      SOLDIER

      Eventhough I get sorely tested by trials; deep inside of me my refrain is:

      If I didn’t have this battle to contend with, I would have nothing to fight right now.

      I think I’m on my way to becoming a real soldier for Christ!

      DEDICATION

      Thank You Holy Spirit for giving me this gift and calling. Thank You God for my family, church, enemies, friends, peers and pets. Thank You Jesus for getting me through all of my tests.

      Chapter One

      Motivation/Self-Improvement Poems

      THE FRUIT

      What did Eve give Adam, to eat in Eden? Did you get the name of that fruit?

      There was nothing printed, about an apple; what was written was; they overstepped God’s Truth.

      The apple was applied to King David; when he was a mere shepherd boy.

      It is written; he attracted the Eye of God; and from that fact; he was selected, quite unexpected; as king he was employed.

      No, the fruit in the garden, you or I can’t identify.

      But, through speculation, and some revelation; I believe God gave me, His Fruit to clarify.

      You don’t have to agree; what God has given to me, albeit helped my Christian growth.

      At the end of the Book; the same Tree that gives Life, is the same Tree that began in Gen 3.

      The Tree at the End; and the Tree from Gen 3; hold the same Fruit; from Calvary’s Tree!

      You see… Christ hang as Fruit; from Calvary’s Tree; to set mankind free.

      And the Holy Spirit is known for His Fruit. You can’t see the Spirit of God as you are.

      We’re invited to eat the Word of God; to taste and see, how sweet to our heart.

      How can you eat the intangible? Something… that you can not see?

      That same way that Adam, was duped by poor Eve.

      You eat; by reading, digesting, and applying the Word.

      Just as they did. By reading, digesting and applying the Word; from the Tree of Good and Evil information; along with the Knowledge, that’s hid.

      They had no reason to step into sin! Everything prepared for them; would be pure till the end.

      There was no purpose to divide, right from wrong.

      Because, all was good; that came from above; from the Father of Lights, they belonged!

      Only part of the revelation I share; is what God told me to spare. The rest I’ll keep until; He tells me to give as He wills.

      But be reassured; this gets pretty deep. It’s not for the skeptics and not for the weak.

      Fruit that’s unripened, should not be ate. The fruit that is rotten; comes from that old snake.

      And the ripened Fruit; comes straight from the Vine! It’s strong meat we eat; as Christian’s in prime.

      Come… sit at my table and eat from the Tree. It will open your eyes; just like Adam and Eve’s.

      What you need to know; is that after you do; you’ll need a Savior, as we did too.

      When we digest and apply; fruit: unripened, ripened, and rotten; from Life’s Tree, as we live;

      What we learned
