Last week someone downloaded all my episodes in one day. Also I went from having been heard in 59 countries to 63 countries. And I went from being heard in 557 cities to 683 cities. There's been a Holy Ghost explosion of downloads and listeners. I pray for all these new folks and that the words God gave me are healing and inspiring.

March Forth

It’s simply a day in a month.
One day in a year.
But it’s the only date that sounds like a command.
Today is March Forth.

What will we make of this day?
We can ignore this unusual happenstance of language or
we can pause for a moment to consider what we will do this day.

Will we go forth with boldness?
Or will we sit in our comfort zone?
Will we go forth in confidence?
Or will we continue in doubt?
Will we go forth proclaiming the truth?
Or will we quietly ignore God‘s power within us?

We’ve been told and empowered to disciple the nations.
We’ve been told and empowered to speak the truth in love.
We’ve been told and empowered to set the captives free.
Will we stay at home or
will we March Forth?

God Bless you all. Here is my newest original poem for Episode 6 of Season Five. Follow the link to hear the complete episode.

Go in Peace not to Pieces

The world had attacked me on every side.
From its accusing words I tried to hide.
Trying to protect my cold battered heart.
Trying to keep my life from falling apart.
But the voice of the world said, Go to pieces.

But then I heard of Jesus, and of his great power.
Touched by him, now no longer to cower.
His strong and gentle voice spoke love to me.
And by his Blood and name I am now free.
He touched me and said, Go in peace.

Before him all I could do was cry.
Then he looked with a smile into my eyes.
My sin, my burden, my shame he took away.
His presence now in me to always stay,
He released me and said, Go in peace.

The decision is mine, of what voice I will hear.
Will the voice give me joy, or will it bring me fear.
The voice of the world tries to cause my end.
The voice of Jesus tells me I am his friend.
He spoke to me and said, Go in peace.

Have you ever wanted to speak in tongues?

This is a short original poem I wrote about speaking in tongues.

No longer hollow, in his spirit I now follow.
His gift to me bestowed and now I can overflow.
Within resides his power so I no longer need to cower.
Speaking a language unknown sent from his heavenly throne.
By it I find his rest and can overcome all stress.
His spirit not my lungs gives the words I speak in tongues.

The poem is from Episode 20 of season 3 of my podcast. If you want to learn how to receive to your prayer language check out the episode. Blessing to you all in Jesus name!

This is my original poem from Episode 4-35

Who I Am, Who I’m Not

It’s not about who I’m not.
It’s about becoming who I am.
freed from sin by the blood of the Lamb.
Now I am a new creation,
With a totally new reputation.
I’m no longer a sinner, now I’m a saint.

So to the things of yesterday I say goodbye
Ignoring the old man ‘cause he did die.
Looking to Jesus to walk in the new.
Thinking about yesterday I’m totally through.

It’s not about who I’m not.
It’s about who Christ made me.
I’m righteous, it’s a gift he gave for free
Focused on the truth not on my past.
I’ve been given peace, deep and vast.
I’m no longer a sinner, now I’m a saint.

So to the things of yesterday I say goodbye
Ignoring the old man ‘cause he did die.
Looking to Jesus to walk in the new.
Thinking about yesterday I’m totally through.

It’s not about who I’m not
It’s about my identity with him.
My past is gone, my future no longer grim.
My focus not on my doing but on his done.
Made by Jesus to be God’s beloved son.
I’m no longer a sinner, now I’m a saint.

Do you have a fight within yourself? Am I a saint or a sinner? Are you constantly plagued by feelings of unworthiness? Do you believe you were cleansed or are you still dirty? Do the sins of your past haunt you? Welcome to yesterday ended, healing...

Here is my original poem for Episode 4-36

Does God Hate Me?

Be holy, for I am holy.
But my walk is full of holes.
Some days I wholly fail to be good.
I don’t do the things I should.
And my heart turns from God in shame.
And I wonder does God hate me?

I have heard he so loved the world.
I’ve read about his blessings in the word.
But doubt has whirled about in my heart
It kills my faith with its sharp dart.
And I wonder does God hate me?

But in my moment of despair, I hear him.
His tender voice speaks and brings me peace.
Then he sings to me a lullaby, and in his arms, I rest.

You are my beloved child,
I am well pleased with you,
Because you are my beloved child,
I am well pleased with you,
Believe me when I say,
I will never leave, close I will stay.
For my mercy is new this day.

You are my beloved child,
And I delight in you.
Before all time I chose you.
In the womb I covered you.
And now I woo you,
come to me, and share my love.

Here is my original poem for Episode 4-30 entitled. Stay!"

Stay
There is a decision to make, to play or stay.
It is the decision to rebel or to obey.
It is a decision we must make every moment of the day.
To heed God’s voice, and walk faithfully in his way.

God calls out to us with a loving command.
He calls to us to come and be at his right hand.
His desire for us is to be close as he always planned.
His love and will for us we must come to understand.

His word was written to direct us how to be trained
That the power of his spirit in us would be ingrained.
That the fullness of Christ in us would be attained.
So that by the world we will never be chained.

The Olympics are currently in full swing. I am always inspired by Olympic athletes and their dedication. In honor of the game of life by wrote this original poem for episode 25 of season four of my podcast, Yesterday Ended: Healing the Traumas of our Past.

Winning Gold

I've been told I'm more than a conqueror.
I've been told I’ve been given the victory.
I've been told I’ve been caused to triumph.
But do I believe what I've been told?
Can I really win the gold?

What will it take for me to conquer?
What will it take for me to have the victory?
What will it take for me to triumph?
Am I willing to believe what I've been told?
Can I really win the gold?

Will I train for endless hours?
Will I prepare mind and body?
Will I strive for the eternal goal?
Experiencing the truth of what I've been told.
I can really win the gold.

Here is my original poem for my latest episode of my Podcast. You can listen to the full episode on Apple Podcast, Spotify and many other podcast providers. It is also available online at yesterdayended.buzzsprout.com

What I Confess

If I confess what I want to be,
which is not yet a reality,
am I ignoring the truth of who I is,
trying to obtain what is his?

Is it a lie if I confess what I want,
to override words that fearfully haunt?
Calling upon a promise to give me hope
And give me strength and power to cope.

I’ve been living some big lies all this time
Saying their ways were sublime.
Confessing words I thought were true
Eyes open now I changed my view.

What I continue to say every single day
Can give me full life, or it can slay.
It can bring Joy or it can bring dismay.
The confessions of my mouth determine my way.
