U healed our diseases U raised our dead Drove out darkest demons Fed us until it became clear Of U, is there Nothing ordinary Nothing mere
U grew and grew in power Until man's authority (held in satan's grip) Of u began to fear Staked u to a cross Took ur life so dear And then, In ignorance so sheer At ur last breath Did they cheer, Did they sneer (at ur last sigh Sent themselves To hell to reside)
So let us not today Do the same Crown Christ As your only King As our voices In heaven may ring Dear Lord Jesus To glorify and praise Only U!!
PSALM 150:6 LET EVERYTHING THAT HAS BREATH PRAISE THE LORD. PRAISE THE LORD!
I know in this world, especially in our very wealthy, money-oriented culture that is so in love with money, possessions, and pleasure, we have a tendency to deny or neglect the spiritual aspects of our lives. We are truly spirits only temporarily connected to our physical shell.
I have had several supernatural experiences, and what I guess I’m trying to lead up to is I have had three encounters with demons, very dark creatures.
The first happened many years ago when I was going through a very dark time in my life but trying to draw closer to Christ and God and the Holy Spirit. I woke up one night and a dark mass felt like it was laying on my chest. I was afraid and all I could think to do was say “In the name of Jesus of Nazareth, be gone.” It immediately was gone, left.
The second encounter was when I was on my first round of chemotherapy for my breast cancer. I was sleeping in an old recliner and suddenly woke up. I looked down and this dark person was laying on top of me. I think it was trying to look like me as a child. It looked up at me, smiled a perverted smile and asked, “Susie, what are you trying to do with this book.” I naturally was frightened but again said, “In the name of Jesus of Nazareth, be gone.” Within a heartbeat, it was gone. I was at the time working on a novel which I have finished about the divisions within our Christian churches or the denominations we have created.
The third experience came about while I was still suffering fatigue from all the cancer treatments. One night I was awake, and suddenly, a strong looking man was in the room with me. He had no color to him at all. He was black with shades of gray. I said, “In the name of Jesus of Nazareth, be gone.” He said to me, “No, it doesn’t work that way.” I immediately yelled for a second time, “Oh yes, it does. In the name of Jesus of Nazareth, be gone.” And he disappeared instantaneously.
In all three experiences, each creature reeked, literally smelled, of evil, violent destruction. There is nothing good about satan or demons. The only thing that got rid of them was to speak or call upon the name of Jesus Christ! Praise you Lord Jesus for the beauty of your face, your great and loving heart and also for your wonderful power and authority over everything in creation. Bless you Lord!! Thank you for your salvation from all of satan’s schemes against us.
It is for this I long I sigh Not I That lives But Christ that lives Within me This gift Not from us It is Heaven's Holiest decree Comes about Thru submission On bended knee
So give God as much As you can He gave His passion's best To each woman Every man For this we should Do our best And Come To understand Without Christ's giving There would have been For us no taking And now In our today, Evil's hold On all our souls Has at last been Eternally SHAKEN!!
Unfeeling Unseeing Wandering On the surface Of an earth's spinning ball Not knowing at all That they are a spirit Immortal Capable of heeding Their Holy Father's Loving call
Unknowing, They are like beasts of the field Moving with heads bowed down Seeing sensing only A dirty, sin-stained ground Unaware That they are not just Physical But Spiritual Meant to spend eternity On a different level
Of all things existing In this vast, stunning universe Only have we, us humans, Been given a rare gift Created in God's image If only from the world's dirt Our soul's eyes we would just lift Made by You, for You Through You Lord God Adoni The Almighty, El Shaddai!
So become knowing Looking up Toward heaven's Purest skies To hear your Heavenly Father's Imploring, sincere cries Before it's too late To turn away from Your dulled senses And of Him, His Son His Spirit Become totally, purely Gloriously Aware!
I may have nothing left But only whispered prayers Solitary Receiving glancing stares Still somehow I move forward
Tediously, One foot in front Of the other I feel the words Behind my back As they gather Outloud and/or In the silence
Satan Demons Their cloud forms But, Words can crush A soul, You know
Yet Another cloud Rolls down From above Made only of Pure light Cleared for Human sight If you desire To see
I clap my hands In glee In joy run forth Christ steps Out To walk His Usual course
With only one smile Raises his hands Words from between His fingers fall To water all Earth’s dry, parched Corrupted lands Bringing New Life!
So follow His Brightened, Light-filled words Glistening on The path ahead To find your Holy God And you will Have done your duty Fulfilled your sacred job!!
He went out onto the streets For it was always His Original Intention The lost to save and to seek
Sure, in temple courts He did indeed also teach But let it be known That Christ also Walked the streets Where the lost, the blind, The lame Were never beyond his reach
So take Him out there For church walls cannot Will not Were never meant to contain, Our King of Glory It's always the same story Remember, Man-made walls were Never made His words To imprison Death could not stop His Strength, Love or Grace For Jesus is alive His has eternally arisen!!!
