My hope for you

Poetry speaks to our minds and hearts and is meant to communicate more than the sum of its words. It is an apt expression of our walk with the Lord. I encourage you to forward this link to those you love. I pray this poetry leads you into reflection and prayer but I also want to start a conversation. You, too, have something to share with others-not only in person, but also here. Your experience is yours to give away to build up and learn from others in the Body of Christ. Share the word that you hear, the experiences you have lived. We are all part of the New Evangelization.If you also want to contact me by email, feel free: genefirn@yahoo.com

The Myth


no...that is a Myth ..you were not 
'born that way'...in Truth you were 
wounded that way...for indeed...
All are wounded...each person 
suffers from the consequences
of Original Sin...each one bears 
the fruit of that fateful decision to 
become like 'gods' deciding what                          
is good / evil for themselves...easily 
led astray by distorted emotions 
attracted to evil...a darkened intellect 
easily deceived and a will rooted in 
rebellious pride...but there is an even 
more sinister reality...an evil and
more powerful Enemy who seeks                  
your eternal destruction through
his cunning accusations...sophisticated            
lies and murderous intentions all
wrapped in the cloak of his supposed                       
non-existence...yes...each human             
is born into this debilitated condition
yearning for love / affirmation / acceptance /
affection and attention - the bonding that 
pre-existed the Fall - each born into 
fallen families / relationships where sins 
of omission / commission - many times
traumatic experiences -  lead to soul ties - 
harmful attachments that open doors to sin 
and the influence of the evil one whose
lies about yourself / others / Me often
lead to walls being erected between yourself
and Me and then are reinforced by vows /
decisions putting into practice destructive 
behaviors which seal one's false identity...
all this gift-wrapped in deceptive ideologies 
from a depraved world which celebrate 
and coercively promote compulsive spiritual
death-styles in this life and into the next...
false idols of lust which enslave all-the-
while purporting freedom / liberty...
So...Listen to the Truth....I Created you out 
of Love to become My Beloved Child - 
that is your True Identity...indeed....you 
were Immutably Created Male or Female
for a Complementary Union of Mutual
Self-Giving which mirrors the Trinitarian 
Mystery and by Grace to Live with Me 
Forever but because Sin severed our 
Union I sent My Only-Begotten Son to 
take your sins and Just Punishment upon 
Himself and pay the price of a torturous 
Death then Rise in Triumph over Sin / 
Satan so that YOU might be Saved from 
Eternal Death...Yes...ALL your Eternal...
Infinite...Perfect Needs / Desires can be 
realized beginning in this life and Fulfilled 
in the Next...IF you Accept My Grace to 
Change your Mind / Repent and Believe 
this Good News by Accepting Jesus as 
your Lord and Savior and Choosing to 
Brake from the Past by Forgiving those 
who sinned against you ..acknowledging
and giving over your wounds to the Healer 
of Hearts...Renouncing vows and lies...
closing doors...breaking seals and 
cutting soul ties...declaring your True 
Identity in Christ...Surrendering All and 
being Transformed by a Renewal of your
Mind...Getting Support of Brothers / 
Sisters in the Lord...Embracing a New 
Way of Living and Purpose in Life to 
serve the King of Kings /Lord of Lord 
and by the Power of the Holy Spirit to 
Change and be Healed...a Reality but 
also a Process...as My Word says...
"My Grace is sufficient for you for My 
Power is made perfect in weakness"...for
"If anyone is in Christ, he is a New Creation,
old things have passed away, behold all 
things have become new." So...Seek First
the Kingdom of God acknowledging that
"I can do all things through Christ who 
strengthens me"

-How can you forgive when you may still feel the pain?
-What lies did you believe that influenced your decision making?
-What sins opened the door to a death-style?
