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…

Know God and know peace,

leaning not on your own understanding.

Earthly troubles will never cease -

Use faith to quell the inner longing.



Regardless of your circumstance,

you are empowered to be an overcomer.

Rejoice in the midst of difficulties;

in His Presence, find holy favor.



He has promised to supply our needs!

Things can not fill the hole of one’s heart.

Cleanse your mind with His Word;

desire Truth that only Jehovah can…

Just a word, Lord…

is what I desire today.

Often I devote quality time with Thee,

hoping to learn more of your Holy ways.



Just a word, Lord…

keeps me moving forward with You;

embrace me with Your Presence,

in everything that I say and do.



[CHORUS]



Just a word, Lord…

provides me with Everlasting Life.

Being focused on You,

reduces the noise of earthly strife.



Just a word, Lord…

completely captures my heart.

My…

Lord, create in me a clean heart

and teach me how to pray.

Sow your righteousness into me;

keep my soul from going astray.



Allow me to tap into Your spiritual strength.

Open my ears – to the words, You now say!

Quench this inner longing of human desire;

help me to obey Your commands without delay.



Humbled by Your awesome Presence

and reminded of my frail vulnerability,

I bring myself before You for correction.

Discipline this child with…

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…

Above us is the Celestial Lodestone,

the universal point of spiritual reference.

As a stalwart of magnetic attraction,

He constantly draws men unto Himself.

Dynamic in nature and unchanging in purpose,

His principles are adaptable for all situations.

The foundation of His Word is solid;

His Truth is filled with plenty of promise.

Raise your eyes! Look up!

He is…

Under the duress of the sacrificial Cross

and positioned between two thieves,

the culmination of grace for the World

was granted - via Jehovah’s heavenly reprieve.



Surrounded by the stench of death,

Christ uttered famous words of forgiveness;

enduring human suffocation with each dying breath,

His Light steadfastly opposed foreboding darkness.



His heart was forcefully punctured,

by a soldier’s upward, piercing blow.

Ripping the spear from the…

Man-made structures can’t last

against the blows of a spiritual blast.

As demonstrated at Jericho, walls tumbled down;

its destruction was truly inevitable!

For it was illegally stationed on holy ground.



Inside out, God moves on our heart from within;

subtly He motivates us to have Him purge our sin.

Against the barriers of our personal defense,

His Holy Spirit continually and lovingly flows,

easily overtaking our five,…

Heed this warning: Beware the Antichrist!

We know from Christ’s revelation to Man,

that the ‘End Times’ officially began in 1948

with Israel reclaiming their ancestral land.



Be aware and be not deceived.

For this evil soul shall rise up - from obscurity.

Out from the descendants of Dan

the World will take notice of Satan’s emissary.



Although the Antichrist should be easy to…

On that fateful day of Pentecost,

power came down from on high.

For it originated with God’s presence

and His Kingdom, that’s far beyond our sky.



The ascension of Christ had been witnessed,

with Him clearly rising above the clouds;

He was no longer bound by planetary constraint

and the opinionated amazement of the crowd.



Upon the Earth, a violent breeze blew;

it brought forth…

Water laden clouds burst!

Here now, comes the rain,

but I’m loving the ‘liquid sunshine’

and ignoring the weather’s torrential bane.

Despite deluges of Life’s storms,

enjoy humanity and have some fun.

Now comes the rain, washing over us anew,

as the Spirit of the Father’s Son.

Now comes the reign of Christ -

Embrace Him and His Holiness!

Be protected by the Rock’s cleft

and submerged under His Righteousness.

Be always filled with His…

Draw closer to God

and He will draw nigh unto thee,

provided you’re willing to…

demonstrate actual honesty.



For He can always see

intentions written upon one’s heart.

Stop playing games and come clean;

otherwise, His Spirit may soon depart.



Jehovah transcends the boundaries of time;

So to Him, there is nothing new under the sun.

Start by freely accepting Salvation’s gift,

which was provided by the Divine One.



One can keep His…

O my Lord of mercy and grace -

I desire to write more spiritual verse,

while flying on your notes of blessings

and overcoming Mankind’s sin curse.



My heart’s singing of your joy,

as You feed me by Your hand

the fullness of Thy melodic Word;

thus enabling… my ability to understand.



O Lord, give flight to my words

while I’m attuned to Your Spirit –

May Your message reach weary souls

and empower them with a Heavenly lift.



Allow me…

In diligent search of God

was the dark heretic,

a master of the natural world

and our father of modern physics.



In defiance of the Church

stood Sir Isaac Newton alone,

cloistered in his office, clinging…

To personal beliefs, of his own.



Interest in “The End Times”

was his lifelong, secret mission -

His papers were intentionally hidden,

from recognizing the gravity of his situation.



In the study of Divine Prophesy,

Newton…

Oh my Lord –



When will You come?

Will I be found, before my earthly life is done?



Will I experience Your Resurrection Power

and observe how sin You have conquered & devoured?



It’s a win-win scenario, for me, in any case –

As I long to see Your radiance, revealed at Heaven’s pace.



To enter Your gates with humble willingness

is real, knowing that I’m clothed by Your Righteousness.



When will You come?

Will I be found, before…

We all face challenges in our lives. Some of these challenges come from the world we live in, some come from the devil, and some even come from the Lord. As Christians, we are not of this world. The devil is under our feet. How do we know that the devil is under our feet? We know this by the Word of God that says we are seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus; Jesus is seated at the right hand of Father God, and the Word also tells us that God makes His enemies, His footstool. So, if we…

Now that people are becoming more aware of my poetic efforts, interests are being expressed regarding the background of my poetry - in addition, to my spiritual muse. Back in the Spring of 1980, I graduated from the University of Southern Maine with a B.A. in Mathematics. I chose this discipline because it was my favorite subject in school. This poem is the first and only piece (to date), where I apply this learned knowledge.

Back in February of 2007, I found a poetry contest - its…
