Standing For The Truth: Standing On The Promises

I look around what do I see? Hateful eyes glare back at me. Those evil men with knives in hand, will kill us all who dare to stand. Yet for the truth I'd stand alone, and let them break my every bone. It would be painful, hard, and tough, in the end I'd still stand rough. The Battle would be long and fearsome I'd grow weary and quite drearsome. But to God be the glory, though the battle may be gory, it would be well worth, for the God of all the earth. And Heaven, all thing therein, are free from mortals sin. They cannot loose but only win for there no sin can enter in. My body they may kill, no worry, God's love remaineth still. For all that's truth and spirit cannot die, obvious to some is the reason why. Others reasoning's less than right, will they ever know God's Might?

Free To Fly

Lord set me free to fly for you
I am weak give me strength
To break the chains that hold me
Lord I can see the truth,
I try to reach it
I feel it in my hand,
Then I loose my grasp
Lord let me hold tight to that truth
Free me, free me God
Guide me, help me, let me,
Live a real life
I can see it let me be it
Teach me how
I desire it now Lord
I may forget and fail
But remember this...
Let mine life be thy will.

What Really Matters

I sit here, shivering and writing with a pencil sharpened by my pocket knife. Three candles around me are just close enough to lend light without singging my hair. These candles, since there are three of them remind me of the Holy Trinity; Father, Son and Holy ghost. I am quite content, for I know some of the greatness of God, and his ever extending mercy. For I am saved by grace through faith in Christ Jesus. No work of mine has saved me, only God's gift of grace. Once I was lost, but now I see the truth of what really matters in life. I feel like I have the whole world figured out. Perhaps, as some would say (especially older people), I merely think this way because I am in my teen years, foolish and feeling invincible. Perhaps, since I am young and perceptive I actually do have a better handle on the reality of the world. I believe young people do have this ability that the older generation is blind to and cannot remember. Every young generation has a better grasp on the world in the time they grew up. I try to view the world as if I am neither male nor female nor any particular age....I seek the truth independently without much regard to others thought....What really matters in life are our family and friends, but really every person. God, Jesus, the truth, the way, and the life are like cornerstones supporting the house of life. Be the best you can be by God's standards, do not stoop to expectations of others. God's standards do include obeying the government and parents (no matter what their, or your age). It may be said that I am old enough to make my own decisions, I don't have to listen to parents anymore.' Obviously, or not so obviously the moral of the story is to be in a good relationship with your parents (and everybody). Yes, one does need to live their own life. The key to success is balance, moderation, and zeal for the Truth of God. Also remembering that all truth is God's truth. Wordly pleasures, treasures, etcetera are the greatest thieves of our heart. Yeah, keep God first in your heart, not just as a final goal, but everyday. Back [to] the basics, the simple life, that's where Jesus Christ is easily found.

The World In Two O Twelve

Disasters strike, a new one every day, suffering it seems is here to stay. By candlelight, I see to write, the power is gone out, no electricity this night. The void of the night, is greater to the right. To the left I see, O great despair, the greatest light this dreary plight. A fire sure and raging, the battle is engaging. This terror is the end of times come near, there is much to fear. Cling to those you trust and love. To know the truth, God is above.

Why the terror, why the the hate, why the pillage and the rape? The Nation follows lust and greed to fill its sick perverted need.

Is Hell on earth?
Not quite.

For here we still all have the chance to come to Christ, the way,  the truth, the life. The time is running out; remove your heart's great doubt. Make belief and action one, until short life on earth is done.

With all this great disaster, what are the demons after? Souls, souls deceive and lie, they want your souls for the heart of Hell's desires. Why why the people cry, all we want is not to die. Well die you will, and suffer still, pain inflicted, very sore. Why death and suffering are a must, or else the love of God expires.

We choose to hate we choose to love. What in our heart we plant, we reap, that's why the lost despair and weep.

This most terrible mess, we must repent and soon confees, or else we will face unprecedented unrest. The worms will knall the fire burn and in our soul the suffering churn. Our flesh will boil blast and rot, what could be God's has gone to pot.

Prayer From Hell

From Hell's great depths the cry is rising, lost souls own lives they are despising. Oh Man! I sure regret a lot, my life has come to nought. And worse than naught, how I have endangered others thought. For them also I too must suffer, I the leader, lead astray others found in Hell fires way. O look, O Lord please save my children, let them know religion was not made by man. Tis real indeed, for here in Hell I am.

Merciful Lord help those who live lives dead to truth, make fit their mind and soul for godly use. Amen.

Here There Then Now

Everything is around me, everything is within me. Nothing is within me, nothing is outside me. The seeming contradiction is yet not a contradiction. God is above, God is among, I am with God. I am not above nor am I among. Birds fly south for the winter and north for the summer, north for the winter and south for the summer. Come within come without, what is it that this poem's about? It is and it is not, it could and it could not, it was not and it was. Seemingly, seemingly not. What? What not? I am in the world, the trees are in the world, I am in the tree, seeing all the world. All the world to me,  for only a small portion may I see. The trees are in the earth, I am in the trees, I am not in the earth, but I am in the trees which are in the earth. Of sea and sky, land, water, fire what is it that all men desire? Is it pleasure or the absence of pain, is it freedom to choose, or freedom from choosing? Birth to death or rebirth from death? Above and beyond the far frontiers drawn. Above and beyond our simple lives we yawn. When will the truth on the night of conscious dawn? When will the ending stop and starting end? The day when all is over not again.

Prayer Answered

Almighty God thank you for all that you have done for me in my life. Help me to go and do throughout my life what you want me too. Help me to not limit myself or you by the expectations and false limits of the world, but God that only you would set limits and expectations in my life. Be with me as and when I study and take my finals, and when I start my new classes for the last half of 12th grade and when I go to college next fall. Help me to live as a true Christian and thank you that this is possible because of Jesus Christ. Lord let him be the way, the truth and the life for me. Help my car to run well until I have more money not too worry about it. But even then help me to remember what is important and not waste money on worldly possessions. Be with me and guide me always Lord, if I stray bring me gently but surely back to you. Amen.
