Mike's Previous Pen

These were other poems Mike wrote in Couple's Nest, Volume 1, that I found very much a good reading material. Friends, I posted them here again for you who have not read them yet. I hope you like it. Here they are:

THE MORE...

The more you love God each day......

The more you show obedience and surrender to God each day......

The more you say with a truly humble, honest and contrite heart each day: "I love You Lord"......

The more you revere and honor Him each day......

The more you allow Him to give you humility each day......

The more you allow God to work in you and through you each day......

The more fire and desire you have in your heart for the Lord each day......

The more you thank God for ALL OF HIS BLESSINGS AND MERCIES that He gives you each day......

The more passion you have to follow Him and to be more like Him each day......

The more you pray to Him each day......

The more you read His HOLY WORD, the KJB, each day......

the more God will answer your prayers,
the more God will speak to you through His Word,
the more grace and mercy God will give to you each day,
and the more God will nurture you with His never-ending love.

JESUS CHRIST

J -------- is my joy and the joy of my salvation. He is my all in all, my one and only.

E -------- He is all I ever need. He means everything to me. He is excellent and His mercy endures forever.
S -------- I am His servant and I serve only one Master. He is the sweetness that I desire and crave for. He is the Son of God and He puts as song in my heart.
U -------- He understands me better than anyone on earth and He gives me unction.
S -------- His free gift of eternal salvation is just a call away. My Saviour who fulfills my needs, He saved me from hell and His condemnation.

C -------- I cast my cares on Him for He careth for me. He is compassionate and He is my comfort.
H -------- He is my high tower. When I am low, His arms lifts me high. I'll see Him soon in heaven. He hearkens to my voice in my time of desperate need and when I am truly humbled.
R -------- He is holy, just, and righteous. He restoreth my soul and He is my blessed Redeemer.
I -------- With Him nothing is impossible. I am His instrument for Him to use. I love Him because He first loved me.
S -------- His blood cleanses me from all sins. When I repent after I sin, He showers me with His blessings.
T -------- A taste of Him and you'll want more and more. I do. When I thirst, He fills me. He is truth.

What We Really Need Is An Earth-shattering Holy Ghost Awakening

..... all across our country and a wake-up call to every dead minister behind the pulpit.

..... to shake the foundations of every spiritually dead church.

..... to bring alive the weak-kneed, back-boneless so called man of God who does nothing for the glory of God, get him out of his heathen pride, and make him get busy for the Lord to win souls for Christ.

..... slap the back-sliden Christian to reality and bring him/her back to Jesus' arms.

..... for the Holy Spirit to convict all those prideful and black hearts, break their wickedness and open themselves up so that the glory of the Lord can shine in.

..... for the Christians to get right with God for the last time and live for Him till their death or till the Lord comes back in all His glory.

..... and offend everyone with the preaching of God's Word to humble them to their dirty knees and cry out, "Have mercy on me, dear Lord" with tears of repentance, then tears of joy as they accept Christ as their personal Saviour, whooooooooo.

..... to shatter and break the hearts of the rebellious reprobates, the hypocritical heathens and self-righteous mockers of God so that they may be convicted and saved to be with our Lord in heaven forever.

..... to make the new Christians know they are someone special to the Lord and realize they can be used mightily by the Lord if they are not and will not be swayed by the personal opinions of others when it comes to the WORD of God, His precious King James Bible.

..... to bring revival back here, to have God step down from heaven and put His hand and fire in each of us to serve Him more than what we do.

..... to keep us from mocking God by the other heathens’ perverted ungodly versions that are being used for the glory of man.

Useful To God In His Service

Friends, this is my own story...

Many times I ask myself how I can be useful to God in His service. I cannot speak well due to stroke that haunted me more than one year ago. I was half-way paralyzed – yes, immobile I really was! Now I can walk four and a little more blocks. That’s good enough, though I do not know if I could walk all over town Cantilan. But, I will one day!

My right hand (I thought it was a sad thing that I am right-handed) is still less functional and I can only move my arms and fingers in limited positions. This means I cannot write straight (I love writing), cannot eat with spoon and fork (I thought it was quite glamorous doing that), and cannot do every beautiful (and not-so-beautiful) things that my right hand did before.

“Can I really work for You, Lord, with my situation?” I often brought this desperate question to the Most High God in prayer. Serving God has always been my deepest desire even when I was healthy. He, of course, answered a sounding “yes!” In fact He even said that He would heal me. His word, through my King James Bible, told me so many times. At first, I was skeptical. I doubted Him and His word, but then I knew, deep in my heart, that when He promised, He will fulfill in due time. He will really heal me!

Now, I do not ask anymore what I can possibly do for God in His service. You see, Mike sent me from Canada hundreds of beautiful Christian tracts. I would station myself near my sister’s house (where I live), bring a plastic chair and give tracts to passersby. I do not have to speak much unless I am asked, but I give them my sweet smile. These people may not seriously consider my effort (they do accept the tracts because they probably pity me, haha), but I am very happy doing it. My limitations pave the way for simple-yet-effective “works” which I may not have done, due to other priorities, had I been healthy. Mike still sends me tracts from time to time.

Since I love writing very much, this is another thing I offer Him. I do not have to use my right hand for now. I have learned to type the computer keys with my “lovable” left hand, thanks to daily chats with Mike. Time will come that I will be using both hands better like a pro because of the trainings I have now. This is really a good exercise plus I still can continue writing!

With Mike, we made an effort to come up with a “blog” that will speak what God wants of us: preaching, sharing and telling more beautiful, heart-touching stories that God had put and will continue to put in our hearts through prose and poetry. This is the birth of Couple’s Nest. We only pray that God would touch your heart in the most special way that when you read our write-ups, you would still come back to read more and more.

There are lots of wonderful things to expect from God ahead as Mike and I will continue to be used by Him in very special ways regardless of my physical limitations. Mike is still there for me as he promised God, through thick and thin, for better or for worst, and beyond the times of soon-togetherness. I praise God for using me, for giving Mike, and for everything that He wants me doings and will be doing for Him in His service.

Sissy and Prissy

Luisa Wrote:

"The extreme side of us", that's what I call this piece of very good job Mike had written. I am posting it again to tell you, friends, that we all can change for the better. Here it is:



Sissy is a man who has long hair. 1 Cor.11:14

Prissy is a woman who has short hair. 1 Cor.11:15

Sissy is the man who rebels against what the Bible says about men having short hair, and not long.

Prissy is the woman who rebels against what the Bible says about women having long hair, and not short.

Sissy is the man behind the pulpit who never preaches, but licks up the fond words of the congregation to swell himself full of pride and to make him look good to himself and others. Prov.16:5

Prissy is for the woman to shave her head when she has no life threatening disease, that otherwise she would have to I.E. cancer.

Sissy is the man who calls himself a Christian, yet his hair looks like a mop and he refuses to do anything about it, he is a rebel of the devil and a sin to God.

Prissy is the woman who refuses to hear and believe what the Bible says about her, her attitude, her worldly ways, how she dresses, her hair, her liberal attitude, and her behavior around others. Check out Proverbs 31. A real woman is described in that chapter, and it is not the chapter for the foolish and contentious woman nor does it describe a worldly carnal lady, but a Christian woman. Read it and weep. Read also Prov. 9:13.

Sissy is the man whose hindsight is as blind as his foresight as he allows his wolf (wife) to dictate to him how their home should be run, instead of standing up; and living and being the Godly example to his wife that he needs to be. Eph. 5:22, 23

Prissy is the woman who thinks she knows it all and seduces men to get her own way. Look up Proverbs 9:13, ladies and get verrrrrry angry. Amen!

Sissy is the man who is full of pride and thinks he is a good and gracious man whom all adores and likes. Think again hypocrite. Check out Proverbs 13:10,16:5

Prissy is the woman who plays the harlot and at the same time thinks she is sweet and innocent of all wrongdoing. Read Prov. 7

Sissy is the man who claims to be Godly, his ways are the ways of self-righteousness, his thoughts are of good, and his tongue is pure. Check out Proverbs 16:27, wicked one.

Prissy is the woman whose heart is full of desire and wickedness as she plays on the emotions of men that destroys them.

Sissy is the man who speaks boastful and prideful things about others in front of them, then talks unkindly of them behind their backs later. Read this, Mr. Perfect. Proverbs 10:18

Prissy is the woman and Sissy is the man who is full of noise, acts foolish, can't keep quiet and who loves speaking all his or her mind, won't take long for that, will it minute or so? Read Proverbs 29:11. This scripture applies to both men and women.

Sissy is the man whose mouth is full of fire, blasphemy and cursing; and that doing that makes him a big man and important to himself. Your mouth is vile, malicious, evil, and abomination to the Lord. Read Exodus 20:7, Ps. 34:13, James 3:8. Same to you women, too.

Prissy is the woman who thinks she is called by God to preach. Really? Check this out, you liberated liberal. 1 Cor. 14:34, 35; 1 Tim. 2:11-15, and don't take these verses out of context which most do.

Sissy is the man who calls Jesus a liar saying he drank alcoholic wine, so you justify your own damnable drinking by taking out of context the verses that God condemns drinking? Fool. Read this. Prov. 20:1, 23:29-35, 31:4-7, Hab. 2:5, 15, 16.

Prissy is the woman who thinks the same above and never learns because she is too gullible to find these things out for herself, so she listens to some man or so-called minister who knows nothing. Read the verses above ladies. If you don't believe or get mad, that tells us all you have a liberal attitude and are probably a liberal Christian also, as you reject and deny what the Bible teaches on and preaches against such things. No one calls Jesus or God a liar and gets away with it. Rom. 3:4, Heb. 9:27
