How are you going to tell the world that if they do not heed and embrace the word of God that we are all doomed? The only way is to read the words of author Deborah Simpson in this straightforward, true a… Continue

Funeral for the World

I wrote Funeral for the world on New Years Eve of 2008. I remember sitting in my bed dreaming that one day this world would end and I grew sad as I woke up thinking about all the people here on earth who are only living for themselves. I actually read the poem out loud to a crowd that same night right before the ball dropped. Funeral for the world is really a poem meant to grab your attention to help you take the focus off of the right now and put the focus on making preparat… Continue

Let There Be Peace Pg 5 Chosen Words by Suzanne Elizabeth Uzzell

Let there be peace in the valley, peace in the sea peace in the land between you and me. Let there be peace in our homes, schools and streets. Peace for our love ones and to all those we meet. Let peace ring loud for our children who are silenced by their fears. Let peace be the tissue that wipes away their tears. Let peace now grow strong and embrace us all. Let peace be the light that shines on us day and night. Suzanne Elizabeth Uzzell To read more poems you can visit http://ww… Continue

Your Word for the Consecration

God gives us commands to perform in the natural, though they seem foolish, do them! Follow His complete instructions as He spoke them, and believe by faith that those things that were held up in the spirit realm has to be loosed and set free and brought subject by your obedience to God. This is why we are learning discipline, to cause our flesh to come into alignment with the will of God for our life. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, spiritual wickedness i… Continue

No one listens to hacks like this. And for someone who is so "intolerant" he (or she) sure knows a hell of a lot about black comic superheroes.
