Hey @ENKELI , IM just getting on forum now and started here, u have a few mentions to catch up on i have just seen a few from you here i want quickly respond to then get back up to speed.
yes thats the passage not sure who it was i think it was one of the disciples maybe paul?
i could be way off iis a piece of scripture i relate to a lot.
i agree with you that heartathome,avant-garde & downmorethanup are all great writers who have 3 unique styles of poetry between them, all powerful.
Yeah the likes of hillsong are just modern day billy graemes, think thats the guys name but they do great with numbers if only they were interested in giving the message of salvation as they were in taking tithe.
the head preacher of hillsong stood up once and said he had a message from god and god wants ghim to have a private jet so please dig deep and got a private jet,
personally i think its clear if head of church has the biggest house in the richest area with the most expensive luxury car is not someone has the key to Gods Kingdom.
it saddens me to learn your fathers in palliative care and if im on late at any time and need to vent or chat about anything at all please dont entertain any thoughts of it putting me out at all.
i jactually got a daily bread app on my phone today also and want to see prayer return to my mornings as routine just that alone changes everything perspectively, i hope you had a good experience with the Gods word today
hope head stays easy on you , headaches arent something i get often but when i do they stop me in my tracks so i empathise

@Appleblossom Thanks. i love sharing God's love with as many people i can. God's truth is always the motive of my poem. i also love @avant-garde 's poems a lot. So real life! How it is really felt and experienced in a suffering heart. Poems like that hit the spot. Especially where people have also hurt or found truth in the lives in like manner.
@ENKELI i also found that God often did not answer me in the past. i have raged many a rage at god in my psychoses. However very much later i realised that it was usually because i myself was stuck with religious lies about myself or/and True God, and always about how i misunderstood my situation.
While God not answering me had nothing to do with me not being good enough for God to talk to, as i so often believed, (thinking myself a vessel of dishonour to be,) but with me heeding lies, and not heed Him speaking truth. (To turn around (spiritually,) like John had to do to do to hear Jesus speak to him in Revelation 1:10-12, i also found to be the right answer when God does not seem to speak when we call out to Him.)
@tyme @Shaz51 @Moose123 @REDLINEZ750
i found an awesome song about this very issue, which has become one of my favourite songs, called 'Heal Me' Which also was my 'unanswered prayer' for so many years, but God but to Rest in me, giving me perspective of Himself down deep, a perspective that i had never know existed or was even possible. (The Crucified God to meet in His deepest love and compassion on those fallen deep, and the awesome promise He has for all those who overcome bad life in and with Him. (Revelation 3:20-23.)
Where His Good life overcoming bad life and has me rule down there His Throne. This has been my goal ever since. To get my whole depressed life/personality into His truth 24/7. Though i'm still often striving to Enter in parts of myself, it has been awesome to see God answering my prayers now. i call and He answers, for i have stopped bothering Him with my want and demands, and delight in His will for me seeing Jesus transform me every day a little more into His image. (Colossians 1:10-23)
i'll share the song i love so much. The truth the author found to be true, and me as well, he explains before the music starts.
Enjoy

@REDLINEZ750 if you like reading, the book And the Shofar Blew by Francine Rivers is really good. It is the story of a small town pastor living in the shadow of his famous pastor father who runs a megachurch.
The fact that Brian Houston from HillSong knew his father was a paedophile and kept it quiet is just disgusting. And Carl Lentz, who pastored the NYC HillSong (he was buddies with Justin Bieber) was up there with Brian when it came to spending church funds.
The megachurches also tend to dilute scripture, preferring to cater to a softer type of sermon so that they get people in to pay their bills.
My sister was involved with HillSong and she had a bad experience with them as well.
You might be thinking of Jim and Tammy Bakker, Jim was convicted of several crimes including assault and misappropriating church funds.
Billy Graham was a decent guy, unlike the HillSong pastors!

hey i hope this is not unwellcome comment @avant-garde @ENKELI but if repeating something back to a person thats of thier own mouth causes them to feel bad or uncomfortable i say that is a pretty clear indicator its something they should not of said in the first place and putting a whole bottle of wine into a dish that people are gping to eat without knowing its in there is careless on so many levels, allergies just one of the potential ways it could harm people.
im sorry only a little compassion and it would of been a convversation where you would of not felt upset afterwards.

@REDLINEZ750 hey, no comments are ever unwelcome when said with respect.
I like what you said about a comment said back to a person and agree with you.
I tend to take a softly softly approach these days simply because when I speak my mind I get shut down, even verbally abused.

@ENKELI that irritates me for same people probably not even squeak unless they feel dominant.
i have found a silent eyeballing with an expression of clearly looking at an idiot is best way to deal with people like that .
end of the day i don't bother talking to people in general they talk out there blow holes most part

Oh Come, Glorious Judgement!
Judgement Day begins when you meet up with Jesus,
He will search out your dwelling place completely,
His Words dividing you the sheep from those goats!
He will address your inner lovelessness with His love,
and chase the clinging coldness in your heart away,
from death and decay setting your soul completely free!
Truly Judgement Day, is a day of living ecstatic joy,
new life for all those in you hurting or killed by lies
Only His Loving Truth ruling your inner reality now.
Bad religion shall no longer cause you any bother,
As His loving joy growing in you finds deeper root,
lush growth in newness of life replacing deadness!
Yet Judgement Day will be the end of all your fears,
As no terror can ever travel on The Way to Heaven.
All divided you in complete union, praising the Lamb!
Your big I, gets new function at the rear of existence
while loving Jesus ruling as king is put in first place!
You loving our Heavenly Father with all your heart.
In all your life's deeds The Son of God you'll meet,
Answerable for all you have brought into existence,
In good and bad His loving truth visiting you within!
Judgement Day is about being rightly placed by God,
all good and loving dwelling within upfront - to B(b)e.
bad life shaping us the shadows of night - passing away!

Hi everyone. I wrote this in 1994. I hope you all have a good day!
GRATITUDE TO GOD
In sorry and pain, love and joy
Through Christ we've grown, me and my boy
The conflict within, I have no more
Though challenges exist at every door
God's guiding hand shows the way
Through every step of each new day
I cling to the hope of glory ahead
Wonderfully alive and spiritually fed
Pain does not elude me, nor sorrow not exist
God's love supports me as I walk through this
His goodness and kindness I have felt like no other
His love, mercy and grace always reaching to cover
I stumble and fall like a newborn foal
New freedom, an indescribable joy to my soul
My maker, my husband, my counsellor and king
All praise, honour and glory - To You I sing
I love You with a love I've never before known
The love you gave me from the seed you've sown
I look back and see what you've done
Possible for You, Your Spirt and Son
No other is like You, no words express my love
All I have and all I am, I give back to you above

@heartathome Absolutely love that poem. It is a real prayer poem. Your heart completely bared before our God. His vessel of love and joy. Wonderful word smithing!👍
@ENKELI @REDLINEZ750 @Appleblossom @avant-garde @Moose123 @tyme
i'll share you one of my favourites. A poem i have been scorned, attacked and smeared about as being a woke freak. However for me it is my hearts desire. To be loved by Jesus and give our Heavenly Father a child of His own, growing in me because of His love for me, truly His Offspring to birth through me!
Song of Solomon 1:4 Take me away with you—let us hurry!
Let the king bring me into his chambers.
Love In The Making.
My love removes all in me without desire or need,
To bare to the passions embracing His Godly Love,
Pure ecstasy as His Love releases The Holy Seed,
Love making conceives Heavenly bliss from above.
My love carrying what His Good Loving has Sown,
Eagerly awaiting the time Love's delivery to come.
To give our Heavenly Dad a Child All of His Own.
Hear the Angels adore Him who gave us The Son.
