Statues of Old (Everything will Eventually be Fine)

As the leaves fall like a forgotten dream

You think you knew the answers

Now nothing is as it seems

You crush the leaves into tiny parts

Reminiscent of your remorse

Statutes of old will crumble

Business of polish will stall

Religious traditions will break

So our hearts will awake 

Can you see what’s happening?

We are being poured from the inside out?

Are we preaching what we are practicing?

It takes time for the planets to align

Trust me, everything will be eventually be fine

The Bread

You are in the oven 

Like bread

Rising to the top

We think we are the only loaf

But we are a dime and dozen

But some have more dough 

Some bake more slow

Or a different type all together 

The heat is up high

You are being redefined 

You wish the waiting would stop

Making a promise 

Of a perfect rise would be a lie

It all depends on the care you are given

Which is based a heart that’s driven

Don’t put this fire out

Don’t look to other the breads but the baker

He’s got his on apron and gloves

He knows how firm and how hot

We think we are the only loaf

He laughs at our quarrels

He sees our yeast

To His eyes we are a feast

Don’t put this fire out

Jesus Healed During Sabbath

Jesus Healed During Sabbath

Jesus cleaned feet

He said it’s hard for the rich

To enter the Kingdom of God

This statement my seem flawed

But our hearts must be submitted

The lowly will rise

While the high will no longer be lifted 

He threw tables of the pretend

And to those who follow Him

He is your forever friend 

This answer is plain

He knows every intention

At every village He didn’t heal

He knew what their hearts concealed

But He said healing during Sabbath is fine 

He came to bind up the broken hearted

He said He’ll leave the 99 for the one any time

And He welcome the prodigals home

God looks to and fro the earth

He looks for obedient hearts

With a hunger coming forth

Care what God Says about You

Trust what God says about you more than what man says!

Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe.

Proverbs 29:5 NIV

When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves they are not wise. 2 Corinthians 10:12 NIV

Silence the negative talks in your head and know the Lord is for you! The world is loud and distracting but God’s voice is gentle and comforting!

Scripture Encouragement from 1 Thessalonians

Good news! Troubles ahead but God is faithful if we submit to Him! Idols keep us from God’s heart but serving Him protects us from future judgement! You may be saved but wouldn’t rather serve God with your whole heart?

“They tell how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead—Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath” 1 Thessalonians 1:9-10

A shorten version of this found on my Twitter at @RedeemingFather.

Red Sea Moment

The Israelites and Pharaoh

The 10 plagues

Hail, frogs and locust

It’s no hocus pocus 

It’s God’s wrath

Who will win?

You do the math 

The powers to be

Are obsessed with greed

Every time we buy something

We are just watering their seed

The supply chain

Is strained

Pharaoh cracks the whips

He needs you

Your security and wealth

Is in his ghastly grips 

The more the structures fall

The more we are awakened

The red sea is closing in

But we will make it through 

But whatever you do

Don’t go back

Keep moving straight

These moments are pregnant 

The blood represents more than sea

They are connected to many unborn lives 

Come on children, cross over me with me

The Carpenter Knows Me

The Carpenter knows me
He has fashioned me
For such a time as this
In this thing called life
With all its plot twists

I started as wood
Even my heart
But he broke me apart
He used chisels
And screws
To make me new

I hated this process
How it still goes on!
I measured my success
By how polished others were
But you said, “You are a beautiful mess”

But you taught me through the pain
And clipping away rusting character traits
Ones that are way past an expiration date
I thought I had solutions in my mind
But I see the tools start to rotate

And I know it’s time
To change me in a whole new way
At a molecular level
Get past the agony
And resist the devil

You have always been there
You won’t stop now
I can always feel you somehow
Even in all this peeling away
Scarred people run from the Lord
But renewed ones run toward

Fruit We Bear

Christians are supposed to be known by their love for each other

But even the church can be toxic

No wonder so many people are agnostic 

Love we are supposed to represent 

Not just to force them to repent 

It’s more than just the rules

It’s heart of the matter

Jesus made that very clear 

Prophets are known by the fruits they bear

There will be many false prophets and Christs 

They will adding miracles as a part of the price 

They will charge per demon casted out 

I know we are in the end times

But where’s the hope the Bible talks about?

I know there will every disease, war and drought

But what about taking about the glory coming?

And saints joining hands while satan’s agenda is crumbling 

It’s more than the propaganda and hysteria 

People are suffering enough as it is

And the unbelievers need hope

As they are at the end of their rope

They need more than a verse

They has been rehearsed

They need love

I have been hurt by hypocrites

Wolves in sheep clothing

I hope they will reap what they been sowing 

Blessed are the poor spirit for theirs is the kingdom

Proverbs and Ecclesiastes is filled with so much wisdom

Everything is meaningless apart from God
