Only You
Only you can lift
Out of the deepest, slimiest
Pit of despair
The broken human soul
Crushed, shattered,
Reeling, staggering
From the effects
The price, the toll
That wretched darkness extracts
Oh, he is good, that
Enemy of mine
Hounding me thru
All of my time
But you sit enthroned
Ensconced in your power
And your name
Destroying his sordid game
That prince of the air
That satan
Breathing his hot breath
In my face
From birth even unto today
But you remove
Of his evil every trace
Winning me to yourself
My pain you do embrace
My spirit you lift up
Until I can say
With joy you have filled my cup!
So come, Lord Jesus,
Come!
Do it again
As you did back then!!
My Child is Not My Child
They look so peaceful,
Serene, innocent
These sleeping children
Of mine
But for this brief period
Of time
Them just to myself
I cannot truly bind
Inscribed upon their
Hearts, their very souls
Is an image of another
By my inner voice
This I am clearly told
Coming through our bodies
As mother, father
But not by us created
They have been stamped
With the face, image of another
In one family, all sisters, brothers
With only one True Father
They are God’s children
I have been given the gift
Of taking temporary care
Each day I must give them wings
So they themselves may upward lift
Their tiny bodies & souls
He commands this is my only goal!
So with each prayer
Said by the moon’s waning light
I must release them
With a heavy sigh
Upward thru the skies
Into the all-loving hands of
Our Truest Father’s Power & Might!
Don’t Blame God
I fuss, I cuss,
I spit, I hiss
I extend my claws
Without a pause
I’ll let you have it
Then down I shrink
After a moment to think
Why did I do that?
Lost control again
I simply cannot win
Control
Over this lustful, errant
Soul
Of mine
Maybe with more time?
But no
I know
That will never happen
Not in my day
Will I ever have complete sway
Who can I blame
To mind comes the only name,
Myself, me
I am the only one I see
Standing inside, beside me
So do not blame God for
Our destructive of life behavior
Nor can you blame your neighbor
He has his own evil to deal with
God holds out his light
Love, joy peace
Always within your reach
It is Your Choice
So do not keep
On blaming God
For our compliance, our nod
Toward the darkness
I cannot Save You
Sitting on a throne
Royal blood decided
And even though angels chided
His mind would not be changed
I will go do this
Their eternal bliss
Hangs in the balance
For this they will
Have utterly no talent
I myself will save them!
So do not look to me
I too must stay on bended knee
For my own salvation to receive
On a pedestal do not place a human
I do not wish to draw you toward me.
My, man’s blood, is tainted
And although a human head
May be called sainted
Still man’s blood is impure
For none will escape that tragic allure
Sin still holds for all of us
It took the blood of the purest of all
To cleanse our darkest sins
You must follow His voice & His alone
If You truly desire to win
This battle most ferocious
we all currently struggle in,
For Only Christ’s Holy
But bloodied, clean waters
Can remove the blackened stains
Of our, (man’s), horrific sins!
Prayer
Come, Lord Jesus, Come
Come, Lord Jesus, Come
I pray you to save
Us, Me from myself
And my dark enemy’s
Cruelty & destructive ways
Help me to completely
Let go of this world
My soul & heart to renew
And hold only onto you
Your Light, Your Power,
Your Wonderful Beauty
And Your Strength to restore me to
Yourself and Your Kingdom!
Lord Jesus,
Praise You, Praise You!!
According to my adoption records I was a sensitive child. I once had an elder of a church say he thought I was a spiritually sensitive person. I know it has been a blessing in my life. I know in this world, especially in our very wealthy, money oriented culture that is so in love with ourselves, 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. 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 which was about the useless divisions within our Christian churches or denominations we have created.
The third experience came about a year ago. I am still suffering fatigue from all the cancer treatments. One night I was awake, and a very dark man was in the room with me suddenly. 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.
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.
