"I Do Believe" The purpose of LIFE is to {Living In Faith Ever} to enrich God within us to an optimum level so that We as Humans can be guided by God to fuel out brothers and sisters with the same driving force to connect with the living God, to His existence and to See the Invisible, Believe the Incredible, and to Receive the Impossible to our everlasting journey to Heaven.

It was their night they shone bright as they danced their sweet dance Two lovers embraced in their world of romance. They laughed and they cried as their eyes locked in stare It was their world for this moment as if no one was there. And their steps they so flawlessly glided in tune, To a melody that touched everyone in that room. Their passion brought envy to onlookers there, Who secretly questioned their own love affair. But as the night closed and came to an end The lovers were blind to what lie round the bend. The house and the cars and the jobs that went bad The kids drove them crazy and their savings were drab. So they fought to hold on to the things in their life, That caused them so much of their pain and their strife. They fought with each other like enemies do, And dismissed in their life everything that was true. So when sickness and hardships and troubles occurred, Their vows to commit seemed truly absurd. Their home and their kids would now take a backseat, For their moral obligation they chose not to meet. So I Ask … What happened to that dance they danced so well? With passion and truth everyone could tell. What happened to their dance where they held so tight? What happened to the wonder of their glorious night? What happened to the words that charmed their ears? With a passionate rhythm that brought them to tears. What happened to those vows that poured from their heart? The "I love you forever and till death do us part". For these aren't just words we borrow for the day, From another who tells us this is what we must say. We say them cause it's what we feel true in our heart, It's a God given blessing we commit from the start. But these words are now lost as they fall on deaf ears, Since the pain and the struggles they've created these years. So the lesson here learned dear people of odd, Is that love is so fragile but made strong with our God. So stop fighting for power and money or need, For all of this nonsense is only our greed. Keep God in your life and he'll walk you through, When heartache and pain and losses ensue. For why commit vows in the eyes of our God, And not call on him when life gets too hard? For the truth of our vows we are all meant to see, is that marriage is not, made of two, but of three If reading these words ring some truth in your heart, Decide that today you will make a new start. Go hug your spouse and say something kind Don't let the small stuff cloud up your mind. We're all just lost souls who are trying to cope If not there for each other then where is the hope? You see, the anger, the fight that in us abide, Is only the insecure child inside. So rise up above all this fear and this pain, And see all the beauty that there is to gain. By trusting in God and his will for you Together forever he'll see you both through. For life is too short for our miserly ways cheap on our love hence dreading our days. He made us to love in all that we do To wake up each morning and start us a new. So pray for your spouse, ask God to be kind To the person you prayed in the beginning to find. They're still the same person you loved from the start But life and it's troubles have hardened their heart. You vowed that you'd love them in sickness and health Now is your chance to show God what you felt. So rise up my friend, don't say that you're through For what if your loving God gave up on you?
God has a plan, And it is out of my hands.
Four corners. Stands, four players. Quarrels of foul cries, collided. Facing each nemesis into quadrants, divided. Individuals motivated by objectives. Devising plans, careful detectives. Goal to achieve the highest rank, careful steps--discriminate. Going by the hit-list, tunnel vision, hindrances must eliminate. Scoping intensely, measuring opponents, methodical evaluation. Staying alert, mind assessment, sedulous investigation. Shrill of the first struck, the red bullet--bounces. Instant reflex, ricochet the shot, violence--denounces. The King may bend the rules, charges swift modification. The Pawns are summoned, critical prosecution. The Bishop prays for the suspects, classified praises, flattery denunciation. The Queen cradles a heart, each beat rebounds, battery probation.
Loyalty One self Virtuous Eternity
There's many people who claim they've nothing to "hide!" They tend to use the rainbow as a source of their "pride." But if you read in the book of Genesis, it is revealing. God's purpose of the rainbow had a different meaning! The rainbow was there when much of mankind disappeared! There was a promise of God that was so very clear. He promised to never again destroy man with a flood. This was his promise... An extension of his love! It was never intended as his approval for perversion! Mankind still needs a Jesus filled holy conversion! The colors of the rainbow can't wash away sin's dark stain! This can only happen by the power of Jesus' name! The colors are beautiful… But man's heart is filled with deceit! Without the soul cleansing power of Jesus… We're never complete! No court decision can give the freedom that many desire! Only the power of the cross can change you this very hour! The only way to find equality with God, is through the cross! Without his words of truth… We are forever LOST! Look past the colors of the rainbow! Seek the power of the blood! Then you too, can be changed from God's power from above! By Jim Pemberton
Before we were thought of or time had started, God put US in His Son's name.. And each time we pray, you'll see its true, You can't spell Jesus without including US. Were a pretty big part of His wonderful name, For US, He was born; And His great love for US is the reason He died. Isn't it thrilling and splendidly grand He rose from the dead, with US in His plan? The stones split away, the gold trumpet blew, egospelexpress And His resurrection was for US. As JesUS left the earth with His wonderful ascension, When He felt there was one thing He just had to mention. "Go into the world and tell them it's true that I love them all - Just like I love you." So many people are Christian brothers and sisters, Don't all the others have a right to know JesUS too? It all depends on what we do, He'd like them all to know, But it all starts with US. Rev.

It's not a lesson to be taught Or a skill to be acquired It's the nudge to move forward Open when the time is right It's the spirit inside God leading on the way On the journey to discover He is all you need It's the courage to let go Say yes instead of no Reveal what you've been holding back As Jesus takes the wheel It's the realization that it doesn't matter What others think of you God leads you where you're meant to be Just allow you to be you It's the standing up to fear Proclaiming "fear's not gonna win!" The battle has been fought too long Time to let the stalemate end It's the inspiration you've been holding For others and for yourself The light we've been dimming Rather than shining on His behalf It's the spontaneity in the decision To follow His call all the way Discovering peace in being you Wide open as the perfect creation you are The world out there is brutal But there's a Holy Man holding out His Hand His bravery now is all we have But His bravery of love is all we need May God bless you!
God, my ears are open And I know what to do. Please help me to make a decision That finally leads to You.

Living A Lifestyle That the Bible Forbids… I know of someone living a lifestyle that the Bible forbids. He told me; "how dare anyone tell me how I should live!" He added; "what I do is no one else's business but my own." "No one can ever tell me what I do in my home!" When given scripture that clearly forbids what he's doing… It's the backward kind of life… That he's choosing! He claims Jesus is his lord, in spite of his moral depravity. It's like he has, in his body, an "infected cavity." God gave to us his word, with his holy instructions! If we don't obey, it'll lead to our spiritual destruction! It doesn't matter if 10,000 churches say that it's o.k. to do! God requires a righteous and holy way of living, for me and YOU! There are choices we all have, that are to be made! Are you going to be victorious in Christ? Or sin's slave??? Have you thought about living for Jesus? And what it cost? If we're not sacrificing our lives for him, we're forever lost! If you're one who's caught up into a life filled with perversion… May I introduce you to the blood of Jesus? And a righteous conversion? God gave to each of us, HIS rules and commandments to live by! It's either God's rules, or man's, that you'll either live or die by! Won't you choose a life that God has chosen to give you? He created mankind! It's no secret how much he loves you! The opportunity is here! It may never come again! Won't you let the power of Jesus break the bondage of sin? Jesus can set you free! Won't you let him help you? He's patiently waiting… Just because he wants to! By Jim Pemberton 10/07/13
Omniscient guy Yet he lets bad things happen How can he exist?
Our love grows stronger, Even beyond the distance, Even beyond the days. I know you're with me always And I'm always with you; In God together we're together forever And physically we'll be together forever soon.
I've watched the war from behind closed doors; Eyes too glued to close. And now knowing what's in store, there's porn no more. God's love is the only hope we know. We are forgiven because of the love that is Jesus. We are saved because of the love that is Jesus. We give our lives to the Father for we are His children and He loves us. We are loved! No matter what we've done, we are loved! Confess and ask for forgiveness; This is such a beautiful gift! Thank You God! Thank You Jesus! You forgive me! You save me! You change me! I am changed! I am new! I am renewed! I am forgiven! I am saved! I am changed! There's porn no more For God's hope is in store! There's porn no more For God's love is the hope of the world!
I'm worried where the next dollar will come from. Will she ever arrive? Will she ever show up? But why am I worrying? Stop it! It's all in God's Great Hands! It's all under God's control! It's all within His plans! It's all His And He will provide Because He is our Father! He loves us! It's all His! Trust Him! I know it's difficult; He will not lead you wrong. He knows where you need to go. He knows what you need to endure. It's all His plan. It's all in His Hands! Lay down your life; Give the control. He is in control! Thank You Father! Trust Him! It will all be okay! Trust Him! Thank You God! Thank You Jesus! Thank You Holy Spirit! I love You always! I trust You always! I trust You! I trust You! Yes, yes I do! I trust You! I love You! Amen!
My heart is on Your shoulders, And You are lifting me up. With every spoken tender gesture, I fall a little farther in love.
I can act insane But DO NOT Make me feel worthless I belong in God's family He will bless my future generation Don't punish me for Being myself – Don't envy my glee I can act like an Adult, but I'd Prefer to have joy… Not stress… That piles upon us in our Everyday lives Being childlike is A rare beauty – No one prizes it… No one came across it… In this lifetime… I can laugh all day I can make you smile If you'd accept my Childlike dreams of mine Don't treat me like a sick swine Renew my young heart Give me the ability To kill the old man… I have my place in God's family He'll be adored and glorified We'll exchange prayers and hugs By my future generation I beg of you – Don't kill my childlike mentality I'll behave myself… I'm positively sure that I'll make you happy I'll still have pieces of a child in me And pass it on to my future generation…
I don't have all the pieces together; This puzzle is just too much, But God already has it figured out As He is solving this from above.
A Very Inviting Temptation! I remember of a particular situation. I was offered a very "inviting" temptation. The situation I was in... I didn't belong! And lost any sense of "right and wrong." At first... I felt no guilt or shame. And brought embarrassment to my family's name. I tried to explain this to my wife and kids. I heard; "Dad... please... no more fibs!" The Godly principles were "tossed to the side," As the sin inside caused arrogance and pride. Soon, all in my life that truly mattered... Was gone! My life was empty and shattered! I was sorry for all of the problems I caused! This time... I took a moment to pause. I cried to God to rescue me from my sin. I confessed! Would God help me once again? I read in the Bible of Jesus' grace and love! This time the help I needed had to come from above! I asked him for a fresh and brand new start. He removed the stain from a broken heart. He restored to me the joy I once had. I'm so blessed! Jesus has made me glad! Jesus is the reason I'm here today! I LOVE HIM more than words can say! By Jim Pemberton
God made all people But some better than others? Stop being silly.
I have fallen victim so many times To nobody's fault except only mine. I will ask for forgiveness and have faith, Even though I feel like I am not saved.
Every second we're away, We grow stronger everyday Until that day will finally come When we know it's okay And we will rest in each other's arms In peace from God above, No longer missing one another Because we're together; Built forever in each other's love.
Follow your dreams and follow your heart; God has shown you the path to start. Never give up and always have faith; Do what you love and enjoy this place!
Sometimes I get stuck in the struggle And I forget that this life is real, Full of real love, Full of real people, Full of real strength, Full of real faith. Look around Because this is real. Welcome to reality; This is God's amazing life!
Overture of lies: Don't take it literally Monotheism
Now I'm just a failure Too afraid to make a mistake. I've already been there, Stuck in a route that leaves no breaks. What is Your plan for me Father? At once I thought I knew. Now I'm disillusioned; Please bring me back to You.
Jesus, I Pray for My Brothers! Years ago, I suggested to my brothers that we pray. They simply laughed at what I had to say! I thought it would be good to get together... That God's love would bind our hearts forever! Division took place and took the "upper hand." I don't think they'd listen or even understand! Over the many years that just went on by... They never once took the time to say; "hi!" Even though they never once seemed to care. I decided to take some time in deep prayer! It was like they would make fun of what I said. At times, maybe they wished I were "dead." At this time, there's a strong and powerful force That's blowing their lives are way off course! I pray that God's spirit will get a hold of them! And let them now how much he loves them! I pray that God's love will be the glue that binds them! May God's mercy and joy be what finds them! I pray that evil will not find it's way in their home! And they would allow Jesus to rule on their "throne." Even though they tried to cast me off, as a "fool." It's God's words, in their lives, that must rule! Jesus can turn around even the worst situation! By the power of his glory and resurrection! Please, dear lord, bind them forever as won! Bless their home! Their daughters and sons! By Jim Pemberton
My brother came to me, desperate for prayer! Filled with hopelessness and despair! I reached out to him to begin to pray… But I couldn't find any words to say! The Holy Spirit began tugging at my heart within… Convicting me of holding on to a "secret sin." THIS SIN, God told me I must first let go, For this was eating at my soul! My prayer life had been such a mess! I repented! And to God… I confessed! I called out to Jesus' precious name! Inviting him into my heart to reign! On bended knees before my Lord I began to bow, My prayer was going to be answered… Somehow! The prayer request for my brother Was going to be met! For God has never failed me YET! By Jim Pemberton
Inspired by Psalms 23:1-6 (enjoy, poets!!) : v. 1-3 I'm a lost sheep, hoping for a godly sleep LONGING for a delightful sleep In search of my beloved shepherd… I was willing to pray for some rewards to reap To pray for a heavenly dream… Not a frightening nightmare…or I'll scream! Now, I'm satisfied With godly sleep I lie my head down In green pastures That's where I seek God's comfort… The paths of righteousness Renews my faithfulness v. 4-6 I'm passing through the shadow of death… In yield of Your staff The Lord whispers in my ear gently: "Fear no evil, for I'm with you!" To pick me up from the ground… And heal me…I'm trying my best Let me have a moment's rest In search of Your Promise Land…Your nest Fill my cup with Your mercy And give me a piece of your serenity… A taste of sincerity...a slice of sensibility... A flavor of integrity... I beg You to take care of me… And hand me a portion of eternal glee You are my kindhearted, generous shepherd My comforter…my reliever My God…I'm most certainly YOUR believer You aren't a deceiver… I was once a downright nonbeliever You are MY awesome God I'm strengthened and comforted by Your rod! I'm walking Your narrow path of mercy and goodness… I'm dwelling in God's house~ I was once a lost sheep Mourning night after night… I used to forlorn day after day I'm alarmed and I'm yearning for Your light Your might…Your delight To get through my plight…to fight the good fight I used to weep bitterly in dismay I was once a lost sheep But, now I'm enjoying my godly sleep I'm skipping to and fro In God's green pastures…I lie… I sing …I grow…I wander off…I fly… I float…in God's still waters – His PEACE will never die! He lifts me up on cloud nine I'm a lost sheep in godly sleep He nurtures me like His child – I'm feelin' fine I'm a joyful sheep in godly sleep
There are proud people "coming out!" Yet, they have no idea what real life is about! Many brag about a lifestyle that's revealing. Yet have lost God's purpose and meaning! I'm coming out for Jesus! I've nothing to hide! I've asked him to take away my sin and pride! Of my own accomplishments... I've nothing to boast! But I'm proud of God the father, son and holy ghost! Whatever pride we have… We've all sinned! Jesus told us; "you must be born again!" Nothing that I've done is worth "bragging of." Rather, I've done things that I'm ashamed of! But God reached down to where I was standing! And filled my life with his peace and understanding! The more I have of Jesus, the less I need of me! His power alone is what can truly set me free! I'm coming out for Jesus! The redeemer of my soul! I'm going to shout it! So the whole world may know! I'm not ashamed of Jesus! I am NOT! By his mercy… My sins have been blood bought! For each step you take to God… He takes two! Won't you allow him to do his work through YOU? A life of righteousness and holiness is what God is asking! Come now! And receive HIS life! It's everlasting! By Jim Pemberton
In eternity past, the Father asks the Son to go down. Having equal Love for humans the "Yes" comes fast. When Creation leads to time, the world waits for 4 BC Marking the start of the end of Satan's long rule at last. Did Satan laugh at the poor setting for Jesus' birth here? A cry in a cave for animals pierces the night, changing all. Shepherds worship; later wise kings give precious gifts. Mary and Joseph marvel, yet Herod's rage soon gives a call. A call to leave quickly to Egypt where they'll live as refugees. Sparing the Christ child a merciless death of those under three. When Herod finally dies, Jesus' parents head back to Israel. Still not fully safe from mad rule, Nazareth is their destiny. Here the child will grow to be a man, following His parents rule. Surprising the Pharisees with His wisdom at 12, at 30 riling them. Preaching with authority, healing the incurable, loving the humble. Women weep repenting at his feet; one's healed by touching his hem. Zacchaeus risks going into a tree and finds Jesus' salvation so free. Nicodemus comes at night to ask and ends amazed he's met God's Son The Woman at the Well gets far more vital water than the usual kind. And many healed can't but tell others of the miracle God has done. The babe in the manger now stills the storm and his disciples believe Even seeing the dead arise, like Lazarus in the tomb for four days. Foretelling a greater rising coming but not before immense suffering. The sword Mary was told would pierce her heart is soon on its way. For most religious leaders cannot tolerate Jesus' lack of respect for them. Calling them whitewashed tombs and pointing pride out to Pharisees. Not endearing Himself with the establishment, but following God's way. Knowing soon He'd be betrayed, arrested, tried and tortured brutally. Still, he calmly feeds them body bread and blood wine in a final feast. Tells them the Spirit comes, and prays they'd be one like Father and Son. Heads to the Garden, prays to His Father for another way if possible. Your will be done ends and the soldiers come and with Judas kiss it's done. The most pure, innocent Man who's ever lived is now in hostile hands. A trial by dark without witness or any rights – and off to Pontius Pilate. Then Herod then back to Pilate whose wife dreamed Jesus was innocent. But the people's cries to crucify win over – Jesus caught in intrigue's net. The child of Bethlehem now hung on a Cross between two criminals. The Light of the World by darkness and our sins is being slowly slain. Feeling forsaken by God, but then "Into Your hands I commit my spirit." Reunited and soon to show the world that this Child was no ordinary one. Risen as Jesus predicted, for how can death conquer everlasting, perfect life? From childhood to adult not one sin, not once yielding to Satan's temptations. Proving we can have life eternal if we confess and believe in Jesus as our Savior. Calling His followers in risen form to await the Spirit and share Christ to the nations
I recite your name in the whispers of the wind for bonded to my heart are you until the end I lifted the chalice drank deeply of its wine I felt of its effects the fullness of divine Like the chords of piano and dulcimers delight your melodies do waft through every thought at night a master plays the chords a violin with strings plays my heart like a harp whose music on it rings Your fingers play me like the stroke of piano keys every touch I enjoy your heart it aims to please you are a symphony whose chords have touched my heart a birth cries transmission of transformation every part Songs like an aria may yet I learn to sing whose vocals resonate the inmost of my being You left no line untouched no strand is mine alone made sure you did I knew would make you me your own Somewhere I lost myself I gave it all to you things I don't understand reasons appear askew I inhale you my breathe to deepest parts within need you to embrace me as close as your own skin We retire together speak 'neath the baleful skies of every trial in life and those who live in lies greet me in the morning curl around me at night sing to me of love songs of futures very bright The wedding of my heart tears away my mind I want to forever hold you for all of time Are not your words a bath that removes the worlds dirt a balm of medicine to heal the deepest hurt Its surpassing sweetness a palate of good taste love so intoxicating no drop will go to waste the adversary's here and tramples the flowers but you oh my beloved too freely roam my hours My life is but a breath an instrument of song music tells the stories of lives and right and wrong The scent of yesterdays the pathways of the past forward now the future into the everlast Proverbs 16 24 Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.

Dear God, Let me know if she is real; You know most days just how I feel. If it's love that she really needs, I pray it's love that she receives. Is there a secret and a promise I should keep? I'll pray for her when I'm on my knees. If truly someone should be there for her, Let heaven and my heart care for her. ©2014 Honestly JT

Are we awake or are we still sleeping? Blind to the hurt, and deaf to the weeping. Ashamed of religion and supportive of the new, Aware of the lies and hidden from what's true. Worship the evil and turn away the pure, Developing disease with an unknown cure. Starving the poor and overfeeding the wealthy. Killing the sick and drugging the healthy. Going to war for some kind of power, Building tall structures over all types of flower. Cutting the trees and polluting the air, All out of greed, with no sort of care. Turning us against our own, And help from up above. Making us beings of hate, Instead of ones of love. Demonizing the mystic, Criticizing the wise. Making our own family members, Into people that we despise. Awaken to the torment, Be aware of all the pain. Those who are misleading, And claiming that we are insane.
God required a sacrifice, Unspotted, perfect, clean; Nothing less than His own Son, The sacrifice supreme. His life was laid down willingly To redeem lost, fallen man, Without protest, without a word, My sacrificial Lamb. His blood was shed, poured out, My soul to purify; The Spirit's all consuming fire The sacrifice applies. Blessed, holy Son of God, Sweet perfume, divine, The essence of Your sacrifice Has won this heart of mine.
My eyes Witness your departure My eyes Are dripping with hopelessness… My eyes start to blur… Melancholy put me under pressure… Is there a cure to my disease? You don't see The shards of hope that once brought us back together Just let me search for safety I'm strong enough to realize that I'm no longer The weakest prey out there… And I'm left in my solitude… Do you hear me whimpering like a distraught puppy left on the train tracks? I'm close to my demise…save me and take me home Nourish me…and be my beloved friend Will this friendship last forever? Hopefully it has no end Will this cheerful moment help us get along with each other? Because of you…I feel the need to run I keep an eye on you – I worry that you'll hurt yourself again Because of you…My freedom is nearly gone I don't wanna be caught off guard again Because of you…EYE can't picture a solution for our vexing dilemma Because of you…eye can't focus on my long-term goal And I'm left in my solitude… Do you sense that I'm giving in to failure? And I'm close to my demise… Only to find myself disappear…I can't endure The hardships that you place upon me… Could you boost up my confidence to overcome My atrocious anxiety? I'm just waiting for some sun To keep me in good hands… To strengthen me with perseverance … I'm just waiting until His son Leads the world outtah Egypt and reveals to us… His radiance…His dazzling Kingdom – Vibrant with glee Your undying sympathy dawns upon us I'm overflowing with indescribable joy You're a candle in the night… We meet eye to eye… What a sight…what a precious sight
ALERT: A carpenter's son is loose in the Temple Birds flutter, animals hustle, merchants scream. The zeal for Jesus' Father's house consumes Him As the place for foreigners to pray had become a zoo. ALERT: A prophet is setting up for a Baal battle. Baal's priests even cut themselves yet no fire. After taunting, Elijah fills his altar with water. Calling on God, fire consumes and people bow. ALERT: An old man is building a huge boat ship. Without a cloud in the sky and only son's to help. When finished the animals come on call to board. Rain starts, doors close – 8 saved by holy passion. ALERT: Jesus is telling a tax collector he'll join him for dinner. Heedless of the Pharisees despising and the crowd's surprise. Zacchaeus totally changes – offering to multiply stolen money. A single sinner saved multiplies even more this holy passion. ALERT: Peter plus are preaching in the Temple again. After being imprisoned for just that, now rearrested. Whipped by the authorities, the disciples rejoice - For they've been counted worthy to suffer with Christ. ALERT: Daniel's praying openly even after it's become illegal. The royal advisers gleefully have the king throw him to the lions. Strangely they don't seem hungry till after Daniel is pulled out. So the king openly praises Daniel's God for this amazing miracle. DOUBLE ALERT: Jesus is talking to a Samaritan woman!!!! Breaking cultural barriers to share the message of salvation To her who has been married 5 times and is living with the 6th. She believes he's the Messiah and brings the town to Christ! ALERT: Paul's going back into the same town that stoned him. He's preaching again after shipwreck, jail, beatings, and such. Persecution seems to encourage Paul that he's doing the right. Passionately following the Savior who turned Him 180 degrees. ALERT: Bible translators burned at the stake for God's Word. Missionaries avoid death and disease long enough to share life. Stirring Holy Passion in receptive people who repeat the cycle. Changing cultures in bondage into those sharing Jesus' love. ALERT: What passion has the Lord put on your heart? Mine? Can we pray to see His will find its way in our everyday lives So the lost shall see, hear, find Christ and grow to share Him? Eternity is forever, this life is not. Fill us Lord with holy passion.
"Hello It's Jesus" I'm 6' 3" and 220lb man and He brought me to my knees, Yes it was Jesus I wasn't the kind of man who would follow anyone, I did follow Jesus But when Jesus touched my heart and blessed me and I fell to my knees and I cried, I believe in and love Jesus You can't see Him or touch Him, He's like a breeze that covers our land, Yes I know Him its Jesus Strong enough to rule the heart of any person, Yes to Jesus He'll lift you up and you'll see all around as He turns your life inside out, Yes that's Jesus Most people are like me and they struggle day in and day out, with doubt, Cause by satan Too busy with having fun and playing games to care about the love and care He can give them, or To listen to Jesus When I see children with their mother I thank God our Father for our Brother, Jesus Rev.

May Jesus Be Glorified! May Jesus be glorified! His enemies scattered! He's everything to me! And all that matters! Every battle in life… He's there with me! He is my protector… Because he loves me! He is my rock, high tower and my shield! Every evil sprit, to him, must yield! I've decided to join his army! The battle is won! Victory is assured! Through God's anointed son! My life with him, is eternally bliss! For he is mine! And I am HIS! By Jim Pemberton
As the sun smiled and fadeth behind the clouds The yawning earth uncloak her beauty to the moon Halfway through the night, a clock strikes '12' too soon Virgins carried a lamp and a vessel of oil Eagerly waiting for the groom's appearance Abounding in devotion, patience and perseverance Virgins grew weary and fell asleep, at midnight a cry was made "Behold the Bridegroom cometh" Here He comes and there the band of virgins goeth Virgins begin to trim their lamp But five neglected to watch and to pray They never anticipated so long a delay "Oh no! Our wasting lamps is dying out by day Please give us of thy oil! Please spare us a little of thy toil!" "No! We have no oil to spare Lest our lamps burn with dim flame The groom is come already, lest He vent blame" The unwise virgins were shut outside the banquet hall They were left anguishing in gross darkness In a night of eternal and unredeemed blackness Both parties were taken unaware But one was prepared for emergency As their lamps continually glow with fervency We are come to the last time Let your lamps burn and not quenched And be not a passive warmer on thy church-bench The Poet Preacher © 2013 Command the Israelites to bring pure, pressed olive oil to you for the lamp, to keep a light burning constantly.-Leviticus 24:2
I Once Loved to Tell Others Of Jesus! I once told others of Jesus! As a young boy... Witnessing for Christ, Is what I enjoyed! I told others of a time to repent... I loved to talk about Jesus, wherever I went! As the years went by, And I grew old. The things of God, I had no longer told. A coldness in my life, began to brew. Even God's word… I no longer knew. I only talked about God to people in the church. In my heart, was a hunger for a new search. A search to return to Jesus! My lost love! I fell on my knees! And cried to God above. I began to confess, to God, everything! A new love for him I knew he would bring. I began to feel his love come all over me. The chains were now gone! I was set free! If a coldness for Jesus dwells in you. Remember his love is faithful and true! Please come to Jesus! And be cleansed within! And experience the joy of being born again! By Jim Pemberton
My heart is beating with upbeat delight You astound me…in every shape and form My spirit is dancing with unbreakable might You surprise me…when you take my hand And pull me outtah my jail-like dorm And He dismisses me from my solitude… My eyes are glistening with bliss… And I'm far from my demise… Only to find that there's no need to feel helpless Why do you spoil me rotten with your fatherly affection? Just protect me from any harm Let me make my own decisions… To see the results in the long run You prize me as if I'm cherished like your carefree child You don't understand – I'm TOO foolish and wild I haven't even reached to full maturity But how eye hope to see myself grow and be set free From the world's mayhem Is there a solution to this problem? And I'm left with no answer… My eyes are eager to see…another bright day And the night is coming to haunt me… I find myself slowly disappearing from sight… When will God give me a purpose to fight? When will He feed me His awesome might? Just support me…especially during my downfalls Please answer my calls! And I'm left to venture off into His path… Eye can't escape my terrible nightmares Consider my calls of acceptance…my grief weighs a ton Let me pour forth my tears – Do me a favor and cast away my fears Steer me away from disorder and confusion Eye can see you're making great progress You're heading towards a brighter, superb future… My eyes No longer witness oblivion My eyes Looks beyond the earthly pain… bEyOnD the affliction I spot a rope in the distance. . . . . Push aside the waves…and let me Grab it this instant! God feeds me His love…and treats me Like a newborn infant! Eye see my Father with brand-new eyes I feel rare content And I feel hardly any resentment Eye cherish that REMARKABLE moment
I give my word a breath of life and those who give me strife I willingly do what needs to be done and do not wish to be won I smile a smile that lights up any face and hope to never disgrace I do what I am taught to do and that my help would be true I clam my words together and hope times will never weather I do have some faith in all matters and things to reach with ladders I hope for many things in heart and I cherish everyone that is part I do know one thing is set and with my life I would bet I will hold true to my words and make my world good towards
Blasphemy…cloud over their hearts of gold Their value gradually diminishes…their weapons turn to mold Serenity…deserted them and neglected them like orphans Their joy rapidly wears out…they mislaid their abundant portions They yearn, "RESTORE the walls of Jericho!" Anguish…shadows over their dwelling, sacred place Their weaknesses manipulate them – they're the definition of disgrace Danger…defeats them and tarnished them as if they were worthless Their prosperity shattered straightaway! REBUILD our merriness! They plead and pray, "Dona nobis pacem…" Hear our hesitation and supplication…we're beneath the bricks and remains We're buried alive literally! We're becoming one with the ground Fear and despair erases our soothing dreams…we're getting washed away in the drains We're searching for shelter…we're getting hunted down – we're barely surviving They churn… They coil… They drift away… They spoil… In their miseries… Does He hear their pleas? "SAVE ME!" "Bestow blessings upon us!" Are you ignoring us deliberately? "Give us a helping hand And lead us to the promise land!" Misfortune unravels in this city of bafflement Their strengths repaired our souls…we're the definition of bravery! Desolation and disbelief demolishes the walls of Jericho… Does anyone sense their resentment? Their charity transformed to greed suddenly – Their lack of optimism and gratitude Buried them down in captivity How can you bear their poverty? How can He save them from destruction and pity? They whisper on His Holy Hill, "Dona…Nobis…Pacem…" Don't let the battle overthrow 'em!
It's okay to pray; Do so everyday. Believe in what you say, And your life will be changed.
Has the Glory of God Left the Church? Before the next church service gets started… Should it read, on the door; "God's glory has departed? " Many come to worship and don't even know. That's God's glory left such a long time ago. Many build their Sunday experience on "past traditions." Built on man-made rules and "false expectations." They don't want to hear the gospel of holiness! "It may offend." Their pastor no long preaches on what the Bible says is sin. Some have been going to church for many years. Still looking for teachers with "itching ears." Is the true presence of God is no longer there? It's no longer found in their worship or prayer. God's judgment shall begin at this very place. It hasn't happened yet, because of his unfailing grace. If God's presence has been left from your life as well, Remember his love for you will, never fail. Seek his awesome presence each day you live! He gave his son for you! What more could he give? Won't you see his glory this very hour? And be renewed by his word and life-changing power! By Jim Pemberton
If some fruit is forbidden in Eden, Eden soon also will be forbidden. Volodymyr Knyr 2014
We don't need to go out and party, We don't need to drink, We don't need to socialize, We don't need to go shopping, We don't need to spend money, We don't need to go to a movie, We don't need to watch sporting events, We don't need to go out to eat, Because we found love, And our love is enough.
Still In Love With My Wife... My son came to me with a question on his mind. I said; "Not now son— I just don't have the time." He said, "Daddy—are you still in love with Mommy?" "Do you love her like you did when I was in her tummy?" My eyes choked with tears; "Yes son I really do!" "I'm in love with her... and I appreciate you." "Daddy—will you always love me like you do mom?" "Yes my son—my love for you will always belong." I looked down and much to my surprise. There were tears running down my son's eyes. He came running to me with arms wide open. "Thank you daddy" were his words spoken. I picked him up and gave him a great big hug. As I let him down, on my shirt I felt a tug. His little arm reached up to grab my hand. I knew that what I said, he began to understand. I love his mom so much—my wonderful wife. She's been such a blessing- a great part of my life! By Jim Pemberton
For Mother Teresa to see... the clarity of beauty between the murky folds of life to see... the simple truths of living between the horror and the endless strike to see... the innocent smiles of the children at play while the elder preach hate and division and continue to slay to see... the endless yearning for that simpler better place away from the hollow emptiness of this ostentatious space to see... the open vistas of this pale blue dot the soft reds and fruity greens as this home is all we have got to see... the tears of the dispossessed who have been cruelly cast aside and while we look the other way from their tears we may never hide to see... the endless hunger and despair and killing and greed in the name of God or of ideology or of some or the other creed to see... and to see it all and still stand tall to hold on to the humanity that resides deep within us all may be our only saving grace and though all of this sounds quaint and saccharine sweet I need to remember all that I've said the next time I look into a teary-eyed desolate face to see... that being human is simple if we only look beyond ourselves and see that we are all one, him and her and them and us and you and me...
the word as prophesied and revealed, to the holy spirit's delight pf presence. you came after me; with hearts ablaze, trying to touch me, with promises to last. uplifting the upright, enduring the course of time. fulfilled through trials and errors, untouched by any might of warriors. ever true to the hearts of many, no purer claim of evidence can come closer. the blessing of a promise; each one of us has to hold unto it, searching for thatone peace and contentment, glorious for any one eye to see, standing firmly to what we believe in, ready to make ever true the word our destiny.
God designed marriage as the real thing! Anything less, is what a counterfeit brings! His concept of one man and woman is very real. He's not interested in bowing to "man's appeal." His court of justice rings very loud and clear! The truth of his word shall NEVER disappear! You can look in Genesis and it is found! He created Adam from the dust of the ground! He designed Eve from one of his ribs! They were joined together as both lived! He didn't need a constitution to know "their rights." He gave them HIS WORD as their guiding light! Satan has been trying to pervert what God created! This is a truth. And need not be debated! We have cheapened the value of the marriage institution! And have added needless chaos and confusion! Through the Bible, one husband and wife are taught! Unless you want to live in Sodom, as did Lot! Ungodly perversions take many forms and kinds. And it soon piles up garbage into our minds! "What God has put together." "Let no man put asunder.!" Many ideas of "marriage," is a total blunder! One man and one woman is what God ordained in Eden. It was Adam and Eve. Not Adam and Steven! The choices in life are yours! And yours alone! Who is going to be the Lord, of your heart and home? By Jim Pemberton
I am living the dream. I stand here today, Cannot believe what I am about to say, But I am living the dream. At times, it's tough And it is not always easy. I might be condemned For choosing this path in life; Some may think it's too bag of a risk. When we give it our all, Our passion and our might, We can overcome and forget the fear To become who we are meant to be. I stand here today, Another tear ready to wipe away: You can do all you aspire to do! Set your mind and never give up! If I can do it, You can too! I can't believe I'm about to say this, But I am living my dreams. I am living the dream.
Nothing but a waste you're just a reckless disgrace too much power for a deceiver It's not right I see light It's not near enough for me to go It's my choice so don't you treat me like a play toy I'm not yours to control Cause I will storm in after you If you take her far away from me And I will storm in after you If you take her to the grave with thee You take our race for granted and you're highly overrated you're always taking my friends It's not right I see light It's not near enough for me to go It's our choice so don't you treat us like we're play toys we're not yours to control I will storm in after you If you take them far away from me And I will storm in after you If you try and take them to the grave
I wish To demolish my sorrow… I wish To forget the despair and gleefully grow… To forgive and seek the challenges of tomorrow… My downfalls and my failures… I wish To disappear I wish I had no fear… For God's near… I wish I could be a cheetah in the grassland I wish To store all of my energy for an evening run…I'd never give up in the process I wish My whole spirit could simply sponge in God's nature and make great progress And I truly wish I could stick to my daily plans of building a sturdier relationship with God I wish I had the merriness in my life especially during hardships… My countless wishes Brings me down to my weakest point… My countless wishes Overthrows me…but it helps me in the long run… I wish I could forgive My daily regrets and breakdowns I wish I could forget My despondency – embracing my frowns I wish To live a life without error Without a care I wish To be flawless when I make my everyday decisions And scare away The darkness that tries to make me give up I wish I had more time to overcome… These waves of emotions My countless wishes Brings me down to my disheartened state… My countless wishes Are like walls from every direction closing in on me… But it's a convenient tool in the future… I wish I could be live in someone else's shoes… But what good would it do? Would it lead me to the narrow pathway? Would it inspire me to push all of my doubts away? Would it push away the blues? Could He give me any clues?
Between my soul and God there yawns A chasm stretching out so wide I cannot see the other side From where I stand against the dawn. How great the gulf of human pride, Of degradation, sin and woe; Yet, I the true depth do not know. Nor can I judge it where I hide Among the trees, all covered o'er With self-made robes my mind contrives Of dubious good deeds and lies, Just withered fig leaves, nothing more. My soul cries out in agony, "Can no one turn the dreadful tide?" And Christ, the one I have defied, Stoops down to taste my misery. My heart is wrung in Sorrow's grip; An awful pounding fills the air, And, like a dog in mad despair With glassy eye and foaming lip, I stare in holy terror now As upward, out of that dark deep, A cross takes form. From steep to steep, It spans the gulf to where I bow. There, in my night, I dimly see The Son of God slain, crucified: How can two arms stretch out so wide In love to bridge infinity?
My desicion was made. I wouldn't allow myself to be controlled. If that makes me a rebel, then let it be. I'm a Rebel. At least I can Make my own choices now. I can love and care about others. "You are here by stripped from your wings." Then it was like someone had bound my wings and pushed me off a cliff. it felt like forever. til finally i reach the ground. When i hit, it felt like everybone in my wings had shattered. I had fallen. and It hurt so bad. but it was worth it.
Matzos slip into their mouths Voices project merrily...tonight is The night of Unleavened Bread Lamb and other delicious Meats and veggies... satisfies our taste buds What a splendid night it is! Wine's brewin' in our wine cups The dinner table - creates pleasant talk During this meaningful night There's moments of quietude When it comes to de-leavening our lives But, there's moments of gladness On this night of peacefulness Cheesecake - a delightful treat to savor During this night of pure bliss
Holy books says it all You taught me how to crawl This will never change Never ends never fades Dear God where you are? Shattered piece of childish dreams This will never change Never ends never fades. I can fight for all my life, Not broken, not broken inside Never be so frustrated, Not going to commit suicide. Fuc*ing faith will fall, Mortals will stand tall Hell and heaven are all the same Live your life, don't die in vain Only you and I can make A better world for tomorrow Have faith in yourself And wipe off the tears of sorrow Make me scream, Make me cry I'll never fail to try. This night's has an end No pain will remain
If we break life down into small little victories, It won't be long until the battle is over, And before we know it, The war will be won.
UNSUPPORTED CODE Christ Loves You! Christ loves you... Yet you reject his grace? You've "gone your own way," And found your own place. You've made many mistakes your whole life through. And betrayed the one, whom you said; "I love you!" God gave you, Christ, his son... He shed his blood and died. Why do you run from him and "try to hide?" God gave you his word and his life-changing power. Do you curse his name, with each passing hour. An unmerited love God's freely given. But you refuse to change the way you've been livin'? Return to Christ now... Time is running out! Find out what true life is really all about! Right now.... All of your sin can be washed away. Christ loves you! More than words can say! He offers you peace and a haven of rest. With Jesus in your life… You'll be blessed! God is Jehovah... Your provider. The all sufficient one. Behold the glory and majesty of my precious son! Come and drink of his living water, which shall never run dry. Why not call on Jesus today? And give HIM a try? By Jim Pemberton
It's A Pleasure to Live for Jesus ! Jesus... You're so good and wonderful to me! You've changed my life abundantly! I've seen your blessings in my famly as well. You're so good to me! More than words can tell! All of my sins... You have forgiven! And are patiently showing me your way of livin'! Your kindness to me... I have not deserved. Your kindness to me has lovingly been served! You've been patient with me! And so kind! Your promises have stood the test of time. Thank you Jesus! You're always my best friend! And have been there for me again and again. How precious you are— words alone can't express. Calling "Abba father"—I am so blessed! I long to be refreshed by your presence today! I love you more than words can say! By Jim Pemberton
lifting us up by your humility; only by your grace, the hearts of many will be blessed, by the sufferings that you bare, through you GOD is faithful. the outpouring of the truth: by your courage and boldness you have shown, not only by merits, also by the fruits of the spirit, can your actions be guided, to work with the oneness, founded by the firmness of your loyalty, surrounded by the humility of your strength, crafted by your works of mercy, can we be true example of a christian blessing. serve your faith; accept the faithful, take care of your faith, live to understand and work for His purpose, and never forget to pray for the faithless, remember as He is worthy, by your actions can you be worthy.
Let us be judged by our past, but let it not be by you or me. We who are so easy to become Bias are not able to just fully deem another's nature. We who ourselves are to be judged in the end of times, are not fit to put labels on another and their makings. Let us be judged farely, for I would rather be judged not by envious eyes or dictating tongues, but by holy eyes and angelic tongues. Let my wrongs be sorted through by incurious spirits, so in this manner my mistakes and regrets won't become devilish so quickly to heavenly eyes. May my mistakes have been seen before, and regrets be found as acts of human nature. May my secrets implore their better nature and may all my pains succumb there as well. Let their wholesome eyes cover my body in a glow bright and true, let it heal all my illness and complete my tired soul. I am not of this human world yet my body takes this form, but my spirit still is free. Judge me by this and not of these worldly acts. Judge me by my soul and how true I have been. Mistakes I have a plenty. Enough to cover mountains and too many tears that filled up oceans. I am not free from these worldly actions but my spirit is true. My urge to become better to reach higher still lives on. Judge me by this passion and let my passion set me free.
I'm a child in heart I'm sensitive, So don't misuse it I'm God's special child I need to respect My zealous Father I need to honor Him With my young heart, I pray for freedom How awesome are Your deeds? Relieve my heart's ache Help me escape From the darkened pit I can be active And beat that race I'm on God's good side God's mercy Aids me in times of trouble I appreciate His consideration He fulfills me with elation
Down, down to the Earth, hide your shameful face. What is a man without grace? But an Animal insane and base. Fight your inner demons with your mind. Free yourself to fly Up, up to the sky.
JESUS, the birth of miracles; wonder of angels, true hands of the work of mercy, embodiment of divinity, proof of the grace, bread and wine of the lamb. roots of genuine goodness, passion on it's own, by himself. founder of all Christians, can't compare to any prophet of man. He Himself is a true love of act, brought down to lift us up on a pedestal. light of the way; encompasses the sacrifice, truth of the power and might. even when hidden, shines through the darkest darkness.
behold, a man with no resistance to good, perfect being of a blessing as should. born righteous, blessing of being faithful. true knowledge according to the fulfillment, gentle and bold in His revealing. humble to the end: holding no selfish regrets, serving Him to fulfill all His promises, that His work can overcome sin, that we are lifted up throughout his mercy. all should know. he did this out love, helps us move closer to the glory of his throne. erases all questions and doubts; that throughout one mighty act of obedience, there is hope and chance, to bring us back to be a part of the blessing of His reign, take as out of worldly materials. that the person show more wonders, greater than anyone has seen. that through Him we are covered and accepted, enough to fit through the narrow gates and be saved.
Be my hallmark, Be my danger. Be my lover, Be my stranger. Be my hope, Be my failure. Be my today, Be my forever.
As In the Days of Noah… As in the days of Noah, there was wickedness in the land!. So shall it be in the days of the coming of the son of man! There were many forms of ungodliness that were enjoyed! Until the day of the flood... Then it was all destroyed! Imagine building an ark that took one hundred and twenty years! The labor it took! Throughout the blood, sweat and tears! The people laughed, and thought Noah was "out of his mind." But soon, the wrath of God, is what they would find! God gave them a chance to repent, but no one would. So he had Noah and his family made an ark out of wood. Noah warned them all, consequences there would be! And warned them of where they'd be spending eternity! Then, the rains came and poured like never before! The people got scared! They couldn't take anymore! They cried and shouted, "Noah" "please let us in!" "We didn't believe you, when you told us of our sin!" The door on the ark was shut! God's judgment came down! Other than Noah's family, there was no one else around! America's days of wickedness will be coming to an end! Very soon, God's judgment will certainly begin! Will you mock the men of God? Who preach God's word? Or will you live as if, his truth, you never heard? As in the days of Noah, so shall it be at Christ' return! Will you join him in heaven? Or stay on this earth to burn? By Jim Pemberton

These are above all "working dogs" and man do they love to please. The guys I go hunting with about pass out when they see this dog hunt, the people who train GSD's thought it could be done. Most places you stay at make you leave your dogs outside so I will stay at a hotel in the area because my princes sleeps next to me.

I wouldn`t say that. I have to tell her are command "NICE" all the time to remind here to not bite to hard. I tell her this while feeding her by hand and she takes things gently, first she learned the "Off" command. The off command is when she lunges toward a treat she must back away before she gets it.

Beautiful dog!!! And already being versatile and earning her keep! Lucky dog she gets to go hunting.
I keep telling my dogs to go out and catch me a Grouse for supper, but all they want to do is flush them out and chase them. Not quite getting the concept her, not like Gabby.
