WOMAN OF GRACE

9 Sep

 woman in prayer

“Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.”  Proverbs 31:30 KJV

—-

Born of sacrifice,

Birthed in grace,

Bone of man’s bone,

Blood of man’s blood.

—-

Chosen to serve,

Cleaving to the covenant,

The promise of Adam,

The promise of Abraham.

—-

Grace to bring forth,

The children of promise,

Destined to call,

Destined to serve.

—-

Grace to pray truth,

Into the nation,

Grace to endure,

Intercession by day,

Intercession by night.

—-

Unwaivering love,

Unmerited favor,

To see past the pain,

Of sin’s temporal hand,

To the promise of life,

This side of the cross.

—-

Faith in the truth,

Abounding with love,

To believe in the birth,

To believe in the death,

Of life and of Sin,

Of spirit, of soul.

—-

Grace to bloom forth,

As the rose in the desert,

With fragrance and velvet,

From the thorns,

Rigid arms.

—-

Rising to God,

In manifest witness,

Of grace and of mercy,

In truth from above.

DEVIL’S TONGUES

2 Sep

Gang Graffiti

 

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities,

against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this

world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Ephesians 6:12 KJV

 

What is that written, spray painted on,

Done in the dark, between twilight and dawn.

Devil’s tongues.

—-

Set there before us, to boast, instill fear,

A warning to all, not to come near.

Devil’s tongues.

—-

Driven by Satan, sent on a quest,

Marking the town, choosing the best.

With Devil’s tongues.

—-

Taking it back, that’s why we pray,

Wickedness in high places,

Step out of the way.

—-

Soap, paint and sanding never will stand,

Only sanctification through the Blood of the Lamb.

—————————————

A change in gang activity

can only be made

through prayer.

THE ROSE

2 Sep

                         Jesus in the Clouds

 “I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys”.  Song of Solomon2:1 KJV

In the valley of life,

Where Israel and Egypt,

Dwell together,

You walked.

—-

You searched,

This way and that,

For the Pure of Heart,

To call Your own.

—-

In the garden,

Tended by Israel,

Grew a rose.

It grew upward,

Spreading its leaves and petals,

To the light and the warmth,

Of  You.

—-

It grew past the thorns,

Through the winds,

During times of drought,

During the flood.

—-

It grew ever up,

Seeking fellowship with You,

Fully opened,

Exposing the tender inner parts,

Deep within.

—-

As You knelt down,

To savor the beautiful blossom,

You blew gently against it,

Sending the sweet fragrance,

Toward the emptiness of Egypt.

—-

Some caught the fragrance,

In their hearts,

And came to share in the joy,

Of the rose,

Joining Israel in victorious praise.

—-

Others were left, only briefly,

As Israel tends the garden of life,

Watering and feeding,

Pruning and grafting,

Preparing once more,

For the opening of a rose.
