Luke 24:50-53

Eph. 4:7-10. Assurance

As I see Jesus has ascended.

My relationship amended.

The power of God now in me.

It is my destiny.

While he sits on his throne.

I am no longer alone.

To understand and to learn.

Until the day of his return.

Acts. 1:11

He is alive.

No need to strive.

For he knows your fate.

You need to just go and wait.

For him to send Holy Spirit.

Your courage he will lift it.

Until he returns again.

Your faith will not wane.

Rev. 5-9. Last days.

Christ has come at last.

The lamb as judge is cast.

The world that is mine.

Meets he who is divine.

Who our faith defends.

With wickedness contends.

Defeated but he alone.

Is worthy to atone.

To open the book.

For world to look.

Praise honour glory acclaim.

Given to the lambs who was slain.

Then we all are told.

Of disaster that will unfold.

As each horse and rider comes out.

What caused it to come about.

Then I saw.

A world at war.

Men who murder.

Desperate with hunger

Famine and plague.

Yet faith portrayed.

Coming long delayed

Then earth destroyed.

Cannot now avoid.

Though there will be some.

Say come Lord come.

All dressed in white.

They will have the right.

To stand before throne.

Singing glory to him alone.

Without worldly fear.

Now under his care.

Prayers like incense.

Overcome any offence.

This world cannot avoid.

Being totally destroyed.

Woe! Woe! Woe!

Wherever people go.

Their situation dire.

In sulphur smoke and fire.

Despite all that was sent.

Still refused to repent.

Mark 10:23-34

The rich and the famous.

Don’t realise how dangerous.

When not needy.

Their life can be.

Yet even still

If in Gods will

They give up all.

To answer Gods call.

To where he would beckon.

Will be rewarded in heaven.

Despite present victory.

Of the enemy

Ps. 121

Lift my eyes to Lord on high.

This is only reason why.

I am confident still.

Protect and provide.

For he walks by my side.

My hope is in him.

Though my eyes may go dim

Prov. 12:23-24

Rev 1-4

He is seated on heavens throne.

All come and worship him alone.

Has authority over all the earth.

Alpha and Omega gives new birth.

Sends angels to protect and save.

Teach those who follow, to behave.

In each one he sees the good.

Pain and suffering understood

Our weakness and infirmity

Knows each one’s frailty

Now forgotten our Lord above.

That adoration of first love.

Though think we are now so poor.

Remember what was like before.

Beware of enemy who will twist.

Truth, so can’t see through the mist.

Here among you is that Jezebel.

Don’t listen to what she would tell.

Know of your great reputation.

Yet lost all Gods inspiration.

Though often feeling so poor.

Before you is heavens open door.

Now you’re neither cold or hot.

Do you want me, or do you not?

But then I see Christ in glory

Want a part in this his great story.

Mark 10:13-22

Jesus loves the attitude of the child.

Trusting totally in him reconciled.

Older now and comes to him.

Ask how can we get his approval in.

Says your dearest possession, sell.

Disillusioned in dismay.

Will I then, just walk away.

Ps. 117

Praise the Lord he his here.

I am under his love and care.

Prov. 12:20-22

1Kings. 21-22. choices

When desire the wrong thing.

The Lord in end will bring.

Disaster on you.

And everything you do.

Though repent in despair.

Not want really to hear

The battles you fight.

That seems to be right.

The word of the Lord

Is not taken aboard.

Randomly you will die.

All people will know why.

Yet there will be still

Some leaders who will.

Honour God in this life.

Who keep out of strife.

Mark 10:1-12

When asked about law.

Real meaning at the core.

Jesus with a sigh.

Explains just why.

The original plan.

Was the best for man.

To do otherwise.

Gods purpose denies.

Ps. 82

It is God who presides.

Over who leads and decides.

Whether to help the poor.

Or just those who want more.

But don’t know Gods heart.

God will replace.

Reading. Ex. 20:15. 22:1-4 Prov. 6:30-31. Luke 19:1:10

I have been inclined to steal.

What others have, I feel.

Is what I want right now.

Though conscience won’t allow.

I am taking it anyway.

What will people say?

And despite all I’m taught.

Oh no, now I am caught.

Rightfully accused.

Ignored and abused.

But Jesus comes quite near.

Calls come to me, do not fear.

I am coming to your place.

Despite what the bible says.

Amazing he does not see.

The unworthiness of me.

For he points out.

It is what he’s all about.

He comes and sups with me.

Disappointments gone, completely.

1Kings 18-20. Go.

To confront evil face to face.

Go up to Lords high place.

There to challenge evil men.

Is God for you, or for them.

They will look such a clown.

God in power comes down.

The rain breaks drought.

He is God people shout.

My strength now restored.

Run in power of the Lord.

But when see danger near.

I give into my inner fear.

Run now and hide away.

Find a cave in which to stay.

Hear earthquake fire and storm.

God whispers to me when forlorn

Says get up and go and see.

Now anoint men to follow me.

To do all that is my will.

I have work to do still.

Mark 9:38-50

Don’t believe in the bible.

Their leadership unreliable.

Until evil will reign.

Little faith does remain.

When I say l don’t agree.

What trouble l will see.

When announce to men.

The wickedness of them.

Where they least expect.

Though struggle it seems.

God supplies the means.

Now surely you will know.

Protection wherever you go.

So then he says must go back.

I’m not afraid of their attack.

Mark 9:30-37

When he abides within.

As Lord looks down from heaven.

Sees the tribulations of us men.

For his purpose appointed.

Whether or not anointed.

Or to other gods bow.

The consequences felt.

As God is left right out.

Of our prayers and thought.

As each battle is fought.

No longer to see now.

His truth and his power.

Torn church in two.

So God can renew.

Because of past rebellion.

Wickedness now within.

Whatever they say.

Will not have their way.

Who gave me all this.

See the power of his.

But then when l seek.

Pleasures that reek.

So we can now live in.

His heavenly kingdom
