Why I write #poetry for #God #video
Trust only in God
Trust only in God,
not your own understanding,
for you are made of flesh,
and God is eternal…
Look to God for wisdom,
not to your own discernment,
cleave to the Word of God,
for it is a gift from heaven…

We must defeat the power of secret sin – v2
We must come before the Father,
before our sisters and brothers,
in prayer and supplication, authentic,
We must come as broken vessels,
of clay, of sin, of dust…
We must stand convicted, humble,
we must repent of our sin,
holding ourselves accountable, open,
We live under the protection of grace,
the blood of Jesus Christ…
We must confess where we have failed,
where we have missed the mark,
where we have chosen the wrong path,
We must defeat the power of secret sin,
of clay, of sin, of dust…

We walk by faith not by sight,
We are saved by grace,

None of us are worthy of grace,

We dwell not under the law,
slaves to sin, to eternal death,
We live under the protection of grace,
the love of our Savior, our Master,
yes, it is by grace that we are saved…

Listen to God’s Word,
to the Spirit speaking within you,
Cleave to the example of Christ,

Always be raw, honest, open,
to be used by Almighty God…

A raw wound open – v2
A raw wound open,
facing our sin, our past,
choices we have made
that we regret…
A raw wound open,
confronting our demons,
the challenges we face,
our broken history…
A raw wound open,
but essential for healing,
bleeding off the dirt,
the infection in the way…
A raw wound open,
cleansed by the water,
by the sacrifice, the blood,
of our risen Lord, Jesus…

As we draw closer to Him,
as we bring our lives
to God in prayer
God has responded,
making a way through
the desert, our storms,

abundance upon abundance,
grace upon infinite grace,
a way through the waters,
God’s sure hand guides us,
we are safe in the storms,
our trials in this life…

We recommit to this prayer, “#NeverAgain!” – v2 #Voronezh
There is a cancer within the body, never dormant,
a tumor growing, spreading, metastasized,
the legitimacy of the world order, the UN,
the illusion of peace, the rule of law a joke…
On a solemn day of remembrance, D-Day,
we recommit to this prayer, “Never Again!”,
we ask forgiveness from the dead, the dying,
the tortured, the ones we have left behind…
Now, in the heart of Europe, again, yet again,
we hear the same cries rise from the dying,
for the West to remember this prayer,
failing in its sacred promise, “Never Again!”…
Voronezh, a name that will be like Auschwitz,
for horrors that are happening in that place…
Humanity failing in its sacred promise
when we promised the dead, “Never Again!”…
Yes, “Never Again!”, we proclaim before others,
but do we mean these words, our inaction speak louder,
because this cruelty, this malice, this terror,
is happening again, as it will surely happen again…

As we draw closer
As we draw closer
God has responded,
Making a way through
The desert, our storms…
God has provided,
A way through the waters,
God’s sure hand guides us,
We are safe in the storms…

Listen to your neighbor,
The Other in need…
Share yourself, truly,
Offer your heart freely,
Listen to one another,
Care in all you do…

You are a light for the world #Ukraine
You are a light for the world,
in this moment of darkness,
A hope that is rising, growing,
as together you stand resolute…
The fight that you fight is our fight,
a hope of a brighter tomorrow,
from the defeat of tyrants and terrorists,
a just peace will surely rise…
You are a light to the world,
in this moment of darkness,
You stand in the gap for all of us,
while evil is on the march…

We must sharpen each other’s iron
We must sharpen each other’s iron,
We must stand in the gap, ready,
Leaning into the challenge,
The threat to each one of us…
We must sharpen
each other’s iron,
We must stand in the gap, ready,
For we know the stakes, the truth,
Of the battle raging against us…
We must sharpen each other’s iron,
We must stand in the gap, ready,
To resist the forces of evil, Satan,
To stride into the Light…

#poetry #God #Christ #Spirit #faith #love #hope #calling #purpose #Proverbs27
We must stand in the gap, ready,
Leaning into the challenge,
The threat to each one of us…
We must stand in the gap, ready,
For we know the stakes, the truth,
Of the battle raging against us…
We must stand in the gap, ready,
To resist the forces of evil, Satan,
To stride into the Light…
June 6, 2024
We must sharpen each other’s iron

Fill your heart with Light
Fill your heart with Light,
dispel the darkness,
Open your heart to love,
of our risen Lord, Jesus…
Stand up to the darkness,
rebuke it boldly, clearly,
Fill your heart with Light,
hold onto it dearly…
Fill your heart with Light,
fill your heart completely,
Allow no room for the darkness,
to return, to creep in…

Move toward the Light
Cast out the darkness, your demons,
The forces seeking to destroy you,
Moving toward the Light,
To God’s love in Christ Jesus…
Move toward the Light,
Every growing closer,
Cleave to Christ’s promise,
To the Spirit dwelling within…
Choose to defy evil,
To cast out the demons,
Speak light into your life,
Through the power of Jesus…

Come before God for wisdom – v2
Come before God for wisdom – v2
Do not rely upon yourself,
For yourself to ponder,
For you to find an answer,
Don’t become twisted,
Turning yourself into knots…
Come before God for wisdom,
Bow down at His feet, pray,
Trust that He will answer,
Listen to the Spirit’s stirring,
His whisper on your walk…
Trust God for wisdom, pray,
In every choice, each decision,
God will lead, He will show you,
Every path that lies before you,
Let Him guide your feet..

We recommit to this prayer, “Never Again!”
On this most solemn day of remembrance,
We recommit to this prayer, “Never Again!”,
We ask forgiveness from the dead,
The tortured, the ones we have left behind…
Now, in the center of Europe, again,
The same cries rise from the dying,
For the West to remember its prayer,
Failing in its sacred promise, “Never Again!”…
Voronezh, a name that will be like Auschwitz,
for horrors that are happening in that place…
Humanity failed in its sacred promise
When we promised the dead, “Never Again!”…
Yes, “Never Again!”, we proclaim before others,
but do we mean it, our inaction speak louder,
because this cruelty, this malice, this terror,
is happening again, as it will surely happen again…

We recommit to this prayer, “Never Again!”,
We ask forgiveness from the dead,
The tortured, the ones we have left behind…
The same cries rise from the dying,
For the West to remember its prayer,
Failing in its sacred promise, “Never Again!”…
for horrors that are happening in that place…
Humanity failed in its sacred promise
When we promised the dead, “Never Again!”…
but do we mean it, our inaction speak louder,
because this cruelty, this malice, this terror,
is happening again, as it will surely happen again…

We recommit to this prayer, “Never Again!”

Quote attributed to Lee Atwater,
“Perception is reality.”
Quote attributed to Gustave Flaubert
“There is no truth. There is only perception.”
Quote attributed to Aldous Huxley,
“There are things known and there are things unknown,
and in between are the doors of perception.”
Quote attributed to George Monbiot
“What you see is not what others see.
We inhabit parallel worlds of perception,
bounded by our interests and experience.
What is obvious to some is invisible to others.”

https://raymondafoss.blogspot.com/2024/06/crying-for-crimea-v2.html
Russia’s war of aggression against started with Crimea
in February and March 2014, with the invasion of the green men,
but Crimea is complicated, because the Russian Black Sea Fleet
has been in Sevastopol since 1783…
