Eagle, not a chicken.

Identity

 

some find it in new clothes, or maybe a phone.

some find it in their boyfriends and wind up feeling alone.

Some find it in other human beings,

but as for me, I find it in none of these things.

I Peter 2 talks about a 'Peculiar People'

yet with the world we try to be equal, still trying to sit under the steeple.

He has called me out of darkness into His marvelous light,

like an Eagle with a broken wing being able to take flight.

In Exodus 19 it calls me a Peculiar Treasure of Gods,

not just some paper towels balled up into wads.

I am His, and He is mine.

even though I'm just the branch and He is the Vine.

I rest in His love for me and that I am a prized possession,

knowing this my service for you is my consecration.

why wait?

This false sense of pride that we build up,

has the potential to break us down and corrupt.

the world says, 'hey man shoot for the hall of fame'

and Jesus says 'just rep my name'

so many times this faith that we build is more like self-confidence,

not relying on God and his stellar promises.

Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall,

don't you know that's why the Son of God came? it was for us all.

to remain pure, well it's easier said than done.

but it's so so worth it to save yourself for one.

we wear rings of promise like a self vow,

while others live in the moment and for the things of now.

the chances are always available, there's always a door,

but after nineteen years,  I can wait a little more.

why He came.

The world sees Christ as a figment of the imagination,

something replaceable like toast or gas at a station.

Christ came to this earth to live perfection and be Holy,

yet we can't go a day without treating others coldly.

young men sacrificing true love for something on a screen,

acting like it's something worth having, turning around to blame it on their gene.

my man Jeff says this,

 

You see this was me too, but no one seemed to be on to me

Acting like a church kid, while addicted to pornography

See on Sunday I'd go to church, but Saturday getting faded

Acting if I was simply created just to have sex and get wasted.

 

 

The way God changed him is undeniable,

just like all the miracles in the Bible.

Jesus Christ didn't come to be commercialized and made into a holiday,

He came to save lives and even die on a cross one day.

Raises from the grave three days later in triumphant victory,

hearing all these things I know he truly Loves ME.

you see Christmas wasn't about gifts and trees,

it was about all mankind getting on their knees.

When I'm hurt.

Walkin round, beatin down on all the people around,

thinkin you're so great and you're so fly,

you drown others in your arrogance and pride.

it goes before destruction, but destruction of what?

the destruction could be of the soul or the body or of the mind,

startin with you and reaching all mankind.

Get rid of that music, that drug or that computer.

tell the devil he's beat and he's bout to learn from the great Tutor.

speakin of the devil, quite an adversary he is,

lurchin in the shadows tellin us it's just a little kiss,

he's not dumb, he attacks you when you're hurt,

like a pride of lions lookin for the one whose energy's burnt.

young men Rise Up and show the world the truth,

that God still loves them and there's room for you,

no matter what the sin, come to God and repent,

and when you do, trust me, it will all make sense.

What if I told you . . .

What if I said I was forgiven.

would others understand? or think I was outlandishly living.

what if I told you I was certain of my eternal salvation,

but this world is full of hate, lust, drugs and fornication.

God loves everyone, yes, that's true,

in fact He sent his only son to die for me and you.

When people accuse God, and say 'why wasn't he there!'

it could be the fact that He isn't allowed to be here.

God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth He any man,

so how can we blame God? it's our own souls in the frying pan.

Jesus called the Pharisees hypocrites and full of evil ways,

looking at them I know my soul is so white it's burnin from all these Son Rays.

Checking myself I wonder, can I attain it?

Jesus says, quit complaining and do it.

I look to God for wisdom and pray for hours

He looks to me and says here, take some power.

I love my Lord, for what am I,

a filthy criminal, on my way to die.

Something to be Shared.

 

When we are walking down the street, what do we see?

is it someone in trouble? someone in need?

we carry this message of hope and love,

but we say 'no they'll be okay' and fly away like a dove.

we have this truth, and what a privilege it is,

to  walk around knowing that no matter what, we are His.

In John 1:9 it says if we confess,

all this means is repent and turn from our ways, but I digress.

our sin,

these  wrong things we know deep down within,

He is faithful and just,

more than something on earth that will just up and rust.

and my favorite part of all, to forgive us,

this is something only Jesus could do, only from someone Just.

and to cleans us from all unrighteousness,

whether it's murder, lust, pride or even covetousness.

See this Love that we know, that we hold to and grasp,

is something to be shared, in the future and in times past.

The Hard things:

we say 'Yolo', and 'it's because I wanna have fun',

but your life is something serious, not just some outlandish pun.

We sacrifice our lives on our Idols alter, with drugs, sex and alcohol,

mean while Jesus looks down and says, I died for it all.

Lust consumes this nation, and the world as a whole,

Because we've turned from holiness, to dancing women on a pole.

In the Bible it warns us against thoughts of wickedness,

yet we stand around watching smack dab in the midst of it.

Angels rejoice over just one soul coming home,

while we rejoice over a team in a dome.

Christians have a testimony of hypocrisy, and cruelty,

treating ourselves like we are some kind of royalty.

Let's keep that pride down and low in the dust,

and put our treasures in things that neither moth nor rust doth corrupt.

the first post!

Here is the first of what ever God is giving me lately. sometimes people say that the only service for God is full time preaching, I dissagree. I serve God when he tells me to. so here's what He gave me today.

My First, and my last.

 

He went to the cross and bore all my shame,

while I'm standing there idol,

He took all the blame,

when I was the one deemed dead and lifeless within,

Jesus looked to the father and said Go ahead, let him in.

pain and weakness are my strength and in Him will I trust,

so that my pride and possessions don't cause this Christian to rust.

some said I had broken all the rules, and I said, maybe just a bend,

But the Bible says greater love hath no man, then he lay down his life, for a friend.

so why does he love me? with this mistake and this failure,

did you forget my friend, that he wants to be your savior?

because if the wages of sin is death, then I'm a goner,

see but now I get to bring him glory and honor.

Jesus saved me forever, in him I'm made new,

homie you can be the same with no sin inside of you.
