CHRISTIAN POEMS AND DEVOTIONALS FOR THE SEARCHING AND WEARY

PEARLY GATES OPEN FOR ME, LOVE AND LIFE POEM, HEAVEN OR HELL

Saint Peter and Paul open those pearly gates for Jesus did die for me and I am ready for the bits of heaven promised on street heaven.

WHEN THE HORN

IS BLOWN UP YONDER

   When the horn is blown up yonder,
        The summons is heard below,
   When the dawn of earthly death
        Awakes our psyche with a blast.

   When the distance horizon appears
        And no one has come back but Jesus,
   When what time left is unknown.
        Will you be prepared to meet God.

   Then before the horn blows up yonder,
       Prepare yourself, dedicate yourself
   For the soul that has prepared his spirit
       Fears not when the horn is blown.

   Remember membership in Heaven
       Doesn't come from many good works,
   Christ paid for our sins on the cross,
       Confess and accept Jesus as your Lord.

   Hurry, Hurry, it isn't too late,
       Jesus is knocking at your door,
   Turn the doorknob and open wide
       And be ready when the horn is blown.

UNKNOWN DUST

By Frank Henrich 1979

Situation: You’re sitting in a large, comfortable chair, looking out into your backyard. You’ve been busy and it is so pleasant to relax. Suddenly you realize that you’re home alone – that the TV is not blaring and the radio is silent. Your mind considers your life’s fast pace. Your weary bones seem to cry out, ‘Why? Why?” You cannot help but respond for their plea is so urgent. Your mind responds that who cares about mundane things. Even where the lives of famous people are recorded in books, the mundane is rarely told. Your mind switches from the mundane to the important. The question is thrust forth, “What value is your life?” The purpose of your life is not mundane to you but would it be to others? You pick up the pen and writing tablet from the small table beside your chair. You think, what a rare moment. They come so infrequently. You write your thoughts. May I share with you what I wrote?

History rarely records the mundane. The ordinary person’s life remains unrecorded in a permanent record or book. Thus our memory starts to pass from this earthly scene with our death. After our death then our friends die and with them dies the knowledge of our life. A life that is so paramount and important to us, yet in 50 years passes all memory. Well then, what value is life? To please us while we are here? Are we to be like the racer who grabbed the baton and ran with it, fulfilling our part to the best; passing it on in old age, falling to the ground; turning back into unknown dust?

No! I refuse to believe that there is no greater destiny for mankind. Jesus has the only answer and life with God in heaven is the reward. So I will lift up my eyes in hope. I shall take pleasure in those occasional moments of joyful living. I will spread His name. Recognizing that to the world in 50 years, my life will only be “Unknown Dust.” But so what! I’ll be in heaven. How about you? Read scripture: Genesis 3:19

HEAVEN OR HELL

Jesus did die for me and promised if I lived a life pleasing to God I could pass thru the pearly gates and see little bits of heaven on street heaven where I would see Saint Peter and Paul. I am ready when you are Lord Jesus.

HOPE FOR US IN JESUS

1 John 5:11-21 11 And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 So whoever has God's Son has life; whoever does not have his Son does not have life.

13 I write this to you who believe in the Son of God, so that you may know you have eternal life. 14 And we can be confident that he will listen to us whenever we ask him for anything in line with his will. 15 And if we know he is listening when we make our requests, we can be sure that he will give us what we ask for. 16 If you see a Christian brother or sister sinning in a way that does not lead to death, you should pray, and God will give that person life. But there is a sin that leads to death, and I am not saying you should pray for those who commit it. 17 Every wrong is sin, but not all sin leads to death.

18 We know that those who have become part of God's family do not make a practice of sinning, for God's Son holds them securely, and the evil one cannot get his hands on them. 19 We know that we are children of God and that the world around us is under the power and control of the evil one. 20 And we know that the Son of God has come, and he has given us understanding so that we can know the true God. And now we are in God because we are in his Son, Jesus Christ. He is the only true God, and he is eternal life. 21 Dear children, keep away from anything that might take God's place in your hearts. NLT

DELIVERANCE PRAYER

(substitute your name and sin where noted)

Lord God, I (your name) have sinned
Against you and need your forgiveness;
I have a sin addiction of (name the sin)
And have tried not to sin but yet sin.

I cannot overcome temptations to sin
Without your help, so please hear me
Have mercy on my soul and help me
And I will avoid circumstances leading to sin.

Please heal me outright so I don't sin,
If not outright send me the help I need
To live a life pleasing to you my God
I ask this Father God, in the name of Jesus.
