Faith, Hope, Love!

Today at my Master’s feet
I bow
Faith has now allowed
My Master’s face
I see,
Faith is now complete.
Today my Redeemer’s arms
My hope
Carry me through
Heaven’s gates,
All hope is exceeded.
Today Love
Nail scared hands
Gently blot away tears
Eternal Love.
Faith and Hope
Have passed away,
Yet Love is
Forever.
I Corinthians 13:13

Forgotten Prayers!

I have forgotten prayers,
Oh when will answers come?
My soul longs
For answers as it cries out
For my forgotten prayers.
Has my Abba
not heard my cries?
Has Abba forgotten
My cries?
Are my prayers forgotten?
~
NO!
Abba has not forgotten
My prayers
For every word of
my prayers are written
Upon His heart!
Is it I who
has forgotten to wait
Upon my Abba?
Is it I who has forgotten
To be still?
Is it I who has
forgotten to
Pray on and believe?
~
NO!
My Abba has not
Forgotten
My tears nor My Prayers!

Leap of Faith!

Take a leap of Faith
and you shall find
There is no parachute!
Abba beckons
Come child and leap
For you are surrounded
By winged Angels!
Come child
I AM your Abba
My arms are strong
My arms are wide open
Come My child take this
Leap of Faith
I AM your Abba.
Leap!

The Shepherd!

The soft whisper
Of the Shepherd
A warming tone
To the battered heart
His gentle touch
Upon the tear-stained  cheek
His strong arms embrace
The broken one
As He carries
His child home.

This poem was inspired by a blogger, a prayer warrior, and a sister in Christ Jesus. https://betsyborchardt.wordpress.com/2016/09/14/love-is-faithful/

Please take a moment and read her loving words she penned to inspire  my heart!

Faith Tested!

Real faith tested
Bringing glory to the
King of Kings.
Faithful one can
Walk through hell
Even when Hell is blatantly foul
With sin all about is rank,
Yet the aroma of heaven
Surrounds the Faithful.
A faith that is real
Brings Glory to the
King of Kings
As the faithful walk
The tested one
Does not bow his knee
To Nebuchadnezzar
The faithful one worships,
The Faithful one
Dances before the
King of Kings.
As hell is blatantly foul
and sin is rank
The faithful walk
Still
Smelling of heaven
The aroma
The Glory of their
King of Kings

 

I cannot express with words what is going on all about me and how much I miss reading all your encouraging post. Yet I hope to soon return. May the Grace of our Abba Father be poured out upon your days, may His peace be with you, Amen.

Yes The Forgotten!

“It is the soldier, not the reporter, Who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the soldier, not the poet, Who has given us freedom of speech.

It is the soldier, not the organizer, Who gave us the freedom to demonstrate

It is the soldier, Who salutes the flag, Who serves beneath the flag.

And whose coffin is draped by the flag, Who allows the protester to burn the flag.”

Father Dennis Edward O’Brien, USMC

Monday Quote!

Jonathan Edwards

1703 ~ 1758

The spirit of bondage works by fear for the slave fears the rod: but love cries, Abba, Father; it disposes us to go to God, and behave ourselves towards God as children; and it gives us clear evidence of our union to God as His children, and so casts out fear. So that it appears that the witness of the Spirit the apostle speaks of, is far from being any whisper, or immediate suggestion or revelation; but that gracious holy effect of the Spirit of God in the hearts of the saints, the disposition and temper of children, appearing in sweet childlike love to God, which casts out fear or a spirit of a slave.”
― Jonathan Edwards,

Lord Save Me!

When Peter stepped out of the boat he was walking on water till he took his eyes off Jesus, he cried out “Lord save me!” Mary and Martha waited for the Jesus four days thinking He was too late!

Hang in there God heard your Prayer!

On the Edge!

After twenty-seven years of learning to walk with Christ
I have seen the faithfulness of Christ is far greater than
My human heart can ever understand.
In His enduring Grace
My faith grows to a level beyond what
My human eyes can see.
As the years have pasted by
My Lord has brought me
To the edge of the sea,
He spoke,
Cross over here!
Standing upon the shore overwhelmed
By the vastness of the great ocean
Fear screams out you shall drown.
Out of the cold darkness
The slanderer, the prince of lies,
The deceiver caterwauling
Your God has brought you here to die
Alone!
~
Yet this I call to mind
And therefore I have Hope:
Because of the Lord’s
Great Love
We are not consumed, for
His compassion are new every morning,
Great is His Faithfulness.
As I step off the
Edge onto Faith
Beyond what my human eyes can see
It is Grace
It is Christ’s Great Faithfulness,
that shall
Carry me to the other side.

l must thank everyone who follows Men of One Accord for your love and prayers and God Bless you all. I do not have the time I had before to keep up with and commit on all your great blogs and for this I am very sorry.

On Wednesday nights I get to spend time with a boys club I have started, pray the Lord uses these boys of His to turn the world right-side-up, Amen!

Quotes of J Thomas

Quotes from J Thomas, when he was talking to children: 

Listen my little brothers and sisters
To my words;
Never think you are too small
Do not think of yourself as insignificant
Think not,
You are insufficient,
~
For a mountain is built
Only with one grain of sand
Placed upon on the next,
In the same way
A mountain is brought down
By removing one grain of sand
From the next.
~
We are God’s children,
When we let Him do
The good work
The dreams He has
For our lives
Through us,
The mountains of evil
Are brought down
As in the same way
Mountains of good
are built up.
~
For we have been given
The Keys of the
Kingdom of Heaven,
Amen.
