Josh’s Psalm
2/3/2010
Oh God, save me from myself, help me look within.
Cleanse me of deceit and the vices of fellow men.
Damn this cursed hypocrisy, damn this heart of sin.
Where repentance is shown only when caught, but never again.
Renew my mind and save this wretched Soul, that’s my constant prayer.
For in your arms are rest and peace, of which you freely share.
Peace I desire above all else for this tortured Soul,
And rest is such a luxury I rarely find.
And I may not be as old as other men are, and definitely not as wise,
But I have come away with some knowledge from the world and all its lies.
One thing I have found in this dreary world, this life cannot be saved.
You either die the victor, or you live to become a slave.
For Christ is freedom of mind and Soul, He is the Lord of Hosts.
And you must be first dead to this world, and surrender to the Holy Ghost.

My wish is to leave a Legacy of myself, and to reach out to that unknown mission field callled the Internet, and to all those who, either by choice or force, hide from those who could help them.

The "I" Must Die!
In as much as i can 'see',
That which is of the 'I' in me,
So it is i yearn, and to Our Father cry,
For deliverance from all that is of the 'I'.
The 'I', born of "imag"ination and selfish desire,
As lust, greed, and pride, stoked a consuming fire ;-(
A fire burning out of control, as 'I' leads the way,
It's smoke concealing the fleshly mind that leads one astray ;-(
Yet even in the smoke, searing heat, and blindness of 'sight',
Truth can pierce the blackness of darkness, revealing "The Light"!
And nothing can hide from "The Light", so "Light" reveals the "I",
Allowing one to "see" clearly, and clearly the "I" must die!
But to live, yet die, seems an impossible task,
And so we need of "Our Father", the impossible to ask.
Help me to "deny myself(die to self)(die to 'I')" Father!
And as HE Helps, HE reveals more and more of "The Selfless One", The One Who leads His Brethren on "The Way to The Truth of The Life". He Who was, and is The Messiah, The Son of The Only True G-D, Father(Creator) of ALL!
And as The Messiah desired above all else, so also will His Brethren desire above all else, "Father, not my will, But THY Will Be Done".......
The poem above was begun in Creel, Chih, Mexico in '92, a time when i sought to live and experience a simple and spiritual life and it was there that i received and embraced Simplicity. Left Mexico in '93, yet returned in '04. Then on 1/26/05 the poem was completed, and 'completion' is near for each and every one of us. And for "the poor and needy", those "aliens and pilgrims while on the earth" whose "citizenship is in Heaven", thankfully so.......
Home, Home at last!
Translated, "corruptible to incorruptible" indeed and Truth.......
Forever free from The "I".......
All Thanks, Praise and Glory Be Unto "Our Father".......
And while there is breath(spirit) there is hope many will "see",
"see" The "I" for what it is, and then desire to be set free!
And that Spirit that was in The Messiah shall "set you free, free indeed"!
So, There Is Hope!
For Miracles do happen.......
Hope is there would be those who experience The Miracle that is receiving "a love of The Truth" for they will "see" The Light that is The Messiah, they will "see" that The Life is of The Spirit(not seen with the natural eye), and most certainly not of the flesh or fleshly mind("I").......
Peace, in spite of the dis-ease(darkness) that is of this world and it's systems of religion, for "the WHOLE world is under the control of the evil one"(1Jn5:19) indeed and Truth.......
Truth IS, a lie never was and is not.......
Abide in Truth.......
(Returned to this place called the u.s. of a. in June of '05, yet a return to the simplicity that is rural Mexico would be welcomed, however, i realize that in all things it must be "Father(Creator) not my will, But THY Will Be Done.......)
