God Will Meet You There

God will meet you there
In that secret place of prayer.
He’ll reach down from on high
And hear the humble cry.

You will encounter Him
And from the weight of sin
You will be freed at last!
The Savior’s love is vast!

Take that daring leap.
Your life will be complete
When in that special place
You meet God face-to-face!

-- Charity Lacroix, girl, 15 yrs old

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?"

Worth My Praise

Lord, always keep me humble
In all you have me do.
Help me not to stumble
But give the praise You’re due.

I’d rather wait till later
To reap my sure reward.
For You are always greater,
My everlasting Lord!

The good that people see
Is only found in You.
And all the flesh is me.
The honor I refuse.

When I think of who You are,
You’re always worth my praise,
That You would even go so far
As to use this jar of clay.

I'll Follow You

My future, my life, You hold in Your hands.
You are in control of all of my plans.
When I’m in the center of Your grand design,
A peace that surpasses all knowledge I find.

Through doors that You’ve opened You tell me to go.
But if I’m to stay, Lord, You let me know.
You guide me along and do not mislead.
Wherever I go, You have met every need.

Some days can be hectic, with no time to spare,
Yet throughout it all, You’re always right there.
And whatever it is that You want me to do,
Because You know best, then I’ll follow You.

The Hunter and the Hunted

The devil’s on a mission
There is a goal he’s set.
He wants the lives of Christians
Who aren’t committed yet.

All along the way
He does the best he can
To turn each one away
From Christ, the Son of Man.

Sometimes he will succeed
In bringing one to hell.
But when God intercedes,
His plans do not go well.

He sees the doors shut tight
Within a true believer.
They’re clothed in holy light,
Revolting the deceiver.

They’re armored with the Cross
And following God’s ways.
Jesus is their Boss,
So satan turns away.

For someone else he’ll search.
He’s in a raging mood.
He hates the Lord, the Church.
He’s hunting down his food.

Charity Lacroix, girl, age 15  

Scriptural basis for the poem:

"Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour." (1Pe 5:8)

"Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you." (Jas 4:7)

God Will Help Us

God is strength.
God is power.
He can help us
Any hour!

Any time He is there;
Any time or anywhere;
He will help us overcome.
Any time, He will come.

God is good, God is mighty.
He's more powerful than the lightning.

God can help us.
He is strong.
He can help us.
Short or long.

-- C.R., boy, age 8

Scriptures:
"God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble." (Psa 46:1)

"Hear, O LORD, and be gracious to me; O LORD, be my helper." (Psa 30:10)

"Behold, God is my helper; The Lord is the sustainer of my soul." (Psa 54:4)

"For he will deliver the needy when he cries for help, The afflicted also, and him who has no helper." (Psa 72:12)

"I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever; that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you." (Joh 14:16-17)

Nothing Will Separate

 No trouble can be found

Where you are on your own,
Left bleeding on the ground,
Forsaken and alone.

The hardships that you face,
The dangers or the sword,
No time, nor depth, nor space
Can keep you from the Lord.

Throughout the fiery flames,
The testing of the heart,
His love will still remain
And grace will not depart.

Do not fear any man,
Nor what may lie ahead,
For you are in God’s hand,
So fear the Judge instead.

Charity Lacroix, girl, age 14   

Scriptural basis for the poem:

"What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."  (Rom 8:31-39, NASB)

"I say to you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that have no more that they can do. But I will warn you whom to fear: fear the One who, after He has killed, has authority to cast into hell; yes, I tell you, fear Him!" (Luk 12:4-5)

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.
