Playful Visitation

Father I see that You just want to be a friend to us,

no matter if we are alone in a field or on a crowded bus.

You want us to lead a life of servant-hood,

doing our own things grins trouble, that’s never good.

As You work in us, calming our spirit and mind down,

we slowly begin to see our coheir-ship that comes with a crown.

For everything You do for us, we thank You for coming,

through praise of song or just a talk, even when we are humming.

How You just wanna sit with us or mess around,

our joy in You is something great we have found.

Letter From Above

Dear Joe,

You know I love you, so why do you think every time something good happens in your life, something bad happens in someone close to you? It’s not necessarily a challenge, but seeing how you deal with it. You are becoming more like Me. It does pain Me to try these things but you are handling them like My son. So in return they will get better. Your brother, no, more than that, tons of people you know shall change drastically including yourself very soon. You have shown such a strong growth in Me over this past year with some minor fall backs, but you continue to push through and that My son shows Me your desire to be more like Me. The pain you feel shall decrease, along with certain anger issues you are dealing with. So go forth and do work, start speaking to strangers about Me and prophecies about them shall come true. You are an Earth Changer, a Mover of Hearts, go share these poems I have given you. Your writings I bestowed upon you read to the masses and watch their reactions. I Am Yours, Take Me and Pour My Love to Others.

Forever You Are Loved,

God

Struggling Challenge

Some would say that we are not challenged in our life as Christians, but I would argue that idea til I die. Life itself, everyday is a struggle to maintain the aspects of Jesus in our walk through this vile world. Walking through pain and suffering of those we pass by in a daily basis, we feel the sorrow upon their hearts. Being in-tune with the spiritual needs of people around me is something I so desperately crave, and I have tasted that this past week. A challenge arose for Dibor to survive in a place as a group we have not been. New York City, a devastated  area with so much going on in the citizens within it. Not to mention the arguments we as a group encountered between ourselves. This reminded me of when the devil tried to tempt Jesus so many times but He never once gave into them. I mean yes, we were fighting at times but they were solved quickly and just strengthened everyone. There were so many times during our trip that a Jesus moment happened, us going  to help people and just blessing the places they worked or even lived in. Leadership of the group was a difficult thing for us, some people didn’t agree with others and so stressful periods had to be addressed.After talking it out as a group, our mission hit us in the face and things became clear on what we needed to do. I was challenged personally by being the initiator and becoming bold enough to just pray for random people and strike up conversations with them. Throughout the four days of being there we were blessed with $100, help with transportation, meals by several people, and great testimonies of a variety of people. The Lord actually confronted me personally about my mindset of how the trip was said to go and the actuality of what it was. I had such high hopes for things to happen, but never realized things were going on that blessed the ones we were helping. I just broke down one night and humbled myself before God, and experienced such a one on one appointment that was so powerful and moved me to think in a better, positive way. The people we talked to on the streets or the ferry accepted the gift of prayer we had for them and were changed by what we shared. This one guy at Battery Park on Thursday I will never forget, I went up to him and asked if he would like me to pray for him. He said, “Why do you think that I need prayer?” At that moment I was thinking, this guy is not going to want to hear what I have to say. All I said to him was that I just felt like I needed to pray for him and he accepted it. Then just talking to him briefly I found out he has made poor health and family decisions and just wanted some help. Right then I knew God was moving in his heart and this guy would be changed forever by this random white kid from upstate New York. This whole trip was a crucial step for me in developing a stronger relationship with my peers and most importantly my Father. How God moves through us is so amazing and sometimes scary, but we just need to embrace what He has and the world will bend and fall to His feet.

Sword On The Mountain

Time has come for you to breakthrough,

in you I shall fill and make new.

You must climb this mountain of suffering and pain,

enduring this adventure there will be much to gain.

At the end you will lift a mighty sword so high,

on the top of the hill it will reach the sky.

Sickness will not get in your way,

God’s healing hand is upon you and there it shall stay.

Push towards Him and anything can be done,

during this the hearts of the lost shall be won.

Look to me when in trouble or in need,

I raise the weak and plant so much seed.

They grow strong and then start to sew,

the fruits of the harvest are here, everyone does know.

Days in head of you shall strengthen your core,

hearing my voice, speaking to the poor.

Follow Jesus’ word, spend time with Him,

His light will shine bright on you when you are dim.

Go forth and do what I am asking of you,

and what you are seeking for will come true.

Pain Is Gone

Walking through these seats I can feel so much,

going past the rows there is anger and fear in every touch.

Why are the students crying from within?

Can they not see their life of sin?

For we are here to show them the way,

a safe place for them to rest or stay.

But no, they hide true feelings deep,

not realizing the path they walk is so steep.

Tears and sorrow are as clear as day,

what they need is something they can not buy.

Something that our Lord Jesus did pay,

God is waiting for them to give it a try.

The chairs attack like a serpent in the wild,

bringing forth the fear we once had as a child.

I say, you are far greater than this,

because you are marked by a holy kiss.

The plans He has in store for you, I do not know,

they are powerful indeed, so trust in God and He will show.

Your pain shall be gone in His name,

the Almighty One, in whom there is no shame.
