Slacking the Soul

Slacking the Soul

Slacking the soul, cleansing within,

Washed with the blood of

Jesus,

Which takes away my sin.

Others will not let me forget

Life, lived in regret.

Who rules? God or man?

God says, you have been forgiven

By My touch from Heaven.

Look not again for man"s approval.

Man, too, stands before Almighty God.

Man cannot judge you within.

No ma n knows what passes between

God and you.

I know God's Son was sent to

cledanse my life, purified for eternity.

The day I acknowledge this truth,

The day I started living life to its fullest.

Keep your eyes on the groom, you have

been selected as His bride,

How can man your sin chide?

You have been made clean,

God is our Hope.

The Journey~~~~~ Walk the Talk!

We look at the past with regret and wonder if we will ever forget. God says, don't. My blood is enough. Trust the power in my blood shedd on the Cross. It is Heaven's blood which was poured out on earthly men, to bring peace in themselves and between them and God.

He says He will give us peace that passes all understanding and will guard our hearts. We must continue to praise His name, the promise is it.

Seed of Promise

Seed of Promise

What a miraculous plan,

To bring salvation to man!

Thousands of years God

devised,

To regain fallen lives.

Satan tried time and again to destroy

The Seed of promise.

In God's love, the Seed was preserved

until the perfect moment, and Satan

thought he had won.

The Seed of Promise hung on earth's rugged tree

Satan gloated to think "I win!"

What a miraculous plan,

To bring salvation to man!

Jesus died,

Satan lost,

The plan finished,

Satan defeated.

In infinite knowledge, God is working

His plan.

Your every breath, your every step,

your very life a part of God's

infinite grace.

If you would that your life have some influence on earth,

Let Heaven come down and

crown you, vessel of clay, and let God

weave into you the excellence of His plan.

What a miraculous plan,

To bring Salvation to  man!



Th Journey~~~Walk the Talk!

What a miraculous plan! Do we realize God is working His plan on our behalf. Everything He does, He is bringing heaven into our hearts. Salvation is no more than God bringing commune and fellowship to us.

Jesus, savior, is the link between us. Hanging the Seed of promise on the tree, might have looked like it was all over, it was just beginning, LIFE for man, all part of God miraculous plan.

Patience

Life Unspoken

Be patient my little heart, who yearns to

tell of God's grace and His perfect will.

As I seek Him , day by day, my thoughts and wants I

gently lay.

My life will not go unspoken.

The Journey~~~Walk the Talk! Even in the quietness of the forest, life is happening. "Let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. Do we believe that? While we wait by faith. we are not aware that we are changing from glory to glory. So many times we think we've got to do some thing, but it is in the waiting that does it for us. Of course, waiting for the sake of waiting won't do it, it is waiting for God to do what He says He is going to do. Then our faith increases when we see His salvation, His answer and His deliverance.

Waiting

Waiting for the early and later rains

Waiting

Wait for the Lord to return,

Wait for the early and later rains.

We wait,

impatient,

enduring, sometimes expectant,

sometimes bewildered,

asking "Why? What do I need to do?"

The "Waiting" most time is more edifying

than the promises.

Waiting

teaches us God's love.

His care,

His heart.

We pass the colors of the rainbow

seeking the pot of gold.

As we rush through life searching

for that pot of gold, we miss

the beauty of life,

the beauty of knowing

the God of the universe,

the God of our hearts,

We run

looking for our ministry!

We want to be effective,

not realizing the effectiveness is in the

Waiting. the way God wants,

waiting for His will to be known,

dying to ourselves.

Let us stand still and see the Salvation of God!

The Journey~~~~Walking the Talk!  We do not realize all of creation is waiting for the sons of God to be revealed. Creation cries for God's revelation in us. We just want to hurry up our present condition. But all the waiting is designed to learn about God, see the faithfulness of God, revealed Himself in us and also that we learn patience so that we lack nothing. The more of Jesus in us, the less we lack.

So Little of Jesus



In the Dark 16 X20 Watercolor





In the Light 16X20 - Watercolor



So Little of Jesus

So little of Jesus my heart cries, so little

of life's best myself denied.

How can I receive all that is for me?

Look to Jesus, and let go of all the rest.

If I let go, I'll have nothing.

Jesus is your reason.

Jesus is your purpose.

My mind rejects this thought.

I look out there and see what the world has to give.

The world has nothing to give except it has already been given to me.

If I let go, will I have nothing?

Oh, why do I lose sight of the origin of life so easily?

The world shouts and screams, loud and brash.

I move toward the noise.

Curious to see, maybe there's something for me.

"Me" is important.

I talk about myself

I am so interested

That's why I lose sight of the origin of life so easily.

I am wrapped up in "Me."

Can I let go of myself?

Yes! Let go and let God take hold,

His hands are much more sue, after all He made me.

Would He drop me without care?

No! I am original, none like me.

When I let go, I'll have everything,

Jesus, Savior, Lord, King!

The Journey~~~~~Walk the Talk! This poetry is an argrument between my flesh and spirit. My spirit is telling me to let go of Me. My flesh is sounding back, "If I let go, I'll have nothing.

All the time the Spirit of the living God has ME in his mind and all that He has done for me. I must let go of Me, in order to gain ME! "You must lose your life in order to gain it." Jesus says

The Treasure Within

The Treasure Within (11X14 Watercolor)


The Treasure Within
Heavenly language comes in many forms,
a smile, a rainbow, an untaught fisherman.
Excellence in a clay vessel,
The treasure within,

Sing Heaven's hymn,
Jesus written in your heart
Look to the One
Why made you,
He created you for this song,
His Plan!



The Journey~~~~Walk the Talk! He has created each of us for this song, His Plan. Do I see His Song as  His plan for me?  I should. Everything in heaven is in harmony, in rhythm, never in discourse. We pray that His will in heaven be His will in this earth. We are asking for harmony, love, wisdom, all that God is to be brought to earth. All of who God is has been placed in our bosom, to witness who He is.

Some times i look at empty pots, especially as an artist. When I finally see, all the time, He was working His plan, His Spirit, in and through me, in all that I create as it comes through my hands and heart.

The Promise of My Father

The Promise of My Father

The Promise of my Father

Tarry in Jerusalem until you are endued

with power from on high.

The Holy Spirit has empowered us to  live life anew.

Teacher,

Comforter,

Friend,

We hold the Godhead within.

God says,

Trust Me to see that it is true.

I have made you meek to inherit this

might Spirit.

Submit yourself to the knowledge that

Great miracles are within your realm.

Jesus gave this power to you through His sacrificial death

Reach out for Jesus, and receive everlasting strength.

The Journey~~~~ Walk the Talk! I am wondering today, how many people still believe they have to be at church or the upper room, or in their praying chair in  order to understand the presence of the Spirit around them and through them?  It took a long time to understand how the spirit teaches us, comfort us and is loyal to us. I was looking for bells and whistles, but today I have that knowing, He is there. The Promise of the Father is here. Praise Him.
