The Spirit of God ~

Spirit of God,
full of truth and love
brings His peace
on wings of a dove.

Sent from heaven,
as our Comforter
in times of need
our mighty Helper.

Spirit of God,
full of knowledge
to understanding
there’s no shortage.

Wisdom You bring,
to all who desire
strength You give
to all who inquire.

Spirit of God,
Jesus’ promise to us
may in You we put
all of our trust!

~~~~~~~

John 14:26

But the Comforter,
which is the Holy Ghost,
whom the Father will send
in my name, he shall teach
you all things, and bring
all things to your remembrance,
whatsoever I have said unto you.

When Light Enters In ~

When you have faith,
Light enters in
when you have Light
you’ll have peace within.

When you have trust,
the Word will guide
when you’re Spirit lead
in God you’ll abide

When you have Truth,
you will find the Way
when the Life you follow
in the Word you’ll stay.

When understanding,
is something you need
the Word will clarify
just how to proceed.

When faith is released,
it ushers in the Light
releasing in you  . . .
God’s power and might!

Psalm 119:130

“The entrance of thy words
giveth light; it giveth
understanding unto the simple.”

Saving Grace ~

Lord, today I’m in need,
of more of Your loving patience
mine is getting weary . . .
at times, it’s hard to be gracious.

I’m requesting from You,
the fortitude to withstand
the effects of man’s rebellion
spreading all across the land.

I’m asking You to give me,
some extra staying power
so I may shine Your light
on the evilness of the hour.

I’m entreating and exploring,
for the persistence to endure
before Your Truth and Way
becomes . . . totally obscure.

Lord, today I’m going to need,
more of Your saving grace
so I can share it with others . . .
lest the antichrist they’ll embrace!

2 Thessalonians 2:3

“Let no man deceive you by any means:
for that day shall not come, except there
come a falling away first, and that man
of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;”

The Road Home ~

When we begin to wander,
go about our own way
the Lord takes notice
knowing we will stray.

As we drift off the path,
of truth and understanding
He knows we’ve departed
from the road everlasting.

He recognizes our error,
He sees that we are inapt
to seek and find for ourselves
the road that’ll take us back.

He won’t leave us for dead,
not one soul, He’d have perish
for every one that He loves
He does forever cherish.

But, He knows we are fragile,
we can’t make it all alone
so, He sends the Holy Spirit
to help and guide us home.

He waits at the door,
to restore the wandering soul
so we can stand before Him
in faith, complete and whole!

Proverbs 21:16
King James Version (KJV)

“The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding
shall remain in the congregation of the dead.”

Wisdom Above All ~

Lord, keep my eyes open,
so I may continue to see
the Truth, Way and Light
shinning down on me.

Let my ears keep hearing,
the Good News in the Word
so I may be enlightened
to the knowledge I’ve heard.

Let my heart pursue wisdom,
above all other things . . .
so I can discern for myself
the deception Satan brings.

Lord, keep my eyes open,
let me keep Your Word near
so to its instructions . . .
I’ll be eager to hear!

Proverbs 23:12
King James Version

“Apply thine heart
unto instruction,
and thine ears
to the words
of knowledge”
