Poem: Daily Intercession
What an amazing sight, it must be!
Seeing Christ seated on His throne,
as He offers a continual covering on behalf
of those that He considers His own.
Many have often wondered ‘why’,
as observed in the following question:
If Christ’s mission on Earth was fulfilled,
then ‘Why does He make for us daily intercession? ’
Beside Jehovah, robed in holy righteousness,
Christ, our personal defender, pleads our case;
for Jesus is uniquely qualified; He provides the grace
that allows us to humbly come before God’s face.
These selfless actions of The Advocate
are simply part of His redemptive plan;
against the backdropp of the glassy sea,
He ‘stands in the gap’ as the lawyer of man.
Freely, we can go before Jehovah -
with the burdens of our broken hearts;
sacred utterances from the depths of our soul
comes from revelation knowledge He’s imparted.
Christ experienced the sting of Death
and felt the pain of Godly separation.
Can the impetus of His having been forsaken,
truly serve as His underlying motivation?

Poem: Divine Possibilities
Although Jehovah can never be contained,
with me, a portion of His presence can remain…
since I've placed an altar to Him in my heart.
Having desired an ongoing holy communion,
I've embraced my Lord in a spiritual union,
knowing my life is one… of His works of art.
While blurring church divisional boundaries,
I choose to focus on God's heavenly guarantees
and enjoy the abundance of His provision.
From recalling "greater is Him who is in me",
I can't help but see "divine possibilities",
when daring to imagine a life of Godly vision.
So now, I bravely go forth with boldness,
as a temple covered by Christ's righteousness,
leading spiritual seekers… from their wilderness.

Poem: Called To Worship
Remember the Lord, your God;
He can turn your mourning into dancing.
Refrain from being silent!
Honor Him with continual praising.
Renew your life, mind and conscience,
by spiritually touching God’s realm;
conquer all of life’s obstacles
and prevent your soul from being overwhelmed.
Stand firm – you are redeemed!
Your obligation is to never forget,
that you’ve inherited a sacred mission;
go now forth as Jehovah’s prophet.
You possess the keys to Life’s secrets;
it’s buried within the written Script.
Overflow with joyous expectation, know…
That you’re called to worship!

Poem: Silent Tears (II)
Have you envisioned
our Lord upon The Cross?
Have you seen
those considered lost?
Did you notice
the absence of Grace?
Did you observe
tears staining His face?
Can you imagine
the agony of His pain?
Have you accepted the Gift
of the Lamb that was slain?
On that day of crucifixion
Love was brokenhearted
and divine reconciliation
was quietly started.
Christ mourned the souls
who chose the path of rejection
and was sadden by their ignorance
of His personally offered Salvation.
Days before Resurrection Sunday
the silent tears of Christ fell,
having glimpsed the future in which…
numerous souls were separated by hell.

Poem: Sacrosanct Truth
With His incarnation, passion, death and resurrection,
Christ paid the ransom for the sins of humanity!
Our full acceptance of this sacrosanct Truth,
gives us the opportunity to be permanently set free…
from the impending separation, brought by Death.
The date of Christ's next coming may not be known;
so today is still the acceptable time for Salvation,
to become sons and daughters… before His throne.
The earthly powers of Satan will be vanquished;
know that his future demise has already been foretold.
He arrogantly chose to reject his musical authority
and remain strolling upon the Kingdom's streets of gold.
Now we're to stand, take back and occupy the land;
for we're to regain the authority that was given Adam.
We're also to recognize and honor the sacrificial Lamb
Jesus Christ, the holy, begotten son of the Great I Am.
The true saint lives not for today, but for tomorrow,
purposing to usher in the Kingdom with singleness of mind.
As righteous keepers of humanity's brothers, we need…
to steer everyone towards the sacred One called Divine.

Poem: Way of The Cross
Tis important to remember,
the holy Standard that was set for us!
Its purchase was selflessly made
by our beloved Christ Jesus.
Upon Calvary, this single sacrifice
of Jehovah’s perfect, atoning Lamb
completely demonstrates the truest form of Love
from our God, the Great I Am.
Lord, we may not entirely comprehend,
how Your ways are superior to our own,
but we need to realize that we’re called
to reach towards Your Kingdom throne.
From the cruel spilling of Your Son’s royal blood,
the ransom for Humanity was fully paid;
and the foundation of Heaven’s eternity
has been utterly sealed and forever laid.

Poem: God Within
Though Life can be extremely difficult
and experiences can deeply traumatize us,
we can learn to control how we respond -
as demonstrated by our Lord, Christ Jesus.
For He alone is the hope of our glory;
when we show genuine, jubilant enthusiasm,
we naturally exhibit that “God is within”;
thus, we’re able… to bridge sin’s chasm.
This separation from God can be overcome
with daily prayer and faith’s resilience.
Become intimate with your “Identity in Christ”
and continue to reflect the Kingdom’s brilliance.
Having energetic and vibrant attitudes,
we see more opportunities brought to our door.
Via God’s Love and abundance principles,
His blessings upon us… continue to pour.
Remember! We’re blessed to be a blessing;
prayerfully develop your mission’s vision.
Search for personal solutions within The Word,
while reducing the likelihood of… bad decisions.

Enthusiasm is defined from a combination of Greek words: “Theos” means God, while the other two words are “En-Tae”, which implies within. So enthusiasm actually means the “God Within.” It is the shining source of goodness and respect for one’s self and others.

tribulations are faced by God's daughters and sons,
but only through Christ - can one be justified.
The troubles of the day will eventually find us;
but will you be prepared by the principles of Love?
Remember the divine words of the Lord Christ Jesus

The rain falls on both the Just and Unjust;
so you might as well expect to get wet;
develop an atmosphere of faith and in Him trust;
live your life transparently without regrets.
So open your spiritual eyes and plan ahead;
develop a Godly relationship that's versatile,
knowing your faith will be surely tested
with the experiences of… God ordained trials.

Poem: No Separation with Salvation
Nothing… that occurs within our daily lives,
despite the endless flow of pain and sorrow,
will separate us from the eternal love of God,
regardless of events - be it today or tomorrow.
For the solitary accomplishment of Christ
has bridged the chasm of sin's spiritual gap;
therefore, to Him we all must willing turn.
He alone is the True Vine, in which we must tap.
Apart from our Lord and His sacred principles,
our odds of living a successful life may not endure;
learn to accept and recognize that He solely is…
the Great Physician and our Divine Cure.
Our appointed time to die waits for us,
since the wages of sin will always be death;
receive the everlasting gift of Salvation,
knowing that we came to life… from God's breath.

Enabling Success
God’s heavenly desires and ways
are much higher than our own.
Spiritual maturity is required
to reach towards His holy throne.
Hidden within the Scriptures
is a common, universal theme –
Application of Biblical principles
is needed to achieve our earthly dreams.
Under guidance of the Spirit,
prophets captured God’s intended plan;
laid out to see was Yahweh’s vision –
for the true success of Man.
The written Word of God
can be our scriptural soap;
regular cleansing of the mind
reveals the promise of our hope.
This collection of ‘love letters’
is connected by a ‘scarlet thread’;
Christ’s fulfillment of the Law was sealed
by the redemptive blood that He shed.

Poem: Moral Fiascos
Real Truth is still being sought out,
in this ever growing Age of Information;
the rise of social media has added
to the noise against spiritual institutions.
Unfortunately, ungodly behaviors continue to play out
within our society, neighborhoods and church pulpits.
We Christians must wholeheartedly repent now,
before His divine Grace, we unwittingly forfeit.
Sacred texts attest to God's existence by faith,
while Science can only prove Him via logical sight.
Genuine and unstoppable power comes from His Word
and never by the temporary strength of human might.
Personal accountability and responsibility
can be displayed via righteous servitude;
develop your unique identity in Christ
with the character of ethical fortitude.
Consumption of the Scriptures should not be ignored
in favor of viewing biblically, inspired frescos.
Be girded on the foundation of Jehovah's principles
and put an end to the ongoing… moral fiascos.

Poem: Secrets Will Be Revealed
Become a spiritual light upon a hill, with faith
that does not flicker or become extinguished.
Let your life shine, thereby allowing the God-colors
within your life to draw others to Christ.
There is no hiding from Jehovah; why even try?
The Lord is not a man, that He should lie!
Learn to naturally avoid all forms of evil
and shun potential occurrences of spiritual upheaval.
Light always pierces and scatters the darkness.
Light some candles; cursing the shadows
accomplishes nothing meaningful or useful.
Cast off any works or semblances of darkness.
There is no hiding from Jehovah; why even try?
The Lord is not a man, that He should lie!
For His holy wisdom provides solutions with clarity;
embrace Him and His principles and finally see…
Darkness is more than obscurity; it shows lack;
it demonstrates the absence of Truth and Light.
Hidden things will ultimately be revealed,
before our righteous Lord and His Kingdom.

Poem: Sufficient for the Day
Sufficient for the day is the Lord's grace,
although the day has troubles of its own;
remain standing on the foundation of faith,
for the secret… is going before God's throne.
Daily measures of mercies and love are available,
since Christ our advocate is making intercessions
that lift us up - for when we eventually fall down,
as the result of our sinful transgressions.
Sufficient for the day is the Lord's joy,
although the day has troubles of its own;
God's love for us has been made evident,
seeing the Son's Salvation has been made known.
With a new day, stillness may certainly come;
unite your voice with eternity's songs.
Become comfortable now for giving God praise,
in preparation of joining the heavenly throng.
Sufficient for the day is the Lord's strength,
although the day has troubles of its own;
so lift us up after we fall again, as we realize…
that Your grace and peace has been already sown.

Earthly troubles will never cease -
Use faith to quell the inner longing.
Regardless of your circumstance,

Rejoice in the midst of difficulties;

Things can not fill the hole of one’s heart.
Cleanse your mind with His Word;

wholeheartedly seek the face of the Lord.
Find for yourself, true contentment.

As a Child of God, you're blessed with favor,

Don't be ‘eaten up' with unending discontent;

Despite your painful past, your joy can be restored
when you humbly seek… the face of our blessed Lord.

realize that His grace was already given in advance.
Allow Him to be your guide and inspiration;
be sure and be counted within His holy nation.
Love the Lord boldly without any restraints,
for His glory and purpose have no constraint.
So open your mouth and choose to loudly sing;
allow your praises for Christ to freely ring.
Faith is not an experience that can be skipped;
know that you are still… called to worship!

Poem: Called to Worship (IV)
Do you know what you're doing?
Search your heart's motivation.
What is it, that keeps you going?
Are there… corresponding actions?
Refrain from frenetic, frantic busyness,
for now is the time for quiet waiting;
stop the phony acts of supposed holiness;
discontinue the false, religious debating.
Endeavors taken are still your choice.
Can your actions stand before God's pop quiz?
Are you listening solely to His voice?
Is the plan you're executing… yours or His?
The underlying impetus will be revealed
according to God's perfect timing.
Is it The Word of God you wield?
Has your life been given to His consigning?
Elements of faith are meant to build character,
and are not for the purpose of vain "head trips";
spiritual accountability is still required;
always remember that we're… called to worship!
