This Generation

This Generation

We are the generation called to stand strong.

We have been God's anointed all along.

We are the generation foretold by prophets of old

It's time to take our stand and let our story be told

Don't fret or worry about what you see.

God is in control of what's coming to be.

We are the generation who will stand tall.

Because Jesus is the head of us all.

We are the generation that will witness the greatness of God.

As the walls of this world's ideology crumbles and falls.

We are that generation, the one people only dreamed to see.

The generation of the coming Kingdom to be

So as I look out at leaders of nations and kingdoms on Earth

And see evil laws enacted and their plans come to birth.

I am at peace, knowing it will all come to naught.

I just pray for these people to return to the one whom they've forgot

As our society calls good evil and evil good

And choose who lives and dies and calls it Planned Parenthood

As they destroy our children convincing them God made a mistake

And they mutilate their bodies, changing their fate

It angers us and makes us want to fight back

We have all had enough and feel it's time to attack

Hold your faith, wait on our Prince of Peace to sound the alarm

This generation will witness God's vengeance and be shielded from harm.

But God's vengeance is not the vengeance of man

All of creation is precious, he holds us all in His hand.

And these too in time, though through fiery judgment, he will restore

This generation will stand in awe at this and so much more.

This generation is going to see a great move of God

In every nation and government and every path that they trod.

Praise to God because we are not in this alone

As we witness His move in the earth unlike anything we have known.

This poem was adapted into a song and can be viewed on my YouTube channel here:

Go Ahead

I wrote this poem after Trump was convicted in New York state.

Go Ahead

Go ahead and do what you must

Convict and persecute President Trump.

Go ahead, accuse us on the right.

Call us names and society's blight.

Sadly when you reject us

You reject the God in whom we trust.

And he has the final say despite your plans.

It is he who reigns not any man.

Go ahead say we don't follow science.

As you freak out about our changing climate.

Did you forget who created the amazing earth

It is Yahweh who brought it all to birth.

You are not fighting Trump.

Nor are you fighting any of us.

You are taking on more than you can chew.

Your a fighting a God who you never knew.

So go ahead, give it everything you have.

We will win in the end, that's a fact.

But not because we are in the right side of history

But because our God is fighting and it is His destiny.

We stand by Him and say amen to His plan.

And for our God we wont fail to take a stand.

So go ahead give it your best shot.

In the end your efforts will come to naught.

And despite your lies you say on TV.

We will pray that one day you will see.

And join with us we herald in God's Kingdom.

That you can be saved through Jesus the Son.

The Angels Came Down

I remember the day. I received a text saying "Did you hear? Someone tried to assasinate President Trump."

I am a Trump supporter and have alwats believed God has His protection over him. That doesn't mean I believe He is perfect. Only God is the true answer to life's issues. However He uses us and calls each of us for His purposes.

After watching the news, it seemed clear. God's protection was on this man, which inspired the following.

The Angels Came Down

The angels came down today.

They heard the words of those that prayed.

They stopped the bullets from hitting him.

More than the secret service men.

The deep state tried to impeach this man

Because he boldly took a stand.

They tried to make him guilty of a crime

But the people loved him more every time.

It seemed no matter how hard his enemies tried.

He came out on top and on the people’s side.

He can’t be tamed he can’t be taken out.

This is God's edict there is no doubt.

The time of recompense is now at hand.

The deep state will fall from where they stand.

Those who have lied to us the people

and have persecuted Christians and the feeble.

Their lies will no longer be allowed.

God will soon be bringing low the proud.

As God of heaven and earth, no one can thrwart His plan

Or take His appointed ones out of His hand.

So go ahead scheme and do what you will.

God has the final say and will intervene still.

Your ways are not His ways and never will be.

Until you confess His name on bended knee.

God’s angels came down today,

Because there was a remnant who decided to pray.

A small group who said amen to God’s plan.

Who knew God is the one who reigns in this land.

The Last Word

THE LAST WORD

You don't always have to have the last word.

We think we do because we want to be heard.

But sometimes its best to let go of pride.

And walk away and leave it on the other side.

In a world of polarity and divisiveness

There are some things we need not discuss.

That doesn't mean we should cower in fear.

We can speak the truth in love though they may never hear.

We all have a right too our voice.

Whether we are pro life or pro choice.

But sometimes the arguments never end.

It's okay to leave it there. No need to defend.

We don't always have to argue with those on the other side.

God is the one in the end who will truly decide

In the battle of evil and good.

We can leave it there even if we are misunderstood.

We dont always have to have the last Word

We can leave it there, leave the pot unstirred

We have said our peace let God take it from here.

He will have the last word in the end, making it all so clear.

The Onion

This is another poem I put on YouTube a few years ago. A lot of people really enjoyed the analogy of our lives to an onion.

Walking on Water

A few years ago I made some videos from my poetry on YouTube with pictures and music. This is one of those poems just click on the link to watch the video.

Jesus is In the Stern

JESUS IS IN THE STERN

When the storms close in around you, remember Jesus is in the stern.

When the bills pile up with no way out remember Jesus is where you turn.

Jesus is in the stern sleeping because He alone knows

The storm is never as bad as we suppose.

As we cry out in fear screaming Gods name;

He simply says where is your faith, your fear is in vain.

Did you not know I hold the world in my hand?

And we fall on our face in shame as we begin to understand.

When panic unfolds in your heart

Remember Jesus resides in your innermost part.

He is right there sleeping in the stern of your soul

And He will awake and calm the storm,

making you whole.

Jesus is in the stern and He knows what lies ahead.

But he seems able to sleep and has no dread

So rest assured he will awake at the right time saying peace be still

And we will stand amazed at His word as we live in His will.

As they sailed, he fell asleep. A squall came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger.

The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Master, Master, we’re going to drown!”

Luke 8:23-24
