A World Sin Cursed ~

Today we are living,
in a world sin cursed
and each day it seems
it keeps on getting worse.

But, God sent His Son,
to put an end to . . .
the dark, evil things
that wicked people do.

Today we are living,
in a sin riddled society
no longer is there . . .
a culture of godly piety.

But, Jesus can change,
hearts made of stone
for He lived and He died
so sin He could atone.

Today we are living,
in a world sin stricken
but, Jesus was God’s Gift
so all could be forgiven!

~~~~~~

2 Timothy 3:1-7

This know also, that in the last days
perilous times shall come.

For men shall be lovers of their own
selves, covetous, boasters, proud,
blasphemers, disobedient to parents,
unthankful, unholy,

 Without natural affection, trucebreakers,
false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers
of those that are good,

Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers
of pleasures more than lovers of God;

Having a form of godliness,
but denying the power thereof:
from such turn away.

For of this sort are they which creep
into houses, and lead captive silly women
laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,

 Ever learning, and never able to come
to the knowledge of the truth.

The Mark of This Beast ~

 Father in heaven,
keep my soul prepared
so to the New World order
my faith won’t be impaired.

Keep my mind alert,
to Thy holy wisdom
keep my thoughts unlike
the One World System.

Keep my mind aware,
to know it’s my choice
keep my ears opposed
to the antichrist’s voice.

Keep my feet moving,
in the direction Thy set
keep my legs running
from this World Wide threat.

Father in heaven,
don’t let me get fleeced
keep me from taking . . .
 the Mark of this Beast!

~~~~~~~~~~~

Revelation 14:9-10

“And the third angel followed them,
saying with a loud voice, If any man
worship the beast and his image,
and receive his mark in his
forehead, or in his hand,

The same shall drink of the wine
of the wrath of God, which is poured
out without mixture into the cup of
his indignation; and he shall be
tormented with fire and brimstone
in the presence of the holy angels,
and in the presence of the Lamb:”

Satan And His Clan ~

Today we need to defeat,

We need to get rid of,

Today we need to win,

we need to let him know
with us he won’t get far.

We need to take back,

we need to make known
he can’t brainwash us.

Today we need to defeat,

we need to show him

Good Morning Quote ~10.18.21~

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.

Evil Everywhere ~

I can see the evil,
I see it everywhere
there is not a place
it will not spare.

It is universal,
throughout the world
a new kind of hatred
is being unfurled.

I can hear the terror,
chilling and disturbing
it’s full of violence
bloody screams curdling.

It’s a perilous scourge,
of dread, anxiety and fear
bringing with it tyranny
the closer it draws near.

I can see the evil,
I can hear it’s gasp
tis why onto Jesus . . .
I keep a firm clasp!

1 John 3:8

The Things I Have Seen ~

I have seen morality fade,
the withering of man’s ethics
I have seen people lives canceled
by the pundits and skeptics.

I have seen a government,
become by greed corrupt
I have seen the rage of hate
on city streets erupt.

I have seen earthy riches,
turn cold the heart of man
I have seen lawlessness
disperse across the land.

I have seen the propaganda,
the promoting of hypocrisy
I have seen the erosion
of freedom and democracy.

I have seen the falling away,
of those who once believed
I have seen how the children
by education are deceived.

I have seen the fruit plummet,
far from the True Vine
I have seen the Gospel truth
become dull and benign.

But what I have yet to see,
are all the things eternal
and I know till Jesus come
all I see now is temporal!

~~~~~~

2 Corinthians 4:18

While we look not at
the things which are seen,
but at the things which are
not seen: for the things
which are seen are temporal;
but the things which are not
seen are eternal.

Afraid Of The Dark ~

When I was young girl.
of the darkness I was afraid
my bed became for me
from danger a barricade.

I would pull the covers,
up over my head . . .
tremble beneath them
with fear and dread.

I imagined a boogie man,
was coming after me
though my own eyes
never once did it see.

My father would come,
quietly into my room . . .
to calm the anxiety
that over me loomed.

His words of assurance,
there is nothing to fear
reverberated right into
my frightened young ear.

Now that I am much older,
by man’s evilness I’m dismayed
but, now it’s God my Father . . .
telling me not to be afraid!

~~~~~~~~

Romans 1:29-32

Being filled with all
unrighteousness, fornication,
wickedness, covetousness,
maliciousness; full of envy,
murder, debate, deceit,
malignity; whisperers,

Backbiters, haters of God,
despiteful, proud, boasters,
inventors of evil things,
disobedient to parents,

Without understanding,
covenantbreakers, without
natural affection, implacable,
unmerciful:

Joshua 1:9

Have not I commanded thee?
Be strong and of a good courage;
be not afraid, neither be thou
dismayed: for the Lord thy God
is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

God’s Gift of Peace ~

God’s gift of peace,
brings the heart cheer
for it knows eternity
is drawing near.

Though we are flanked,
with disorder and strife
Jesus promised to us
His strength for this life.

God’s gift of Peace,
overcomes our fears
with the assurance
of no more pain or tears.

Through we’re entrenched,
with anguish and despair
Jesus promised one day
we’d meet Him in the air.

God’s gift of peace,
brings a calm joyfulness
for Jesus has overcome . . .
this world’s turbulence!

John 16:33

These things I have

Sticky Note From God ~11.24.20~

Matthew 24:24

Holding On To The Truth ~

Jesus didn’t say to go in fear,
or to fret throughout our day
He didn’t say to sit and worry
or to follow the anxious way.

He didn’t say to pursue after,
what this world has to offer
He didn’t say to be conformed
or to be a faith scoffer.

He didn’t say He’d leave us,
or that we’d be all alone
He didn’t say He didn’t care
or be left ever on our own.

He didn’t say to be lustful,
or to have eyes like the greedy
He didn’t say we would lack
be deprived, poor, or needy.

But, satan loves to skew,
and turn Jesus’ words around . . .
so we must hold on to the truth
not the lies, he uses to confound!

~~~~~~~~~

John 8:44b

When he speaketh a lie,
he speaketh of his own:
for he is a liar,
and the father of it.”

What’s Wrong With People ~

Lord, what’s wrong with people,
wishing other’s dead . . .
who’s controlling the thoughts
going on in their head?

Why are they so full of hate,
disdain and antipathy
who’s is causing them to have
this bold lack of empathy?

Lord, what is wrong with people,
who have no compassion
who’s hardened their hearts
in this brazen fashion?

Why are they so unsympathetic,
hardhearted and unfeeling
who’s has a hold of their minds
that make them so uncaring?

Lord, what is wrong with people,
with nothing good to say . . . .
who’s keep them from finding
the Life, Truth and Way?

~~~~~~~~~~

Proverbs 8:13

The fear of the Lord is to hate evil:
pride, and arrogancy, and the evil
way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.

2 Corinthians 4:4

In whom the god of this world
hath blinded the minds of them
which believe not, lest the light
of the glorious gospel of Christ,
who is the image of God, should
shine unto them.

John 10:10

Born Into Rebellion ~

Born into rebellion,
rotten to the core
too evil to hear . . .
the knock on the door.

Rioting and destroying,
burning and stealing
too wicked to see . . .
the need for healing.

Prideful and lustful,
immoral and impure
too depraved to heed . . .
the call of a Savior.

Angry and destructive,
factious and divisive
too caught up being . . .
one of satan’s devices.

Born into rebellion,
bad to the bone
too rebellious to not . . .
cast the first stone!

Truly Loathsome~

All we humans,
are truly loathsome
we are all to God . . .
far from wholesome.

But, we who repent,
have been forgiven
and to evil we are . . .
no longer driven.

We are all wicked,
utterly revolting
we are all to God
wrath provoking.

But, we who confess,
our every transgression
are no longer filled
with sin’s obsession.

All we humans,
are detestable beings
but, we who love Jesus . . .
in heaven we’ll be seeing!

And there shall ye remember your ways,

The Bluster of Fluster ~

Some times my joy,
I need to muster . . .
whenever I’m feeling
the bluster of fluster.

For, I can get so caught up,
in the world’s fallen state
that my eternal happiness
from me it starts to shake.

Sometimes my hope,
I need to summon . . .
as I start to feel
downcast and sullen.

For, I can see the darkness,
overshadowing the Light
that my eternal peace
is hard to keep in sight.

Sometimes my faith,
I need to boost and buoy . . .
and so my thoughts, Lord
I just turn over to You!

~~~~~~~~

Philippians 4:8

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things
are true, whatsoever things are honest,
whatsoever things are just, whatsoever
things are pure, whatsoever things
are lovely, whatsoever things are of
good report; if there be any virtue,
and if there be any praise,
think on these things.

Worthy ~

Sometimes we don’t feel,
we are worthy of . . .
God’s mercy and favor
let alone His gift of love.

But, that is just a lie,
satan likes to tell . . .
for he wants to drag us
straight with him into hell.

Sometimes we don’t feel,
we are deserving of . . .
Jesus’ saving grace
let alone His undying love.

But, that is just the devil,
trying to get into us . . .
for, he is out to destroy
in God our faith and trust.

Sometimes satan will,
unsettle us with worry
but, we must believe . . .
to God we are worthy!

It’s not santa’s list,
I am concerned about
for he doesn’t hold

I’m more mindful,
with my name being
listed in the book
God is keeping.

It’s not santa checking,
if I’m nice or naughty
for he is regardless . . .
always happy and jolly.

I’m more concerned with,
any sin I’ve got hidden
so I can repent now . . .
and for them be forgiven.

I don’t really care,
what santa may think
for I know God . . .
at sin doesn’t wink!

From The Get-Go ~

From the beginning,
God loved His creation
it brought to His heart
pure joy and elation.

But, then one evil day,
satan into it entered in
introducing to man
temptation and sin.

From the get-go,
man always had a choice
to walk with God
or listen to satan’s voice.

But man chose to follow,
the ways of the devil
bringing grief to God’s heart
on every single level.

From the beginning,
God knew the mind of man
so He gave His only Son . . .
to fulfill salvation’s plan!

Genesis 3:2-4

And the woman said unto the serpent,
We may eat of the fruit of the trees

neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

And the serpent said unto the woman,
Ye shall not surely die:

How Much Longer God ~

Sometimes the reality,
of a world gone haywire
takes away all my joy
in the hairs of its crossfire.

For with all the evil I see,
and all the horror I hear
all I can do is ask . . .
why Jesus, aren’t You here?

Sometimes the truth,
of a world gone amok
takes away my peace
leaving me awestruck.

For with all the tragedy,
the death and the disasters
I can’t help but to wonder . . .
why Lord, can’t You come faster?

Sometimes the horror,
of a world gone roughshod
I can’t help but to ask . . .
how much longer, oh my God!
