Poetry: He Lives

Have you ever wondered do God really lives? Well, I hope this poem will provide some insight for you. Many events in our lives take place and we become overcomers as well as conquerors. Knowing that the situation was too big for us to handle, we begin to just be thankful that we ovecame the situation. But, have we really taken the time to sit and think how there was some supernatural power needed for us to overcome the situation.


He lives and sits on his throne above like the clouds sit in the sky.  Like a squirrel lying dead in the middle of the street, I could have died.  I don’t know how my mind is being kept for I should be like a psycho seeking to do harm. Instead, like an angel covering me with his wings, he widely opens his arms;


Covering me with a shield, like a soldier is covered with armor for war, I should be like an alcoholic, seeking expensive drinks daily at the bar;


I have been through the wilderness like Moses for 40 days and 40 nights; I’ve been lost like an unknown traveler, but he assisted me with his glorious light.  For I know he is not dead, in fact, he rose on the third

day like self-rising flour; he is alive and I can call on him any second, any minute, even in the midnight hour;

 

Events in life are like friends that go and come, come and go.  He saved me from the pit, called “Sheol.”  Death knocked at my door like a postman with a certified letter; he has been with me through the hot, cold, gloomy, rainy, and stormy weather.  He protects me like a cat protects her kittens and a dog protect her pups.  Oh yes, he lives each and every day because I feels his steadfast love.  He never treated me like a baby; around my neck, there’s no bib—but he trained me like a soldier for war, yes, he lives!

Poetry: The Demonic Man That Bothers Me

When we have gotten over our past and our failures, it seems like someone who knew of our past and old ways tend to highlight our past in front of others. This is to inspire and encourage someone that they can get rid of the demonic man that tends to bother us. The Demonic Man may be a relative, friend, co-worker, neighbor, or it may be just simple thoughts in our mind to cause us to be oppressed or depressed.

The enemy roams to and fro seeking whom he may devour, but I was put on this earth to make his taste buds sour.  He seeks to cause heartaches and pain—this man is evil! I mean he is totally insane;

 He seeks to cause disappointments in areas that I strive and strive; he seeks to see me dead, thank God I am still alive.  The enemy is real and so am I.  He keeps telling me, “I am not going to make it,” but he is a lie.  This man goes to the extreme in what he does, but I strive harder, for there is power in me that makes him like a car without a starter;

 
He seeks to cause stress, anxiety, bondage, and oppression; I refuse to bow down, for I plan to teach him a lesson.  I am taking back my health –I am free in Jesus name.  I am more than a conqueror and I have the victory;


It’s time to take back all that belongs to me and more; I am coming boldly to kick down Satan’s door.  To the doors of deliverance, abundance, and joy, I already have the key.  I speak aggressively,

“Get Out,” I’m speaking to the demonic man that bothers me.

Poetry: I Heard


 
Be inspired and uplifted with the poem entitled, "I Heard" from Inspirational Poems for the Storms.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I heard of the name, Jesus Christ, have you?  I am

a living witness of what he can do.  Known as the Alpha and Omega—the beginning and end, the one who has washed away all of my sins;
 
You may not believe it, but he has opened blinded eyes that can now see; he has broken chains off prisoners’ hands and feet.  Unstopped deaf ears that can now hear every word spoken, even the dead he has awaken;

 He fed a multitude with two fishes and five loaves of bread; even performed miracles for those who have been shot in the head.  Many people should not be here today, but they are alive and doing well;

 He has been so good to me; of his good deeds, the world I must tell.  Let me spread the word, when asked about Jesus—he’s king of kings and Lord of Lords.


So, what have you heard?

Poetry: Stagnation


Many people enjoy just talking about the things they want to do or the things they wish they would have done. Yet, they have breath in their body and has been given another day to live. So, they have been granted another chance to. So, when there is another day granted, one should use that day to their advantage because the next day isn't promised to none of us. Therefore, I would like to share a poem from my poetry book, "Inspirational Poems for the Storms" entitled Stagnation. This poem is to encourage someone to go forth to achieve their goals and dreams.


Stagnation

You are walking but where are you going?  You are sleeping. Do you realize that you are snoring?  You are standing still, why you will not move?
 
You claim to be smart; why allow the enemy to use you as a fool?  You are singing, but what is the name of that song?  You claim to be strong, but you refuse to hold on;

You are tired and I don’t understand why.  You were off today and you have not been moving.  You claim to be humble and patient; why are you full of anticipation?  You have just been diagnosed with stagnation.

He Knows Your Name

I was just thinking about how people feel like they are forgotten and alone during their adversities. Realizing the hurt that people are experiencing, I just wanted to encourage someone they are not alone nor forgotten. This is a poem from my poetry book, "Inspirational Poems for the Storms" entitled, "He Knows Your Name". I hope that you will be blessed and uplifted realizing you are not alone nor forgotten.

 He Knows Your Name


Do you feel forgotten?  No one wants to give you a helping hand?  Doubting if you’ll ever feel better, remember the one who created the universe, sea, and the land;

You are thinking no one feels your pain, yes, there is someone who bore your hurt and there is someone who’s watching over you and he acknowledges all your efforts and hard work;
 
You’re wondering why you have to undergo such turmoil feeling like you shouldn’t be here, but you are.  It was his plan and purpose that he allowed you to make it this far;

Although you may have felt wounded, heartbroken and spiritually lame; don’t ever feel that you are alone, because he knows your name.

Inspiring: How Do You Achieve Happiness?



Ever wondered how to achieve happiness and maintain happiness? Many people think achieving happiness is a difficult job that requires energy and force. Happiness is already within us as human beings if we know how to discover it. I have known some people who are happy at one moment during the day, but they allow one event or distraction change desire to maintain happiness. From an article, by Remez Sassor, “The Happiness Factor”, it is mentioned how we seek happiness by engaging and participating in various activities to seek happiness. For example, one may go to the movies, attend a party, and go to a restaurant to obtain happiness. If none of these engagements are satisfactory to our desire, happiness has not been achieved.


Remez mentions how a happiness factor dictates the behavior of each individual. The write discusses how happiness is sought in many ways and forms. It is sought in selfish and unselfish ways. “The Happiness Factor “is a very interesting article to me because there are so many unhappy people in the world. Many unhappy people in the world actions and attitude tends to have a negatively affect on others who are actually happy. In my opinion, unhappiness is contagious in the same manner as happiness. When one is surrounded by a group of happy individuals, the environment becomes a welcoming and loving environment because of the happy people within the environment.


In conclusion, happiness is a choice that individuals must make. I agree with Remez when stated, “We are spiritual beings in physical bodies. The spiritual part is always happy or rather happiness itself. The body covers this happiness essence, but it is there all the time. Therefore, no need to search for happiness or try to create it.” Happiness is an inside job in the same manner as people who have to work on his/her attitude problem. There is no one who can change your attitude, but yourself. Therefore, nothing or nobody can make you happy, but yourself. So, began to search your heart to locate the true happiness that is located within you as a human being.
