Poems during trials & temptations

Author's Comments:
"Sometimes God takes us through the spiritual fire to mold and to make us what he would have us to be, to consume anything in us that is not like him or pleasing to him.(spiritual)"


Through The Fire

A higher place God said to me
I want to show you more to see
Yes I hear dear Lord
Teach me how to use your sword
In this world are pleasures
This flesh makes many wars
Overwhelmed by the enemies attack
He takes hold on my very back
Full of fear and uncertainty
I call on the Lord for he is the only hope for me
Trembling and shaking
God starts bending and Breaking
Sorrows and cries
He's making a way for me to fly
Attacks from the enemy he torments
I pick up my sword for my defense
Running toward the Lord I go
As the storm begins to blow
Ill stand close to you my Lord
And hold on to your very word
I'm tired and weary
And raised with much fury
God said hold on my child
For the storm is wild
I have shaken you
I had my rod upon you
I have cleaned you
And made you new
Look around and what do you see
A higher level closer beside me


Slipped Away

What is this that I see in front of me?
What is this that my eyes looked back to see?
To the left I was pulled away
I was confused with no words to say
Something has bothered my spirit
Something has shook and hit
I did not know how to explain what happen
I did not know what was before me to begin
My spirit was tormented day and night
My flesh was weak and couldn't fight
I sought the Lord with all my might
I held on to his word day and night
I had trusted him
Though his light seemed dim
I tried everything that I could do
Everything I have learned and knew
Soon God had pulled me through
When I sought him and stood on what I knew

Soon up ahead I see something in front of me
It's coming at me fast so I try to flee
To the right and around I try to go
But before I knew it I had slipped very low
It had taken a hold of my spirit
It grabbed hold of me with a hit
I had no time the think
I was falling and about to sink
I was tormented with the thought of dying
I didn't have the strength pulling up trying
I sought for the Lord to save me
I prayed for him to set me free
I trusted him to come by fate
Though the circumstances seemed too late
I tried with all my might
For I new my God would be in sight
Soon before me there was my Jesus
Pulling me up with all his presence


So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. -Isaiah 41:10

Satan’s Lies, God’s Glory

Believing God’s word is not always easy, When in today’s world Satan roams around freely

Lurking in all places, waiting to devour, We have to stand strong in God in that time and hour

The devil knows my weaknesses; therefore that is where he attacks the most

He slips in, in my mind’ speaking lies to glorify sin; he boast

Choosing to believe those lies is sometimes our reaction

Being caught off guard the devil sometimes gets his satisfaction

“Tested by God I say  God knows, but wants us to learn the way

Satan is used for God’s own glory, what seems to be bad, God will turn around, so no need to worry

If we just trust in him and speak his word and only listen to God, Satan lies will not be heard”

God My Helper

Everyday I go about
Full of fear and doubt
Looking for all the answers
As if I go through many wars
I wake up each morning with the plans I have for the day
I go here and there about pretending everything is okay
I know that there is a higher calling for me to do
But defeated by this world’s oppression I give into what is new
Envy and jealousy in my heart
How did I allow us to grow apart
Hurt comes in like a storm
Giving us disappointment and a heart torn
Tired and restless I become
My heart gets cold and numb
I look straight above to where my help comes from
I know I cant do things all on my own
I know I have to trust God and I have always known
Your word you given unto me
Deep down in my heart you planted the seed
Thank you oh heavenly Father for showing me
That when the storms began to blow I need to let it be
To trust you each and everyday
Not allowing things to come between us in what the world has to say
Feelings come and go
And mistakes we also make we know
You have given me joy in knowing the end
That as long as you are my best of friend
I will no longer worry the troubles about
But I will fix my heart and eyes on you and not doubt

Crippled

Me, why me?

Oh lord you see!

I can tarry this mile

For only a while

Strength weakened

My spirit quickened

Your love is deeper than mine

I partake now of heavenly wine

Oh mirror, you reflect a fleshly me

Oh holy word of God you reflect my desire

I wait oh Lord on you

My soul longs for healing a new

You are who brings wholeness

Without you I am only less

Get me quickly through the pains ive brought

Not just me but those I also hurt

Mercy for this crippled heart

Mercy lord for this crippled body

Mend and heal that which is impossible oh god

And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.-1 Peter 5:10

Crying Out

I cry out to the Lord

with my face held up forward

“Jesus my savior, hear me

Answer my prayer, have mercy

Strengthen me and give me the faith I need

I seek you dear Lord; you are in the Lead

Make a way dear Lord for me

Make a way for my prayer to be

I give you all glory 

Help me dear Lord not to worry

Trusting you dear Lord more today

I ask only to you Lord in what I say

You are the lifter up of my head

I believe in all you have said

Rebuke the enemy who comes to still

Hearken unto me and have your will”
