His Correction Rod
©copyright 2006 Bonita M Quesinberry, R.C.
Christ's sheep are warriors on a spiritual battlefield,
where cannot be seen are the weapons we wield.
On Power's side we exchange blows with Principality,
whose missiles are felt in pained reality;
for Satan strikes body and heart to form a deadly deal,
determined to impress upon us death's seal.
Christ's soldiers do comprehend the power of words spoken;
understanding Truth is God's mighty token
while Lucifer's lies are his power of vile destruction;
thus, we bear only Word's sword for construction,
praying for the wicked and filthy to be awoken,
that they be not crushed: rather for Christ broken.
Send not away messengers of Truth from God,
for by their words they bear His correction rod
to turn you back from forever ash and sod.
In frantic rage, chthonian Devil will knock you down;
hoping to twist your mind and spin you around,
attempting to fill you up with his deceitful mind game:
be warned, he does it all in Jesus' good name
while singing a song to harps strumming a susurrus sound.
Beware, lest he hammers you into the ground.
His beautiful side does mimic the Light he hopes you buy;
though if you turn to follow it, flawed you cry.
God then will take away the power of His words from you,
putting upon you all the things of fear, too.
Be not deceived by Satan's illusive light on the fly,
for it brings on God's fire and you will twice die.
Turn not away messengers of Truth from God,
for by their words they bear His correction rod
to turn you back from forever ash and sod.

exceptional
Phenomenal penning mom!
Your talent for grabbing attention with the truth is beyond my realm of understanding at times! I must admit though some of the words on this one made me feel like I was on "Jeapordy" and loosing1 lol 
This truly is one of the best I've ever read by you! Not that they all aren't, but this one just made my spine tingle!
I love you so much!
Blessings and hugz,
Sandy,
P.S. Keep me in your prayers please... the hubby is talking about divorce. I don't think it will be real soon.... but inevitable none-the-less and I guess I have to move on with whatever direction the Lord choses to take me. I just hope I am able to see that clearly!
Love and hugz oxoxoxoxoxoxo -
You have done as you are commissioned by the Lord to do Bonnie, and done it well. There are those that will not respect the Laws ofthe Father and suffer the "rod" as you have bared witness. The Lord smiles on your continued efforts to sound the alarm, to alert the people. Heathens will not take heed. But we both know that God did not choose them, and they will never make the choice to ask Jesus into their hearts. (sigh) There is always hope. A God spent work here dear sister. There is the evidence of divine inspiration throughout these words. This one will give me peaceful rest for I know that the Lord loves me enough to chastise me like any loving Father would.
Intensity in TRUTH!
Much LOVE & Many Blessings ♥
Your Sister-In-Christ

I LOVE IT. Great write, and really like how you incorporated the two words. I don't think that "awoken" is a word, and there were a few times throughout this poem that I felt that the rythm was a little laborious, but overall, you did a wonderful job weaving and crafting this piece. I LOVED the message. esp.:
Be not deceived by Satan's illusive light on the fly,
for it brings on God's fire and you will twice die.
Turn not away messengers of Truth from God,
for by their words they bear His correction rod
to turn you back from forever ash and sod.
you really wham-bammed the ending on this one, and it was very powerful! GREAT JOB.

The rhyming does flow well in a number of areas... But other than that, I think you did a very good job. Good message, nice word usage, well written. Good job. Keep up the great work!

hmmm ... I found the graphic and the background too distracting, taking my focus off the words and meaning ... DJ
-
Great!
Very deep. It's very obvious you study the bible too.
Good work!!! -
I'm sorry- I can't comment on this. I'll send your points back to you.

THUNDEROUS!
Wow...I LOVE IT. It feels very much like a song in it's structure, form and power.
I miss you Mom! ♥

Wonderfully done. I love the way you weaved the two contest words into this important message. It always amazes me that people "turn ... away messagers of Truth from God" instead of embracing the light and love in His Truth. Well done and well-warned.
Love and hugs forever - joanne
