For Justice

Find your own voice
for Justice
In a world
that speaks
with mixed messages.
You be the beacon of light
rising over the clouds,
transcending
the noise
of twisted minds, haft truths,
and white lies;
polite societies build on hypocrisy.
You be
the voice of justice.
Speak truth no matter what.
Yet, give the understanding.
Tell them what the word says
and not what the world says.
Remind them of the golden
commandment-" Love your neighbor as you love yourself ( James 2:8)."
Basic, simple, yet, so true.
Upon this hangs all the law and the prophets ( Matt. 22:36,37,38,39,40)
This is the foundations of true Justice.

Listen

So many sounds,
all saying something.
Yet, among all sounds
there is one true sound,
out of which all things resonate
have there being
and come into existence
from thought to actuality
from spiritual to physical
from that which can only be imagined
to that which is tangible, seen,
touched, felt, an evident presence,
so that the thing formed is not formed of itself
so that the thing formed is not formed of itself
From this one sound
came we all
from the thunder and rumbling
like the sounds of many waters
came forth
that one, true, sound
the voice of the Living God

AaaaMen

The New Gadite

There's been new worlds,
new ways, new means
to uncertain and bloody ends,
new beginnings
from chaos to unstable orders,
unto psychotic societies
bent on obtaining new houses,
new cars, new schools, new money.
New Negros
and new times, and Now is the time!
But, I am the new Gadite.
The new Gadite(Gen. 49:19).
Yet, I was here from the beginning,
ever since He guided me
across the Atlantic millenniums ago,
by that cloud by day and that fire by night.
They called my nation Red.
But, I am from the earth,
made of the soil of these here lands,
God calls Another Country- Azareth.
I am the new wine.
Listen to my drumbeat, hear my cry-
the offerings of the sounds of my lips,
swaying to the beat
moving in the spirit as I dance.
All praises to the Spirit.
God is a spirit.
And all who worship God,
must worship Him in spirit and in truth (John 4:23-24).
I am the new Gadite (Deut. 33:20)
they hallucinating, thinking
they could ever stop me from being a nation.
I am the son, and He is the Father,
and the Earth is my mother.

Renewal

What if you could start all over again. How  would you restructure your relationships, your marriage, your parenting style, your approach to making a living? What would you do differently? What if I told you, you could start over again? How would you feel?
I know for me it would feel like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. All the guilt, disappointments and shame of past mistakes would be gone. I would feel free to move, do, and live- to make all things new again.
This opportunity of starting over again is what Christ was talking about when he said for a man to see the kingdom of heaven he had to be born again. The past is forgiven and a new birth now exist. All our errors, mistakes, mess-ups, with all our sins are blotted out before God, who grants us pardon by his grace and mercy, so we can start all over again the right way. We are considered a new man before him, and old things are pasted away.
The concept and experience of renewal is open to all of us through the Messiah, the Son of God. It starts by us obeying Christ as God commanded us to do. And his instructions are found in the gospel of God- the Holy Bible. It is the greatest feeling and experience to be renewed before God.
However, know also, that renewal comes with its' own challenges, due to the fact that we are not in the physical kingdom of God and Christ yet. We still have the challenge of battling our flesh or sin nature that is still present, along with the daily temptations of living in a sinful world. Therefore, we must heed the instructions of the apostle Paul to bring our flesh into subjection to God in order to avoid the trap of sin.
Our renewed spirit must fight continually against the spirit of the flesh to maintain its' renewed state. We are still renewed even in this state before God, but we have to war to keep ourselves on the strait and narrow path that leads to the kingdom of heaven- by faith, hope, and love.

Dance

Isn't it funny how weeks turn into years,
how yesterday fades into the past
and our moments become memories
-Solomon was right,
everything flows into itself;
we come and we go and come again.
Therefore, how we choose to live this week,
the year coming, our tomorrows,
and each moment will determine
our joy and the happiness of living.
So, I say, "Wisdom, take my hand
and lead me in your dance that you
call life; so that I may have no regrets
when it is done."

Prov. 8:1,2,3,4,5
Prov. 8:32,33,34,35,36
