Jesus spoke these words in John 16:33
These things I have spoken unto you, that in Me you might have peace.
In the world you shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

A Steady Writer (penned 3-1-2019)
A steady writer with pen in hand,
Prepare me for combat throughout the land.
A soldier of war that the human eye cannot see,
It is the spirit-man-inside, You have called unto Thee.
The Father’s orders go forth to those that will hear,
We must stand at attention, and You will make it clear.
Warriors on their knees in prayer,
Fighting the enemy in the air.
The battle rages on between the evil, and the good,
Stay strong, stay put, as you know you should.
“Vengeance is Mine; says the Lord,” He is our Commander-In-Chief,
“I will repay, says the Lord.” He will destroy that demonic thief.
For satan is a liar, a fallen angel from the sky,
he is recruiting sinful man, bound by his deception and lies.
Recognize that culprit who is dirty, dark, and ugly,
he slithers on his belly in a deep black gulley.
O’slew-foot disguises himself as a know-it-all,
A deceiver he is, and masquerades for all to fall.
With glitter, tinsel, flashing to the lustful eye,
Man becomes confused, and believes the devil’s lie.
What does it profit a man to gain the whole world?
To lose his own soul, and at the end be hurled.
If only man would turn from his wicked ways,
Then he would see the truth reaching down to save.
Hell is a real place that man refuses to accept,
To burn forever, a soul will regret!
That sneaky o’snake is ruthless,
But the Word of God measures him toothless.
Remember, the enemy cannot stand against the Holy Scriptures,
Even though he changes, and tries to rewrite the picture.
satan’s pride is his very demise,
Don’t you want to be on the Savior’s side?
Why wait to accept the Gift of God’s Grace?
Do it now, today, before it’s to late!
The enemy is a relentless foe,
So speak out God’s Word, and satan will let you go.
Yes, look to the Creator with His Love so divine,
A warmth of Love to cleanse, and refine.
A royal crown you will ware,
Because Jesus Christ truly cares!
The darkness will flee from you and me.
When you rest upon Jehovah’s knee.
Yes, His child you will be for ALL eternity,
Because He has wondrously set you free!
A Soldier In His Army (penned 3-1-2019)
The Word of God, The Sword within,
The Spirit of the Great I Am.
He whispers within the what to say,
His profound Words that break, and save.
A know-how of wisdom flow from His throne,
That utterance be made, and rolls off the tongue.
He restores and redeems the lost and found,
A new life to be when His word surrounds.
The deaf ears will be open, and blind eyes will see,
The sword of love flowing from the Almighty King.
From a vessel surrendered now proclaiming His word,
A soldier in His army, to some seems so absurd.
The world sits in wait, needing to be set free,
What will it take, listen to me!
Draw nigh thy heart, and you will see,
It is the I Am that speaks to thee.
Do not let your heart be hardened,
Release it to God, and you will be pardoned.
Free at last, and welcomed with His open arms,
Strong holds are broken from satan’s charms.
Seek the face of God while you still have time,
One never knows when your life is on the line.
Do not wait until it is to late,
Some of your friends will debate.
So listen to that still small voice deep within,
You will find love, peace, and joy once again.
So turn from the world of its glitter, gloom, and doom,
Receive new life, there is room, room, room.
Room at His table prepared for His Bride,
Come on in, and sit by His side.
This is the place of your final home,
To be with King Jesus, never alone.
A place of safety filled with His warmth and love,
Because the Word of God flowed from above.
Two Paths Crossed
penned September 2, 1994 and on page 79 of Lord, You Are Real
Seasons come and seasons go,
Change is all around.
People come and people go,
But which way do they go?
If by chance in our meeting, a glimpse of heaven you see,
The eye: an open door to the soul.
The reason being the eye to my heart,
Is the Savior who made me whole.
(scripture reference Matthew 6:22)

Salt Shaker Vision
My minds-eye saw a salt shaker blown of fine glass,
It had a silver top with small holes to pour out.
Could that salt shaker be a vision from Thee?
To season others as You have seasoned me.
You have refined my head like unto fine silver,
That Your Word go forth in which to deliver.
You have blown Your Word into my soul,
Like unto that salt shaker in which to hold.
God’s precious Word that others may know,
It is Your Word, the salt that seasons the soul.

Lord, I found a quiet place today, away from all the world,
None other sounds of praise I hear than the wind, and a goose giving a gurgle.
I thank You, Lord, for Your love this day, so sweet You are to me,
A love embrace You are near to my heart, a love that forever will be.
I see a yellow butterfly dancing around Your flowers divine, a leaf falls at my side,
Your wind blows on my face and hair, Your presence can not be denied.
Fall is in the air again, another year almost ended,
Time goes by so quickly, Lord, help me be obedient!
Here we are alone again, all is still and quiet,
You are my protector, my friend, and forever will be my diet.
As I partake of Your word, and eat the bread You have set before me this day,
Teach me while I am here, O Lord, so still and quieted away.
Away with You! Away with You! I am away with You!
Away with You! Away with You! A love ever so dear and true!

Rhapsody in Bloom
The Song of the ages in purple Majesty,
Rings true in a heart of red, white, and blue.
Red for the blood that was shed for all men,
White for the cleansing of all the hidden sin,
Blue for the wounds, setting the captives free.
Rhapsody in bloom came forth for you and me.
Rhapsody in bloom shed at the cross,
The Song of Divine Love for all the lost.
penned April 5, 1993
Changing of the Guard
The trumpets do sound, the guard standing at the gate,
A mighty sound the trumpeters do make.
A call to arms, raising their banners high,
The Lord of all is waiting for His Bride,
Blow ye the trumpets, the trumpeters of the Lord,
The time is drawing nigh at hand for the changing of the guard.
We will usher in the King of kings, the Mighty One of God,
Give ear ye chosen seed before the changing of the guard.
This is the day that the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalm 118:24
The LORD bless you and keep you;
the LORD make His face to shine upon you,
and be gracious unto you;
the LORD lift His countenance upon you,
and give you peace.
Numbers 6:24-26
