I CAN SEE IT!
I can see it,
but I can't touch it; and You want me to be clothed in it.
O, the pearl of
greatest price, the glory, and the righteousness of Christ.
You said,
"I am come to give you life and that more abundantly,"
this is eternal
life, the life of the Spirit of Christ in Me.
I can see it,
but I can't touch it, bogged down by this world's things.
My mind a
whirling mass of clutter, of chaff and other things.
I can see it,
but I can't touch it - what Lord shall I do?
My mind is
split in half, Lord double-minded, too!
To many things
upon me, this world is such a snare,
I want to live
for Jesus only -my focus, love, and heart always and forever there.
How then shall
I come to You and bridge this wretched gorge?
How, O how,
Lord Jesus, I want to know you more!
To seek You and
to know You, to walk with You is life.
To know You and
to love You in Spirit and in truth.
To live the
life eternal, to kiss The Son and live,
to circumvent
His anger by living just for Him.
If we should
walk in Him greater things than these to do, we'd surely
Walk on water,
heal the sick, raise the dead, give sight to the blind, and preach
the gospel too.
The Spirit is
life, the flesh profits nothing, Lord, set us captives free,
And purge our
minds with Holy fire, turn us back to thee.
Take this
world's cares and deeds, and crucify them to us,
that we would
live in Christ alone, and snares not hang onto us.
Kiss the Son,
lest He be angry, and you perish from the way,
When His wrath
is kindled but a little, blessed are they that
Put their trust
in Him. Serve the Lord with fear and rejoice
With trembling,
no more lukewarm walk with Christ, for He
Is everything...

THE WITNESS
In the process
of time and in the course of events...
Oh, goodly
gentlemen, God has seen fit to take unto Himself, the Bride whom He
has longed for these many centuries. It was His doing, and marvelous
in His eyes. Not that these whom He has taken had been 'ever
perfect', but at once when they finally perceived Him to whom they
were betrothed, the Precious Christ, who bore them at the place of
death! They steadfast, and quickly arose, and made themselves
ready! Washing in the Blood of the Lamb - "Christ" -
then adorned themselves in the purest of wedding gowns. The sparkling
white robe of the righteousness of Jesus. Thus She had purified
Herself. So at the time of readiness, She truly was a pure, and
spotless Bride - completely without spot or wrinkle.
Long before
their removal, however, they were often times the most out of place
of all people that you could imagine. They talked about this Jesus,
in whom they said they believed, and even I believed in this Jesus
that they spoke of. I instinctively knew it was true. But
they evidenced such a coldness toward outsiders that I could not get
over it! Oh, they often spoke of the Lord, but He seemed harsh at
times, and judgmental, I suppose a God who is Holy would have to
judge somewhat harshly. But again by instinct, I knew that this
God, even 'The God,' must be a merciful, and forgiving God . Hadn't
He forgiven so many of them? And some of the things that they had
done, even when they were "saved", [as they said.]
Anyway, I could
not get passed the things they did and there seemed to be such a
pride about them, And some put on an Air of Humility, that seemed so
rotten, I don't know! It just didn't add up you know? And it always
seemed like this Jesus they talked about was so far away. Many
times being around them they would say things they believed, because
their Bible said it. But watching and listening to them you knew that
they really weren't sure about 'many' things at all. I guess that
that is why they acted and talked the way they did.
I suppose the
world's impact on their eyes and ears, you know, the violent movies,
all kinds of perversions, 'Startling' scientific discoveries, and
technologies, I suppose they, too, were a bit fooled as we were into
thinking - this is it! You know, the great frontier of the mind of
Man! A conqueror of "all". But, Man! We
could never conquer death! No matter what men did, to try to stop it,
Death came to all.. making every accomplishment, and every endeavor
seem so pointless!
You know that
is 'one' thing that I remember some of them said , 'the bolder ones'
always said, "The wages of sin is death!" And that
all men die and then comes the judgment. So somehow I understood that
all of death, comes from sin. And all men sin, so death comes to all
men! Listen to me! No technology or science could ever
change the fact of Death!
Except .., this
one man who they spoke of - Jesus. Who came to earth as a man, born
of a woman, but without an earthly Father. Did not inherit sin,
and death. But, they said' He became death for us, that is He became
sin for us, in that He bore our sins on the cross! And since death
had no power over Him, He being sinless, conquered sin and death,
and arose from the dead. My friends, this is one thing that
they all knew! They always spoke of this, as a surety. Not ever
doubting it at all! Even their children, knew this, as well as the
most timid of their number.
They spoke of
Jesus coming back, in the clouds as He left; and His taking to
Himself His bride that is the Church. Now you know as well as I
do, that for most of the time since Christianity began, these people
at times seemed way more confused than the remainder of us who knew
no God at all. Thus they did not live up to the standard that their
claims seemed to require. It was all quite puzzling, until a short
while before they all disappeared. It seemed to me that all of those
I knew who followed the 'Way' of Christ, it seemed as though they
finally saw, or knew, who they were, and just where they were going.
Then everything
changed! They became 'so REAL' in their faith! And so full of
love and kindness! Some hated them the more, but some who had
hated them before were swept right into their number. I
remember that there was an awesome sense of glory, and love, and
grace that followed them wherever they went.
I became
convinced really that whoever this God, this Jesus, was that He is
Real. And I know even today that He is Real. Because I have known
many people in my life, And I noticed that Men don't change!
They just don't! And here all of these people, suddenly changed
- and for the better! This also is unheard of, and very
contrary to nature, and to men. With this change there came an
awesome sense of the fear of God! Almost as if He were suddenly
going to rip open the sky, and present Himself to a world of people
who thought that the universe was so vast and that nothing could ever
harm or alter it. But I was there, when the fearsome sense of
God's presence was such as if He would tear open the sky right above
us and that we would see His face. It seemed that many would
die, from the fear of what would happen. Their hearts stopping in
their chest, from the fear of this God;
Now as for Me,
I don't say that I believe, as Christians used to say. But I
say this; I know! That the God who made everything, is much
Greater than all of the things that He made! I know that
I am fearful of Him; who even though I didn't know Him, made me, and
gave me life. I know, that I am subject to His will. I confess
that I willingly submit to His Authority. I know my master, He
is God! And I know, His Son, Jesus, 'The Christ.' So if
you choose to end my life for my confession of faith in Christ Jesus,
I have but this to say... Father, forgive them, they know not, what
they do! And Father, for the joy set before Me , I endure
even this......
It is said that
today, we live in a post-Christian era - but we have news for those
who would say this! Because every era belongs to God!
Without question, whether men believe, or not ... every man may
shake his fist at God, but in His time He will come, and all those
who oppose Him will look to the rocks to fall on them, to hide them
from His face!
I think
Christians are so caught up in the day-to-day run of life that they
forget to remember, The Coming of the Lord is at hand!
And our God who is the creator of the universe does not need
permission from "men" whom He created to invade it - and to
put an end to any of its inhabitants.
Yes, God did
put the earth under the authority of Man. But only until He returns!
Then He will
put an end to the ways of men, and will rule His kingdom in righteousness.
As The bible
says in one place, "Let God be true and every man a
liar!" Father, in this world I pray, "Lord Let your
Holy will be done." Even among the people of my nation, in
this very day Jesus, I pray, Lord do it. Amen.
Thy kingdom come!
Not my will,
but thine be done,
Not my
kingdom, but thy kingdom come.
My will I will
your way. Father take my will
Today, in Jesus
Holy name I pray, Amen.

Ye must be born again!
Ye must be born
again, my friend O please, now won't you hear it.
The treasure of
this flesh life is, that there is nothing to it!
For flesh
gives birth to flesh and there is no reward,
for anything
gained within this world that's separate from the Lord.
What must this
babbler be saying, what's he speaking of?
For all men
know were all OK - we have the Father's love!
For God so
loved the world it says, that's all we really need,
But Jesus said
repent and turn, from this wicked world be freed,
The flesh it
profits nothing, nor friends, nor family.
If you deny to
come and be converted, and hang on your own tree.
Then count your
loss as gain, be crucified with Him
Conformed to
Christ in suffering, and resurrection in the end.
What is the
point to this dirge, what would I try to say?
The Spirit is
life the flesh profits Nothing!
You, must be
born again...
The Spirit
'searches' all things, yes, the deep things of God.
If any man has
not the Spirit of Christ,
he belongeth
not to God.

NOT PHILOSOPHIES
Not
philosophies, which are 'vain deceits' not doctrines, counsels, or
teachings of the flesh, But Christ and Him crucified Is the eternal
hope of glory. All philosophies are nothing more than 'self
deceptions', and vain deceits. Philosophers live inside their own
heads, and don't labour near enough. The BLOOD of the lamb,
YESHUA, and the word of the Lord is the only way to safely get
through this vain fleshly life!
Lord Jesus
deliver Me from the tongue of every philosopher. Far better to sit
alone than to sit in the counsel of the ungodly, or stand in the path
of sinners, or sit in the seat of scoffers. For their words and
ways are snares and nets. The Cross crucifies completely every
'little philosopher' in each one of us. When a person is on the cross
they have no ideas, or grand imaginations of life at all.
Galatians 2:20 says, "I have been Crucified with Christ, it is
no longer I who live but Christ lives within me; and the life which I
now live in the flesh I live by faith in the son of God who
loved 'me' and gave Himself for me."
Try, if you
will, to jam any of your life philosophies, or familiar traditions
into that.
Every person on
this earths whole life without that Cross amounts to putrid waste and
total loss forever. Jesus could have said it this way - 'you,'
meaning 'you' must be born again. The Spirit is life, the
Philosophies, and flesh profit nothing. I believe the most
anti-Christ doctrines around today center on so-called Christianity
that has been changed to nothing more than glib clichés,
rules, and pseudo-Christian philosophies. These look and sound
good, but they shore up strong walls against the truth of Christ,
taking out of Christianity, the Power, and the Blood of the Cross.
Greeks seek
wisdom, and Jews seek a sign. But we are crucified with Christ and
have the fullness of the Holy Ghost.
Scripture says
if we don't have the spirit, of Christ, we are none of His.

Hu's Ramblings/musings
For we shall
all appear before the Judgment seat of Christ
To receive the
deeds done in the body. --[ O LORD, HIDE ME! ]
-So let us have
grace where we may serve God acceptably
with reverence
and Godly fear.
For the
sobering truth is We shall all stand before the judgment seat of
Christ! -This is something we can hear, but can't HEAR! -We can
tell it, or be told but cannot conceive of the
gravity of this truth.
---For our
pride conceals it from us. -----
-You may agree,
or not, but look deep, His eyes are as flames of fire, and a sharp
two edged sword is his tongue. Do you believe ? If He Tastes to
see if we are good, as He tells us to taste and see That the Lord is
Good, are we not positioned to be Vomited out of His mouth? O
that I might fear the Lord and Give Glory to His Holy name!
-- The flesh
profits nothing, the Spirit is life.
And the Spirit
reveals to us all things even the deep
Things of God.
-Eye has not
seen nor ear heard nor have enter the hearts
Of men, the
things that God has prepared for those that
Love HIM, But
God has revealed it to us by His Spirit.
There is no
Christianity without the Spirit. There is no
Conversion
without the Spirit, there is no salvation
Without the
Spirit, There is no hearing of the Word of the Lord without the
Spirit, There is no conviction of righteousness, sin ,and
judgment without the Spirit, there
Is no
learning without the Spirit. For the Holy Spirit teaches us all
things and leads us into all truth. Without the Spirit the body is
dead! Jesus said I have come to give you LIFE and that more
abundantly all abundance is in the Spirit. No abundance is in
the world of matter, or flesh, -The pearl of great price is Christ
'in you.' Yeah, the real hope of glory, and that eternal.. Ye must be
born again.. that which is flesh is flesh, and that which is Spirit
is Spirit. For those who come to God 'must believe that He is and
that He is a rewarder of those who diligently
----------Seek Him. -----------------
-For most
people are stuck on themselves, they live their lives on a human
experiential basis. [living in the flesh ]
Me
included 'most times' and they do not live in the Spirit. When
a minister talks, and talks, and talks,
About Himself,
His life ,His experiences, His stuff
Its because he
is not in relationship with God. And has little fresh manna to feed
his sheep! Jesus said because I go to the father, greater works than
these shall you do.
[ It's easy to
walk on water! ] -Who then will do the greater deeds? ---Them
that believe! ----
-Paul said to
Timothy; having a form of Godliness but denying the power of such as
these turn away..
Does that mean
that I should turn away from Me?
-That's
probably the best first step! How can a man have the Power of the
Holy Ghost when he lives, eats, sleeps and does almost
everything in his life according to the
Human nature?
It cannot be!
Flesh gives
birth to flesh. Spirit Gives birth to Spirit.
If a man
or woman are truly living and walking in the Spirit of God they will
have things to say of Him!
--They will not
know flesh,-- for Jesus said flesh profits nothing. If Jesus says
something is nothing [ its nothing ]
Amen...

Warrior reprise II
How blessed is
the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand in
the way of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers but His delight
is in the law of the Lord.

Tears streaming
down his face, heart wrenching, gut wrenching, crying hunger for the
lover of His soul the warrior buckled, and bent, groaning for the
revelation of the Lord Jesus. Fiery blazes of promise burning hotly
In his chest; Rest your hope fully upon the grace to be
revealed to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. All creation
groans, and is groaning for the revelation of the sons of God!!
WHO! Am

THE LORDS WARRIOR
Second portion (7/08)
The battle lines
have been drawn, so soldier take your sword in Hand !
The sword of the
Mighty word of God which is which is The High command!
Hold forth your
shield of faith, as Satan's darts you face,
with Holy feet
shod with the shoes of the Gospel of God's grace.
Speaking words of
truth your loins girded so,
through the heart
of righteousness, where the breastplate must go.
Go on, O Holy
warrior with Salvation on your head,
you are a mighty
warrior - the enemy's very dread !
I am a warrior! I
am a warrior, for Christ's sake, an ambassador for His kingdom.
Sent to reconcile
the world to the Father, through the Son.
The Son of His
love, as Jesus came to reconcile the world
to the Father
through His own blood.
So I seek to
reconcile others to and through Him. -Thank you Father I Go!
The warrior steps
into the seething darkness Of an evil world,
as he goes along
his way his path leads to an old man.
A degenerate man,
so vile, The warrior in his purity in Christ, smells,
And feels deeply
the wretched and evil soul that stands before Him.
Sword in hand he
holds it forth unto the very heart of, as it were, the Devil himself,
and presses the
sword of the Spirit, deep into His chest.
As the fire of the
sword burns the vile,
the precious
comes, the life comes, where death was life has come.
The old wretched
man is transformed in mind, soul, and Spirit.
Now crying out
with a purity and Holiness that makes all of Heaven shout ecstatically!
I'm alive! I'm
alive! Praise God I'm alive,
I was dead, and I
didn't know it. But now I'm alive.
Thank you Jesus!
Thank you Jesus!
As I pierced him
even His heart I could not have ever known,
the glory of my
Master's choosing this wicked thing for His own.
I stood in awe and
trembling as His Spirit fell,
transforming an
awful, wicked wretch headed straight for hell.
His change was so
sudden, and entirely complete,
I pierced a vile
and wicked man, Transformed into a sheep.
He fell down to my
feet right then, I too, fell there with him,
no longer was he a
wretched man, for Jesus now lived in him.
Changed, and
changed forever, this is what I saw.
I, so awed and
bewildered, gazed at Him, then paused.
His beauty now so
fresh and new, and he so innocent, and pure,
after eighty years
of wickedness, and this is to be sure.
I marvelled, and
almost envied, Him so fresh and me,
a seasoned
warrior, bewildered Lord at thee.
So many years have
come and gone,
so many battles
lost and won,
So many wounds so
deep within,
O Death, where is
your victory,
O Grave, where is
your sting?

FIRE
There is
fire in the house of God, and there is would on the fire.
The wood is all
that you would of your own will, apart from the Spirit of God.
All that you would
do, all that you would desire,
all that you would
love, all that you would want!
Your would is His
chaff, your would will burn in His Holy Presence,
O, would to God
that you would burn your own would,
and dwell In His
will, rather than your would!
Now will...
Not my will, but thine be done.
Not my kingdom but
thy Kingdom come.
Not my will but
thine be done, my will I will
Your way. Jesus
please change today,
Put in me that
will of thine, that thy will
Be mine, not mine.
To will and to work, to
Laugh and to talk,
to love and to hate,
In thy will to
walk ...amen

-- Beseeching word --
I beseech you
therefore brethren, by the mercies of God! - Not to parrot!
For we are to God
the fragrance of Christ among those
who are being
saved, and among those who are perishing.
To the one we are
the aroma of death leading to death, and to the other,
life leading to
life. For we are 'not' as so many 'parroting', [peddling] the
word of God!
But as of sincerity, as from God, we speak in the sight of God in Christ.
God leading us in
triumph in Christ, and through us diffusing
the fragrance of
His knowledge in every place.
- No parroting,
jesus jangling, or whatever you want to call it.
If Christ is in
you, you must emit the fragrance of death to those who
oppose themselves,
and the fragrance of life to those who are being called to life.
If you are a '
jesus parrot' I suspect that there's not much of
His fragrance in
you! [check yourself with God!]
When Jesus is
speaking people repent, humble, turn to God,
get mad, reject,
hate, or love... But when it's jesus jangle, it turns
everybody off. The
scripture's say we will be judged for every idle word.
Don't parrot.
Dig DEEP into the wells of salvation, that when you speak,
your words will be
fragrant to God, in Christ Jesus.
If you love God
with every fibre of your being, you are blessed!
If you Mock
[pretend] you alone will bear it.
The Jews
wouldn't even say God's name for reverence, an Honour, and Holy fear
of the Lord!
We throw Jesus
name around like a dirty shirt, and tag His name
onto every vain
imagination that rifles through our heads,
and before you
know it, we have a basket full of Jesus junk,
that is none of
His! EESH man! He is HOLY!
Those who come
close to God 'must' Honour Him, and ever one who who draws near will
be humbled!
Father, humble me,
even crush me, that I might decrease, and Jesus increase. Bless you
Lord come!
Hayda- sara-
bo-to- sou-unday..
'You are Holy
Lord. You are to
Be feared to the uttermost!
There is no-one
like you, No, not one!
How do you know
that you are not parroting?
You taste and see
that the Lord is Good ! ... What?...Well,
when you speak
there is soundness, richness, purity, grace, power,
love, and all the
flavour, and fullness of God comes out in your words.
If you begin to
gloat over it, or be proud, His word will stop, and you will revert
to parroting.
If you remain
humble, and thank Him, and give Him
Honour, you'll get
more, and as you cast your crown to the dirt,
and throw your
[self] to the ground, He will raise you up. This word is for all
Who would be His,
God is no respecter of persons, [no favourites]

The War Counsel
The war counsel
was settled at last,
the battle plans
had all been drawn,
the sacrificial
lamb had been slain,
everything was done.
The Generals had
all spoken, each one at his turn,
not a shadow had
been overlooked, not a stone was left unturned.
All was ready and
in order, the excitement you could taste,
the air around the
throne electric with the burning of His grace.
This is why you're
here, My son, that you too may know,
My Holy plan is
settled, being set forth long ago.
The taste upon
your tongue is fire with a metal tinge,
how else would you
perceive the burning sword within?
You are here to
learn just what is coming next;
The all consuming
fire of my righteousness,
My bride has been
asleep, and taken many lovers to her breast,
how does she in
soiled garments feign before me righteousness?
Here I give Her
warning, harden not your heart;
for the time of
battle cries, upon us, to set forth to the mark.
To seek my face
forever in all
In all that you
must do,
to cast away
unholy lovers,
that you've drawn
near to you.
To rend your hearts,
and not your garments,
to humble soul and spirit!
I am the Lord, and
I change not.
And no man can add
to it!

Hearing They Will
Hear?
D'you want
your ears tickled?!
Well God wants to
tickle them too! But first He wants to clean them out,
so that His truth
will be a delight to them.. 'your ears'!
Can you imagine -
You come close to your sweetheart, to whisper sweetly
in Her ear - only
to find it waxy, or strewn about with sawdust?
What do you think,
when God tries to whisper into our ears and He finds a deaf ear,
and a cold
heart? Do you see how we grieve the Holy spirit ?
Heb 12;
6 For those who come to God must believe that He is
and that He is a
rewarder of those who SEEK Him !
- To be born
again; You 'must' believe that God is and that He is a rewarder
of those who
seek Him. He's not obligated to reward self seekers, or
pleasure Seekers.
- You must believe
that He is God, not you! How many " I's " in G-O-D?
- How many "
me's " in G-O-D? How many " but I's " in G-O-D?
He says,
"Repent! And be converted." So we twit along like a silly
child singing
'I believe in Jesus' - dancing, and prancing, and jangling
about, Man! We
don't need the chirp, but we need the sap!
Paul said, the
root supports us, we don't support the root.. the sap comes
from the
Root, not the
wind! So why do we follow so many winds of doctrine,
And disregard the
fact that , there is no sap, and that the root is drying up?
Jesus said
that every branch in Me that does not bear fruit will be cut off.
And every branch
that does bear fruit will be pruned so that it can bear more
Fruit. EEEKK>
groan, groan, oowwww! That Hurts! LORD! That Hurts!
Thank God when you
feel it, and its pruning, you know you're not dead.
D'you hear
it? Jesus said, 'Have salt in yourselves,' I think he
meant have
Some sap on tap,
some oil in the vessel, and in the vine of your life ,
If no one could
ever guess that you are a Christian, are you?
I've been
rebuked for preaching more than once - when I
hadn't said a word!
I like
that... I also like Jesus tickling my ears, I get a
mile long grin, and then a tear
and cry,
Then beg him to take me Home..
Love you;

MIRROR
When I look into
life's mirror, what there do I see?
Do I see a Man of
God there, looking back at Me?
When I look into
life's mirror, right into his eyes,
Do I see a man of
faith there? Or one who lives a lie?
For the just shall
live by faith, says He and righteousness, you know.
But do I see these
in my steps, as down life's path I go?
As I look into
life's mirror, can I see the way?
Can I see me on
the cross, each and every day?
Can I see my
saviour, as he dwells in me
Or can I see
myself, fleeing Calvary?
For to live is
Christ and to die is gain,
O death where is
your victory?
O grave where is
your sting?

Are we related?
I am
indiscriminate, I am juicy,
My poisonous words
bypass minds and hearts,
they defile whole
persons with bitter poisons.
I am gossip, my
middle name is meddler,
my surname is
Talebearer.
My Father's name
is Father of Lies,
and my coach is
Belial [ the worthless one ].
Who am I? I'm
the enemy of mankind,
and like the
proverbial seductress, I hunt the precious life.
You, even you, can
taste of my fruit at any time .
You need
only to speak about another what is none of your concern.
Look close,
Are we related?
Romans 16:17-18
Now I urge you,
brethren, note those who cause divisions, and offences,
contrary to the
doctrine which you have learned, and avoid them.
For those who are
such do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ,
but their own
belly, And by smooth words and flattering speech
deceive the hearts
of the simple.
So are we
related? Do you tell stories just to be conversing?
Or do you
honor God by speaking righteousness, and truth?
The bible
says that Satan is the Father of lies
[talebearers,
story tellers, and gossips.]
-- while the
Spirit of truth dwells within all of Gods true children ...
Mirror time: Who
is your Daddy? really...

The Cross in Sight
What should I
write, the Cross in sight.
And who should be
upon it?
You or Me upon
that tree,
Which one of us
has earned it?
I see some stains
when I look at you,
But too well I
know, you see mine, too!
So whatever should
both I and you really seek to see?
Except the broken
Body of one dear soul,
Who paid the
total awful toll,
for you and also
for me!
No longer look
upon my sins,
No longer hover there,
You're not so
lofty and without stain
When laid open,
stripped and bare!
And I, too, should
only dare to see whatever sin
Is left in me,
And choose to
think within myself,
Lord, thank You
that I'm healed.

The Year of Unimport
It was the year of
unimport in a land not far away,
A very notable
fellow they laid to rest that day.
The preacher then
was speaking. This he had to say,
"Dearly
beloved we are gathered here today to send away,
This one time
mighty man to his final resting place."
I knew that man of
which he spoke, a scoundrel and a cheat,
and well could see
him at the throne before the Master's feet.
I heard weeping,
gnashing, groaning, and I sensed the pain,
and the terror of
his judgment, while I heard the preacher say,
"He was a
fine man, a good man," and many other lie.
As the people all
were taken in. O what a lullaby!
I heard the sound
of many waters rushing overhead,
and my heart
pounded in my chest from knowing such a dread!
This man had gone
to face alone the Mighty Lord of Hosts.
Never having ever
stopped to put the Master first;
The terror of his
first and final meeting with our God,
screams of horror
I could almost hear coming from afar.
O preacher, don't
you pacify, and send them all to hell,
tell the truth of
Christ our Lord, that without Him all will fall
Into everlasting
torment, torture ,and despair,
Preacher, their
blood is on your head if you don't even dare
to tell the truth,
and not to lie! And no one to impress!
That every sinner
goes to fire, and none of them to rest!
In a vision
I saw the man, his judgment now complete,
in terror, pain,
and anguish, screaming,
and with eternal
burning, within and without.
In a thousand
degrees of eternal fire, and total darkness.
Many years later,
I look again, still I see him there
Not consumed but
burning still, not going anywhere!
O sinner don't you
mock at Christ Jesus who you'll meet,
for eternal
burnings are the future of all the arrogant,
The proud the
rebel and every liar. Away with all the evil ones,
for they are not
of the Father. They are the devil's sons.
So bow your heads,
and do repent,
confess to Jesus
Christ your sins,
and your judgment
He'll relent!
But if you
continue in your sinful way,
know this for
certain then,
In fire you will
pay for every, every sin.

A Picture
A picture.
Just a
reflection of an image.
What image comes
to your mind
Of the day that
you stand before the Lord,
at the judgment
seat of Christ?
Lord, I want
to be Holy,
Your word says
"Be Holy for I am Holy."
I want to be Holy,
I pray again Lord.
Consecrate me
wholly unto Thee.
For You have seen
all that I've done,
every battle lost,
and every battle won,
You have seen my
hearts wounds,
some put there by
self, and some by others, too.
You know what I've
won and lost,
my toil, shame,
and pain,
I've counted
everything as loss,
that salvation I
might gain.
To me all now is rubbish,
and set out for
the fire ,
No value in one
earthly thing, You are my one desire.
All things are for
consuming in the fire of Your wrath,
cause men would
set their hearts on them,
and turn away from
Your true wealth.
For You are all
consuming Lord, yet You are everything,
You are my
redeemer, You are my precious king.
All I have I lay
before You, You are my all in all,
So I come
and pray before You Lord, hold me close lest I should fall.
There is nothing
in the bottom
of that pit from
where I've come,
Not one thing of value,
nothing to bring home.
I bring my life to
You today,
please wash and sanctify,
and make me Holy
in Jesus precious
blood I pray
and take my sin away
remove from me my
life long stain
and sanctify me
once again.
I pray in Jesus
name Amen.
There is nothing
else on this earth worth anything at all ,
but Jesus
Christ and Christ alone. He is the all in all.
He is the
everlasting one. He is everything to me.
Lord
sanctify me by Your word,
Your word is truth.

A Shadowed Road
I walked along a
shadowed road the shadow was despair,
I drug along this
heavy load, taking everywhere.
I never knew there
was a life apart from such a pain,
until I found
the cross of Christ, and that He rose again.
I entered to
Gethsemane and I bowed down to pray,
Rose up and took
my cup and turned to walk away.
I thought I
live in Gethsemane, and as I went to go,
I knew I had to
drink this cup, my cup was from the Lord.
Through many
trials and tests, the way we enter in
And through a
broken heart the way is made within
So I drink this My
Father has prepared, and one day
Filled with fresh
new wine, I drink it at home with Him.

BE NOT WEARY
Be not weary in
well doing stand ye firm in all.
For faith will
work a great reward, and keep you from a fall.
Be ye glad when
all seems lost, and storms arise within,
For hope and
comfort shall prevail, Gods faithfulness shall win.
Be not weary, but
stand firm, this I can attest,
That as you go and
stand with Him,
He'll make you
pass the test.
