A Soldier Must Rise (Poem #13)

I once thought I live right
I thought everything was good

Years prior I met God
Years prior I served diligently

I saw truth for truth
And saw lies unfolding

My eyes met with the sins of my heart
Then I let my heart disown them

I was clean as can be
Always striving for purity

Being diligent to obey
When God's voice spoke to me softly

Persecution was strong 
But with God I was stronger

He held up my hands 
And my prayer was enlightened

So near He was
Like the wind blowing around me

My mind was on Him
Day and night as I meditated on Him

But when things got too much
The pressure overwhelming 

Things seemed to crash
From the weight of my surroundings

Instead of still fasting
Instead of continuing in Him

A bit of me gave up
And started spiraling backwards

I fell to my knees 
Like a soldier defeated

I sank so very deep
His thoughts, I couldn't hear them

The deeper I went
The more sin overshadowed me

My spirit felt dead
And my soul cried for mercy

But through all the pain
My legs wouldn't stand

So for years I just sat
Letting the demons come at me

I sinned once again
It lasted for years

Till God made a choice
To call even louder

On a journey we went
Far from my comfy home I knew

Miles and miles we traveled
Till He placed in me more truth

Strength He placed in me
To stand a bit more

Lessons He taught me
From the people I adore

I stand up today
Not completely healed but healing

A soldier must rise again
For my Father's work to thrive within them

An urgency He placed
In my mind and in my heart

To serve Him again
And stand twice as strong

How God Draws Me Near (Blog Post)

     So lately I haven't posted any blogs because I was more focused on my small YouTube channel where I create art and preach about what I learn from the Lord in my own way.       In doing so, I'm kept busy creating new content and forcing more on what the Lord wants me to teach and not just to talk about him randomly. When I'm creating those videos, there is not much need in blogging because I can explain everything with my own voice vs. Writing it all out.       But lately, I have put my channel on hold because I recently moved across the country and have no room or space to keep creating and recording my art. Since then, I have seen myself drift further from Christ and being occupied with life, earning a living, preparing for my future plans and so on. I will not say that being prepared for life and setting goals is a bad things but when it keeps you focused on life and living and unfocused on Christ, then some changes need to b...

My Cry To The Lord (Poem #12)

My soul yearns My eyes water I thirst for you I hunger for more Complete me Lord Take control Mold me Like clay to a pot Make use of my life Make my spirit rejoice Clean me like silver So I reflect your image Sharpen me like a sword So I slice through my worries Harden me like diamonds So my strength comes from you I yearn, I cry My soul is weary My spirit is chasing Chasing to be near you Hold me close Cover me under your wings Give rest to my soul Give peace to my spirit Cloth me in your righteousness Your blood has purchased me I long to be used Open my eyes to your love Straighten my road So my foundation will be true I seek and shall find Your presence is by my side Carry me home When my journey is done My Saviour, my true Love A bride I shall be When my time has come

Seek Out God

 I Believe that soon, everyone will know who is a Luke-warm Christian and who is a true Follower of Christ. The people will be separated just the way God separates the Sheep from the Goats.  If you haven't been paying attention to the world lately, life may seen fine and normal but even i would be dumbfounded to find out that someone doesn't know or see anything that's been going on.  Train derailments, Toxins in the air, 15 Minute-Cities being prepared, Farms burning up, Rumors of Famines, Transgender/ Same Sex/ LGBTQ+... stuff that's been going around. So many conspiracies coming to light, and Etc. So much is going on and everyone is saying that we are living in the end times. My Thoughts...? Well, I do believe we are in the end times because Bible prophesies are being fulfilled but in all this chaos, The Lord always tells me to focus on Him and live life. Now living life doesn't mean not getting ready for His return. In fact, it means the exact opposite. It means...
