The Prophetic Word

August 8, 2016 by Richard Newton Sherrer Leave a Comment

I am as ready as always,
For reminding you all about;
Giving the Lord God our praise,
And never shedding any doubt.

All of it is unbiased news,
When you hear the prophetic Word;
It is not based on personal views,
Or gossip that someone has heard.

It is well-grounded in the truth,
In which you already have known;
Though blunt, not meant to be uncouth,
On everything God has shown.

As long as I am still alive,
It is always right to remind;
Knowing that Christ will soon arrive,
Make you see after being blind.

I am sure that I will die soon,
Our Lord Jesus has made it clear;
Maybe before the next full moon,
But I know that He will be near.

So I make every effort,
To see that you do not forget;
Christ will come to give you comfort,
So no need in starting to fret.

When I told you of His power,
And the coming of our Lord;
We do not know of the hour,
So let not the signs be ignored.

It is not myths or fairy tales,
No science fiction fantasy;
For every witness prevails,
With their own eyes that they can see.

When the voice was heard in the cloud,
People knew that it was not a joke;
All having heard it in the crowd,
As our majestic God spoke.

Because it was the beloved Son,
That the Father loved with delight;
Prepared with getting the job done,
In order for making things right.

Prophecy never came from man,
Rather it came from His Spirit;
That the Father gives through His plan,
On all that we shall inherit.

About Richard Newton Sherrer

Richard Sherrer is actually retired from the United States Air Force about 14 years ago. He had lived in Korea while in the Air Force in 1972 and 1973. You might be asking yourself what brought him back to Korea. I guess you could say that it was a lot of love here, for the country, the people and especially for a Christian woman that he met on the Internet. She convinced him to return to be with her. So he came originally to teach English in July of 2000. They were married July of 2001. Now turned poet which is subject that is near and dear to his heart. His love for Christ and God is an inspiration to all who read his poetry.

Faith Lived Close to the Land September 27, 2024
My dad eased his pickup truck along the rolling sidehill, tracing the curves in the rows of hay stretching before us, the steering wheel wandering beneath his hand. The afternoon sun was high and warm. We could have fallen asleep beneath its affectionate glow, were it an afternoon lazy enough to let our family rest. […]

Fasting Is A Good Thing. But For Some of Us, It’s Complicated. September 27, 2024
For a time when I was a child, I wanted nothing unless it was grilled cheese—without the bread. My loving parents accommodated me by placing a special order when we went to restaurants. Eventually, I became a vegetarian after making the connection between the animals I professed to love and what was on my plate. […]
