  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I'm not sure what this is, but I think it's a poem. :) I didn't work on it a lot, it's just what's in my mind right now, so any comments are welcome.

Stand firm in faith, child of God!
The Holy Ghost is inside you,
His strength will uphold you,
His Word will guide you,
His Truth has set you free,
And you are free indeed.

This world is falling apart,
The evil one is controlling those who refuse to believe,
In chains, in darkness, in blindness,
Always dying, dead in their sins, because they won't come to the Light and have life,
Their souls are always restless,
Wandering aimlessly in wickedness,
With their minds trapped in lies,
Because truth was never in their father.

Children of the Most High God,
You have defeated this evil world,
By the Power of the One who lives inside you,
So take your Swords and put on your Armors,
Fight for His Kingdom and proclaim His Word,
As it is written.

The people living in darkness have seen a Great Light,
But most refuse to come to Him,
Always being blinded by the false, deceitful lights that flicker in the shadows,
That are always misleading, always deceiving,
Trapping their souls in pits, darkness choking them, serpents controlling them.

Lord Jesus Christ, shine Your Light brightly through Your servants,
The Light that no darkness can ever overcome,
Let us speak Your truth and open the prison doors,
Because You hold the key,
That will set the captives free.

Our Father in Heaven, let Your Word be a lamp to our feet,
And light up the darkness with Your Truth,
Lead us into the chaos, it won't overcome us,
Because we trust in You, and only in You!
Father, Your will be done!

Sons and daughters, go forth into the battle,
Fearing no evil, because God is with you,
Stand strong in the safety and authority of His Holy Name,
Conquer the enemy and trample him down!
Nothing will in no way harm you.

Take your Swords and run to the lost,
Break their strongholds, break their chains,
Speak the words that our Father will give you,
The truth that will defeat the confusion in their hearts,
Let them see the One to whom you belong,
To the Light of the world who gives sight to the blind.

Say to the lost:
Repent, and be baptized in the name of Jesus,
For the Kingdom of Heaven is near,
The Holy Ghost will be inside you,
His strength will uphold you,
His Word will guide you,
His Truth will set you free,
And you will be free indeed.

Powerful poem, Emli! :rose:

Yes, I see it as a poem, though it may also be a prophetic "put-together" poem. As I "believe strongly" and "know" that this will be happening, at God's right timing! :):thumbsup:

When God's Kingdom is on the move.

Praise Him!

Thanks. I didn't think of it that way. :)

Hi Emili - I would describe both your and Princess's writing as 'from the heart, devotional, (and yes sometimes) prophetic, out pourings/meditations. They encourage and uplift and we share your journey with you.
What poetry is, is a big topic and much has been and could be said :).
There is one linguistic flaw in this one "So take your Swords and equip your Armors,".
"equip your Armors" maybe should be, "put on your armour" or "be armed"?
Go well, write on,

Thank you very much. :) I am glad that you enjoy my poems, and I agree with you about Crowned Princess' poems which are great.

I really appreciate the correction, since English is not my first language. :) I will change it, because your suggestion works much better.

God bless you!
