(battle poem without title)

[Martyr's Crown]

I wrote this poem in 2014 sometime, but it is all getting fullfilled now. It was still too difficult for me breaking free from my struggles back then, though there have been happening more changes now for me, and it is still going forward with this, too.


The enemy has put me down,
for so long, and hindered me.
Has put chains on my feet,
and set me into captivity.

I have grieved for a long time,
over losses and betrayals.
But now it is time to move on,
I will break free from this.

I will raise up my sword,
I will put on my full armour.
Then I will go into battle,
be in warfare for God's Kingdom.

I will not walk in my own strenght,
only in God's strenght I am strong.
I may feel sometimes weak,
my feelings can put me down.

But our faith isn't dependant,
on how we feel from time to time.
And we can still thank God,
even when we feel sad.

I no longer wish to be angry,
because of past hurt.
I want to put it behind,
and start a new life.

If I can start a new life everyday,
then it will be easier to enjoy life.
When my focus get's more like this,
it will also become more honourable
for God too.

He created every day to be new,
yesterday has already become old.
Let us leave what is old behind,
and let a new day arise before us,
and make it an honourable memory.

I wrote a poem like that once:

Calm me down, still I'll lie.
The storm is passed I'm still alive.
When torrents fell and all seemed lost,
I took a stand, I knew the cost.

Lightning filled the troubled night,
I caught a glimpse, in fleeting light.
In an instant, I remember still,
the form before me was poised to kill.

The blow delivered was swift and cruel,
It reeked of vengeance, he cried you fool.
fear confronts me, but not of death,
my single fear, to fail the test.

Then in a moment, though driven back,
I found the strength or nerve to act.
I cut the monster long and deep,
and fell into a wretched sleep.

The air is cool, the sunshine sweet,
I guess I lost, we'll wait and see.​

Grace and peace,
Mark

It is a nice poem, though the differences here is that your poem isn't sure about getting into victory? Since you were wondering about whether you lost or not? In my poem it is about taking action in God, getting free'd out and trusting in His strenght and not my own, e.t.c...

Thanks for sharing, though.

Aww... That's very sweet of you. Thank you!

Thank you for your comment! And I am glad you are happy about me sharing this.

Aww... That's very sweet of you. Thank you!

Yeah I've only seen you really in chat, I didn't know you wrote poems!

One time needs to be the first one for everyone with "knowing". Now you "know", though.

It's not as fatalistic as it seems, it is over apologetics and doctrinal disputes. If the enemy comes in the night, you wound him and survive, that's actually a victory. It's the feeling in the aftermath that I was expressing, he is still standing on what he defended. Win lose or draw, he took his stand. At least that was the idea behind it.

Ah, ok. Thanks for explaining. Every day is a battle of it's own, we are given the choice of what we do and whom we serve. Whether we decide walking in the flesh or walking in the Spirit, this will also bring results to which fruits you will yield from.

You didn't know I write poems, so that's why I said one time needs to be the first time for someone to be knowing something.

What I meant was that there is a first time for everything.

I was involved in a lot of doctrinal disputes, it was all kind of confusing. What I actually learned was justification by faith and standing on your faith while not without hazards, is the key.

Could you please maybe explain this last part I have lined in stronger black for me, as I don't get it fully the way it is written there? Thanks.

And well, I understand it must have been confusing having been involved in a lot of doctrinal disputes. It is fine to discuss about something in peace with one another, but when it starts getting into an argument it is just best to stop with it. Discussions will go nowhere when it ends becoming an argument as well as each part trying to convince the other that they are right.

I wasn't just talking to other Christians, I was talking to some from the cults, even confronted a couple of Moonies. My Pastor was telling me that I was setting myself up for being driven by every wind of doctrine but I wasn't worried, I figured I was rooted and grounded. Every time I was reminded that where you make your stand is on the gospel, as many different doctrinal disputes I faced, Christian and other wise I found that reliable. I was driven to the point where I sometimes had some serious doubts but always when confronted with the gospel I saw them stagger.

Nothing all that elaborate here, just was a little head strong early. You would be amazed at the allure of the cults, Christian or otherwise. I've always wanted to test my faith and see how it stood up to other ways of looking at things. I've mellowed over the years but at the time I think was too willing to stand alone. I'll never forget it though, how faith holds in the storm.

Just something I went through early, a worthwhile experience but not without it's consequences.

Grace and peace,
Mark

Thanks for the explanation as well as sharing from your own experiences in this.

Thanks for the explanation as well as sharing from your own experiences in this.

Yours sounded devotional, first your in chains, then putting on armor, then striving to honor God in your daily walk. Sounds like morning prayer. Anyway, really like the poem

The chains have been for a longer time there though, been also going through different struggles so the poem reflected what I had gone through in the few years before 2014 as well as during this time, and after untill this year we are in now. Though we all go through different stages in life, and will face given challenges which will make us grow in character and strenght.

There are parts of my poem which have already gotten fullfilled now, although there is still a lot which needs getting worked on now too, within me. I am still in a process, and there is still much to learn for me, as well as some things I need to let go off... Needing also to face and work on parts of myself which God has shown to me, which are blocking my focus in Him. He is preparing me these days, I just still need to learn being patient in waiting and walking in faith even when I still don't know what there is in front of me yet. I just need to keep on trusting in Him, and then He will show me more and lead me during the right timings.

Thanks for the compliment, and I am happy you like my poem.

Keep on having a blessed day in Him!
