Paranoia About The Death Angel #IamMoses


*Jesus pray for me
*Moses pray for me

+--------Paranoia About The Death Angel; Moses's Thoughts While Holding His Wife
On The Night Of The Passover 

I tell my wife to clasp my hand,
Abel in Eden holding the hand of his
brother in disbelief bleeding,
and to close her eyes lest she
see death. I hear it in the blaring
winds, cold and fiendish,
beating against our panes and
howling… on this night the soul
of the world has turned pure evil. And
I swear I just saw the front door
ajar, though I know for sure I
fastened it. (Two red pupils behind
a black hood suspended ten feet in
the air cast me a long protracted stare
then vanish). I feel her quivering
when the Egyptian midwives start
wailing, apoplectically. I try to comfort
(us both) with whispers: “Trust the
blood on the doorposts, God told us
to trust the blood.”
 

---------------Exodus 12:21-33
Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the passover. And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the bason, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the bason; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning. For the Lord will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the Lord will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you. And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever. And it shall come to pass, when ye be come to the land which the Lord will give you, according as he hath promised, that ye shall keep this service. And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service? That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of the Lord's passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped. And the children of Israel went away, and did as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they. And it came to pass, that at midnight the Lord smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle. And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead. And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, and get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve the Lord, as ye have said. Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also. And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We be all dead men.

Steph Curry's Three Point Shot Of Jehoshaphat's Praise #TonyandSteph


*Jesus pray for me
*Jehoshaphat pray for me
#TonyandSteph

+--------"Steph Curry's Three Point Shot Of Jehoshaphat's Praise" 

Steph be not dismayed by the Memphis Grizzlies,
great men of Ammon and Moab tattooed
garishly, and pierced, who wield jumpshots
as jagged spears with corrugated tips, defensive
rebounding tenacity as iron shields thrust
forcefully into your chest beneath the rim. But let
your 3 point shot be hallowed praise sung before
basketball gods, your teammates Levites, children
of the Kohathites who, throwing assists, lie their
hearts prostrate on the ground, eyes closed
clinging to faith in the battle won. The tips of
your fingers are King, a holy leader of the ball’s
arc ascending and descending through the hoop
by you, like choirs' voices that rise and fall at your
command. If you play this way you need not
"fight" any battle – the Grizzlies will ravage
themselves, frustrated before the buzzer.
Your 71st win will be pilfering generous spoils
from a dejected team, dead bodies clumped
in clusters turned a town of ghosts shivering,
still aghast at the three ball even in the next life.

 
---------------2 Chronicles 20:14-29
Then upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, came the Spirit of the Lord in the midst of the congregation; And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the Lord unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's. To morrow go ye down against them: behold, they come up by the cliff of Ziz; and ye shall find them at the end of the brook, before the wilderness of Jeruel. Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the Lord will be with you. And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before the Lord, worshipping the Lord. And the Levites, of the children of the Kohathites, and of the children of the Korhites, stood up to praise the Lord God of Israel with a loud voice on high. And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the Lord your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper. And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the Lord, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the Lord; for his mercy endureth for ever. And when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten. For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to destroy another. And when Judah came toward the watch tower in the wilderness, they looked unto the multitude, and, behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and none escaped. And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take away the spoil of them, they found among them in abundance both riches with the dead bodies, and precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away: and they were three days in gathering of the spoil, it was so much. And on the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of Berachah; for there they blessed the Lord: therefore the name of the same place was called, The valley of Berachah, unto this day. Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat in the forefront of them, to go again to Jerusalem with joy; for the Lord had made them to rejoice over their enemies. And they came to Jerusalem with psalteries and harps and trumpets unto the house of the Lord. And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of those countries, when they had heard that the Lord fought against the enemies of Israel.

+--------Kendall Jenner You Are My Thunder

Kendall, my love for you is a burnt a
offering on a joyous altar. Whenever I see
you on the catwalk I want to #SLAY
the fatted calf of my heart’s desire,
blood zealous for your smooth
olive skin and raven hair drained from
the body before its smoked, ashes of
my longing spread on the ground
ritualistically, hopes of kissing
your soft lips rising in air as
pious black plumes. But sometimes
my loneliness interrupts, savage
band of Philistine marauders in pursuit-
Oh the scale armor and helmets of bronze!
They twirl sickle swords of despair and ride
in iron chariots of the cruelest heart break.
But babes, let your smile be a tempest,
your hug a squall flanked by dark clouds!
A date with you would be peals of thunder
to them, playing footsie, ear splitting earth-
bass-chaos scattering their intentions away
in fear! My hand in yours on #kuwtk would
be a great slaughter in Mizpah. (Land
of us marrying and never looking back).


---------------1 Samuel 7:10-12
While Samuel was sacrificing the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to engage Israel in battle. But that day the Lord thundered with loud thunder against the Philistines and threw them into such a panic that they were routed before the Israelites. The men of Israel rushed out of Mizpah and pursued the Philistines, slaughtering them along the way to a point below Beth Kar. Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen. He named it Ebenezer, saying, “Thus far the Lord has helped us

Baptism, Finally #IamJesus


* Jesus pray for me
* Matthew pray for me
* John pray for me
#IamJesus

+--------Baptism, Finally; Jesus' Thoughts As He Is Baptized By John In The Jordan River

Now I know fully a childhood interrupted
by dreams of waves rippling, any
notions of nondivinity back then hushed
by entrancing winds of Spirit tracing their tangible
fingers gently across my prepubescent
face at random. I'd always longed to press
footprints deep into the banks of the Jordan one day,
fossilizing the enthusiasm for memory, and now…
the time has come. I wade in. Something’s in
the water, something down deep…like great
expectations of a world fallen hoping to rise again.
After plunging and ascending, hand of the prophet
clenched about my wet scalp, the thunderous voice
from skies that seems all too familiar: “THIS
IS MY BELOVED SON IN WHOM I AM WELL
PLEASED.” It feels like reconnecting with
a Father from a past life, two worlds, as a man,
colliding.


----- Matthew 3:13-17 
Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him. And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased

Taylor Swift (With Your Kiss) Cast This Demonic Singleness Far From Me!!! #TaylorDateTony


* Jesus pray for me
* Matthew pray for me
* dedicated to #TaylorDateTony

+--------"Taylor Swift (With Your Kiss) Cast This Demonic Singleness Far From Me!!!"
Taylor my heart is a young boy
languishing before your Mending Gaze,
blue eyes like cerulean crystals hewn
from a slab at Mount Zion’s peak, golden
hair like the sun, lambent, that comforts
a remnant in Eden scarred from past trauma.
You see, prolonged loneliness is a psychosis
with fits of frenzy, when rejected by girls
I often plunge my emotions into pools
of mourning waters, or massive raging pits
of self-loathing fire. And no one else can
save, this perverse unbelieving loveless
female generation is just too feeble to satisfy
my romantic needs. Even now my desire
stands before you a father pleading
for a coffee date to heal his son: Oh babes,
just one soft kiss from your lips would
rebuke the demon - you and I at Starbucks
smiling, as if nothing bad ever happened.

-----Matthew 7:14-20
When they came to the crowd, a man approached Jesus and knelt before him. “Lord, have mercy on my son,” he said. “He has seizures and is suffering greatly. He often falls into the fire or into the water. I brought him to your disciples, but they could not heal him.” “You unbelieving and perverse generation,” Jesus replied, “how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy here to me.” Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy, and he was healed at that moment. Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?” He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”

A God Who Actually Speaks


* Jesus pray for me

#IamSamuel

+--------"A God Who Actually Speaks; Samuel's Thoughts In The Temple Upon Hearing  His Name In Darkness"

What if the spirit of your 
innermost desire was a wind…
exuding from your heart
so forcefully it overpowered the
wick, snuffing out flames in your
deep sleep, the pitch black
of night? Would you harken to soulish
mysteries of the deep baritone
of destiny pulling your consciousness
forth from nothingness into being…
an invitation to a divine purpose via
a convocation of enigmatic
languages repeatedly pronouncing
your name correctly, as if your ears
transcended two planes of being-
Heaven and then earth, celestial and
then terrestrial? Would you mistake
it all for a dream…or would you tempt
God with courage and respond….
“Here I am!!! Here I am!!!”?  


-----1 Samuel 3:1-10
And the child Samuel ministered unto the Lord before Eli. And the word of the Lord was precious in those days; there was no open vision. And it came to pass at that time, when Eli was laid down in his place, and his eyes began to wax dim, that he could not see; And ere the lamp of God went out in the temple of the Lord, where the ark of God was, and Samuel was laid down to sleep; That the Lord called Samuel: and he answered, Here am I. And he ran unto Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And he said, I called not; lie down again. And he went and lay down. And the Lord called yet again, Samuel. And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And he answered, I called not, my son; lie down again. Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, neither was the word of the Lord yet revealed unto him. And the Lord called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And Eli perceived that the Lord had called the child. Therefore Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, Lord; for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place. And the Lord came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth.

#IamTheProdigalSon

+--------In Way Over My Head; The Thoughts Of The Prodigal Son In A Pig Pen

When I first arrived here, life was a
shared opium/silphium dream,
the euphoric sweet smell of
friendships my wealth made like
the smoke of flower petals. Each
night….we huddled around the fire
laughing, howling, because we saw our
own morphed faces reflected back in a
shimmering moon. But then came the
soul piercing wailing of Carthaginian
babies sacrificed to an unknown god,
my mark of Cain’s conscience, innocent
blood accusing me from the ground of
watching yet not intervening. Next, the
famine that depleted the small fortune I
gave to gaunt kin, my erstwhile gang
of bawdy lowlifes refusing to repay.
Now I hunger and have nothing. My life
is but a depraved delusion of grandeur,
corn husks of smirking pigs I cannot eat.
Im sorry Dad, I left too soon, I knew not
what to do. I want to go home now.
I just wish I could start over, back home.  

---------------Luke 15:14-20
And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.
And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him. And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.

----Our World Is Grey Lyrics
I'm sure if you wanted to stop love,
You could just untie your end and let it go.
But, my God, you don't.
Yeah, I think I love you for it.

You're still sending cells to their rightful places,
When forming more likely to escape.
Such a narrow way of life.
What's it look like from your side?
From here I can't see why it's worth
One more coming out cursed?

Say it, say it!
Say what this is all for!
Say it's redemption.

'Cause our world is grey, world is grey.
We're just swaying from side to side.
Our world is grey, world is grey.
We are thieves and saints alike.
But you don't let go, don't let go.
We keep swaying and swaying.
And you don't let go, don't.
Yeah, I think I love you for it.

He's shooting god up in his arm through a needle.
And she's putting cuts on her legs to bleed out the devil.
"Surely you will not die, eat and be like God."
What have we done?

Say it, say it!
Say that this is all for redemption.

'Cause our world is grey, world is grey.
We're just swaying from side to side.
Our world is grey, world is grey.
We are thieves and saints alike.
But you don't let go, don't let go.
We keep swaying from side to side.
We all just sway, we all just sway.
But you don't let go, you don't.
You don't.
