This situation is getting out of hand,
Young radicals angry across the land.
The President-elect won fair and square,
Misguided marchers don’t seem to care.
Their true fight is against democracy,
No respect for the law, can’t you see?
The electoral college is how it works,
Why do street puppets act like jerks?
Equal representation E.C. guarantees,
Protects us all from voter monopolies.
So suck it up, and act like real men,
In four more years, you can try again.
In this world, fame and fortune is the game,
But rich or poor, our end will be the same.
Whether we die young, or last and grow old,
We all end up six feet under, dead and cold.
There is more, than what the world can give,
God’s desire, is that for eternity we live.
But to do so, we must partake of His Grace,
Believe in Jesus, and run in His great race.
The Angels cheer us on, as we live each day,
Listen closely, and you may hear them say:
Strive for your Crown, it is all you can do,
Strive for your Crown, He commands you to.
Oh how they love their manifestations,
As they stomp, shake and jerk about,
They say such things are of the Lord,
But my friend, I really have to doubt.
They say they are slain in the spirit,
As they are falling all over the place,
But when I watch some of those videos,
It is just like seeing Satan face-to-face.
What is wrong with all of those people?
Do they really not know how to discern?
They should ask God for His true Spirit,
And His wisdom so that they can learn.
For not every spirit comes from above,
Liars and deceivers there are so many,
The Bible warns us of these vile things,
Make sure your church doesn’t have any.
You stubbornly decided to go your way,
What God thought, you really didn’t care,
But now that He’s put the pressure on,
You dare complain that it’s just not fair.
Well, what did you think would happen,
When you poked a finger in God’s eye?
No, He won’t let you get away with it,
Regardless of how loud you even cry.
You foolishly asked for the spanking,
So be quiet and take it like a man,
Maybe the next time you’ll be smarter,
And you’ll obey Him the best you can.
This two-part article is a frank discussion which exposes the demon of addiction, motivates Christians to forsake their smoking habit, and encourages them to use their lives for God’s glory.
While presidents and PMs may come and go,
And rivers are born then stop their flow,
There is one thing that you ought to know,
Our God above still runs the whole show.
He rules the world from behind the scenes,
Setting up kings and at times some queens,
Tho we don’t understand what it all means,
It is to His Will that the whole world leans.
From the rising Moon to the setting Sun,
As each planet and star makes its daily run,
We come to see after all is said and done,
Our Heavenly Father is still number one.

“For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.” 1 Peter 2:21-24, KJV

And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him, Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish. Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand? Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace. So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.” Luke 14:25-33, KJV
