Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "My Personal Journey With Jesus Revealed Through Poetry" includes my personal testimony along with poems I have written since 1999. My personal testimony is about how Jesus walked with me and carried me through the trials and tribulations of the past seventeen years. This includes my salvation experience, my personal encounters with Satan, my time spent in mental hospitals, two times when I could have died, the loss of family and friends, and also how God provided me with a new Christian family and friends who are helping me rebuild my life and showing me how to minister to others. The three sections of poems include personal journey poems, praise and worship poems, and poems about the end times. The reason I am telling my story and being so open and honest is because I want you to know that Jesus is real and that He will save you and walk with you for eternity if you only open up your heart to Him. My name is Brian Whitacre. I was born in 1973. As a child I enjoyed school and played sports, however I didn't know Jesus. My spiritual journey started in 1993. At the age of twenty I began attending a Pentecostal Church where I was drawn to Jesus by the power of love. On April 24, 1994, I got saved as God spoke these words to me "are you willing to give up your secular music for me?" I said yes and God also delivered me from my bad temper and cursing. However, right after I got saved, I came face to face with Satan. This encounter changed the course of my life forever. Because of this encounter I ended up in a maximum security mental hospital in Dayton, Ohio. Since 1994 I have spent many long hours in mental hospitals where Jesus proved He would never leave me.

Download or read book A Journey with Jesus written by Rosemary Bailey Short and published by Author House. This book was released on 2012-11-09 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Journey with Jesus is a collection of poems inspired by God for the journey to know Him more. It was April 1972, two weeks before Easter that my father died. My world crumbled..I knew there had to be a deeper faith. My journey began as I intentionally sought to know Him through Bible study and in reading His Word. The following Easter, I realized with deeper understanding, that Jesus death was Gods unmerited gift to me. I understood the paradox of death.. A terrible loss but also, a gift. The death of Jesus brought the gift of eternal life; my dads death led me on a journey to understand the magnitude of Gods great gift. My journey with Jesus began in 1972 and continues today. I believe that as you read these poems in your own quiet time, you too, can hear the voice of the Good Shepherd and become that little lamb who loves the shepherd.

Download or read book A Journey written by Lakonya D. Parson and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2020-01-30 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Journey is a collection of poetry that shows God’s love through glimpses into some of the different levels and experiences of a Christian walk. This work explores how God’s love permeates the walk even through highs and lows, through pitfalls, stumbling blocks and over mountains that seem insurmountable while on the journey. At times there are extreme highs on a journey that enable you to soar. The highs of the journey make you want to surrender and glide on the crests of the highs. Sometimes there are twists and turns and lows that make you wonder, “How did I get here?” or “How did this happen?” The key points in getting through to the other side on your journey are knowledge of God’s love, being able to worship in the midst of situations, and knowing that God has provided a way of escape, a Guide, a Comforter, power, strength, fortitude, grace, mercy and a means to sustain you as you travel on your own personal journey.

As He reveals where you are, what you already have in Him, why He has hidden it from you in the past, and how it affects you now, the substance of your identity will become authenticated. This discovery releases the fullness of joy and the presence of peace you have been looking for. Rivers of living water, divine potential, fullness unlocked, and life abundant is revealed inside the seed of God. He is your breath, He is your life, He is your strength, and He is your Source! We are created in the substance of His Image and the likeness of His form; Christ in you the hope of glory. The Joy of Christ Can you smell the fragrance in your nose? Can you feel the wind as the Spirit flows? Rejoicing with each other in a praise-filled song, As we walk together in this journey we are on. Far more sweet than the sweetest rose, That is the joy of Christ upon your clothes. The light of His pure truth shining in the dark Makes the brightest light of hope from a tiny spark. Creation on your lips and life flowing from your heart, Playing out this dream of His which He had from the start. What garden do you see, my friend, one thats parched and bare? Or will you awaken to the Spirit and find it laden there? Healing in your wings and prayers upon your lips; A fragrant oil rises and from your body drips. Your face is lit with fire; your robes are white as snow. The mindset of the Son is what youll come to know.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reveals that my life has been full of hopes and inspiration. As a young writer in my high school and college years, looking for a love relationship brought joy. This joy and experience in new relationships brought hope to my expectation. The physical and personal evidence of being loved made me sure that my wishes were in my control. My most permanent relationships, such as with my parents and my children, brought to me security and peace. Yet, as an adult, my experience in love relationships did not always bring serenity. Not all experiences were lasting, causing me to feel like shattered glass. But through the acceptance of Salvation in Christ Jesus, and applying His Word to my actions, charged my life with His spiritual power, I find that because of my faith in Christ Jesus, my life has changed, and the broken pieces of my heart have been healed.

Download or read book Jesus Is My Rose written by Christella Moore and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-03-21 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book Jesus Is My Rose was inspired by the poetry that was revealed to me when I was visiting the hospital but its content is base on Gods revelation, which was received through the scriptures and in my personal experiences. Gods word is vividly described through Gods revelation, my personal experience and the scriptures (KJV). Jesus Is My Rose will help us to find ourselves when we are lost in our situations and lead us into a place where God can give us peace to stand still in the strength of his mighty Spirit. When we are in an adverse place this book will encourage us to move into the place of victory that God has prepared for us. The emphasis is on the disobedience of the flesh and how it interferes with our reconciliation to God. This book was inspired when I was visiting the Carroll County Hospital in Huntingdon Tennessee (1992). I didnt know how to offer inspiration to the patients and I was becoming discouraged from the mission. I prayed for a solution and as a result the first poem Jesus Is My Rose was written. I would pray every Monday for the Lord to give me a poem. On Tuesday I would take it to my sister to copy it and on Wednesday I would go into the hospital from room to room, reading the poem to the patients as I distributing them. The poems became a book of about 21. My dad had always told me to copy write and publish my poems but I didnt know how. I had made the poems into a small book and they were inspirational for me from time to time over the years. I was working as a nurses assistant in the same hospital some years later. I would offer the book of poems to some of the patients when they were discharged. One lady commented on the poems and she said it was kind of monotonous to read poem after poem. Then I began to work on the Cause For Inspiration but I never got too far because it required a lots of work. As more years had passed, I matured in the word as the Lord walked with me through many situations. A friend of mine, who was touched by the poems, stayed on me to do something with them so I looked up publishing on the Internet. I became serious about the Cause For Inspiration and the Call to Worship but once again I stopped short of my destination. Satan began to buffet me with a vengeance. I felt like Jonah. I was running from God and it was time to stop running or face the consequence. I chose to stop running and finish this book. The books name Jesus Is My Rose comes from the first poem. The red rose represents a gift of love and reconciliation. This book is intended to inspire Gods most prized creation to receive/confirm the gift that represents Gods love and be reconciled to the father.
