I have recently launched K.O.R.E. online ministry as GOD has called me to be a pastor. I’m following the LORD trusting HIM to work in and through my life to bring GOD the FATHER glory, honor, and praise in JESUS’ name… I plan to write messages weekly and post mostly on Saturdays. I have written 2 messages one from last week and one for this week. My hope and prayer is that you will be inspired to grow in faith, hope, and love in your walk with Christ… I especially want to reach out to those who don’t have a church home. K.O.R.E. exists for those who are dealing with depression, experiencing mental illness, having suicidal thoughts, have attempted suicide in the past, dealing with oppression, feeling like an outcast, facing health challenges, and/or just feeling overwhelmed in life… If anyone needs prayer, support, and encouragement feel free to reach out to me anytime… I will personally respond to you in a timely manner… Come by and visit the website and give me some feedback, leave a prayer request, or express your interest to get involved: K.O.R.E.

Where darkness pervades all around
Stay where the Light cascades be still in HIS renown
Until sun’s rays fades the black
Dawn of a new day lays foundation in covenant contact

Mercy

When you’re ready, you will trust in GOD again… you have that choice, you own that decision only you can make, you have the will to empower trust in HIM whenever you want to practice it…
Trust is a heart and soul thing that grows after you set your mind to begin the endeavor again… You can learn to trust in HIM with moments (like your move to a new place) and choose to trust HIM for healing (like your lifelong journey through trauma/abuse to triumph/astounding) whenever you want… When you fall back to not trusting, from that low point and helpless perspective; you can once again look up in trust to your Heavenly FATHER who gives good gifts and wants to love and care for you… You may choose to trust in moments or a daily decision through prayer (prayer is turning to HIM in trust) and pouring out your heart (through talking to HIM out loud, quietly inside, or writing it out)…
You’re loved and cared for not matter what… You’ll get to know/relearn HIS love and care as you decide to trust when you choose to… I am proud of you when you choose to reach out to those weak in need of love and care… In your weakness, JESUS is strong… Being there for them in being who you are matters and is doing good despite what you may feel or think about yourself… You are showing faith in action; doing GOD’s will in doing HIS Word:
Psalm 41
1 Blessed are those who have regard for the weak;
the Lord delivers them in times of trouble.
2 The Lord protects and preserves them—
they are counted among the blessed in the land—
he does not give them over to the desire of their foes.
3 The Lord sustains them on their sickbed
and restores them from their bed of illness.
verse 1 “regard for the weak”; for me the orphans, for you may be anyone weak you reach out to (orphans, special needs children/adults, homeless, abused and neglected souls, widows/widowers, or elderly)
Focus on these Words above and let it become one of your life verses/life mantra…
These verses helped me hang on, believe and trust, and reach out and one day HE answered these promises in my own life… These awesome Words came true through HIM and through me, for me, and in me… I still cannot fathom the turn-around in my life because of JESUS the Living and active Word bringing this about and GOD the FATHER’s mercy and compassion for me…
Look carefully and choose to believe and trust for these to be your benefits as well:
1) delivers them in times of trouble
2) protects and preserves them / does not give them over to the desire of their foes (who want to steal, kill, or destroy; suicide)
3) restores them from their bed of illness (physically or emotionally or mentally or socially or spiritually; for me all 5)
If HE did it for me; I know HE will do it for you… Why? because HE is true to HIS Word and desires to be faithful in a person’s life
When? in HIS timing; so difficult to wait I know (took years for me) maybe for you quicker than my experience
How? in small and grand ways along the journey; sometimes miraculously
Who? you (for you do have regard for the weak)
Where? inside you
I know I went through what I went through to be a help/support to others weaker… This is ultimately the outcome from what I didn’t think was fair, what I didn’t understand, why I was abandoned, why I was often alone in my trauma and not knowing why GOD wasn’t there bringing me through like I knew HE could; why it wasn’t right a way – yet waited for me to learn mercy and compassion at the core of who I am now… HE took me through the depths of darkness to reach out to anybody now with profound faith, hope, and love… with confidence in HIM and who HE is and what I now know HE can/will do…
Much of my trauma was self-inflicted (so full of guilt and shame) from turning away from GOD in rebellious youthful sin and desires being as lost as one can be. Yet I turned to HIM and HE still answered me… me? why me? why HE didn’t abandon me further? why did HE not leave me in my sin? HIS love is greater than anyone can know or fathom… Now I live to show HIS love I know and continue to attempt to fathom… If I didn’t learn through painful depths to know HIS love, mercy, and compassion; then how would I know HIM as HE is and learn that I could reach those who may be in need… HE will choose and use the weak and unlearned to profound the strong and wise… There is so much darkness and cruelty in this world. HE takes some of us through trauma and darkness so we can be a light that shines in it as HE rescues precious children, men, and women that need HIM… sometimes to reveal what HIS love is through us… We choose to pray for and be there present and intercede for them because we know… we understand… we will stand for them… we will choose to love… we will choose purity… we will love purely… Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see GOD (Matthew 5:8)…
You’re not a failure… You’re more than a conqueror through HIM who gives you strength… When you are weak come to HIM for rest… When you can’t do it anymore, wait on HIM for renewed strength… HE is faithful to HIS Word even when we are not…
Oh and let’s look at Psalm 41 vs. 4
I said, “Have mercy on me, Lord;
heal me, for I have sinned against you.”
What if we have sinned in some way!! Well I asked the LORD for mercy and to heal me of course… And so, HE healed me… me… and you?… you too!!!…
Ok! So you just got the wave from HIS ocean that was building within me to reach the shore of those needing mercy that will also be a blog post for my website that I have been wanting to write on Psalm 41 for a long, long while… I wrote this for you for sure; yet it is also for anyone else needing encouragement as well…
Reminisce

I reminisce…
Fight back; persistence -found to be free
Temptations attack; resistance -found purity
No slack; repentance -found mercy
Take flak; admittance -found family
Have a knack; HIS assistance -found empathy
Back on track; insistence -found grace aplenty
Heavy load unpack; outdistance -found eternity
No more lack; coexistence -found love fully
If it weren’t for the LORD to reminisce…
I would have torn apart; ripped in pieces -so haunter makes remiss unsound into self-pity
What would be left if my soul deceases -no longer exist sound silenced empty
You rescued me in perfect love so fear ceases -daunter desist sound heart accept privily
You lighten burdens as Your peace increases -stronger to resist sound mind kept reassuringly
You’re the Giver of new life leases -song astir to persist sound spirit leapt freely
From our chains and our prisons You pardon releases -from wrongs turn away with grace assist sound joyfully adept with purpose and vision equipped fittingly
You Delivered
Posted: February 4, 2018 in courage, direction, encourage, Freedom, future, guidance, Hope, inspiration, Jesus, Love, mental illness, mercy, new lifeTags: encouragement, Help, inspiration, Jesus, new life, support
You delivered me from my sin and shame
You delivered me from my guilts horrid stain
You delivered me from Satan’s stalking my soul to claim
You delivered me from a dungeon locked in chains
You delivered me from outer darkness and blackness void inside left alone and lame
You delivered me from schizophrenia’s refrain
You delivered me from loss when others turned away
You delivered me from loneliness setting me in a family in Your time and way
You delivered me from homelessness where I’d suffer and never gain
You delivered me from an early grave
You delivered me from those whose intentions would be to maim
You delivered me from fear to make me brave
You delivered me my soul to save
You delivered me for new life now to crave
You delivered me as I give You thanks, about You will always rave, giving You all the glory, honor, and praise
You delivered me with the Life You gave
You delivered me to no longer go so far off when I used to stray
You delivered me to stand in the gap and pray
You delivered me to walk with You day by day
You delivered me with a willingness to now obey
You delivered me that for You and with You always stay
You delivered me in love from heights, depths, widths, breadths to great lengths no one would understand how far You came and the efforts You made that are beyond what words can ever say

If I were the rain
I’d wash away the pain
I’d refill your cup with Living Water to sustain
I’d take on your sadness to add to mine to drain away from your soul for new growth to gain and for happiness to maintain until full joy can remain
If I were the snow
I’d remind you of forgiveness, whiter inside, to know
I’d cover over your focused on faults and fears so you would continue to grow
I’d melt away the negative thoughts that onward into a hope and a future you’d go
If I were the sky
I’d have the clouds say I love you as they pass by
I’d be your hope in endless blue so you’d never have to cry
I’d hold your desires in full view, not to wonder why they don’t come true, until you rise above to grasp them from on high
If I were a mountain tall
I’d be the steps to reach the sky for your desires to be more easily and quickly reached, for you not to think impossible, moving gradually upward so you wouldn’t fall
I’d send from above, into your valley whenever you’re stuck, to look again above with a life giving echoing call
I’d stand strong and secure as a place you can always return for comfort never left in suicidal disarray to nervously and hesitantly stall
If I were the sun
I’d send my light to the deepest part of your spirit inside to feel acceptance never to shun
I’d light the path to make clear your purpose and vision for which to run
I’d supply the warmth of faith to fill you inside to keep going until you’ve won the race and hear well done
If I were the moon
I’d reflect a brighter smile all the while so you knew you brought me joy in the day before lying down in safety’s sleeping soon
I’d reflect the flip side angry face that scares away the evil no longer to be traced, to slow down one’s pace, to not feel you have to act in haste or that life’s a waste, never to feel any doom
I’d reflect comforting soft light preparing you for the next day with grace’s refueling boon
If I were the stars
I’d sparkle in such a way to connect the dots making sense of who you are
I’d show you’re nearer to God and others never alone or subpar; guiding your eyes to look above so you’re no longer hiding or straying away into darkness so far away into what the world mars
I’d remind you always of knowing your place in the universe despite the scars
If I were the ocean
I’d send into your heart mercy and compassion foregoing the commotion
I’d send wave after wave of healing for your soul to restore in never ending motion
I’d send you treasures from deep within onto your shoreline just because you’re loved and valuable to remind you of the eternal notion
If I were a river
I’d flow into your heart peace that will rescue and from all fears deliver
I’d flow inside your heart as the wondrous dream come true giver
I’d flow alongside your life so you’d never feel alone or quiver
If I were a lake
I’d surround you with peace whenever you needed a break
I’d let you let go of the stress like rocks thrown and skipped across what you can no longer take
I’d be there to see your reflection to bounce back hope come awake beyond the heartache
If I were me
I’d write in such a way you’d see into love’s mystery
I’d say the right words that made a positive difference in you for eternity
I’d be there for you encouraging and supporting you no matter your history
If you believed
you’d get more than you can think, ask, or imagine to receive
you’d live life letting go of suicidal ideation for the greater miracle you still will be
you’d no longer give in to the lies that deceive; living in and with a love greater than you can now conceive
If only you…
If only…
If…
If
If is not the end…
What if it’s a new beginning…
I’d cheer you on…
You’d…

Whispers atop the waters won’t stop coming to my ears
Carried across waves surging urging prayer, toss into strumming my heart to hear
Cries riding the four winds out of hiding are deafening, not lessening
Whys collides with Your promises and realities confide to intercede with their pleas for Your help and hope to receive through what’s pressing
Shouts echo nights skies of my fellow brothers and sisters bellows deep within to high above to me below
Stars silence twinkling sounds their tears revealing darknesses abuses that surround life alive dwindling, remembering those imprisoned, uplift to FATHER GOD for love’s rekindling to know and grow freed when let go from those evil who harm HE will overthrow
Mental Illness

What’s your mental illness?
Find HIM in the stillness
Draw near and HE draws near to bless
with willingness…
if you ask… -to give relief from grief and break chains that have you bound from outward stress
if you seek… -to find refreshing from fears threshing all around distress
if you knock… -to open the door to restore from agitations that drown and inward press
HE will soon provide your soul’s needed rest
To persevere in prayer for healing from anxieties that oppress
To make it up and out, through to the other side of darkness
To find hope and purpose arise from under life’s duress
Within HIS reach is peace of a sound mind to once again possess
Within HIS reach is peace of a pure heart to once again find more love rather than less and less
Within HIS reach is peace of a restored soul to once again enter into the light of the living acquiesce
Within HIS reach is a peace of a free spirit to once again soar from the nest awaiting Heaven’s address
So delight yourself in the LORD holding onto HIS rope of 3 chord strand not easily broken to stay out of that prison that arrests
For more of HIM move toward with trusting openness
HE will give the desires of your heart as a reward in being HIS invited guest becoming a part of HIS family into relational oneness with adoption’s kindness
You’re more than a conqueror in Christ whose blood for you outpoured for all of who you are with all your mess, a valuable treasure, HE did purchase
You’re worth not giving up on so wait on the LORD and implore for HIS help in your depression, press on… press on… no longer suppress what you want and need to express and confess; all of you HE accepts
For HIM to renew strength on HIS eagle’s wings to soar above the darkness to bring HIS Light and Love to those below with HIS Presence offering that same forgiveness, acceptance, and healing’s essence
Hear HIS mighty roar resonance remembering HE fights your battles in the war uplifting you out of death’s sentence
Suicide; Not God’s Heart
Posted: February 21, 2015 in PoemsTags: compassion, encouragement, faith, forgiveness, gift, Gods heart, grace, Hope, Life, Love, mercy, Suicide, support
Suicide; Not God’s Heart
Suicide is not My intent, abundant life I desire to give
Died on a cross did My Son I sent, to believe and receive forgiveness and grace in order to live
JESUS is risen overcoming sin and death to intercede, never to leave you or be forsken
A hope and a future in being set free, vision and purpose conceived in being awakened
As far as the east is to the west, so far has HE removed our transgressions from us
For the least and all the rest, who holds lives and everything together in being the Faithful One we can trust
Come to the throne of grace in time of need, to receive mercy and grace HE will impart
Delight yourself in the LORD indeed, and you will be given the desires of your heart
Will you trust ME with your pain?
I’m the One who took your sin’s stains and shame…
Will you trust ME with your heart ache?
I created you and are not a mistake
Will you hold on to My promises that set you free?
Let me strengthen you as you wait with faith to just believe
Will you love the One who first loved you?
I knew you before you were and your times are in My hands, so I will work all
things for your good in making all things new…
Will you hold on to ME?
And the height, width, depth, and breadth of My love to one day see…
Will you let me comfort you in your suffering?
I daily bear your burdens and will be a constant in life’s buffering…
Will you turn to ME for healing rather than what the world offers that’s temporarily appealing?
Let ME fill you with My peace and joy to overflowing past inadequate feelings and give back more than the enemy was stealing
