FLAMES DENIED

 Here's a little share of my poem which I wrote today.

Why I wrote this, I have no idea but I felt compelled and I listen when God's nudges become prods. 😜

It may have something to do with a couple of demons which were hanging on my curtain when I woke up on Tuesday. They seemed to be taunting me until I rebuked them and told them to leave in Jesus' name. They snarled as they fled out through the window. This happened once before when I had a pulmonary embolism and started to die (I was  in hospital at the time and I've had seven of those attacks, usually with multiple emboli). An horrific looking demon face, dripping blood, came at me from the wall in front of me. I couldn't move or speak so in my mind I shouted at it that it could have my body but my soul belonged to Jesus and always would. It slowly started to dissipate and then, in a flash of black and red, it was gone.These demons weren't of the same intensity (probably more mischievous looking) but I absolutely do not want them anywhere near me.

I can't understand being attacked by demons. I'm honestly not a very good Christian, although I do try. Quite disconcerting. 🙏🏻😛🙏🏻

So all that simply to say. I wrote a poem today. 🤣😘❤

FLAMES DENIED

We’re Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego

And although our story is seldom told

Through our love for our Holy Father

We remain joined soul to soul

We’re Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego

Three guys on a mission for Yahweh, our Holy God

Teaching people that God still gives freely of his Grace

Yet simultaneously wields his powerful rod

We’re Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego

Leading the charge for God even through bad to worst

We were shunned by many as we took our God-stance

Teaching our people how to love and put God first

We’re Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego

Teaching that when you put our God first

He knows you and then He puts you first

In each and everything that you do

We’re Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego

Who refused to bow to worship Nebuchadnezzar

In his fury the king raged that we were to die

By flames reaching up to sun, moon and star

We’re Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego

Loyal to God to what we thought was our end

When the flames started first at our feet

Our hands and feet bound so we could not bend

We’re Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego

We looked at one another, stood close and closed our eyes

We prayed together, gave our lives once more to our God

As we awaited our fate and our untimely demise

We’re Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego

We allowed our hearts to chant our love

Then stared in awe as a mighty miracle occurred

When we were joined by one from above

We’re Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego

We watched the fire rage until those stoking the flame

Dropped to their knees and died in vain

Calling out King Nebuchadnezzar’s name

We’re Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego

Now loosed from our bonds we remained calm

As the flames burst all around us

Yet did not touch us nor did us harm

We’re Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego

We prayed as we waited for the flames to die

We deftly jumped from the pyre as people screamed

God showed His love with power that no one could deny

We’re Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego

Our faithfulness and love for our God

Saved not only us but many others too

When the king declared Yahweh as the one true God

We’re Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego

Take our lives as your life lesson

Revere God our Father and bow to no man

Then God will bless you from this day on
