Hey fellas and ladies,
It seems that God has been using me in ways that I could never imagine, especially when I think of who I am without Him. I have been working on a poem these last few days and prayed that I would have it done tonight; Praise God, it is finished! I write this to bring honor to God, my Savior. I wrote using some “thees” and “Lests” because I feel our language is very restricting and high falootant (how ever you spell that) and I wanted to be concise as possible–which I hope honors God. Read it slowly because it is this way.
We just finished having our first floor Bible study in Rickard. Had a brother seek prayer and I yelled with my finger out, “Leave!” because I sensed oppression…and later he came up to me with complete joy saying that he felt something leave and lift when I said that. I felt it too, blows me away. God’s power is real.
Please pray for our prayer group, we had one man who said he felt he wasn’t living the right way, he felt an uneasiness with his soul…and yet another that wished to always seek God, and to actually find him. There are powerful times yet to come! I am so glad to have a floor of like minded men! (but not perfect, in need of growth!). It is true that anything we do for our Savior deserves nothing from him, we are in eternal debt. When we do things for Him, we are to rejoice but know that we are simply his slaves, as Paul says. Slaves do not get anything from their masters, nor do they expect it. Lets be the same way in our service!
Our Time is Short
Be there reason to restrain praise?
Though flesh is weak these days
Sing Hosanna for the days are made
Where angels and our Savior be
O, the glory I can see.
My eyes be blind, my soul need trust
The One who strengthens what He must.
Dare I praise thee less this day?
Pray no!
Our song at sunrise,
During toil, our joy to quench
And peace as eyelids close,
Thy promised splendor my eyes do see.
Look, Paul and Timothy, with flutes they dance.
How restraineth He, the excited eternity?
Leaper with joy, like a dog at our names!
Persevere, lest He find you undressed.
Work as if you see His rod.
Repent, at last! Right yourself with God!
And call to arms faith shine righteousness!
Endless prayers for Brothers send
Praise to the Alpha, the Omega,
The Beginning and the End!
Amen.
Read the Word and be filled with life! Have a blessed weekend and coming week. Rest up, enjoy God! Love–Jose
