When poetry speaks of Gods love and salvation it shouldn't be filled with confused conversation. When God uses poetry to set forth His mind there's mysteries to behold beneath every line. When Gods poetry speaks and nobody listens was there something they missed to keep them from tripping? Now poetry's written for all kinds of reasons but when written by God it becomes spirit pleasing. So keep this in mind the next time you read an interesting piece of Gods poetry. If you'll listen with the ears of your spirit it's told that the mystries of salvation will start to unfold. P.S. This is the last one for a while. It's time to think, to wonder, to ask ourselves, has the church reduced God to what we think He means when He instructs us on matters of healing, sin, faith and obedience? Remember the book of Acts paints a picture of a group of 12 young men who turned their known world upside down with the demonstration of Gods Power, not in their ability to toss scriptures back and forth to justify their personal disbeliefs, as if a single scripture could portray all God has to say about any matter. Are we a picture of the book of Acts? With all of our technology are we powerfully changing the world with Gods Word and Spirit demonstrating Gods power with signs and wonders to follow? Or are we still bantering back and forth (while the world watches)in the name of "denominations"(a word whose greek origin implies to divide) Are we waiting for God to make the big move? Or is God waiting for us? Read the whole bible, several times, not just the parts your pastor pulls out to convince you it's time to fill the offering plate( now I know I just made somebody mad), or the feel good stuff about how much He loves us. God is an awsome God and will not be mocked! Recieving Him demands that we learn to "Obey My comandments.. Turn from your wickedness and then I will Heal you" those who have an ear to hear will rid themselves of their pride as well as their "repetitive sins" and live in Gods heavenly health and power and with the presence of that virtue in your body then when you put your hands on a sick person and pray in the name of Jesus.. of course God is a God of choice and if you choose to believe some powerless silly denominational doctrine(I'm only human or gee my faith isn't Big enough yet) then the Word is very clear in Jeremiah 46:11 "Go up into Gilead, and take balm, O virgin, the daughter of Egypt: in vain shalt you use many medicines; for thou shalt not be cured." How much of the House of God is still living in Egypt? Read the book of Jeremiah it's not a pretty picture But through it all God promises to restore and heal if we will " Listen to My voice, turn from your wickedness and.. well somebody got by now. Gods peace be with you as you grow in His wisdom. I'll be back in a few weeks, if your really stuck in life and need to talk please e-mail me at: shockgospel@juno.com this is an offer to those who are in bondage who need some solid Truth to get free to operate in Gods fullness, not to argue doctrine. May the God of this universe bless all who hold fast to the name of Jesus. Please do not respond to this letter untill you have read all the letters Iv'e written in the forum concerning this matter lest you find yourself misunderstanding and sending me another scripture. bye for now, the shockster |

woohoo......I'm sure while we all have fun posting and reading each other's poem's...What we accomplish here is a small thing when compared to what the apostles did...But...to each his own as they say...For myself...i have been uplifted each time I come to read the poetry here...So, even if I'm the only one outta however many who was uplifted...I would imagine that pleased God....AS far as reducing God by what "We Think" ...Your probably correct...Myself, I'm pretty sick of people trying to convince me of something with one certain scripture about this or that.... But that's just me......!...Who's to say my opinion is the right or wrong one.... Though, I do so hate being wrong...hehe.. |

Well, I imagine you were speaking of me, with all that scripture I threw out there. I don't know what to say other than I agree whole heartedly. It is derived from the greek meaning just that...division! So many do not have the Truth of God, but instead listen to man and how they interpret His word. Many of my poems are on that very subject. Maybe you should take a moment and go back a few pages and read those! I can only applaud you and speaking bold, for we are the salt of the earth! <*\\\>< When you can't make up your mind Which way is right for you, Stop and softly ask yourself, What Would Jesus Do? |

Once I heard of a man who said he'd been through the bible several times and it had done nothing for him. He was told it was a matter of the bible going through him that makes a difference. Always read your postings. |
