.
I did not ask for this,
but, I am glad it’s here
for God it’s bring me . . .
to You closer and near!
~~~~~~
James 4:8
Draw nigh to God,
and he will draw nigh to you.
Cleanse your hands, ye sinners;
and purify your hearts,
ye double minded.
1 Peter 5:7
“Casting all your care upon him;
for he careth for you.”

Once I was broken,
beaten and down
then came my Savior
to bring me around.
Who would believe it,
who would have known
Jesus thought of me . . .
as one of His own.
He lifted me up,
high off the ground
making my steps
solid and sound.
Heavenly blessings,
He wants to give
sinful indiscretions
He came to forgive.
He lifted me up,
high off the ground
making my steps
solid and sound.
Angels of mercy,
He sends my way
helping me to walk
on these feet of clay.
Once I was broken,
beaten and down . . .
but, because of Jesus
I’ll receive life’s crown!
~~~~~
Psalm 40:2
“He also brought me up
out of a horrible pit,
out of the miry clay,
and set my feet upon a rock,
and established my steps.”
James 1:12
Blessed is the man that
endureth temptation:
for when he is tried,
he shall receive the crown
of life, which the Lord hath
promised to them that love him

The peace of God transcends,
anything we can perceive
and so sometimes . . .
it’s hard for us to receive.
But, if we were to let,
our hearts become still
and focus in on Jesus
our minds peace would fill.
The peace Jesus left us,
in this world can’t be found
no matter where you look
you won’t find it around.
But, if we keep our hearts,
troubled and worry free
what keeps us from His peace
would from our minds flee.
The peace of God exceeds,
what we will ever know . . .
unless in prayer to Jesus
we every day will go!
~~~~~~~~
Philippians 4:7
And the peace of God,
which passeth all understanding,
shall keep your hearts and minds
through Christ Jesus.
John 14:27
Peace I leave with you,
my peace I give unto you:
not as the world giveth,
give I unto you.
Let not your heart be troubled,
neither let it be afraid.

When my soul is thirsty,
as if it was in a drought
to God I go right to . . .
with all my fear and doubt.
For I know He’ll guide me,
through this arid place
and give me the direction
for staying in the race.
When I’m feeling weary,
and my soul feels bone dry
when with every move
all I want to do is cry.
I know the Lord is with me,
and He won’t let me fail
as He continues to guide me
on the righteous trail.
When my soul is thirsty,
when I feel I’m on the brink
the Lord satisfies me . . . .
with living waters to drink!
~~~~~~~~
Isaiah 58:11
And the Lord shall guide thee
continually, and satisfy thy soul
in drought, and make fat thy bones:
and thou shalt be like a watered garden,
and like a spring of water,
whose waters fail not.
