'These Chains'

Poem Artwork

In my thoughts, I search myself.

This searching goes on a lot.

In that Egyptian prison,

Joseph must have done the same.

I've no answers concerning tomorrow.

Weighed down by the weight of questions,

is my very soul.

Questions about the story of my life.

In your presence Lord, anointing does break yokes.

This I can never forget as you've shown unto me.

The story of your life mate.

Are you bound by invisible chains?

Invisible chains of backwardness?

Invisible chains of uncontrollable poverty?

The chains of stagnation and marital breakdown?

The chains of sickness and paralysis?

The chains of death and even loneliness?

Happy tidings I bring to you.

And as I do, may those chains break!

Because in His PRESENCE,

anointing breaks the yoke!

Believe you may or not, TRUTH will always stand.

I agree. Faith can break through many of the chains we place onto ourselves.

IN HIS PRESENCE THERE IS COMFORT, IN HIS PRESENCE THERE IS PEACE, WHEN WE SEEK TO KNOW YOUR HEART, YOU WILL GIVE SUCH BLESSED ASSURANCE, IN YOUR HOLY PRESENCE LORD. THIS SHARING IMMEDIATELY REMINDED ME OF THE SONG 'IN HIS PRESENCE', RECORDED BY SANDY PATTY. IF YOU'VE NEVER HEARD IT, LISTEN ON U-TUBE, ITS BEAUTIFUL AND SO IS THIS MARVELOUS SHARING, SO FULL OF TRUTH! THANK YOU! LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

...yes! Dear Mary...bad things happen to good people...God's
universal purpose for all suffering...I guess...but...as you've put
it soooo wonderfully in your outstanding poem....He has not
abandoned you/us/every human being...any more than He didn't
abandon Joseph....instead of grovelling in self-pity over difficulties...
....should remember God's care for the world/peoples...let Him see
and plane the future...that isn't possible to restricted human mind
to imagine...how good can come out of bad....how unfathomable
His ways!!!!!...and as the great Alexander Pope put it:

"Lulled in the countless chambers of the brain, our thoughts are linked
by many a hidden chain; awake but one, and in, what myriads rise!...."

Thank you for sharing your words of hope...trust...when others turn against
us...when we hear the line that put Joseph in prison..."lie with me"...we find
the strength....to say...noooooooo...and to act accordingly.....
God bless you Mary!

we were anointed at the beginning of time, it's just a matter of eternal strife and remembrance ... not remembering is the true chains of spiritual growth ...

lovely poem ...

Absolutely, Mary; I know it to be true - but 'in His presence' and being bathed in the Spirit's anointing is certainly key. Wishing you every blessing from down here in wet and windy Dorset! Have just discovered Housefires II and WorshipMob - check them out if you haven't already! :) xx

Truth usually comes through in the end. But it helps to fight for what you believe.

This is a lovely job, Mary,

for whether we know it or not,

We are all in some sorts of bondage,

we are in chains to a world becomes sinful by evil!
