Serve For Those To Come

during seasons of life‒
Righteousness and Sinfulness
orbit
one must decide
its rightful split
‒cleanse thy heart
or be singed in flames
it’s a choosing inferment
a chosen wick
which way to split

to serve the Lord
one must be true
in heart and soul
‒no contradict
will fit

at the end of each Life
there lies a transcript
deep within the heart
of each Spirit

there's no overriding
there's no conflict

to do in this Life
Good or bad
sends a nick in the pick
some overridden
others firmly stick

true hearts live in Righteousness
even being a derelict
or someone's gimmick
they bolt when Sin
covers them
maybe in Unrighteous ways
‒there's always an asterisk
for them
for God controls their ship

sinners inflict
pushing at Righteousness
but Righteousness stands firm
in doing for the Captain
‒His ultimate verdict
even when it yields
no profit

the Righteous stand firm
against addicts and riots
they see the law
in vivid
even when clouds
bring them to timid

the sinner always depicts
a different line
a smothered tune
to fit
where it can submit

if the sinner
doesn't see the conflict‒
moves with Righteousness
in a complete healer's orbit
then on goes the wick
‒a final verdict
in a destructional tactic
‒for the Kingdom
it is unfit

(April 2, 2024)—Similitude Four given to Hermas. He led me to Acts 13:44-47.

Peas of Course

winters seem to appease
bringing much
to the same disease
‒the state of being peas
all the same
seemingly an entreat
all searching‒
a various kind of cheese
neither sour or sweet
neither pleased nor displeased
but ending
in a greek hades

‘Accomplishing of Merit’

…Jesus relied, ‘No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the Kingdom of God.’… Matthew 8:18-22 and Luke 9:57-62

Accomplishing of Merit

like the elm
haughty and strong
and the vine
nourishing and vibrant
to the Lord
are the realm
of the symbolic God
who gives from the heart
for the rich and the poor
each waging a part
in the Kingdom of the Lord

if the rich man
uses his given cart
to aid the poor man
without Doubting his mark

the gift of riches given
a gift in post mark
aiding those weak and scared

the poor and withered
the homeless and sick
the orphan and widows

with his given wealth
in return comes
a humbled art
prayers sought
but unheard
because of wealth's dart

but the poor man
‒a prayer in czar
never from God
does he depart

in grateful thanksgiving
takes the rich man in Concord
praying without alarm
‒upon the rich man's giving
passes his Godly charm
into the heavenly realm
without Greed's harm

so in regard
a test is passed
bringing the rich man
closer to the Lord

there is a curve
in which to regard

wealth given
in a wager's conform
‒will the giving be given
without Resentment
or Hostel warn

will the wealth be taken
in a Godliness of reborn
passing back to the giver
a healthy praying horn

all is misconstrued
if the giving is just a credit card
soaked up in Greed and lard
or if the taking is just a discard
Selfishness in retard

all will be lost
in a heavenly discharge

in Surety
keep trust in heart
give without being harsh
take without a beggar's storm
then pray
for the wealth in escort
so that Righteousness
plays his heavenly part
equally
absent of discharge

(April 1, 2024)—I’ve accomplished the rewriting of the twelve commandments given to Hermas. The list can be found with ‘Desires Bent in Two.’

‘Desires Bent in Two’

It is up to you to understand them.

Desires Bent in Two

separateness of self
depends
on sought-after desires
one inspires
the other sinks into fires

clothe yourself with Good desires
Righteousness and Virtue
Truth, Fear of the Lord
Faith and Meekness

these will arm you
become your sire
wage wars against evil
with heavy pliers

seek them fully
‒they will never tire
against Wicked desires‒
wild and tamed in difficulty
‒the consuming conspires
daughters of satan
the ultimate liar
mounting upon mounting
Wickedness for hire

leave another's Love alone
refrain from Extravagance
useless delicacies and drinks
foolish luxuries
‒all luxury….don't be the buyer

hence, read the flier
these leave you
the crier
clenched only
in evil desires

become the master
over these briers
live to God with Faith
that doesn't expire
be armed with the Fear of God
expelling all evil desires
for all Good desires
saving yourself from the eternity
of fires

(March 28, 2024)—The twelfth commandment given to Hermas.

Trust in the Multitude of Good

the Power of the divine Spirit
speaks humbly
lives peacefully, meekly
refrains from all Iniquity
‒leaves the vain desires of the world
has few wants…isn't pushy

when asked
the Holy Spirit speaks truthfully
only what He wants
as the Lord wishes
‒whatever Power comes from He
belongs to the Lord gracefully

this…a true prophet
of the heavenly body

then there is one wicked and worldly
earthly
false prophets attending preachly
powerless, foolish, empty

a man seeming to have the Spirit
may seem wise
but is just trendy
‒exalting himself praiseworthy
talkative, living in luxury
being bold and impudently
lives for rewards
for his prophecy

the divine Spirit‒
God's utility
refraining from luxury
rewards from man‒
a vulgarity
‒adorns his company
with the Holy
in civil
with certainty of the Righteous

the false prophet
hangs himself with Vanity
of gloriousness
among doubters
deceiving them accurately
giving to their desires…Vainglory
leaving them as empty
as he is

he places himself in academy
with needers
for Empty places with Empty
as a collection...fully

in the spread-out vastness
of the assembly
in a notation from God
the Spirit of divine‒
the Righteous pray
leaving the false Spirit
Empty
the Earth Spirit departs the man
through Fear
leaving the man dumbfound
unable to speak assuredly
relying on pages of note taking
for accuracy
fooling those in Doubt
to trust fully
‒the Spirit of divinity
departs from such idolatry
for it sickens Him
deeply

make the decision righteously
trusting in the Spirit from God
whole-heartedly

earthly Spirits are powerless
and weak
living in a pretend society

while the divine Spirit
seeks only the Father
for the smallest of things
from the heavenly realm
have great Power
‒all deemed Holy

refrain from the false prophet
‒being an idolatry
devoid of Truth
being asked by the common
given answers 
foolishly

the Spirit given by God
is never asked
only speaking
with the Power of divinity
in Truth
and is worthy
of God's presence
whole-heartedly

(March 27, 2024)—The eleventh commandment given to Hermas.

He directed me to open the book after I read over this piece. I didn’t like it so I closed the book. He said to open again and the same page! It was the Scripture concerning the judgment against Sidon and Jeremiah’s escape from death.

‘Casting Out Grievousness’

‘…forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us…’—Luke 11:1-4

Casting Out Grievousness

lest my poor heart
lie in Doubt
filling me up
with Anger's shout
failing in Powerlessness
to the wills of Grief

Lord, help me open and see
what Truth lies within me

help me do away
once and for all
this heart-eating wrath
of Grief

take me
way down deep
open all parts of me
let them fall…each piece
that sours my sleep
awaken me fully
to the Spirit
who wants me…to keep

please, take all of it
from me
wash me, purify me
to the liking
of He who doesn't sleep

let me enjoy Comfort
in the arms of Yeshuah
who laid down His life
‒keeping me out of creep
the loneliness of Grief
which comes to enjoy
its pitfalls in Angry
its Doubting surgery
cutting inside of me
scaring me deep

please, Lord, brace me
in free
out of Grief's captivity
do away with these chains
that once bound me
in Brevity

I cast out this Grief
in Yeshuah's name
I bid it farewell
for in the Lord
I am free
living Life
in Joy and Happy
knowing
the Kingdom awaits me
with no more need
for this body
just the Holy Spirit
whom I fought
to keep inside of me

I win
for freedom of me
I see!

(March 24, 2024)—The tenth commandment given to Hermas. Grief. Anger. Doubt.

‘A Mongol’s Reputation’

‘…stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the word of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain…’—1 Corinthians 15:51-53

A Mongol's Reputation

be away from the snake
that stamps you
in his wake

be one with Him
who created all things
step into Faith
‒let Him be your mate

in anything you ask
ask in pure Faith
with a trusting heart
believing it is yours
‒the Father….for you
will create

Doubting goes in the sack
with Hate
he is not your date
only brings stalemate
‒an Ego to inflate

be vengeful in your take
thrusting Doubt
out like a stale cake

standup to Doubt
he's a sneaky devil's snake
coming to steal
all that you ask
God to create

release all Doubt
for your soul's sake
be plentiful in Faith
asking the Father
in pure vindicate
making a way
for all that you desire
not remembering
not one single mistake

(March 21, 2024)—The ninth commandment given to Hermas. Cease doubt. Live in faith.

‘…stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the word of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain…’—1 Corinthians 15:51-53

Restrain's Two-Fold

above all…Faith
saving face
in every way
fearing the Lord
keeps you safe

‒living in Love and Concord
using words of Righteousness
keeping in Truth
having Patience
all are the way
giving self
a brighter day

above all else
nothing holds more sway

leave out Self-restraint
in these acts
the Mighty rest in its clay
‒all basted in the Light's ray

stand up, say, 'hurray'
there's no holiday
from this simple essay

there's the Good
do it
so all will be okay

help the widows, the orphans
the needy
fulfill the necessities
of all God's servants
be hospitable
without over-indulgence
or opposing‒
those being quiet
having fewer needs
than all men‒

respect the aged
practice Righteousness‒
watching out for each other
bear insolence and long-suffering
without devious compliant
be encouraging to the sick
in soul‒
don't cast them out
show them the Way

turn them back
show what they lack
restore them
but admonish sinners
for their slack
but hold debtors and the needy
accountable
for their Faith
without oppression

being in these…Courageous
brings you into the Father
and you'll see the Son someday
‒holding to great Faith

keep hold of yourself
return after the stray
your time of disobey
‒doing against God's say
what's deemed‒
the lost of Self-restraint

adultery, fornication
unlawful reveling
wicked luxury and extravagant riches
self-boastfulness and haughtiness
insolence, lies and backbiting
hypocrisy
keep from remembering wrongs
and from all slander‒
stay away

there's more to say
to evil's sway
restrain thy self
from the perpetual
lies, theft, robbery
false witness, overreaching
wicked lust, deceit, vainglory
boastfulness

exceedingly wicked
in the Father's way

keep in the Faith
never be two-faced
be a yes, or a no
never a be in may

all these not a touché
but the weight
of a Kingdom's tray

(March 20, 2024)—The eighth commandment given to Hermas.

Justice in Fear

take Comfort in this frontier
through all turbulent atmosphere
the deeds of satan
be no where near

but all concerning God
is justified in Fear
in Him who created you
in His Son
who gave armored gear

hold no Fear in satan, himself
for he holds
no great cheer

be well and hear
in clear
hold yourself into the Lord
with great Love and Fear
and evil…from you
will disappear

exist two kinds of Fear
for you to persevere
bracing yourself in Lord-Fear
makes doing wrong
a bit queer
refraining you
from its commandeer

bracing yourself in Lord-Fear
makes doing right
taking you out of puppeteer
basking you
in Sincere

so to the Lord
give your Fear
in not doing wrong
in not doing right
to become a divine musketeer
not stained in regretful tears
but soaked in the rays‒
the ultimate volunteer
where no sin
can interfere

(March 16, 2024)—The seventh commandment given to Hermas. After He led me to the life of Yeshuah, the Christ.

‘The Straight Way’

The Straight Way

there is placed
on the table
an entrée
‒a serving of the Way
and one that goes astray

when Righteousness
is at play
loving the Lord
with all your heart
the path is straight

when Unrighteousness
is at play
many places and stumbling blocks
overlay
where rough―heavy―lays
injurious is the protégé
passing out thorns
in touché

there are two messengers
‒a choice in obey
Righteousness and Iniquity
who want to douse you
in each's negligé
‒know the difference
know the sway
hold tight in everlasting 'Faith'

Righteousness' matinée
‒gentleness, kindness
meekness and peacefulness

he's not a cliché
he talks in pure sunrays
Righteousness' purity, chastity
contentment
all Good deeds and glorious virtue
‒allowing him into your heart
all these rays
explode inside you
like pompeii

trusting in him
brings lighter days

Iniquity's heavy weight
brings about a road
in speedway

he's wrathful and bitter
foolish in his evil works
out to ruin the servants of God
through his conniving resume

understand Iniquity's spray
depart from him
give no respect or trust
to his hurrah

all that he offers
‒unprofitable to servants of God

know this difference
between
Righteousness and Iniquity
trust in the messenger of Righteousness
depart from the messenger of Iniquity

‒though a heart faithful to Yahweh
Iniquity comes to persuade
the vessel to Sin's risqué
‒though a heart lost to Sin's engage
Righteousness comes
for Good's caché

you see‒
everyone is just halfway
it is a choice made
the crooked or the straight way

this is the absolute of Faith
trusting in the messenger of Righteousness
all the way

refusing the messenger of Iniquity
leads to a life in God
‒settled and clear
on your judgment day

(March 5, 2024)—This is the sixth commandment given to Hermas.
