@heartathome @Realness @Appleblossom Thank you for your prayers. i've been trying to calm down enough to get to sleep for i'm totally exhausted but my mind wont stop. i can't let go. Scared the wicked get me again falling asleep, like they have so often in my life. Still not trusting Jesus enough to sleep like a babe. Frustrating when my mind is all over the place because i'm so tired.

Yet Jesus, and Heaven's army stand guard, my ability to trust is not needed, neither faith, i know He is there, He never lies, but my mind all the time. It is as true as me typing these words right now, no much truer yet!

i've taken a sleeper, i know no guarantee but this tiny tablets will suddenly have me fall asleep, and for as long as my body is relax, as in i do not physically feel i'm falling asleep, i will sleep for a few hours at least. That would already be greatest. A 20 minutes power sleep i would experience as God send right now that's for sure. All my words are red after i type them, luckily the dictionary knows what i cannot seem to conjure up any longer.

His peace is all surpassing though. i know i do not need to fight but am aloud to see me live my salvation in His Word of truth even now.

Isaiah 63-66 is the word that Jesus brought Alive in me the last 5 months in my raging alter. for those of you who have an interest to understand how we can live The word in Jesus for real.

The Word Coming To Save Me in My Elect of self, being destroying the wicked, who have been hurting me through me believing their lies since i was a little kid traumatised by evil voices during psychosis..

Good morning @DownMoreThanUp I hope you got some sleep last night and am feeling a bit better this morning! I admire how you hang onto Jesus when things are difficult. 🙏💛

Oh no! 😲I'm sorry to hear that your car was broken into at church! Did they leave any damage to the car?

Thanks for the verse! I love getting your occasional Bible verses. I take note! @avant-garde

Our church is studying Romans next year which I'm looking forward to. Our Bible study group studies the scripture that was said in church that week. Our teacher is an ex-Baptist minister and a psychologist. He's very learned and one of the good ones. 💛

Because I'm up and down and in and out in church, my paster gives me chuppa chups to keep me in there! How cool is that! 😄

@heartathome Good morning dear sister good to meet you today. i slept just under 3 hours on a sleeper, not good, but could be worse, have had it worse.

Yes Jesus is all i need when pursued like this by The Wicked. Only The Word can safe me. I trust no one else to, not myself either. I know I cannot trust anyone, for everyone has let me down when the need for aid was greatest, even including my wife at times, though she has been much more faithful than I have ever been in my past.

@ENKELI Good to know you are still around. i have not heard or seen much of you lately so I know you must also be struggling. Do know I have been praying for you, and all of you here, each time you come to mind. (Which has been a lot lately)

@avant-garde @Appleblossom @Realness

i'm going to keep my input low. i need to stop, not fuel my mind, with more issues to deal with. i'm fine though. Never been better or felt safer than I do knowing Jesus will do what I cannot do. Just awaiting our Lord to appear fully in this part of my life. For I now know for 100 percent sure Revelation 19:10 speaks truer than those lies keeping The Love Of My Life from me ever did.

I'll be around sharing my tale when this cycle of grace has fully completed His work in me.

An awesome lesson of faith in song (and word!)

@heartathome , @DownMoreThanUp , @Appleblossom , @ENKELI ,

HI All,

Luke 13.

- We need to repent (be turned to, facing, Jesus).

- Like an owner of a fig tree wants fruit from their tree, Jesus wants us to be fruitful.

- The mustard seed and leaven show the power of Jesus to spread tremendously.

- But it's a narrow gate.

- Those who are now last shall be first, ...

- Jesus wants us near Him like a hen gathers her brood under her wings.

I love the imagery of chicks under the hen's wings. May each of you feel yourself gathered under Jesus' "wings".

I really love the many metaphors from nature within the bible too. It is so rich and can give so much wisdom in many circumstances. @Realness

@DownMoreThanUp Finding peace and sleep can be tricky. Hope you got some. Enough to manage. Hope your mind settles. Hearing you about integrating your various parts. It can be healing but not easy.

@heartathome Love your caring presence around the forum.

@avant-garde Sorry about the car. Glad you could still have a smile.

I am still pretty fragile.

I used to do a meditation on a half smile...

@Realness Good Morning dear. God bless posting what you did. For Jesus only just reminded me how His love in my life keeps speaking true reminding the poems His love in my had me pen all these years ago.

i'll share you the poems He was speaking about. The ones His love in me had me pen down written more than 14 years ago by now but still speak the same truth in my heart they did then.

Song of Battle.

The arrows streak their flame.
a bad attack of guilt and shame.
Opening the treasures of my defence,
His loving Word my only chance,
Of surviving the fiery weather.

"Do, don't, eat, abstain, go or stay."
Is what those graceless attackers say.
Scornfully throwing their hate around.
My many sins sizzling at their sound.
Surrounding me with their sin's misery.

Now one grabs me cruelly by the throat,
my sins has him mock a scornful gloat.
"How can you still trust in God's grace,
When I rub all this dirt in your face?"
He demands in a nasty accuser's tone.

In humble voice I lowly bow my head.
Lord You heard what they just said,
yet who can charge those You elect?
Faith in Your sacrifice makes perfect.
So let Your grace and love do battle.

Instantly His sword streaks its flame.
His word attack my enemies once again.
His graceful loving truth fells all.
In the fire of His mercy they fall,
Such a wonderful happy ending for me.

For Jesus is victorious over my sin.
Eternal life our Lord for me did win.
Praises to Him from my heart swells.
For His Spirit of grace in me dwells.
All glory belongs to The Lamb of God!

Oh Come, Glorious Judgement!

Judgement Day begins when you meet up with Jesus,
He will search out your dwelling place completely,
His Words dividing you the sheep from those goats!

He will address your inner lovelessness with His love,
and chase the clinging coldness in your heart away,
from death and decay setting your soul completely free!

Truly Judgement Day, is a day of living ecstatic joy,
new life for those in you hurting or perishing lies
Only His Loving Truth ruling your inner reality now.

Bad religion shall no longer cause you any bother,
As His loving joy growing in you finds deeper root,
lush growth in newness of life replacing deadness!

Yet Judgement Day will be the end of all your fears,
As no terror can ever travel on The Way to Heaven.
All divided you in complete union, praising the Lamb!

Your big I, gets new function at the rear of existence
while loving Jesus ruling as king is put in first place!
You loving our Heavenly Father with all your heart.

In all your life's deeds The Son of God you'll meet,
Answerable for all you have brought into existence,
In good and bad His loving truth visiting you within!

Judgement Day is about being rightly placed by God,
all good and loving dwelling within upfront - to B(b)e.
bad life shaping us the shadows of night - passing away!

My Vineyard.

My soul is a vineyard of the Lord.
He chose the site carefully
and dug my hardened soil deep.

He removed all rocks and stones
and built me a wall with them,
a defence so very strong.

He planted the choicest of vines,
in fertile ground He planted them
and watered them deeply.

He cares for the plants very well,
pruning them each season,
strong stock to propagate.

Also a watchtower did He make,
placing guards in it,
a watching eye on things.

A wine press He built as well,
for when my vines yield,
pressing the best of fruit.

The wine of Joy is what I get,
jubilant my maidens dance,
gladness running over.

My Lord, My Husband.

My Lord with bowed head I stand before you,
I'm not worthy to be called your wife.
For I have been very unfaithful
and deserted you for many years.

I'm so sorry Lord that I've been untrue
been unkind, rebellious and temperamental
In The End betraying You for the other one
that cruel liar and deceiver, that Beast.

Yet You rescued me from that tyrant
Hid me in the desert until I grew free
Taught me tenderly what true love was
and gave me back my dignity.

I wanted to thank you dear husband
from the bottom of my heart
for accepted my other children
those not conceived from your seed.

I'm so grateful You sorted them out for me
for a rebellious kindred they've surely been
Yet Your awesome love won them all
freeing me from having to control them.

And now my Lord, my husband so dear.
I feel almost embarrassed asking you this
My Lord, if..if I have found favour in Your sight,
then please, please let me know You...

Oh Jesus, a wonderful husband you will always be,
please let me be Your ever faithfully loving wife,
the seeds of your Love fill me, time and again
your offspring making me enlarge my tent.

His Love In The Making.

Song of Solomon 1:4 Take me away with you�let us hurry!
Let the king bring me into his chambers.

Love In The Making.

My love removes all in me without desire or need,
To bare to the passions embracing His Godly Love,
Pure ecstasy as His Love releases The Holy Seed,
Love making conceives Heavenly bliss from above.

My love carrying what His Good Loving has Sown,
Eagerly awaiting the time of delivery to come.
To give our Heavenly Dad a Child All of His Own
Hear the Angels adore Him who gave us The Son.

An invitation to The Chosen.

God's Love will not take or will
you to conform to rules or demand
which imprison, enslave, burn or harm you.

God's Love will not pervert what's Good
The Lord loves truthfully Wise and Good.
True Love was, is and always will be Good!

In God's Love you are free to be right!
In His love everything is good proper and kind.
He loves all who love good and true to rule!

His Love is caring, providing, and sharing.
His Love always enjoys and protects good life.
His love rules even when bad life has being in us!

Hear Jesus call - 'Come join up with us all!
Leave whatever ties you down and be free
loving good life with all God's own to be.'

To the rest in your heart God's asks
how long will you tarry in the darkness?
Please leave such bad existence within.

For life must not, no never should, or would, or could,
be forceful, rude, prideful, arrogant, selfish, lustful
or otherwise be untrue to God's loving truth.

Neither should life be hurting or ill,
hungry, oppressed, despised, hated
or otherwise have existence in wrong.

Please hand your Bad Life over to Jesus
Humbly ask for His Good Life back in return
and go love God, self and neighbour with Joy.

The Church knows that Jesus is coming soon
All bad life will be our shameful past then,
so please leave your bad life while you can!

Love

(It will be SO VERY good when I can join in poetry. I have never had a rhyme in me I don't think. I scorned myself paranoid and religious alter writing them at the time, now i'm dining on them instead.

Life sure is STRANGELY awesome on the right side of His judgements.)

Hallelujah Jesus WON!

Hi @DownMoreThanUp ,

I'm listening to "The Package" as I write this. I'm enjoying it. Don Francisco says the most important words in the song are: "I know my Father loves me and has only good in mind." Brings to mind Romans 8:28. "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose (NIV)." ( @avant-garde also quoted this verse.)

Now I'm listening to "I'll Never Let Go Of Your Hand".

I'm thinking about the challenges we have and are facing - God is working them together for good.

The third link didn't work.

@DownMoreThanUp I hear you in thinking that your writing may be stirring things up. Possibly better sleep will return if you rest from it for a bit. Having said that I love your writing and look forward to hearing from you after this cycle of grace has been completed.

@heartathome @Realness I have been reading your posts about lottery winnings and praying for riches - it resonates highly with me!

How ungrateful am I when I ask for a lotto win, even promising I will use it for good purpose! I hasve to keep reminding myself not to store riches on earth.

I keep thinking of my dad. I don't think I have let myself properly grieve.

@DownMoreThanUp I see you're having a tough time of it at the moment, I have been praying for you. I have been praying for each one of you.

God bless my dear friends

Hi @DownMoreThanUp ,

I read each of the poems.

Song of Battle - I love that you end on "All glory belongs to The Lamb of God!"

Oh Come Glorious Judgement - my favourite line was "He will search out your dwelling place completely."

My Vineyard - beautifully concise.

My Lord, My Husband - beautifully written. I really liked it.

His Love in the Making - here it was the verse Song of Solomon 1:4 that jumped out at me - urgent longing for our Saviour Jesus like lovers urgently long to be by themselves.

An Invitation to the Chosen - the line that jumped out at me was "Leave whatever ties you down and be free."

What a gift God has given you to be able to write like that!
