Better Than He Left It!!

Savior!!

May God bless your Sunday morning! I pray He would again pour out His Holy Spirit on His beloved world and once more fill it with the same fire as He did on that long ago Pentecost. May God bless and protect your day!!


Better Than What He Left It!

Be you transformed!
Brave even miraculous words
You first century apostle!
By pagan ignorant ears
Were they heard
Yet,
Even though simple, plain
Look how they set a culture
On fire!

Jesus loves you just as you are
True, true
Words from pulpits heard very often today
But
In a darkened, sin-filled condition
Never did He mean to let you stay!!

Always, always better He wants
For you
To be changed, renewed
He wants to leave you better
Than what He found you
So, go, sin no more
Let your eternal spirit soar
And
Through a Holy Spirit's Pentecostal fire
Reach ever so much higher
Leave the world a little better
Than what you found it!!!

Dry Season

Dry Season

Everyone goes through
A Dry Season
Feeling without a reason
Getting drier, drier
Stress, sorrow, pain
Roaring, growing
Higher, higher

Emotions, the body
Like dry, dead leaves
Dry, dead limbs
Will this dry season
Ever, ever end?
In the middle of the dark
No answer comes
Perhaps in this 
Season only is
Found true faith
In Heaven’s Only Son

In the middle of shallow waters
Full of only sludge
Life’s sharp, hard rocks
Oh, for a moment
Please, my next words
Do not me begrudge

Reach up for Christ!!

Always is found His glorious light
In the middle of our darkest,
Most wicked earthly fight
He will provide always
Sunlit, crystal shining waters
His provisions reach deeper
Every heartbeat
Exceeding all other worldly offers

You will bloom again
Christ will help you
Grow in faith through this
Dry season
No matter, the pain, 
The strong wind blowing
This dry breeze in
Never will He leave you,
Never will He forsake you
God’s love is still there
Heaven still deeply, deeply cares!

But, it is Personal


But it is Personal!

Up close
Eyeball to eyeball
Face to face
Chest to chest
Breath to breath
Until the second
Of your physical death
How close your God is

From the moment
Of our conception
Until at the foot
Of His throne
Our final destination
God wants and is
Close
So very , very close
Do not harden your
Heart
Like a rebellious 
Lost world
Spiritually almost
Comatose

God wants to be
Intimate with you
Every beat of your
Heart is personal 
To Him
Desiring for
All eternity
Your soul
To win
So let Him in

Let God the Father
Christ the Son
God the Holy Spirit
Be Personal with you
Your heart 
Your very soul
Recreate
Refresh and
Renew!!

Turn the Back??


Turn The Back?

I wonder sometimes
Why, Oh Why
Why so many lacks
Food, clothes, joy
But the worst
Of all, love
Could it be 
Because we've turned
The back?

To
Our original purpose 
Even though bought
With a bloody purchase
What have I refused you say?
To this very hour 
To this very day
Man still turns his back
On His Living, Breathing God
Of any questions????
Mostly without stopping
To even ask

So perverted are we,
So rebellious
But
Fortunately,
God for us
Is very jealous
In His extreme grace 
Love and mercy
Sent His son
On a great journey

To die 
On an agonizing cross
Bringing us back home
Gave us His Spirit
A deep, penetrating loan
To achieve His original purpose
Never again for us to roam
Too far out of 
His Kingdom's gates
So we may receive
Forever that first taste
Of standing eternally before 
Our Father's Beautiful, Smiling Face!!!

CHRISTMAS!!

CHRISTMAS!!!

CHRISTMAS
Is about
CHRIST
And His Birth
In spite of
His intensely
Miraculous Worth
He chose
To have all of
His beauty,
Uncontainable Power
Heavenly Glory, Light
On a rare, never seen before
Or ever seen again night
Put into a fleshly
Child-like shell
Who would have thought
They would ever have had
Such words to tell!

But such did occur
Done for the human heart 
To stir
To grab
Our attention away
From the mundane
Of each and every day
All of the world's
Daily dust
In which we seem 
To mistakenly place
So much trust

So let go of all the sparkly lights
For a few seconds
All the man-made delights
Of a secularized season
And meditate upon
God's Holy Son
Leaving all of
Heaven's Glories
To live in a darkened stall
As He willing chose
To answer His Father's call
To sacrifice His Life's Beauty
Knowing the awaiting cruelty
Still, He did it solely, 
Only,
Bravely,
Gloriously,
Eternally
To save all of us, 
The you and me!!

Unstoppable!!

Unstoppable

A pouring out
A flood through
Heaven's Gate
Nothing, no one
This Holy Power
Will ever abate
For if Almighty God
Decrees it
Then every human eye
Every soul will 
See it

No more darkness
Will rule God's planet
Christ's victory dance
Upon it
Is for all eternity, 
All of God's infinity
Totally, and in resounding
Joy
Completely
And
Gloriously
Unstoppable!!!
