Morning Prayer
As I grow older
I feel myself slipping
Away
But
As I lift my eyes
This will suffice
In Your Presence
To now live
Later,
To share in
Your
Eternity’s Paradise!
Praise You, Lord God
Praise You
Amen!
Month: November 2023
You Dare
You Dare You Dare Above my head you fly Chariot wheels to rip apart the sky To bless my life so much As I approach Glory’s Throne Seeking Your love to trust But you do Daring the impossibles to do My imagination’s limits you refuse And Morning’s promise of new Mercies Every day to endlessly, infinitely renew
Simplicity
Simplicity Just You and me Sky overhead That's all I see Pleasant to exist Like this Thank You For this treasure At your right hand Your eternal pleasures! Praise You Lord Jesus Praise You!!!
Golden Cross
A Golden Cross
A cold day arose
Over a cross of gold
Never was one so sublime
Throughout all
knowledge of our history & time
But for only this one slice of a day
Would be it allowed to hold full sway
Over the Son of God
Even through all our jeers & our taunts
His holy purpose we could never daunt
Bearing all our hatred,
Toward heaven he raised
A face so bloodied & so gaunt
But even then,
Was our Lord able back to win
from the depths of dark satan's clutches
The glory of our precious souls
So that at last & in the end
We an infinity could live within
The brightness of His Holy Glow!
Living Stones!
Living Stones Living stones are we all Even if the hard exteriors fall The inner fires remain By Infinity's word sustained Proving over and over again God's beauty, His love's power Is not given in vain Each believer in Christ A living stone In a new kingdom On the rise Headed toward the purity Found only in God's eyes & His Eternal Celestial Skies!
Hope!!
I hesitate to talk about this subject, but one night I think I died. I have mentioned this before in earlier posts on this blogsite. I suffer from obstructive sleep apnea which causes you to suddenly stop breathing and your heart will stop if you do not resume breathing. Before I knew anything about this condition, I believe I died. I was jerked awake suddenly in the middle of the night, fully conscious, wide awake. All I could see was a heavy dark blackness. I could not see my body. I remember feeling confused, thinking what is happening to me then the thought came over me, ‘Oh, I think I have died’.
I felt a tinge of fear then slowly a spiral of these beautiful puffy white clouds started to spiral off in the distance. I did not want to look at the end of the spiral because the knowledge came over me that if I did there would be no going back. But I was not given a choice; I had to look at the end of the spiral. And that’s when it happened instantaneously.
The glorious, beautiful, beautiful bright light. It was everywhere. It was blindingly, blindingly bright, and the colors of the rainbow were constantly moving through it. I’ve never seen light like that before and will never again until I reach the foot of my Lord’s throne on the other side of this life’s grave. It’s as if the very light itself was alive with energy and power.
I could not see God or His face, but I could sense somewhere in that light a massive, very massive, very, very massive intelligence. Like I said, I did not get to see His face. If I had I don’t think He would have let me come back. I tried to turn away from the light so bright it almost hurt to look at it, but I had no physical sensation at all and looking down could not see my body yet I was fully wide awake. I tried to turn my head away but again was not given a choice. I had to look at the light so I turned back to it.
Again instantaneously, it felt like somebody had slammed my full body up against a brick wall with a hard boom. I felt no pain just a large jolt of force, and I, well, I was back inside my body. I took a few deep breaths and tried to move, feeling somewhat stiff. I have no other conclusion to draw but that for a minute or two I died and was allowed to see only a brief glimpse of our God’s glory.
Many people have had similar experiences. I hope this can help you with your hope for a new life after your death if you stay loyal and faithful to our God and Christ’s commands. May God bless your day and PRAISE GOD
