Ask No More

Ask no more

for God to bless

America, the whore

Judgment comes

unless

as a nation we

Repent

on bended knee

Oh, blind folk

who darkness love

who laugh and joke

mocking God above

Who worship and bow

to gods of greed

Overlooking somehow

those in dire need

Entertainment reigns

Anything goes

Confusion sings

The darkness grows

Now we must pray

for the saving of some

that God's hand will stay

'til those lost have come

Repenting

Believing

Obeying

Serving

Loving

Jesus the Son!

amen

Fear Not

     "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."  II Timothy l:7
     This is one of the first verses I learned when I began my walk with Jesus.   Fear can disable me every time.  Not only the big bad world and all the perils of life are frightful but little things are paralyzing, too.   Fear for those I love is a biggie.  Will they be saved?   Will they be delivered from the evil that cripples their lives?   Will they overcome the wickedness, escape deception and even avoid taking the mark?  Sometimes I am chilled by the picture of some of them taking the mark of the Antichrist and being eternally lost.  
    But, I am not  to fear.  What then?  What else but surrender them to Christ, pray the "whatever it takes" prayer and  let go!   I do that sometimes many times in a  week.  Then, suddenly, one of those I have agonized over is gone!   Its past time to pray for their souls and I always fear I didn't pray enough before it was too late.   I confess I fear for all those who don't seem to be interested in the great salvation of Jesus Christ.  I fear for their souls.   I rationalize that a little bit of fear keeps me praying!
     I don't fear for myself because I know I am a blood bought child of God.   Fears of earthly woes for myself can be brushed off like fleas off a dog's hide.  Of course they keep coming back so it pays to be diligent in taking action against them.   Fearing for other's spiritual safety is another matter altogether!  Those fears are like ticks that burrow into the hide, bulging big and fat with stolen life blood. Before long they suck out all the peace and trust in God that I ever had. 
     Father, rid me of all fear.  I give it all to You.  The only fear I want to keep is the fear of You, knowing You are a Holy God, a jealous God, and Your ways are far above our ways!  I want to be secure in the knowledge that You answer my prayers for these dear ones.  I will trust You to draw them to Jesus.   Soften their hearts toward You that they not reject You but embrace You and Your grace, mercy and love.   amen
   

My Grace is Sufficient for Thee

You are mine always and forever

I will not leave you---no never!

Lay all of your heavy burdens on Me

My grace is sufficient for thee

You think you are worthless and vile

that you've failed every test and trial

Open your spiritual eyes---can't you see

My Grace is sufficient for thee

You try so hard to be the very best

And disappoint yourself nevertheless

You are My child---I set you free

My grace is sufficient for thee

Through every crisis and rocky path

You strain so hard, you forget to laugh

You try to pay for what is free

My grace is sufficient for thee

Rest, My child, no need to fuss and fret

Rest in My Son who paid your debt

He paid by dying on the tree

My Grace is sufficient for thee

He is risen and at My right hand here

Interceding for you, He has My ear

You in Him and Him in Me

My grace is sufficient for thee

One week more----

     In a week, August 13th will be the end of my Internet contract.  Due to the expense, we are dropping it.  I'll still be posting on this blog but it will have to be done when I get to the library once a week or so.  I'm hoping to catch up on my sewing, crafts, and reading.  (I make pine needle and gourd baskets, wood burn and paint.)  No, I'm not trying to sell anything
---just posting some pictures of my hobby.       Blessings,  C.S.

To The Shepherds and Dare You?

Ho, you shepherds  who mislead My sheep

Ignoring the bitter and feeding them only sweet

You, who lulled My bride to sleep

Their blood I'll lay at your feet

You gave them pablum with milk skimmed

You let them in greed--My purpose dimmed

You said, "I'm okay and you are, too.

God wants the very best for you."

You didn't tell them to repent

You didn't tell them of the wrath I've sent

 on My people who perverted became

Whoring with Satan and defiling My Name

You need to be the first to repent

You who are sleek, fat and content

Judgment comes first to My household

My Word is clear---you have been told!

Woe unto you---you hirelings paid well

You surely have increased the ranks in hell

I shall have My bride with her lamps filled with oil

In spite of your lazy lack of toil!

DARE YOU?

Dare you My Holy Word twist?

Dare you clench your tiny fist?

Dare you shake it in My face?

Dare you?  Dare you my anger taste?

Oh, wicked and perverse generation

You will surely see damnation

You love the world and not Me

You'd rather play than bend your knee

You play at church and think you're okay

You use My Name but go your own way

Dare you use My church to sell and buy?

Why dare you ignore Me---oh, why?

Dare you wear your filthy rags of self-pride

Into My presence, not trying to hide

Thinking I'm pleased with your rottenness

Calling vilest sin 'a small transgress'

Dare you?  Why, yes you dare

Thinking you are My bride so fair

Where is she, My perfect church, My bride?

I see only you who are dirty inside

I"ll have no church except cleansed of sin

Without spot or wrinkle, clean without and within

Dare you let Me purge you---dare you to self die?

Pick up your cross, follow Me, I will sanctify

My bride, my church, be ye purified

I am waiting to have you at My side

I am calling; can't you hear?  Can't you see?

Dare to deny yourself and come, follow Me!

IT IS SO

There's a party spirit in this great land

Just as in Babylon of Daniel's day

Warning is written by My almighty hand

Judgment is coming, it is on the way

My handwriting on the wall

Says, "America, you're going to fall"

For oil, you have forsaken Israel

Instead of Me, you worship Bael

It is written by My Holy hand

If you bless Israel, blessed be your land

A nation who loves My people shall be

A land of peace and prosperity

But nations who upon Me close the door

Will suddenly become desolate and poor

Prosperity will flee and peace shall be no more

Waves of bitterness shall sweep your shore

My people will I never forsake again

My people will I save from their sin

Whosoever would be called My friend,

Must pray for the peace of Jerusalem

Israel shall see Me who they crucified

Their cries of repentance shall sound

Yea, Israel, too, will become My bride

When their longed for Messiah is found

My bride, My church, hearken unto Me

By suffering and persecution you'll be purified

Remain faithful and true, and you shall see

 My glorious return for My spotless bride

I am coming soon for all My own

My river of life will forever flow

All things made new, all sin atoned

Behold, I have said it and it is so
