"It is not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the Lord Almighty."
ZECHARIAH 4:6
Always learning but never knowing
The things that they so often say,
Having form but not empowering-
The Spirit absent when they pray.
You see the Substance of the Word
Is not just idle words of men,
It has the Power of the Lord
Cutting through the hearts of men.
Without the Presence of the Savior,
In the hearts of those who study,
There is no Guide in all their labor,
Their search for Truth will be so empty.
Voluminous words won't touch another
But space and time it will occupy.
For only God bestows His Power
On a man's word, devoid of lies.
You wonder then, why do some have it?
Their words like flames fly out to you,
The message burns, your soul to meet
Your mind and heart it will undo.
For the workings of the Holy Spirit,
The Power of that Resurrection,
Transcends the plane of tales and myth,
And breaks the chains of false perception.
Desire His Presence, let Him fill you-
And humbly ask for His anointing,
His gifts will pour out, birth in you
Love, Joy, Peace, and Long-Suffering.
Your barren previous life will be
Active, growing, ever joyful-
His Power guides your step you see
He'll make you whole, oh so fruitful!
You'll see the Word in a new perspective,
And you'll understand the God you seek.
His Word will live and be so active
That knowledge makes you humble, meek.
"I run in the path of Your commands, for You have set my heart free."
Yes, The Holy Spirit of God makes all the difference. The truth of God's Word breathes through your poetry and so I believe He uses it to glorify Himself. Poetry in its most exalted form exalts Jesus.
Cynthia this is the truth that sets us free! You bring clarity to it, in this splendid poem! I hope it will lead people to give thought to the subject. yet so many will not understand for it is God who opens us to the Holy spirit, and so many refuse to seek His favor/ They stay blind out of ignorance, yet won't humble themselves to seek Him. We can only keep writing as you have done so beautifully with this poem.
He Keeps Me is a devotional journey of revelation and insight birthed out of prayer.Searching the Word of God revealed the many ways that He has kept me and continues to keep me. Each day is an opportunity to recognize that God is mindful of you, eve
