Hey everyone, I just wanted to share with you some of my favorite scriptures. I have also posted some links to bible related websites. Check out the links and share some of your favorite scriptures, if you'd like! Peace. And happy holidays!
Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation, to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. Matthew 11:28 Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light. 1 Corinthians 1:25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. 1 Corinthians 3:16 Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are. Church website (This is the church I've been attending lately): www.themansionchurch.org Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. John 15:14 You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. John 14:15 If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever- the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes throughthe law, then Christ died in vain. www.bibleproject.com John 1 Genesis 1 1 John 1:29 1 John 1:43 James 1:12 Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.

Dear God,
It was in the spring, I wanna say May of 2017 that I became a saved Christian. Up until that point, you were always by my side. I’ve believed in you from day 1. Reading the children’s bible, going to church, seeing the influence you have on my family. I want to recap what I’ve learned ever since I became saved. I remember my first bible study. Back in the fall of 2017. Not knowing much about the Bible, who wrote the books, what the general message was, the story line, and just how powerful your grace is. I can’t remember exactly the order it is in which I’ve learned your scriptures, but I sure do know that I’ve learned. This is what I’ve learned. Your word is like food. We need it every day. It helps us to grow further and further into your love. Immediately upon going to bible studies, I learned that John 14 is an important verse to know. John in itself is one of the greatest books in the Bible. “In my Father’s house are many mansions. If it were not so, would I have told you. I go to prepare a place for you?” John 14:2 This scripture touches my heart. I remember viewing this as, Jesus wants us to love one another. I remember thinking he wants us to prepare guest rooms. He wants us to associate with other believers who will also have guest rooms prepared. Jesus wants us to gather so we can learn more about his word and surround one another with the one and only, most powerful force on the planet, the Holy Spirit. In John, Jesus goes on to tell us (in his own words, highlighted in red), that he is the way and the only way. No one goes to the father except through him and with faith in Jesus, we can make it to heaven. He also goes on to say he is going to send us a helper. At first I thought, he’s going to send me a helper? Like a friend, or someone whose going to come into my life to help who was sent from Jesus? I can’t wait! Well later I learned, yes that is true, because the helper is the Holy Spirit. Now, without getting to off track, isn’t it amazing that Jesus Christ can send us a helper, the Holy Spirit, if we continue to learn his word and read his message?! A force of nature that stands beside us, filling us with Gods grace, ridding us of any sinful ways, and watching over us like a father. Through the Holy Spirit, we may experience supernatural powers at work where what once seemed so difficult now all of sudden is done with barely a lift or push from the tip of our pinky. Now being a beginner in the Bible, I wasn’t focused on the difficult aspects of the Bible. I just wanted to point of it, the easy stuff, so I could start learning. Well to sum it up. This is what I learned at first. -John 14 is a great verse -Jesus commands us to love one another -By learning the scriptures in the Bible we begin the learn how to walk like Jesus -Prayer is very important (however it wasn’t until down the road that that I read the most powerful scripture in the Bible that helped me drop my doubt and start believing... James 1:6) -and simple important things we must learn when we become saved Christians -Gods power is like a speeding freight train. It was completely flatten anyone or anything that attempts to destroy its believers Think about that. God is a beast. God will destroy and completely flatten anyone who attempts to defile the holy temple. And real quick, I began to learn fun facts such Gods weakest point is stronger than mans strongest point, God will command us in our every day life if we just quiet the mind and listen, God is Omni present and he is every where at all times, where two or more our gathered, Jesus is with them, God turns darkness into light by exposing that darkness to light where it may manifest and become light, Jesus Christ is in us as we are in him and as the father is in him and as he is in the father and as the father is in us as we are in the father and so on. Yes, the Bible tells us, that we are the holy temple of god, that is no longer I who lives but Christ who lives in me. We are no longer in control, Jesus has officially taken the wheel. Folks, I’m getting carried away, but it is the simple scriptures in the Bible the get repeated that Jesus wants us to know and that connect with one another. Jesus goes on to talk about the flesh and the spirit, understanding that he has given us eternal life, and not viewing the tangible objects around us, but viewing the things we can not see, which goes back to the Holy Spirit, When I first started learning the bible I knew nothing. I barely understood the terms that are often used in the Bible and just what exactly Jesus has in store for us if we listen to his word. I remember learning my first scriptures, Galatians 2:20, Ephesians 5:8, 1 Corinthians 3:16, John 14:2, Romans 8:11, and James 1:6. Gods word is food to me. As my faith in Christ strengthened I understood that it is important I apply it to my music. I remember writing a recent song I wrote titled Need Your Love. In the bridge, I wrote it’s like your by my side with shadows on the ground. This was written about the Holy Spirit. Jesus sends a helper the Holy Spirit, so I wrote its like you’re by my side with shadows on the ground. I remember sitting down at my mothers island in the kitchen with a pen and a notepad and writing the poem, Poem for God, which later was applied to the song, Love for Jesus. The melody and chords to Love for Jesus were written at my church when one of the brothers suggested I go try and write a song as we were bored and there wasn’t much to do. I took my guitar and went up into the church tower where a few lyrics flew out of me followed by Love is mutual and I’ve found myself in you etc. I continued attending bible studies all through 2018 and 2019 and I started to get it. Jesus has a job for us. This bible, it contains everything we need in life, including instructions on how to live it, and the #1 most important commandments that he gives us is to spread his life changing words. Reader, I pray for you, that the blood of Jesus May wash over you and cleanse you of all sin and darkness. I pray that you may find a new life in these words and that any changes you may want will come your way through the power of the one and only Jesus Christ. Jesus saves. He is big on not boasted and becoming big headed, but quiet and keeping it down while the Holy Spirit rushes through us like a freight train ready to flatten anyone whom is wishing the cast darkness on the beaming light that is us. The simple aspects of the Bible were all in front of my face. I remember jumping up and saying That’s Right! Many times as I was learning the Bible. Gods power, the fact that he lives in us and gives life to our mortal bodies, the fact that he wants us so badly to share his word and help change the lives of others, how we wants us to prepare a guest room for others... it wasn’t until the day that I sat down and read James 1:6 that I had another one of those AHA moments. I just want to explain to you real quick that when I started going to bible studies and prayer meetings, I was shy when it came to the actual praying part of it. I remember skipping out and passing the first few times. I also remember when I said my first prayer and the brothers and the pastor were rooting for me and there for me even when I was nervous and shy. When I got done saying my first prayer they basically shouted and congratulated me for saying my first prayer. There was something missing from my prayers and my praying habits and I didn’t know what it was. I began saying prayers with more comfort at the meetings but not praying on my own time. Then one day I read James 1:6 which says “But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.” My mouth almost dropped off my face. to be continued... There's a hologram sitting up on my wall.
Sitting invisibly inviting and peering out into the hall. It's on the wall that holds a picture of our lost ones. Some dead, some at rest. Some at peace, some I guess. are still here breathing But the dead will walk like we do At the nights end. Cuz I'm climbing a mountain and I'm higher than I've ever been. Chorus And you can't hear me Nor can you see me But I'm asking you to believe me When I say I'll be fine. So when the rain falls hard, I'll know that it's you. You've painted the sky a brighter shade of blue. Listen to the thunder as it starts to roar I try but it's to tough to ignore Just do not cry anymore. Well that's what you said to me. And you can't hear me. Nor can you see me, But I'm asking you to believe me. When I say I'll be fine. Hero
What's up in the world? Don't you know I've just got to be near you. When you're gone. I just feel so lost and I get so blue. I guess I'm gonna rack my brain to picture myself next to you. I wrote this song. About how I feel when you're not near, yeah, when you're gone. When you're not next to me. I guess I'll go on. and I'll hold this dream. And I'll hold how I feel. And I'll keep it real close to me. So I come to you in this time of need Wearing my heart on my sleeve Thinking of you endlessly. Cuz I j have one question for you. If I could only be. Could I be your hero. Staying strong, I come to you. On a day unlike any other day. I remember being there with you. And so I hold you tight and wait til you're in my arms again. You call upon me with grace. You cry on out as if you're coming out of your grave. The essence of my statement is I'm gonna make it up to you. I'm gonna come to you with grace. I'm gonna show you that I'm I feel no pain. and in the end, I'm gonna fly away on your wings. Follow me

Go ahead and check these artists out and hopefully it will bring some enjoyment into your lives! :)
Ben folds Jason Mraz - Dead End Eminem Elle king Rogue wave Jimi Hendrix Kings of Leon Julia michaels Miranda Lambert - greyhound bound for nowhere Rihanna Charlie puth Sia Beethoven This is a song I wrote that I have put to some music. I think there are a couple different melodies and chord progressions that I'm working with. But anyway, the song is geared towards helping to keep you in a positive state of mind. It just describes a few of the ways that I view things when I'm in a low mood or something stressful arises. Check it out.
Em C G When I'm feeling down I don't think about just me, I think about you too. I think about all the things I can do to lift you. Em C G Am Is there something I can do, something I can write, a simple way to show you. My love is all encompassing and so it starts to pour through. G When I'm feeling down I remember to take it easy on you. (I can always talk to you) Em I look at all that's around and feel calm when it's quiet too C G For this is when I'm greatest, and there's so much in a spoon. (You can do) Am When I'm feeling down I ask how can I best improve? (How can I best love you) E G G Am G Sometimes I'll even think back to my old self and relate. The days where love never escaped a single written page. Em F Em C All I've ever wanted is to prove my love is true. So I listen up with both my ears (intently) to everything coming through. C G Am G I just want to lift up the world. I have dreams, so I take them slow. I've learned time is of the essence on making the flowers grow. It's the small things in life that keep me going strong. Original: So I start by helping in small moments so they can grow into bigger ones. New 1: So I start by helping just a little so one day I can help a whole lot. New 2: So I start by lending a hand so they grow into bigger plans. E F Peace is what I'm about and love is too. I want to stop to take a moment to do something nice for you. The words they come out fast, but I am in no rush. When I'm down, instead of expecting the best, I predict the worst. Jam Em C G There's nothing you could do, to stop me from loving you. Something about those little things you do and creative ways you move. You've helped me come around, and you don't even know it. So now I sit in silence and I know this is where I can best be growing. It's time to come together to deliver a plot. Let's do something good and help out more people that we thought could ever have been expected. Cuz this life is but a blessing. And in the hard times if the worst occurred, at least I would have expected it. (It was expected) Written on 4/20 in pencil, this one is titled Thinking of You.
Thinking of You The distant moon fades away, I'm left thinking of you. The time it slips, I'm left astray, again thinking of you. If all the world were washed away, I'd still be thinking of you. So I gravitation towards the moon, and I'm here thinking of you. All the love in the world couldn't ever replace you. In awe, I'm struck by all there is as white mountains fade into view. The sky a sea of lilac a sea of colors splashed when the hand strikes noon. The windows no more and the house fades away, as I'm left thinking of you. When life it grips me and I’m alone with fear, I’m still thinking of you When the plot is formed but the well runs dry I’m tattered with thoughts of you When god appears but he does not call and I’m alone in a sea of blue My love it tends to ripple all the waves and I’m safe thinking of you. When there is no more love and the candle burns bright I’ll still be thinking of you When this life is no more and our god has moved on my words will reside in you So I’m left alone but I’m bright like the sun and I’m thinking only of you Let these memories live on when I’ve passed and gone cuz I’ll still be right here with you. This is a song titled Love for Jesus. I wrote it a few weeks ago and it is still a work in progress. I've started the lyrics with a scripture from Psalms, just as a form of acknowledgement for God or even prayer.
Psalm 20 For the director of music. A Psalm of David. 1 May the Lord answer you when you are in distress; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you. 2 May he send you help from the sanctuary and grant you support from Zio 3 May he remember all your sacrifices and accept your burnt offerings. C G Am F The love in all things floods me today Like the feelings of a radio wave When love is the conversation It leaves me feeling frozen again So my love for you is simply strengthening Like a backwards piece that slips off a table I just know when it lands it will be alright. So I squeeze and hold on tight. Chorus C G. Am. F For this love is mutual And I’ve found myself in you So I just want to prove it and show it to you Yeah I’ve found myself in you And it’s true there waiting on you And this congregation has gathered Because love has poured through (by you)for you I want to write a song, a song for you Because you’ve been there in my life through and through I don’t know how you do it but you always do I can’t even describe it’s just something you do It’s something like care like concern like guidance from above Your love leading me out of rivers that are mucky when I’m stuck I don’t feel so young anymore and I’m ready to commit A new chapter a new beginning something new where I won’t quit This isn’t just small this is bigger than myself Cuz I’ve felt my body burn, burn to the ground Your love is always there when nothing else is And that’s enough for me, in fact that completes my whole riff You’re all I’ll ever need and I’m so happy we’re in love I’ve fallen once again, I remember you driving me nuts I’ll don’t think I can ever explain exactly how I feel I’m just so thankful to be in a love that’s so explosive, so real. Hey everybody! I hope that everyone is doing well during these tough times! My thoughts and prayers are with all of you as we go through this and draw nearer to a conclusion and a solution to all of this. Hang in there as I've been thinking about all of you every day.
I've been writing some new poems and new melodies lately. I just wanted to share some of what I've written. I'll definitely be posting some new music soon and showing you guys what I've been working on. This one is titled, Midnight Blues and I wrote it only a few weeks ago. Midnight Blues So I sit, and I think of you. We plan our day and what we're going to do. Will I drift with the morning, well this is what I ask you. I just sit and I ponder, the midnight blues. So I've been washed by all of your love. My eyes break open, and I can't get up. There's freedom in the good old days, that is true. Those days we so gently sang, the midnight blues. So, I can't believe this love we're in. I wonder how many days until I get to see you again. TIl then, I'll just sit in the present moment. And wonder through this life, I don't ever want to end. So I think of we sang the midnight blues. Those days when God roamed, wanting nothing but you. He was there all along, under those starlit moons. Those nights when we sang the midnight blues. So I've been washed by all of your love. My eyes break open, and I can't get up. There's freedom in the good old days, that is true. Those days we so gently sang, the midnight blues. So I think of when we sang the midnight blues. Those days when God roamed, wanting nothing but you. Wanting to say, under those starlit moons. He was there all along, when we sang the midnight blues. |
