Go Forth

The Holy Ghost gave me a new poem this morning at the kitchen table. I share it with you with the sense of urgency and exhortation that I received it in. The time draws so near to Christ’s return. “Multitudes, multitudes in the Valley of Decision”. Population of the earth over 8 billion!!!!

Go Forth ©️

Go forth and be not hindered 

By the happenings of the day.

He Who’s True and Faithful 

Has His hand on you always.

Be not shaken by the natural

Nor frightened by what you hear:

You are born again of the Spirit

And have put on spiritual ears.

You have become a brand new creature

And are seated in heavenly places.

You’ve been ordained and chosen

No longer fear the faces.

Go forth and spread the Gospel 

In the power of His might;

Endued with the Holy Spirit

Salt of the earth and light.

Be about the Father’s business,

Occupy until Christ comes:

Strive to do His bidding 

Until the Word is heard “Well done”.

His Workmanship

The Holy Spirit blessed me with this poem this morning as I was reading. See poem below and related Scriptures. ✍️

His Workmanship 

By George Thurlow

©️September 4, 2024

Frustrated and dissatisfied 

With a discontented view,

A negative self image

That has gone askew?

Don’t criticize God’s workmanship,

You are uniquely you:

Created for His purposes 

From a divine depicted view.

You are a special Masterpiece

Fitted precisely for His plan:

A peculiar puzzle piece,

God’s own “poemia” man.

Fearfully and wonderfully,

By the Lord you were handmade:

To serve and glorify Him,

He is acquainted with all your ways.

In His book your days were written,

How marvelous is His works.

Now get in line, with His design

Your opposition shirk.

For you are God’s own poem

Through the Spirit envision your role.

There’s a niche for you in His Kingdom 

With a purpose, gift and goal.
