Shout Until They Listen

Keep shouting until someone, starts hearing what YOU are saying

Keep repeating The Message, ‘til they understand everything

Eventually your intended audience, will hear your voice

God will open their ears to listen, so they won’t have a choice

For Yet-To-Be-Believers, are who YOU are trying to reach

About God’s Free Gift of Salvation, is what YOU wish to teach

God’s Amazing Saving Grace, paves the way, for this to happen

The Blood of Christ, cleanses our sin, the result is a win-win

For without the acceptance, of God’s Free Gift of Salvation

No repentance of sin, which means Eternal condemnation

Forever separated, from God’s Immediate Presence

If YOU wish to avoid this, then may I be of assistance

YOU think YOU might want to be, in God’s Immediate Presence

Then what I’m about to tell YOU, is of great significance

Jesus Christ, is The Way, The Truth, and The Life, He clears your path

It’s by following Him, that you’ll avoid, God Almighty’s Wrath

First admit you’re a sinner, and that YOU don’t deserve God’s Grace

YOU ask God to forgive your sin, to accept His Saving Grace

Jesus Christ shed His Blood, and He died upon The Cross for YOU

After three days, God raised Him from the grave, as He promised to

I repent, turn away from sin, and back to God Almighty

That Jesus Christ, through The Holy Spirit, resides within me

I relinquish control of my life, to Jesus, Forever

All my life, I have been looking for, His Eternal Answer

Yet-To-Be-Believer to Believer, by a heartfelt prayer

This is the simple message, YOU repeat, until they’re aware

God Loves them so much, He sent His One and Only Son, Jesus

So, I will put my Belief and Faith, in The Lord Christ Jesus

God’s Amazing Saving Grace, through His Free Gift of Salvation

My desire is to serve Him, wholly, that’s my motivation

To Love one another, as Jesus Christ has commanded me

And to be His Living Light, upon the World, for all to see

Good Deeds vs. Good Works

What is the difference between, good deeds and Good Works, YOU may ask

That depends, is Jesus Christ, your Lord and Savior, I would ask

And your answer to this defines, which YOU may be performing

Which one is worth, your Heavenly effort, an answer I’ll bring

We can’t do enough good deeds, to earn our way, into Heaven

No matter what we do, we can’t erase, the depth of our sin

For by Grace, YOU have been Saved, through Faith, and that not of yourselves

Meaning each must claim, God’s Free Gift of Salvation, for themselves

This is The Gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast

God Almighty, wants YOU to accept this, is what matters most

God’s Amazing Saving Grace, by God’s Free Gift of Salvation

So, what is this YOU ask, do YOU want to know, how this is done

The Blood of Jesus Christ, cleaned our sin, for all Eternity

Yes, He died upon The Cross, for mankind, for YOU, and for me

God raised Jesus, from the grave, on the third day, Alive, and well

Christ then ascended to Heaven, Alive, His Life Work, we tell

Once we accept, His Free Gift of Salvation, our life goals change

God starts to mold and change us, our thoughts begin to rearrange

We are His Workmanship, created in Jesus, for Good Works

He redeemed Us, His Own Special People, zealous for Good Works

Those who Believe in God, should be careful, to maintain Good Works

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your Good Works

So they may be fruitful, know each must learn, to maintain Good Works

Do good, ready to give, willing to share, be rich, in Good Works

The Grace of God, that brings Salvation, has appeared to all men

Only through Salvation, do we have a way, back to Heaven

He who humbles himself will be exalted, sounds good to me

Serving humbly, The Lord Jesus Christ and Our God Almighty

So, good deeds are great, but unless YOU have God, a bit empty

I don’t dismiss them lightly, yet I want YOU, to truly see

God’s Amazing Saving Grace, by God’s Free Gift of Salvation

Good Works come first, then later your Heavenly destination

If Satan Came Calling

I’ll give each of YOU, a hypothetical situation

What if Satan himself, came to YOU, with a proposition

He’ll give YOU, All of your heart’s desire, immediately

Then Satan states, if YOU will fall down, and truly worship me

He’ll give YOU, riches, fame, honor, glory, or your own Kingdom

Yes, unfortunately, this may seem, all too tempting for some

What would YOU do, what would YOU think, what would YOU truthfully say

My hope, is that to God Almighty, YOU would instantly pray

Now, let’s imagine, that your answer to Satan is, never

YOU put your Faith, in Jesus and God Almighty, Forever

Changing Satan’s temperament, from encouragement to anger

Obviously, Satan is quite miffed, at your truthful answer

So Satan changes his tactic, and he says calmly to YOU

Fine, what if I cause YOU pain, torture YOU, or even kill YOU

If YOU won’t bow down to me, I can do this, and so much more

Every opportunity to serve your God, I’ll close the door

Your family and friends, I will torment, until YOU give in

I will expose every single one, of your committed sin

YOU cannot run, YOU cannot hide, my eyes are centered on YOU

YOU have no idea, just what I can do for YOU, or to YOU

You’re standing toe-to-toe, with the devil, Lucifer, Satan

Keeping Jesus Christ and God, in your mind, shows your discipline

Now, as YOU prepare to state your answer, YOU say a quick prayer

YOU know Satan won’t like your reply, but YOU simply don’t care

I ‘m a Child of God, and Jesus Christ, is my Lord and Savior

Whatever YOU wish to do to me, with God, I will endure

YOU may torture, even kill my body, but not my Spirit

I shall always be a Believer, so you might as well quit

Satan, you tempted my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ this way

In honor of Him, I’ll remind you, of what He had to say

YOU shall worship The Lord your God, and Him only, YOU shall serve

There is only The Lord, My God, whom I shall worship and serve

Amazingly, Satan bows his head, and walks away from YOU

That’s because He knows, when Jesus Christ, stands firmly within YOU

YOU have withstood the test, which no one ever wishes to face

Standing toe-to-toe with Satan, and yes I mean face-to-face

Love The Lord, your God, with All your heart, mind, body, and Soul

Give your Life fully to God, through Jesus Christ, and His Control

Share God’s Amazing Saving Grace, His Free Gift of Salvation

Be a living example of Jesus’ Light, for everyone

Share What God Gives YOU To Share, Without Fear

Fellow Believers, I implore YOU, to share what God shares with YOU, with everyone, with the World.  When God speaks to YOU, sometimes He is telling YOU, things He wants YOU specifically to know, for yourself, for your Life.  But other times, He is telling YOU things, He wants YOU to share with others, with everyone, because it affects their lives, as well.  I will use myself as an example.  I’m a writer of Christian Poetry, Christian mini-Sermons, Christian Sermons, and Christian Bible Studies, too.  I feel that Jesus Christ, through The Holy Spirit, shares with me, what He wants others to know.  Many times, it feels like I’m simply taking dictation, meaning The Holy Spirit is speaking to me, and I’m trying to write down, what He is saying, as quickly as I can. Sometimes I’m awakened at night, and told what to write.  I have learned to get up, and start writing, because I will not remember it, in the morning.  The things I write are always Biblically based, by reading my Bible, and studying thoughts and themes.  Even when The Holy Spirit speaks to me, I make sure, what I write and share, is Biblically backed.  After all, I don’t want to share information, about God Almighty and The Lord Jesus Christ, if it’s incorrect.  This is one of my Spiritual Gifts, and I’m Blessed every day, to receive it.  I pray that I always give God The Glory, for the things He does through me, and what He does for me.  Am I unique, am I special, yes, but not in the way YOU may think.  All Believers are unique, We are each given Spiritual Gifts, which are to be used to spread God’s Message, God’s Amazing Saving Grace, God’s Free Gift of Salvation, with the World.  To help Yet-To-Be-Believers, to know what it means to accept Jesus Christ, as their personal Lord and Savior.  To teach fellow Believers, what it means to be a Child of God, and what He expects from each of Us.  We are to share, what God asks each of Us to share, with others, without fear! This is important, We are to share, God’s Words, with absolutely no fear!  After all, God Almighty is with Us, so who on Earth can harm Us?  Can man harm Us, absolutely, man can injure or even kill Our Mortal Bodies, but no man can harm or destroy Our Soul or Spirit.  Can Satan harm Us, absolutely, Satan can injure or even kill Our Mortal Bodies, but even Satan cannot harm or destroy Our Soul or Spirit.  So, YOU see, YOU must share The Gospel, with absolutely no fear.  Fear is what Satan counts on, to hold YOU back, to mute YOU, to keep YOU from using your Spiritual Gifts, as they were meant to be used, to share God’s Free Gift of Salvation, with others, with the World!  God does speak to YOU, and He expects YOU to use your Spiritual Gifts, for His Glory, not yours!  Always, give God The Glory, for everything He does through YOU, because without God, YOU truly can do nothing!  So, share what God shares with YOU, with everyone, with the World, it’s God’s Command, and He is counting on YOU!

God’s Path

God has a specific path, which only YOU can walk, take that first step, and never leave His Path!  When God created YOU, He also created a specific, dynamic path, He intended YOU to walk.  Granted, until YOU accept God’s Amazing Saving Grace, His Free Gift of Salvation, by accepting The Lord Jesus Christ, as your personal Lord and Savior, YOU cannot find His Path.  YOU may live your entire Life, never finding His Path, unfortunately.  YOU may find His Path, when you’re young, or perhaps when you’re older.  Once YOU take that first step, accepting Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, His Path is opened and your Life will never be the same.  God does not guarantee, that it will be a smooth or easy path to walk, because it will not be.  I want to make this point clear.  YOU will have “hills and valleys”, YOU will have “tragedies and triumphs”, and these simply must be.  Even The Lord Jesus Christ, did not have a smooth or easy Life, think of how His Mortal Life ended.  So, if God would not give His Only Son, an easy Life, why would He give YOU one?  Why is God called, “Our Father”, because He is Our Father, but also, He will treat Us, like Our Father.  He will guide YOU, He will teach YOU, He will discipline YOU, and He will also Love YOU, unconditionally.  When YOU walk away from His Path, when YOU make Life mistakes, He will shake His Head, and say “I warned YOU”, or “I told YOU, not to do that”.  Yes, YOU will be Lovingly Disciplined, but it’s something YOU knew was coming and truthfully expected.  God molds and changes YOU, by the Life Choices YOU make, the trials, tragedies, and triumphs, have a specific purpose.  To change YOU to be more like Him, and less like the rest of Us.  God, like all fathers, wants YOU to live up to your potential, to be the best YOU can be, to use the Spiritual Gifts, He has given YOU.  Unlike earthly fathers though, God Almighty, does not desire for YOU to live up to your humanly potential, He want YOU to live up to your Spiritual Potential.  God has Good Works (works that cannot be done, unless YOU accept His Free Gift of Salvation) for YOU to perform, and if YOU don’t perform them, no one will!  As a Believer, YOU are to be God’s Son, Jesus Christ’s Light, upon the World!  YOU are to lead by Spiritual Example, meaning to share The Gospel, but also to Love one another, to spread God’s Love, with the World.  In order to do this, there are things to aide YOU, along the way.  Reading God’s Word, The Holy Bible, daily, is one way that God Speaks to YOU, and I’m not talking about the words YOU read, but what God tells YOU, in your heart.  Fellowship with other Christians, helps YOU to learn more about God and His Plans for them and for YOU.  Daily prayer, daily communing with God, one on one, is another way, which God Almighty speaks to YOU.  Coming to the realization, that when YOU accepted The Lord Jesus Christ, as your personal Lord and Savior, He came to live within YOU, through The Holy Spirit.  Meaning Jesus Christ is with YOU, always.  Think of it this way, when YOU step away from God’s Path, darkness falls upon YOU, but when YOU return to His Path, His Loving Light shines brightly upon YOU!   Walking His Path, what does this entail, YOU ask?  Sharing how He has changed your Life, performing the Goods Works YOU were created for, Loving one another, Loving even your enemies, entertaining strangers, and sharing about His Free Gift of Salvation, and so much more.  So remember, God has a specific path, which only YOU can walk, take that first step, and never leave His Path!

Will YOU Touch Lives

When YOU share The Gospel, YOU may not fully understand all the lives YOU touch.  People who are in the general area, whom YOU were not speaking directly to, are but one example.  Have YOU ever thought about the “ripple effect” (as in a pebble tossed into a body of water)?  The ripples from the water, touch every piece of shoreline, right?  Why do YOU think Social Media websites flourish, because of the “ripple effect”.  Because, YOU join, YOU tell your friends to join, they tell their friends to join, and soon YOU have a flourishing Social Media Website.  Cell phone companies do it and Internet Websites depend on it.  So, what does the “ripple effect” have to do, with sharing The Gospel, YOU ask?  By sharing The Gospel, even with just one person, it begins (YOU tossed the pebble into the water).  They may tell five friends or family members, how He has changed their Life, and let’s say one of the five, accept God’s Free Gift of Salvation, and He changes their Life.  That’s how The Gospel spreads, and continues to touch lives.  Sharing The Gospel, God’s Amazing Saving Grace, God’s Free Gift of Salvation, with just one person, can make a World of difference.  It’s also a command, from The Lord Jesus Christ Himself, to go and make Disciples, Baptizing them, in the name of The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit/Ghost.  When YOU share The Gospel, and how accepting Jesus Christ, as your personal Lord and Savior, has changed your Life, changing YOU, from the inside out, YOU are giving that person the opportunity to learn about God and His Only Son, Jesus Christ.  Now, sometimes that person may accept His Invitation, and accept His Free Gift of Salvation, but sadly many times they will not.  But YOU have “planted The Seed”, and in the future they may accept Jesus Christ.  When that person does accept Jesus Christ, that’s often called, “reaping The Harvest”, i.e. someone else “planted The Seed”, and the person with them now, witnesses that individual, accept Jesus Christ.  In sharing The Gospel, YOU may be the person, who “reaps The Harvest”, but know that someone else “planted that Seed”.  Also, in sharing The Gospel, YOU may nurture a fellow Believer, to yearn to learn and do more.  YOU may even ignite or reignite, a fellow Believer, to explore his/her potential, to use his/her Spiritual Gift(s) to share The Gospel themselves.  Again, YOU may not witness, be around, when these things happen or occur, but YOU did have a hand, in its outcome.  One day, when We stand before Jesus Christ, He will surely show Us, the lives We touched, that We didn’t even know about.  Now, sometimes, years later, YOU may be told about a Life, YOU helped change, simply by sharing what The Lord Jesus Christ, means to YOU, and how He has changed your Life.  It will truly warm your heart, and bring tears to your eyes, when YOU learn, how YOU helped to change a person’s Life.  Yes, I know, it was actually The Lord Jesus Christ, and God Almighty, who truly changed their Life, but YOU did have a hand in it.  Rejoice in this knowledge, give God The Glory, for the things He does through YOU and for YOU.  Be a Blessing to others, Love one another, share The Gospel, God’s Amazing Saving Grace, God’s Free Gift of Salvation.  YOU just never know, all the lives YOU will touch.
