There Is A River by Debbie Harris

There is a river
near no matter how
deep the valley,
no matter how
steep the mountain,
no matter how
parched the
landscape
no matter
how lush
and lavish
the beauty
surrounding
us is. There
is a river!
And that pure,
pristine river
of unequivocal
beauty is
Jesus Christ,
our Lord
and Savior
the living water
whose streams
nothing,
no nothing
or no one
not ever
can quell!

When A Divine Rescue Is Needed Impossibilties Become Possible With Christ Jesus Our Lord by Debbie Harris

29 Tuesday Oct 2013

Posted by Debbie Harris in Christian Poetry

≈ Leave a comment

And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.

Mark 10:27

When the heart is at capacity, watch
listen, continue to grow in Christ.
For just at the right moment our
mighty deliverer, the Lord of hosts,
Jesus Christ ,and His angelic legion,
the mighty army of our God always
sees the weary child of God in
desperate need upon their knees.

So children of God’s redemptive grace,
royal heirs of Jesus Christ, wait, pray,
watch expectantly grow in Christ’s
strength, grace and love knowing
that our God knows our limits He
knows our frame is but dust and
He hears his children’s cries for help.

For our every earthly tear will in
eternity be diamonds in our crowns
that we will cast at His nail pierced feet.
For our tears are our Savior’s Royal
invitation for a swift, mighty, miraculous,
divine, powerful, well-timed, grace filled rescuing.

So until He circumstantially moves,
royal heirs of Jesus Christ,
wait, pray, watch expectantly
and all the while give thanks
grow strong In Christ’s
unchanging, unfathomable,
unconditional, inestimable love!

Then rest, watch, wait, be still
and see the mighty, impossible,
ominous and difficult mountains
divinely disappear! For with our
God all things are possible!

Do We Love Well Precious Church Of Jesus Christ? by Debbie Harris

27 Sunday Oct 2013

≈ Leave a comment

Precious
church
and
bride
of
Jesus
Christ,
do
we
love
well
or
do
we
create
more
injustice
and
harm?

And then
I must
also
do the
hard work
and ask
myself,
do I
love
well
and
treat
all with
Christ’s
abounding,
unconditional,
tender love
and grace-filled
care as well?

When Luciferian Darkness Tries To Overtake The Light Of The World by Debbie Harris

27 Sunday Oct 2013

Posted by Debbie Harris in Christian Poetry

≈ Leave a comment

Ephesians 6:12-13 (KJV)

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers,against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high
places.

Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, which ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all to stand.

The Spirit of our Warrior God within,King of Kings can never be crushed, bruised, destroyed, or broken. For the Spirit of our Warrior God within, Christ Jesus delights in winning our every battle and overcoming, and defeating our every foe with His everlasting and ceaseless love.

For the Spirit of our warrior God within our hearts bids us give Him every battle while pursuing peace and love with all for He will defend His royal heirs from those that mean them harm.

And while the earthly battle is being won by our Triune God and the Heavenly Hosts, he bids us,as His Royal children,with redeemed and transformed hearts of faith to always forgive, love, overcome evil with good. For this is His blessed path of righteousness and peace that always brings the child of faith victory within if we can but humbly obey pursue and joyfully follow.

When The Roots Of Our Very Being Need To Grow Deeper In Christ by Debbie Harris

27 Sunday Oct 2013

Posted by Debbie Harris in Christian Poetry

≈ Leave a comment

When roots
of our
hearts,
souls,
and minds
need to
grow deeper
in Christ,
blessed
chariots of
trials,
troubles,
tests,
fires
are sent
and allowed
not to
discourage us,
not to
defeat us,
but to
form us,
strengthen us,
build us up,
fashion us into
the beautiful image
of His only begotten Son,
Jesus, Man of Sorrows,
acquainted with grief
so that we as His
dear children,
Daughters
and Sons,
can reach
even more souls
with the very
love and comfort
that victoriously
fills us up
in our times
of desperate need
when in grief or pain!

These
oftentimes
turbulent
instruments of
trials and
tests on earth
are really
in disguise,
chariots
of blessings,
allowed by
our triune God
to deepen our
roots in
Christ’s love,
orchestrated
and sent
from our
loving
Father,
Savior and,
Holy Spirit
so that
we realize
that the
best is yet
to come
not in
this world
but in Heaven!

Not I But Christ by Debbie Harris

27 Sunday Oct 2013

Posted by Debbie Harris in Christian Poetry

≈ Leave a comment

Galatians 2: 20 (KJV)

I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me:
And the life which I now live in the flesh I’ve by the faith of the Son of God, who
Loved me, and gave himself for me.

Not I but Christ
when one cannot go on
not I but Christ.

Not I but Christ
when one’s best
is not good enough
not I but Christ.

Not I but Christ
when the world
hates the
righteousness
of Christ within
not I but Christ.

Not I but Christ
when words and
anger assail and
the emotional
sting is too
much to bear
not I but Christ.

Not I but Christ
when earthly burdens
of sickness, pain, loss,
doubt, worry and fear
seem to heavy
a load to carry
not I but Christ.

Not I but Christ
when we are
marginalized,
minimalized,
and disdained
because the light
and love of Christ
lights up our
hearts and lives
not I but Christ.

Not I but Christ
when jealousy is cruel
and shame and mocking
is demonically sent
to bring us down
not I but Christ is
the victorious song
that calls the saint
to go higher still
to fellowship with
God who truly delights
in our Christ given
robes of righteousness.
not I but Christ.

Not I but Christ
when one’s heart is
so filled with
the earthly cares
and tears of others
not I but Christ.

Not I but Christ,
not I but Christ
not I but Christ
is the eternal,
triumphant,
jubilant,
victorious,
Christ given
song of our heart
that can never be
crushed, bruised
or broken.

For no matter
what comes
my heart,
soul,and mind
will fully lean
into the
limitless
strength
of our
omnipotent,
omniscient,
omnipresent
Triune God.

Not I but Christ
is our victorious
mindset of
triumphant faith
that puts our
feet of clay
upon the solid rock
of Jesus Christ,
our risen Lord.

Not I but Christ,
not I but Christ,
not I but Christ
is the glorious
mindset of
courageous faith
that can never
be shaken!

Are We Cross With The Majestic Gift Of Calvary’s Love? by Debbie Harris

27 Sunday Oct 2013

Posted by Debbie Harris in Christian Poetry

≈ Leave a comment

Hebrews 12:2 (KJV)

Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith: who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne room of God.

Are we cross
with the
majestic Gift
of Calvary’s love?

Is this not a
perilous oxymoron,
a mountainous error
of devastating proportion
seeing that the Cross
of Jesus Christ is all
about the never-ending,
unconditional,
divine,
beautiful,
exquisite,
sacrificial love
of our crucified
and risen Savior
who is the hope
and answer for
all the world.

The more we
are like Christ,
the more He
gives us His
majestic love
to show mercy
to show grace,
to always be able
to serve with
Calvary’s love.

Oh father above
in every moment,
in every circumstance
give us your power
to put on and walk in
the new nature of Christ
not the old nature filled
with self, the world, and Satan’s
insidious and heinous fearful lies that
kill,destroy, paralyze, and maime.

May our earthly gaze
be attentively,
be studiously,
be only on thee!!

The more we
are like Christ,
the more He
gives us His
majestic love
to show mercy
to show grace,
to always be able
to serve with
Calvary’s love.

Are we cross
with the
majestic
gift of
Calvary’s
love?

May We Trust You Jesus by Debbie Harris

27 Sunday Oct 2013

Posted by Debbie Harris in Christian Poetry

≈ Leave a comment

Psalms 5:11-12 (KJV)

But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also love thy name be joyful in thee.

For thou, O Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favor wilt thou compass him as with a shield.

May we trust you Jesus when our hearts are breaking!

May we trust you Jesus through the unknowns.

May we trust you Jesus when we are in abundance and when in great need.

May we trust you Jesus in the midst of great trials.

May we trust you Jesus when on the stormy seas.

May we trust you Jesus when all around is turmoil.

May we trust you Jesus in the midst of mocking’s and jealousies.

May we trust you Jesus when I am given favor.

May we trust you Jesus when the favor of man cannot be seen.

May we trust you Jesus in the midst of failures.

May we trust you Jesus in the midst of success.

May we trust you Jesus in the midst of great sorrow.

May we trust you Jesus in the midst of great pain.

May we trust you Jesus in the mist of great joy.

May we trust you Jesus when dreams come true or not.

May we trust you Jesus.
May we trust you Jesus
May we trust you Jesus
For you alone knit us
Together in our mother’s womb
And gave us the blessing
Of life and breath.

May we trust you Jesus
With all that we are
With all that we have
To work out all things
Together for our good.

May we trust you our King of Kings.
We trust you precious Jesus,
Savior of the world
With everything!

We trust you Jesus!
