Where I'm From Poem

Behold the Doule
Where I’m from
3/19/2016
I’m from the mind of Him, who is great
The echo of His love, where righteousness is breath
And holiness and goodness, eat at the same table
I’m from the shouts of praise, sitting on the seat of laughter
With others who share His story, history
I’m from boldness and strength, that’s been given to me, as a gift
From hymns of death, blood, and torture
That produced life, grace, and mercy
I’m from rainy weather and cold winds
That like to hug me, every time I walk outside
From the shivering cold and long walks at night
From 100 books open at one time
As the hail taps my window to come in
From deep thoughts, that give me the same enjoyment as songs
From crazy sibling to wonderful parents
I’m from sad moments and happy times
Where misery and blissful collide
Yes, I’m from the cross
I plant my roots in wisdom and produce knowledge
I gather from Christ, my life
From Proverbs 9:10, to be precise


I’m from my Black-American people
From my skin, I mean my sin
No
I am from people, from everyone
From a world, in need of grace
I am from salvation
From a new race, a new breed
Where all members exist and live, in One
I am from a temple that’s old
From a worldview that dying
In fact, I have to call a funeral director
I am from a Rock
I am a mountain
I mean, I lean on Rock
And dwell in a mountain

Psalm 11.

You all ought to know "never leave a PROPHET empty Handed".

A sister in Christ messaged me: I heard that one should never go to a prophet empty handed. Since you were able to help me with dream interpretations and get me on the right track I would like to send you a gift of my appreciation. Thank you and God bless. Note: (Some portions of the message have been taken out due to personal content associated with the messenger and receiver). My Response: I wonder where you heard “never leave a prophet empty handed." If someone told me that then I’d go ask for help from a prophet and then they would assist me. After I’d say, “hold out your hand." I‘d put my hand in their hand and bless them with the name of Jesus by faith saying “God bless you. ” Now that is more richer than green pieces of paper wouldn’t you think? It is not great prophecy speaking over a person saying,  “God bless you?" Especially,  if it’s from a believer, you have been blessed by through God. Praying is like a petition before God (Philippians 4:6). How mu...

The White Church (poem) Black History Month

My mother asked me to write a poem for her conservative Pentecostal Church about God and Black History. February is Black History month. Time passed, and I forgot to write it.  My mother gave me a reminder on Saturday when she needed it the next day February 24, 2013.  It needed to be a limited length because it will be on a program. To write a good poem, it takes me 3 or 4 hours. Holy Spirit spoke to me and said, “Why don’t we do it together." I said “sure” excitedly. We finished it in an hour or less. This is the result. Enjoy! We hope you are blessed by it. Title: The White Church She sings in the gallows of the city She sings in the rain She sings She sing’s “I need thee.” Plea, my Chosen unto Heaven She sings She sings, “I will drink your leaven.” Come upon the road and till your ground She sings she sings, “turn around.” Work thy fields and gather thy gin (clean raw cotton) She sings She sings, “low my sin.” Fin She becomes black and sown with hollo...

Bestfriend

I have been having complex thoughts about my life and my chosen direction. Some people say the world is a battle, and one must push through. Life is fair and plays out how our Father in Heaven dictates. What the Lord has spoken is the universal law. His words will come to pass regardless of whether humanity understands them. Nonetheless, God gives specific individuals understanding that surpasses everyone else's knowledge and makes us listen to these people. These people are prophets that proclaim the commands of God to the people. Usually, they aren’t the most beautiful, famous, or talented, though their character is blameless and devoted to continuous prayer. God doesn’t highlight these men and women to us. We must know Him and His words and compare them to the proclamation of the prophets. We must study and seek knowledge from the Holy Spirit to guide our understanding of Christ's ways. Even when such persons speak in error, given that we are imperfect beings, we must always...
