I tell you the enemy is your heart.

You respect power - position - money -
and the praise of others.
You respect honor and glory from men.
All honor and glory belong to the
Father.

If you loved and honored your
Heavenly Father you would
not be looking to others for
justification for your life.

You would find absolute
justification in knowing only
his love prevails.

There are no powers - principalities -
governments or authority in the world
which do not ahve to answer directly
to him.

He will repay - As Written.

Let us move foward with our lives and sing
and cry and work and love to the best of our
ability and let God establish His kingdom
on the earth.

Power corrupts.

No man is above God.
No government is above him.

If men do not follow his teachings and
continue to follow the aspirations of
the world.
Then they will answer to him.

No saint or martyr can forgive the
unforgiveable sin.

The Kingdom of Heaven has been opened
to the followers of Jesus who was sent
to open the Kingdom by the Father.

The unforgiveable sin - Failure to recognize
The Holy Spirit -

Love Incarnate.

~Welcome to Passions~

This is quite powerful. I've read this line by line, saying: "Really? Really? Really? Whoa! And, the two lines above the last line, Really?

Enjoyed this viewpoint. Interesting!
Looking forward to seeing more of your poetry.

Hugs, and again, welcome, Pat

(big hugggssssssss) This brought me to tears, dearest friend, this is a very striking and serious debut, I think these guilty consciences should know EXACTLY who they are and turn to Him immediately before many innocent suffer as so many of our world leaders now are corrupted this way, you said it so well! Welcome to Passions, sweet friend, may you be inspired by all of us here as we will all be inspired by your lovely words! I can't wait to read more of your lovely words, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sahring!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Thanks everyone.  It means so much to me to have my words appreciated and
understood.  I live and love and desire this kind of strength from others.
