Thoughts About The Deeper Christian Life



Help me to lay

down my life

I know I have drifted from You.

Help me to lay

down my life;

to surrender each part,

to be faithful and true


***


Repentance is key

as we seek to go deeper:

what sin has led you astray?

Anger and doubt, an unloving way?

Repent, lay down all

as you kneel down and pray


***


Doubt and lack of faith

bind you and lead you away

doubt and lack of faith

keep you from walking with 

Jesus today


***


You once were born again,

now you think that you're OK.

You once were born again,

Jesus has died, the price did pay.

You once were born again,

but that was years ago.

You once were born again,

now in clutches of sin

you cannot say no.


Repent, as Peter did,

when he wept so bitterly,

repent as Peter did -

be filled with the Spirit,

renewed and set free.


p.i.H.H


Love and blessings.

P.S. I wrote these poems whilst reading a little book entitled, "The Deeper Christian Life" by Andrew Murray. I highly recommend it to anyone who is seeking to leave the wilderness of carnal Christianity in order to enter the Promised Land.

Battle. A Free Short Story.

Battle Evil swarmed and swooped thickly throughout the valley. Jonathan's sword slashed to the left and right. Sometimes, it arched through the air above his head, as infuriated hisses and screeches filled the darkness. To Jonathan's left and right, inky blackness was being pushed back by his companions. Stretched across the valley, they marched on, their swords slashing and crashing through the thick air, and bringing limp scaly bodies to the ground. The bright ones could not stop. Victory was not theirs yet, for the evil hordes kept coming. There were more than ever before it seemed, here at the closing of the ages. Jonathan grimaced as a foul creature landed close beside him. It screeched and bared its fangs in final rebellion. But Jonathan kept on. Supernatural strength coursed through his body, as more warriors joined the battle. They were nearing the far side of the valley now. The atmosphere remained black and grim: the battle was far from over. Jonathan's sword coul...

A September Medley

  Psalm 81:3 "Blow the trumpet at the New Moon, at the full moon, on our feast day." Trumpet A trumpet sounds: A royal din: Our long-awaited Groom steps in. A joyful wedding  song now plays and we will love Him all our days. *** End Times Tales: Every Little Bit Counts. Lisa's father pointed his teaspoon in her direction as his brows drew together gloomily. "What's the point? There are masses of lost people in the city. What can one girl do? Besides," he added more gently. I don't want you getting hurt. People are just plain mean these days." He waved the spoon as Lisa quietly placed her books in her backpack. "It's not the old days anymore. Just like the Bible says, people are proud and boastful; scoffers, arrogant..." "I know, Dad, but I have to try. It's what Jesus wants me to do. There's so little time left before the Rapture." "Like shovelling sand with a teaspoon." Her Dad grumbled. Lisa shook her head...

The Searching: A Free Inspirational Story

  The Searching: A Free Inspirational Story Dear Readers, Here is a gift from me to you. "The Searching" is a story which has been puttering around in my heart for awhile. It nearly didn't get written though, as I was a bit unsure as to whether I could get it to work. But God is faithful, and He gave me both the inspiration and the words. There were a few times when I nearly gave up, but now, I'm so glad that I didn't. It's one of my favourites, and I hope that you enjoy it too.  *** Previous cover The Searching: A Novella *** By Alison Lawrence *** Copyright Copyright owner: Alison Lawrence. 2024 All rights reserved.
