As I pray in Jesus Christ✝️ name

To reflect on your goodness and

Faithfulness towards us I am reminded

Of your gratitude and the latitude

In mindset that we ⛪️ get

In understanding the modern blessings

We are afforded in this country

Within this dispensation of time

Where we get to live among those

Who willing, boldly, and faithfully

Allow Your light to shine

In this world

Where persecution is made into a light affliction

And we we deal with no conviction

Thats not unto death

As I reflect on our heritage

Im reminded of countries as

Romania, China, Afghanistan

Africa and

Others where our sisters and brothers

Have in times past Have

Been slayed and slaughter

In ways unimaginable to those of our nation

And yet frustration breaks out

Amongst have nots versus those

Who seemingly got clout

This is our work in progress to realize

The privilege of your liberality

Seen in the light affliction from realities

Easily resolved by those involved

Directly with the proclamation

of sound doctrine

Like,

“This is our heritage!”

To this Lord✝️

Once more help 👍🏾us⚖️ “realize

With real eyes”

Who are the strong,

Like Richard Wurmbrand

Or Martin Luther

Or John Wesley

Or Harriet Tubman

Or Cory Ten Boom

“other close ancestors”

Seen in our “school work”

Laboring among us as to who

They really are

To end that in this day

We can say with assurance

In God✝️ through Jesus Christ✝️

We trust fully, for how we

And they

As the ever faithful that have been kept

Along with the many among us

Likewise to the end that your will be

Done in us and through us

Unto an unshakable beginning ✝️ confidence

Live between this man

And this ⚖️woman

Who prays faithfully for Your✝️ will

Like, thus saith The Lord,

For our light affliction,

which is but for a moment,

worketh for us

a far more exceeding

[and] eternal weight of glory

Until He✝️ comes back for 👍🏾us⚖️

In Jesus Christ✝️ name

I pray and give thanks

Amen.

A Poetry Jam Spoken Word Prayer

Scriptural Foundation: Ephesians 5:1–21

Heart Examination: Philippians 3:7–16; Philippians 4:8–9

Mind and Spirit: Romans 8:5–6

As I pray today 

in the name of Jesus Christ✝️ 

👍🏾our⚖️ Only ✝️ Way

may You✝️ continue 

to teach 👍🏾us⚖️

The meaning of the word Love✝️

As You✝️ know it’s 

Not convenient.

Not sentimental 

though it works the mental

Tests 👍🏾our⚖️ faith 

when truth goes against 

saying the right thing

Yet as You also know 

You✝️ know what to do 

when somebody hurts.

This Love as Your✝️ Love.

Is Love✝️ that spiritually enters.

Listens.

Learns.

Shines.

“Glows”

Yet goes against 👍🏾our⚖️ emotions.

Heard by 👍🏾us⚖️ as,

“Running counter to 👍🏾our⚖️ feelings”

a place in 👍🏾our⚖️ heart unfamiliar

where the real work

Of healing takes place

A place where 👍🏾we⚖️ meet 

to think of reasons

👍🏾we⚖️ desire 

👍🏾our⚖️ Lord✝️ versus this world’s system 

A place where the flesh is dealt with 

according to Scripture 

so ultimately Love✝️

as You✝️ know it 

can find its agreement point.

Lord✝️ teach us about this place

As You✝️ see 👍🏾us⚖️

to prepare ourself

to meet where 👍🏾 we⚖️ are—

without forgetting

Who You✝️ are

Because if ⚖️we👍🏾

love like Jesus,

then Jesus

can shine through us.

With this prayer Lord✝️, 

as you show 👍🏾us⚖️ who we are, 

To share who 👍🏾we⚖️ are 

And teach 👍🏾us⚖️

who we are supposed to be. 

In Jesus Christ✝️ name

I pray and give thanks. 

Amen

As I pray today 

in the name of Jesus Christ✝️ 

👍🏾our⚖️ Only ✝️ Way

may You✝️ continue 

to teach 👍🏾us⚖️

The meaning of the word Love✝️

As an Effective comfort

to the restless unto sweet sleep 

To those who weep

a hug that bears all things 

believes all things 

and hopes all things

as Your✝️ reminder to us 

that in You✝️ we can trust 

Your✝️ Love to be 

effective enough

to confront the cause 

of undue tears,

unnecessary fears,

or hurts from pains of past years

God✝️ this is what 

Your✝️ doctrine is for

Reproof to what we disagree with

or correction of our thinking

for instruction in righteousness

Hence You✝️ plainly 

wrote the words in song

🎶You are good🎶

as reminder that righteousness is

🎶What your famous for!🎶

So in that Lord✝️ we can

🎶Be grateful🎶

Grateful for Your✝️

Effectual fervent Love✝️

strong enough

to listen in difficulty 

before answering,

to discern before deciding,

to be transparent versus hiding,

to pray before providing

a solution to a problem

I haven’t taken time

to understand.

Because in this life at times

love doesn’t need

another speech.

For this prayer and other reason

Your✝️ kind of Love✝️ needs

preparation.

So Lord✝️ based on 

what you know about 

about us 

may You✝️ share 

what trust looks like 

What raised right is like

and what came from this life

Important questions 

to You✝️ for us

answered by 

the Only ✝️ One we trust

Oh Lord✝️! 

May you indeed speak.

In Jesus Christ✝️ name

I pray and give thanks. 

Amen. 

As I pray today 

in the name of Jesus Christ✝️ 

👍🏾our⚖️ Only ✝️ Way

may You✝️ continue 

to teach 👍🏾us⚖️

The proper preparation 

Of our heart to enter words

suitable for ears,

edifying of spirit,

received in silence

Unto healing that leads to peace

Because fellowship

is more than being near.

It’s learning

how to hear

Absolute ✝️ Truth 

of 1John for

casting out fear,

drying every tear,

as reminder that 

God✝️ working through 

his chosens are still here. 

Therefore, 

Help 👍🏾us⚖️ Father✝️

to learn how to be

Exactly what Christ✝️

requires of 👍🏾me.

As well, teach me

how to see Ms. ⚖️

correctly

and respectfully;

how to speak

without vanity

and preserve her ⚖️ sense

of my 👍🏾 sanity 

knowing that I 👍🏾 have 

a lot✝️ on my 👍🏾 mind

a lot✝️ in my 👍🏾 heart

mostly geared towards 

“establishing a finish ✝️ before it starts”

yet wrapped up in such seriousness

is the care, smile and laugh 

that she ⚖️ deserves.

God✝️, “that’s a heavy!”

Hence, ✝️preparation! 

Im in the gym 

to make sure that

when she⚖️ sees me👍🏾

“I’m Him✝️!”

So again, vain words 

in this context 

concerning me don’t exist. 

Everything I intend do has a reason 

important to Your✝️ will being done 

in this season. 

So, though on my 👍🏾own

I’m not my 👍🏾own!

Therefore,

she’s ⚖️ something to think about,

because just as essential 

as a ☺️thought😏 ⚖️

is knowing “history is important”

and Your✝️ grace is sufficient 

So this prayer needs Your✝️ help

and Your✝️ touch in order 

for it to reach 👍🏾our⚖️ hearts properly 

For the work of Your✝️ son

who meant so much 

to You✝️. 

So, today Lord✝️,

as patience continues to have 

its perfect work

may Your✝️ Will be done

through this my prayer

In Jesus Christ✝️ name 

I pray and give thanks

Amen. 

As I pray today 

in the name of Jesus Christ✝️ 

👍🏾our⚖️ Only ✝️ Way

may You✝️ continue 

to teach 👍🏾us⚖️

what Ephesians says,

about walk in love…

Since You told 👍🏾us⚖️ good gifts 

Come from above 👍🏾us⚖️

Help us understand 

🎶How Jesus Christ also loved us🎶.

So circumspect walks

answer questions

to Crowder songs,

Hillsongs,

Systematic plans 

of development designed

to teach 👍🏾us⚖️ 

what’s right, what’s wrong 

Helping 👍🏾us⚖️ when weak

to 👍🏾be strong and excellent 

⚖️ virtuous and elegant 

as 👍🏾we⚖️ walk 

in what You✝️ taught

against the sin fought

In 👍🏾our⚖️ own life,

as we study this Psalm

Should 👍🏾we⚖️ just 

be entertained?

Should 👍🏾we⚖️ be edified?

Are You✝️ glorified?

God, I got questions

Only you can answer,

Because David’s Psalms 

weren’t enough, 

I’m not Hebrew,

and our flesh dwelling 

among us is tricky!

Questions like,

In this day of You✝️ 

being physically gone yet

sitting on Throne✝️

with a completed assignment

Where does music fit?

How do we express Your✝️ majesty?

In Your✝️ Word,

how should we describe Your✝️ passion?

If we just can’t sin, how should we

speak through these and Your✝️ Psalms

to perform Your✝️ perfect work?

In patience I wait for these questions. 

These Lord✝️ are Psalms, 

hymns, and spiritual songs 

performing their perfect work unto salvation. 

A demonstration of preaching the gospel,

A living word full of ✝️ Truth necessary

to keep leaves from withering,

meant actually for 👍🏾us⚖️ to prosper.

So, what do we do with this 🙏🏾 prayer?

Because, again 

I’m not David,

nor am I Hebrew,

yet the tension from this attention 

makes me wonder if we knew 

for ourselves 

what’s actually ✝️ in my 👍🏾heart. 

God✝️ as I walked 

towards the evening of this day

with these real questions 

faced by me👍🏾

I’m reminded in my 👍🏾 movement

of the meaning of unconditional love

that was never called

to stand still.

Even more real 

is my need for obedience

Knowing that the worse thing 

to do at this point is stop,

despite my need for guidance

and direction amongst the unfamiliar. 

Lord✝️ music for this reason

Is only meant 

to keep my mind stayed on You✝️

and distract me from critics who

hide behind the unknown.  

So if she ⚖️ feels the same way, 

maybe not right now 

but in another day,

help 👍🏾us⚖️ to know what songs to play

in times when our average 

leaves us with nothing to say

or a timely display of prayer 

whenever we pray,

under this simple question.

“What’s her ⚖️ favorite song?”

This Lord, 

I ask in Jesus Christ✝️ name

and give thanks

as you Breathe on this prayer 

unto restoration.

That place where 

Your will is. 

Amen. 

As I pray today 

in the name of Jesus Christ✝️ 

👍🏾our⚖️ Only ✝️ Way

may You✝️ continue 

to teach 👍🏾us⚖️

“To know”

what’s in 👍🏾our⚖️ heart,

Whats to be finished

What needs to start

What should be taught 

towards understand 👍🏾our⚖️ worlds.

Help 👍🏾us⚖️ recognize

the individual

To aesthetically appreciate

Our residual of unseen work

Based on 

where we’ve healed,

what sin we’ve kill

In in due time

where we’re hurting,

As cause for what were asserting 

As understanding that 

in some areas 

👍🏾we’ve⚖️ been made whole.

However, where we’re hiding

Is what takes 👍🏾us⚖️ being bold 

And I pray I can help

I pray she can help

Because Philippians 

reminds 👍🏾us⚖️

Of the same rule

Ephesians reminds me👍🏾 

more importantly

“Don’t be a fool” (lol)

So this prayer 

is meant to be circumspectly crafted, 

So that in due time

It can be properly 

engrafted in 👍🏾our⛪️ hearts

As the finish from what 👍🏾we’ve⛪️ start 

And at that point 

May Paul’s epistle to Your✝️ church

Familiar to 👍🏾us⚖️, 

cause 👍🏾us⚖️ to count lost 

what this cost 

Unto hope and an ever-enduring 

glory as a moral to a joint ⛪️ story

That You✝️ God✝️are still Faithful!

Something 👍🏾we⚖️ can all pray,

in Jesus Christ✝️ name 

for Your✝️ excellency

known to 👍🏾us⚖️

as we press.

Reach.

Stretch.

Without pretending

in our apprehending

of something more glorious

Virtuous

Elegant 

As that good memory

“Harbored” between 👍🏾us⚖️

Then Lord✝️ as you Will it 

We can then say 

With our beginning confidence

You’ve already arrived,

In a place among 👍🏾us⚖️ 

without 👍🏾us⚖️ 

refusing to remain. 

As we continue Your✝️ work

To attain, I pray this prayer

In that name of Your✝️ 

Precious son Jesus Christ✝️

As we pray

And give thanks 

Amen

As I pray today 

in the name of Jesus Christ✝️ 

👍🏾our⚖️ Only ✝️ Way

may You✝️ continue 

to teach 👍🏾us⚖️

to restore 

the condition 👍🏾our⚖️ heart

for a beginning confidence 

that was once 

known from the start as

Yes Lord✝️.

Something believed in 👍🏾our⚖️ heart

motivated by Your✝️ Love✝️

to heal what hurts,

to satisfy our hunger

and quench our thirst

spiritually through righteousness

Lived, seen, and proclaimed. 

That beginning work 

Meant to clean up 👍🏾our⚖️ mess

and end the distress

of sin sick souls

through Stripes✝️ that heal,

Scriptures that deal

with broken areas

Through ministry 

meant to repair

the undetectable 

stress fractures,

or the hearts grossly shattered

Leaving unintentional wounds

Neglected though

Each day I’m reminded of You✝️.

Which brings attention 

to the tension 

of a rebuild.

Those long processes 

where something in us 

becames tired

yet wired by hope

and the efforts 

from a willing mind 

Begin to leave behind doubt 

Leave behind assumptions

and judgement or

ungodly functions that don’t edify,

or thought patterns 

generally designed to

Steal

Kill

and destroy. 

God✝️ these - are - hurts

and I see it just as important 

To talk to you,

 for You✝️ guidance

Especially today,

because we need

wisdom that will cause us to trust

“As mentioned before”

Without tension, 

Yet holding Your✝️ hand

In hope. The Only ✝️ One

👍🏾we⚖️ really know.

So as I pray everyday

for“something ⚖️👍🏾 better”,

I pray 

where there has been drift

you may return 👍🏾us⚖️.

to the ✝️place⛪️

where truth mattered

more than pride,

Where transparency thrived

among 👍🏾us⚖️.

Hence the reason for “questions”,

because as I have learned 

my lessons,

it’s only right for me to give answers,

so prayer can matter among 👍🏾us⚖️

more than opinion,

more than appearances,

more than mental knowledge 

Of spiritual things 

or legalistic adherences 

to scripture.

Because ultimately ⚖️we👍🏾

were never called 

to be stagnant,

because with all these talks🙏🏾

between ✝️us👍🏾

about ⚖️us👍🏾

with no response 🙏🏾 seemingly

I still need to make sure 

she ⚖️ agrees

with 👍🏾this⚖️ hope. 

So Lord✝️ tonight,

this is my heart condition

as I pray this prayer

 not just for me but for 

⚖️ her with care,

In the name of Your precious Son✝️

Jesus Christ✝️, as I give thanks. 

Amen. 

As I pray today 

in the name of Jesus Christ✝️ 

👍🏾our⚖️ Only ✝️ Way

may You✝️ continue 

to teach 👍🏾us⚖️

to restore 

the condition 👍🏾our⚖️ heart

For the mark ahead.

because the dark ahead

needs our light

To set the contrast 

for God✝️ and His ⚖️chosen👍🏾

so this world can see with certainty

black versus white

with a single eyes focus

versus double eyed weeping 

that endures for the night

of next days double eyed weeping 

enduring for the night

that leaves one blind and enduring 

without sight 

as a vicious process

and hot mess broadcasted among us 

while able to say less!

Nevertheless,

To this Lord✝️ protect us from 

this dis-stress through reminders

for us of a life more abundantly 

calling ahead of us 

as higher and most ✝️ Precious 

to this world of your doctrine delivered 

👍🏾us⚖️. 

that preaches among 👍🏾us⚖️

Nevertheless! 

Still Christ✝️ ahead!

Forgetting those things

which are behind,

as we reach,

we press,

and move.

ever forward

into purpose!

As Your✝️ Word reminds 👍🏾me

to be carnally minded

is death,

but to be spiritually minded

is life…

and peace that protects us

So give us 

knowledge, Lord✝️.

Not knowledge

that causes arrogance,

but knowledge

that makes 👍🏾us⚖️ 

aware Of Your✝️ Care

and helps ⚖️ know

what is in my 👍🏾 heart.

Then give ⚖️ discernment

to understand

the world around that heart.

Because two people

can hear the same words

and carry them

into two completely

different worlds.

And ✝️ Love…

has to care enough

to learn the  difference.

⚖️…

So this is partly

a prayer,

and partly

a question.

What shaped our world?

What makes you laugh?

What makes you quiet?

What or who taught you

to protect certain places?

What brings comfort?

What creates concern?

When ministry is needed,

do I know enough

to recognize the need?

When comfort is needed,

will I know

how you receive comfort?

When a problem arrives,

will I rush

to solve it…?!

or have I learned

your world well enough

to know whether

you need an answer,

a prayer,

a hand,

a promise,

or simply somebody

to sit there? Silent!

Father✝️ in Heaven,

May This✝️ Love

that’s questionable

and offered us

that much more 

effective this day 

forward, as I pray 

in Jesus Christ✝️ name 

the one who 

taught us how to pray

Amen. 

As I pray today 

in the name of Jesus Christ✝️ 

👍🏾our⚖️ Only ✝️ Way

may You✝️ continue 

to teach 👍🏾us⚖️

of another world.

A world

down South.

A Sunday morning.

A breakfast table.

Where generations sit close 

enough to pass the plate,

but carry enough history

to fill the house.

how that table,

this generation

met to understand.

“fertilizer”

and soil 

telling stories.

About what was planted,

what was watered,

what survived,

and what still needs

to grow.

Stories of

“My continual respect for Barbers”

because sometimes

a chair becomes a classroom,

and conversations

becomes community,

and somebody learns

that listening well

can cut through more

than hair.

Stories of“The youth”

causing somebody

to remember

that tomorrow

is already sitting

at today’s table.

Waiting for someone to

“Bring it in -for a hug”

because of times

where reconciliation

doesn’t begin

with explanation.

Instead arms say

what pride

couldn’t pronounce.

in “Good Faith”,

because trust

isn’t built overnight,

but “brick by brick,”

choice by choice,

truth by truth,

until “character”

gives belief

some proof.

of who our Lord✝️ is

in settings like,

“Church School”

where Scripture

wasn’t just another lesson,

just another “prayer”

but seeds—

planted in generations

who may not have understood

every verse then,

but lived long enough

to discover

why somebody taught it.

Then from it we get 

Relevance of revelation 

from parables like

the lost “Coin”

to cause us to value

and always require us

to decide

what “something”

is worth.

Like a “grandfathers”

wisdom causing us

to became grown,

in a place

somebody else

was already standing,

already working,

already praying,

already leaving footsteps

we would one day

recognize as roads.

So as I pray

I thank you Father 

For these words to say

over days, over month, 

and years In a sanctuary 

as music’s way 

of reminding me How I 

“Never had a problem 

hearing a guitar play

or being told to pray”

because somewhere

between melody

and ministry,

sound became memory,

and memory

kept pointing

back toward You✝️

even while

“Cleaning the church”

because service

doesn’t always need

a microphone.

Sometimes worship

has a broom.

Ministry has a mop,

and love says,

Nobody has to see me—

this is still

the Lord’s house.

Where we say, 

somebody…

“prayed 🫱🏿‍🫲🏾with him”

because faith

was never supposed

to be carried alone.

Hand beside hand.

Heart beside heart.

Brother beside brother,

As prayer becomes a bridge

where distance

once lived.

and“Silver”

Gets its true value

because time

has a way

of showing us

what shines

and what merely glittered.

So Lord as we consider

the importance of worship

and significance of 

“Standing up for the choir 

so we could sing”

May love

not just sing a song.

may help us know 

when we actually are right 

Even if we discover we’re wrong

or Love protects

the opportunity

for somebody else

to have a voice.

⸻

And then Lord✝️

As I am reminded of what

southern respect 

and dignity means

May Numbers,

Years, and Distance

Nevertheless lead to Growth.

As a reminder

that somewhere between

where we started

and where we stand,

life doubled the lessons

As You✝️ 

kept writing the story.

At the breakfast table

a place that 

was never

just a breakfast.

But the conversations

fed understanding.

as generations

weren’t just remembered.

But it became a place 

Where dreams and visions 

of each other’s worlds

were shared and learned

As part of a family bond

So Lord if we ever “wondered”

why I listened,

why I remembered,

why those words

still matter—

it’s because

I care 

about a lot

➡️⛪️⚖️

Not just ceremonially.

Not occasionally.

Not because family

is simply something

I’m supposed to say matters.

But because understanding

where we came from

helps me understand

who sits

at the table today.

through all of it,

summing this prayer up 

In one sentence:

“The best thing I could do was…

Obey.”

When I understood,

when I didn’t

or when obedience felt simple—

or when obedience cost something—

So as I say Amen, Lord

I pray we are all ⛪️ reminded 

the shortest road

back to a healthy heart

isn’t another explanation.

It’s obedience

“Your✝️ plan to fix 

every area in our life.”

This is my prayer 

In Jesus Christ✝️ name

I pray as I give thanks

Amen. 

As I pray today 

in the name of Jesus Christ✝️ 

👍🏾our⚖️ Only ✝️ Way

may You✝️ continue 

to teach 👍🏾us⚖️

as you restore 

our heart condition,

through how we think.

God✝️ as you teach us,

whatsoever is true.

We’ve been taught truth

are not meant assumptions,

Yet unctions of the Holy ✝️ One 

Dwelling on the inside

Let us know 

Truth as honest.

Since lies 

separate me from 

something ⚖️ as opportune 

as justice ⚖️ 

for a ✝️Love so Historic

I can’t bear the anxiety,

Even with the 

potential of responsibility 

I think of my society⛪️

Lord✝️! 

Just, Whatsoever we do 

Help me to Love✝️,

Because I see it like Golgotha.

A love of a hate for sin 

So pure I risk righteousness 

from such a prayer 

Even with knowing I live here.

The truth is known I leave there, 

God✝️’s Love!

North Carolina, God✝️ 

I left God✝️’s Love

since you so Loved✝️ Us

To give a world 

Whatsoever is lovely.

as a good report to 

to humanity 

that there is hope. 

Hence the message of virtue,

Preached as a message of praise,

to teach our minds

Of your unconditional Ways

vast and lofty.

Let the truth be told Lord

As an obvious 

To stay there

is death ⛪️

Though effective communication

Is necessary 

But cannot survive

since imagination

Leads to frustration 

even if rewriting

what truth already said,

Because in Christ✝️ stead

I must pray this,

History is very important!

So since 👍🏾we⚖️ got it,

It’s my prayer for 👍🏾us⚖️

without “fuss”

That you help 👍🏾us⚖️ from this point

To maximize and strengthen 

what we have as “one” ⛪️

The ministry of Your✝️ Son

who ever remembers Your✝️ Law⚖️

to Keep Your✝️ commandment!

Since length of days, and long life 

Brings peace and adds to the blessing 

Of The Parent!⛪️

I pray Father✝️ that 

mercy and truth will indeed

forsake 👍🏾we⚖️

Bind them about my neck!

Scribble them in the tables of my heart

to the end that this child 

Finds favour 

and good understanding 

in the sight of your ⛪️people⚖️

Because since I trust You✝️

I can’t do anything from this point

but what I’m taught

Because you Found 

this wretched man in such

A state that the strength of the rhema

has force my residency

To shift 

To Maryland for “this world”

This is the prayer of Your✝️ son

In Jesus Christ✝️ holy name 

I pray as I “simply”

give “thanks”

Amen! 

As I pray today 

in the name of Jesus Christ✝️ 

👍🏾our⚖️ Only ✝️ Way

may You✝️ continue 

to teach 👍🏾us⚖️

as you restore 

👍🏾our⚖️ heart condition,

to keep us in Truth✝️

written in a way we Can’t write it.

So, when emotions rise

in a way we seemingly can’t fight it

may Biblical Truth 

become 👍🏾our⚖️ anchor

Through memories of 

Your✝️ Galatian goodness 

to protect 👍🏾us⚖️ 

From here Lord✝️,

let 👍🏾our⚖️ commitment 

to You✝️ become a character styled 

after Ruth’s work and Your✝️ Living Water

that prevents 👍🏾our⚖️ thirst for 

pillars of salt through 

a mis-understanding

of agreement with Biblical - Truth.

To this God✝️, as I 👍🏾 lead

👍🏾we⚖️ will need You✝️ 

continually to work on,

to maintain, to fix, repair, 

and restore the condition 

of our hearts and minds

in the context of this prayer,

on this side singly in consideration 

of what prayerfully could be 

and that hopeful side of the Jordan

where Joshua dwells in the gap between

Christ✝️like fellowship 

and complications of the human element

Hence, our Only✝️ Truth 

taught to 👍🏾us⚖️

becomes essential. 

That said, help 👍🏾us⚖️ Lord✝️

When the court of Law ⚖️

in 👍🏾our⚖️ worlds

don’t immediately make sense

to those 👍🏾we⚖️ know or don’t know.

👍🏾We⚖️ will need Your✝️ sound doctrine 

and theology delivered each other

Even now as sister⚖️ and brother👍🏾

On days when a song just won’t do

We must study to show You✝️ 

to each other as approved 

in Your✝️ knowledge of

how to think 

on Your✝️ Love Enough

to ask for Enough patience

to listen,

simply from a look, 

a stare,

a frown,

a smile,

or tear in the eye

to know 👍🏾our⚖️ care

as enough discernment

that’s intimately “divini-tive”

to us as 

Your✝️ Knowledge of humility,

Your✝️ test of study 

from Ephesians 5 or 1Peter 3

in 👍🏾our⚖️ dividing asunder 

of the soul and spirit

Between one another,

out of 👍🏾our⚖️ shared understanding 

that You✝️ Lord✝️ 

first Found 👍🏾us⚖️ 

by Your ✝️ Spirit

for Your✝️ purpose, 

before the womb. 

Even the more important 

is the need for 👍🏾us⚖️ still

to literally get to know each other.

So 👍🏾our⚖️ earnest prayer

MUST - be - for 👍🏾us⚖️ 

to continue 

and identify others along the way

to help 👍🏾us⚖️

steward over the responsibility 

of one another according 

to Your✝️ Sovereign ✝️ Will

to remain in Truth,

Just - like, - Ruth!

Faithfully!

Lord✝️,

this is 👍🏾our⚖️ prayer 

In Jesus Christ✝️ name,

the One✝️ who 

taught 👍🏾us⚖️ 

how to pray,

and give thanks.

Amen. 

As I pray today 

in the name of Jesus Christ✝️ 

👍🏾our⚖️ Only ✝️ Way

may You✝️ continue 

to teach 👍🏾us⚖️

as you restore 

👍🏾our⚖️ heart condition,

may You✝️ make 

👍🏾our⚖️ knowledge 

of Your✝️ Love useful

without intrusion

of this world’s system

This world’s reasoning

Yet ever 👍🏾us⚖️ seasoning

The foundation of this world

with salt.

Something useful to 👍🏾us⚖️ that 

adds flavor to a ⚖️ life

versus the controlling 

manipulation of strife 

that leaves 👍🏾us⚖️ 

apprehensive, 

confused, used, 

and in a constant

state of wanting 

God✝️, this is 

no good to us!

👍🏾We⚖️ - need - comfort!

Comfort

without assuming

what it is 

to have wisdom

from understood knowledge 

in 👍🏾our⚖️ discerning.

Wisdom that defeats 

The yearning 

thirst of sin within

God✝️ as your vessels

may Your✝️ grace

open 👍🏾our⚖️ hearts

to such learning

that prepares 👍🏾us⚖️ 

and keeps 👍🏾us⚖️ 

from being reactive.

Prepared,

the way you cared 

for disciples

that didn’t understand 

an example 

that would nurture the world

just as much as their spirit

through a ✝️Love

Unconditional 

That forsakes the cross

for a greater

more enduring “reward”

eternal ⚖️ life!

This understanding 

I carry Lord✝️,

that if ⚖️ her world

ever needs ministry,

“👍🏾I must care🙏🏾

enough to understand

before👍🏾 I speak.”

Hence the word,

Meek!

So, if ⚖️ her heart

ever needs comfort,

I have listened enough

to recognize

how to care

for someone 

that barely knows me. 

A definition of ministry!

Plus the likewise Lord✝️,

this becomes if there is

a problem to solve,

Your✝️ wisdom 

is given ground to determine

whether 👍🏾we⚖️ should fix,

assist,

pray,

wait,

or simply

stay!

Just so ⚖️she has time 

To spiritually feel Your✝️

Ever enduring ✝️Love

In a way that could never 

come from me,

Yet, only 

revealed to her, scripturally.

Meanwhile eradicating 

the excuse of intimacy

unlearned and inaccurately 

Portrayed by man

from this man👍🏾

because that man👴🏾

has a ⚖️daughter

Who requires wisdom 

And prayer from someone 

who understands 

Your✝️ Son✝️,

stewardship of ⚖️life,

and a biblical distance 

that provides knowledge of ⚖️ one

to ultimately to bring 👍🏾us⚖️ closer.

Lord✝️ this is my prayer

in Jesus Christ✝️ name

I pray and give thanks

Amen.

As I pray today 

in the name of Jesus Christ✝️ 

👍🏾our⚖️ Only ✝️ Way

may You✝️ continue 

to teach 👍🏾us⚖️

about our worlds.

In a way that allows ⚖️us👍🏾

To freely love humanity

In a way that is close and intimate

According to the knowledge of Your✝️ Son✝️

The one who is not far near,

Yet near and dear to us

With the letter to our heart

written with the ink 

of Your ✝️ Love

Unconditional 

so that Your✝️ Truth remains 

Meanwhile, as we read only

through eyes spiritually discerning 

We’re learning who our Savior✝️

actually is 

what He✝️ saved

and how He✝️ saved

As we read to us:

You walked our roads.

You felt our grief.

You heard our cries.

You carried our sin.

And You showed us

that God’s Love

doesn’t merely say,

I care.

God’s Love

comes close enough

for care

to become clear, 

as message to us

that “I’m here”

Written at your table

In a way only

for you to understand

this my daughter

this my son

This man

This woman

Are stewarded

By my Spirit

And according to 

the words of my Son

The only one who gets to me

Who gets to be exalted?

So Lord✝️,

as these words 

are seasoned and salted

May we ever endeavour

to know through our acquaintance

that you are always good

and ultimately, 

Your✝️ Will is being done

That said, help ⚖️us👍🏾

walk as children of light.

unto sight of something better 

for our life

as we redeem the time

Work Your Will.

And live your truth in a way

That’s authentic and unapologetic

So that Our light shines

“😏glows even” as a city 

Set - on - a hill

In Jesus Christ✝️ name
I pray and give thanks

Amen. 

As I pray today 

in the name of Jesus Christ✝️ 

👍🏾our⚖️ Only ✝️ Way

may You✝️ continue 

to teach 👍🏾us⚖️

what it means

to submit ourselves

to You✝️.

Teach to our hearts.

What makes for good ground 

So when the mouth speaks 

The truth of your word

Shows that abundance 

of goodness and righteousness

As we sing with melody of heart

A psalm that teach our families

of your heritage to us,

Jesus Christ✝️ our hope,

and ✝️Love as an enjoyment of a lifestyle

and something worth while

that commands our attention 

yet eases tension 

to comfort this same heart 

read of, preached about to us,

and melodically received 

as a reminder of something kinder 

to latch on to in the tough times.

For children, nursery rhymes 

of hymnals to the Savior

🎶Jesus✝️ Loves me this I know🎶

🎶For the Bible tells me so🎶

and as they grow they come to know

Jesus✝️ as a wonderful child,

that’s Holy, meek, and mild

sharing life, and hope 

To friends who share with us 

The song of angels

Singing of His✝️ glory

Then suddenly Christmas

comes to mean more to the teen

or the young adult 

learning of Titus 2 light 

and Matthew’s Salt

concerning one another.

So Lord, as we continue 

Learning of our worlds.

May everything we learn…

keep us pressing

toward Jesus Christ

without impressing,

yet addressing 

what it takes for us 

to Heal,

Repair,

Rebuild,

Renew,

and Return us 

to a sense of “trust”

between 

“each and every one of us”

(to be continued)

in Jesus Christ✝️ name

as I pray and give thanks. 

Amen. 

As I pray today 

in the name of Jesus Christ✝️ 

👍🏾our⚖️ Only ✝️ Way

may You✝️ continue 

to teach 👍🏾us⚖️

what it means

to walk each day 

In a way circumspect

that meets the need

of ➡️someone⚖️ with concerns

about what success will be 

or what right looks like 

in a ministry only known 

to those acquainted 

with a more excellent way

So Lord✝️

as 👍🏾we⚖️ seek You✝️ 

in 👍🏾our⚖️ yesterdays

for this day 

may you help 👍🏾us⚖️

understand the potential of forever

with a heart, mind,

and ear to hear

unrushed by noise

undistracted by boys

nor drawn away by girls

May we continue reach

each day each other 

with a mindset locked in

by a bloodline✝️ 

Sacred to our families 

Established by the individual work

done daily in 👍🏾us⚖️

So when we finally 

talk again the term friend

can be seen out of the lens

of partnership

versus just fellowship

God✝️ the word ship

sticks out 

I don’t want

👍🏾USS⚖️ to sink

I need 👍🏾USS⚖️ to trust again,

because lust again in this 

partnership doesn’t exist

outside of Your✝️ Word.

This is - an evaluation! 

A situation to determine 

What’s in the heart of 👍🏾us⚖️,

where do we start with 👍🏾us⚖️,

plus concerning 

strengths, weaknesses,

and problems 

how can 👍🏾we⚖️ 

best help 👍🏾us⚖️

continue?!

Lord for us in this prayer to

To listen again.

is to pray again.

and say again 

This IS - an evaluation! 

A situation to determine 

What’s in the heart of 👍🏾us⚖️,

as we start with 👍🏾us⚖️,

plus concerning 

strengths, weaknesses,

and problems answering 

how can 👍🏾we⚖️ 

best help 👍🏾us⚖️

continue understand again.

7 spiritual traits essentially 

rooted and required 

for 👍🏾us⚖️ to ✝️Love again,

but this time,

more effectively

unto a heart condition

that reflects

your✝️ heart condition

towards a fellowship

that reflects

Your Love to 👍🏾us⚖️.

God✝️, how do we get to you?!!!!

In 👍🏾our⚖️ communication

what must remain 

according to ✝️Truth.

so the family member

at the breakfast table

can know

I heard you,

I remember,

and I care.

So, she ⚖️ knows

best through me

how to follow what You✝️ say

and how to never be led astray.

Yes! Lord✝️ “that’s a heavy,”

but I trust you,

and I need to ensure ⚖️she does

the same way too,

as “we learn the worlds”

of each other 

from which you say it is

concerning 👍🏾us⚖️

And until ⚖️we👍🏾

can look at one another

and recognize

that somewhere

between understanding 👍🏾our⚖️ worlds

and surrendering 👍🏾our⚖️ hearts,

Jesus Christ✝️ was teaching 👍🏾us⚖️

how to love what we ✝️ trust

effectively,

faithfully,

truthfully, 

and prayerfully Your’s✝️ on this night. 

In Jesus Christ✝️ name

I pray and give thanks

Amen. 

As I pray today 

in the name of Jesus Christ✝️ 

👍🏾our⚖️ Only ✝️ Way,

May 👍🏾we⚖️ continue 

to learn what it means to

restore our heart condition.

And when You✝️ restore it…

teach 👍🏾us⚖️ how to use it

for good that only comes from You✝️

Meanwhile, reminding 👍🏾us⚖️

that no shadow of turning 

as You✝️ know it leads to trust,

Love✝️ leads Your✝️ glory,

and glory realized 

causes the need for commitment 

that writes another story.

Telling us of God✝️ Love

for this ⚖️ world and how He✝️ gave 

⚖️us👍🏾 His✝️ only begotten 

Son✝️ as an offering;

a sacrifice to God 

for a sweet-smelling savor.

Thank you Lord✝️ 

for Your✝️ Love!

I think of this worship

Through an opportunity 

to Love✝️ as Your✝️ Son

to this ⚖️ world, 

and everyone contained in it,

and really, how 👍🏾we⚖️ get to be 

an unconditional example

of a yoke that’s easy, 

and a light burden,

that yes might burden 

the 🌎 world, 

but for this ⚖️ world 

in the kingdom 

THE ✝️ Truth remains.

I get to care for her

and her to me

as we continue to see 

where you are lacking in our lives 

through 👍🏾us⚖️.

Hence, the constant mention of “trust”,

Because tension is real,

Yet before the ✝️Foundation 

of 👍🏾our⚖️ world ⛪️

You✝️ knew 👍🏾us⚖️.

Every worry,

every concern,

every tear,

every interaction 

every acquaintance in our sphere 

influencing us to righteousness 

or those unto sin

in…

Thank you Lord✝️

for this body⛪️

👍🏾we⚖️ get to care for it,

as instruments of righteousness,

there for it ⛪️ to heal 👍🏾our⚖️ hurts

as a likewise kindness

Unto ministry realized

when 👍🏾two truths⚖️ are allowed to 

come 👫🏾 together

to reveal to us⛪️ 

Your✝️ Great ✝️ mystery!

Hence 👍🏾our⚖️ ✝️history⛪️

Teaching us to trust You✝️,

Trust leadership,

And together 👍🏾our⚖️ trust 

adds a blessing to this ⚖️ church⛪️

Lord✝️!

Something else to be thankful for 

is the direction ➡️ given to 

this ⚖️ world’s growth

which leads to the knowledge 

wisdom, and required amount of strength 

she needs for this life✝️

strength to continue to

learn of each other, 

and learn

of her “first” glance

at Red ✝️ Saturdays

like the one before 👍🏾us⚖️ currently.

Where wisdom, knowledge, and understanding 

of what we’re actually “given in this life”

is scheduled, 

for 1 PM’s dream of a complete project

put on display of something taught 

as exhibit A

that actually leads to a greater hope,

a more excellent way,

and a good life overall 

growing inside of 👍🏾us⚖️

with each day that passes. 

God✝️ this is ⚖️hope

I’m praying about

for someone⚖️ to realize

with real eyes for ⚖️ herself!

So, to this prayer Lord✝️

it’s my hope that ⚖️ she studies

and continues to pray.

Even the more here 

may ⚖️ she read 

and study ✝️closer 

to actually understand 

What I say as I pray

as 2nd Timothy’s 

sound doctrine inspired 

and approving 👍🏾us⚖️ 

jointly of a greater trust in me

as someone that’s actually willing

to lay down my life for a friend.

To this Lord✝️, help ⚖️ her 

read and study again!

This and to the end 

That can see Richmond 

as “You✝️” saw it!

During my service

and according to 

“the direction ➡️ of each sermon 

preached” with an undivided attention. 

So that as Your✝️ will

is performed in 👍🏾our⚖️ life

the well done can also lead 

to a shared praise among 👍🏾us⚖️

unto restoration of the heart

for self and others. 

This is 👍🏾our⚖️ prayer

In the name of our Lord

and Savior, Jesus Christ✝️.

The Only ✝️ One that teaches 

👍🏾us⚖️ how to pray. 

Amen.

This poem doesn't sing

It ministers 

Now I know what you're thinking

What can that do for me

Well it can do a lot 

For those who need it 

This will intercede it 

Will cause your heart if done right to say 

What must I do to be saved

With this poem I will call out slaves to freedom 

And all I did really the whole time was say 

Yes Lord to your will 

Your way 

And by the same your heart stirred

If bad enough your heart is disturbed

And I have called out what needed to be

With no music no gimmick

This poem doesn't sing 

It comforts 

It says don't cry

It's says dry your tears wipe your eye

It's a hug with words that soothes the heart 

If only with just that one line used 

Its long enough and strong enough 

To embrace, console, and get the attention 

Of its readers or it listeners

With just 

maybe just a little rhyme and 

A little word play

To entertain so 

You can maintain if only for a moment

This poem doesn't sing

It teaches

The crooked way is made straight and narrow

Without singing his eye is on the sparrow

Now don't get me wrong 

Songs are a blessing from God

But I give message of a different avenue of approach 

Approved by God without reproach

This being the lesson 

bring your measure to glorify God please 

He needs it 

Listen

Our world is dying 

So he needs the  mighty sons of God

To come boldly before his throne 

To revive his church for the good of this world

Against the God of this world

We rebuke him with this poem

So Yes again 

This poem doesn't sing

It's measure to Gods worship

It's a sounding board to how we feel about The Lord 

Listen to its words to remain on one accord

Last stanza before about the world says it all

Listen to these sounds of worship

With no ad lib 

No high hat 

No piano key 

No trumpet 

No Sax

This is a poem that won't sing 

But praise 

For all you've done for me 

Jesus receive this I pray 

This day that you be exalted 

And our hearts be moved

That yokes be broken 

and burdens be removed

This day I pray in Christ name

For those of you listening 

I hope you feel the same

I pray you walk worthy and stand firm without shame 

I bring you this poem out of love 

Without gain

Forget fame 

For its vain under the sun

So this poem doesn't sing 

It simply speaks to those who listens 

to let them know the fathers heart 

In their own capacity

It's meaning is up to you 

Or rather the one who

Yeah

Take your own words for it

Calling all poets calling all poets 

God needs a word from you 

No songs 

But writings with meaning 

Feelings about your fathers heart 

Think about that 

We are created in his image

So he gave us hearts to do his will

But yet still songs are sung 

With no meaning or feeling 

but with ability and no humility

So once again this my most humble plea

Calling all poets

God needs a word with you 

As his writer

To say this is the way 

And my truth 

As a light

To come to the father 

Not by me but by him that 

Sustains me 

Maintains me and rearranged me

So no this is not a song

But rather this is the rhythm of righteousness

That we are charged with to commit 

Orchestrated by the most high

My God my savior

Your prisoner your slave 

Held captivated

Giving me your words 

To praise you with

Thank you!

Selah

No song 

But exhortation 

Life 

A walk

A run 

A race at your pace

A taste 

Of your glory

Let me reword that 

A state 

A place

A position in your kingdom

Upheld by righteousness

Your spirit

Your son

This is my poem

To you

I saw this on YouTube today. It reminded me of what our founder mentioned about (and I paraphrase) the work of God✝️ consuming our life. This only happens when we let him, or better put “relinquishing our right to choose another option”
