The Midnight Hour

The clock has struck the midnight hour.
God is on His Judgment Seat.
As Christ is coming in His power,
This time for Him is bittersweet.

God’s righteous anger burns in Him.
No longer will He tolerate
The game the world has played with sin.
Their time is up, the hour’s late.

As earth is shifting, shaking, reeling,
Man attempts to soothe their fears.
But empty hopes, though flesh-appealing,
End in grief and many tears.

Hear the trumpet fill the skies!
The Bridegroom on His snow-white horse
Bids His radiant Bride, “Arise!”
In glory He will gallop forth.

If there was time in Paradise
It would have ended long ago.
Two thousand years and now the Christ
Will take His Bride and wrath will flow. 

-- Charity, girl, age 15

Do You Want to Know Him?
If you want to know Jesus personally, you can. It all begins when you repent and believe in Jesus.  Do you know what God's Word, the Bible says?

“Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.’” (Mar 1:14b-15).  He preached that we must repent and believe.

Please see my explanation of this in my post called "Do You Want to Know Jesus?"

Judgment of Babylon

God is judging Babylon,
For she is filled with pride.
Instead of turning back to Him,
His Word she has defied.

In her hand she holds the cup
Of her adulteries.
This Mother of the Prostitutes
Has made the Lord displeased.

Her mouth is filled with wickedness
And darkness is her cloak.
Her heart has turned to other gods.
The Lover is provoked.

God simply has no other choice,
So judgment falls like rain.
Because she learns not through His words,
Then she must learn through pain.

This land’s no longer of the free.
With sin it is defiled.
Now God must judge America,
The great, rebellious child.

-- Charity Lacroix, girl, age 14    

My daughter, Charity Lacroix, wrote this poem on March 25, 2013.  It's meant to be Part One to another poem she wrote previously, called America, Turn Back to God.  She is of the opinion that America is the Babylon of Revelation 17 and 18, which God is now going to judge.

My daughter is not the only one who believes this.  There are many who do, like Texe Marrs, which he writes about on his website.

Another man named, Dumitru Duduman, who was a Romanian evangelist that immigrated to America, received an angelic visitation in which he was told America is Babylon. In his book, Dreams and Visions From God, he answered the question, "Why did God name America Mystery Babylon?"  He wrote the answer he was given by God in 1984:  "Tell them, because all the nations of the world immigrated to America with their own gods and were not stopped. Encouraged by the freedom here, the wickedness began to increase.  Later on, even though America was established as a Christian nation, the American people began to follow the strange gods that the immigrants had brought in, and also turned their backs on the God who had built and prospered this country." You can also read a transcript of the angelic visitation in which he was told how America would fall.

Whether Texe Marrs and Dumitru Duduman have really heard from God will soon become evident to all.

Use Your Talents

Now that eternity nears,
The Kingdom of heaven will be
Like a man who called his servants
Before he left on a journey.

Who entrusted his property to
Each of the servants he owned,
And gave each one man some talents
Kindness the servants were shown.

Then the man went on his way,
And the servant with talents of five
Made due with the little he had
And through his wise actions he thrived.

The others did likewise as well,
Reaching the ultimate goal
But the servant who got one talent,
He buried it deep in a hole.

He did not use what he received
And so when the master came back
The talent he had was retrieved
Instead of gaining, he still lacked.

But the master was pleased with the ones
Who used the talents they had
He invited the servants to share
In his happiness, for he was glad.

And the servant with one talent,
The one with the least of them all,
His talent was given away
He wasn’t faithful with the small.

That servant was wicked and lazy
His master’s trust he could not keep
So he was thrown into darkness
Where there will be gnashing of teeth.

Jesus told this parable
And from this lesson we must learn,
That the talents He has given us
Must be well-used in return.

-- Charity Lacroix, age 14

The Sheep and the Goats

When the Son of Man comes in His glory
With all His angels to escort,
He will sit on His heavenly throne
The sheep and the goats He will sort.

He will put the goats off to His left
And the sheep will be placed on His right
Then the King will begin by judging
Those found righteous in His sight.

He will bless them and tell them to take
Their inheritance that’s truly theirs
This is the Kingdom of God
In the King’s joy will the sheep share.

For whenever He was thirsty,
With a drink they quenched His thirst.
And whenever He was sick,
Back to good health He was nursed

Whenever the King was a stranger,
He was always invited inside.
Whenever He was in prison,
Their faces they did not hide.

The righteous will not remember
Doing any of these things
But truly, these acts of love
Were all done unto the King.

Whatever they did to the least,
They did to their Lord, Jesus Christ.
Staying true every step of the way,
No matter how great the price.

But the goats disregarded the poor,
The sickly, the strangers, the hurt
And they never knew it was the Lord
They treated no better than the dirt.

So all those unrighteous people,
To eternal flames they will be damned.
But the sheep will all live with their King,
Those unwavering at His command.

At the Crossroads

You walk up to the crossroads
To the intersection
Now you have a choice
Between sin and perfection

All creation waits
For you to make that move
This is not a game
Though you could win or lose

Your heart thumps wildly,
Drumming in your ears
You see a danger sign
Just as you had feared

It blocks the road that’s wide
The one that seems to have
A power of its own
This flesh-appealing path

Finally, you decide
To take the wider road
Forget about the sign
You just want to go

As you take those steps
You quickly glance behind
Seeing the brighter path
A thought just comes to mind

You’re before the Throne
On that Judgment Day
God welcomes many people
Others are cast away

Then God looks at you
He says you disobeyed
There’s nothing He can do
You chose the wrong way

Knowing what comes next
You shake out of your thoughts
Having thought enough
You won’t fight with God

Now your choice is easy
You’ll just spare your soul
From judgment yet to come
By doing what you’re told

As you step onto
The path prepared for you
You feel right then and there
That’s what you are to do

-- Charity Lacroix, girl, age 14
