That which IS of the "I(ego,id,self,pride)" in me,
So IT IS i yearn, and to Our FATHER cry,
For deliverance from all that IS of the "I".
The "I", born of "imag"ination and selfish desire,
As lust, greed, and pride, stoked a consuming fire!
A fire burning out of control, as "I" leads the way,
It's smoke concealing the fleshly mind that leads one astray.
Yet even in the smoke, searing heat, and blindness of 'sight',
TRUTH can pierce that blackness of darkness, revealing "The Light"!
And nothing can hide from "The Light", so "Light" reveals the "I(ego,id,self,pride)",
Allowing a soul to "see" clearly! And clearly the "I" must die!
Yet to live, yet die, seems an impossible task,
And so we need of "Our FATHER", the impossible to ask.
Help me to "deny(Die to "I"{ego,id,self,pride}!) myself" FATHER!
And as HE Helps, HE reveals evermore of "The Selfless One".......
The One who testified, "i can do nothing of my own self"! (John 5:19,30; 8:28-29; 7:16; 12:49-50; 14:10,23-24; 17:8,14) http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2014/10/the-messiah-testified-i-can-do-nothing.html
The One Who leads His brethren(naturally male or 'fe'male) on "The Narrow Way" that IS "The Way(TO), The TRUTH(OF) of The Life! (Matthew 7:14, John 14:6)
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/03/because-of-pagan-catholicism-and-her.html
The One Who IS The Messiah, "The Only Begotten Son of The ONE and ONLY TRUE LIVING ELOHIM('God' IS of pagan greek mythology!) and FATHER(CREATOR) of ALL"! (Matthew 16:16, John 3:16; 20:17)
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2009/08/one-and-only-true-g-d-fathercreator-of.html
The Messiah, "The Beginning of The Creation of Our FATHER and ELOHIM"! "The True Light that enlightens every man born into the world"! (Genesis 1:3, Revelations 3:14, John 1:9)
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/02/the-messiah-beginning-of-creation-of.html
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2012/08/the-word-of-god-let-there-be-light.html
And as Mahatma Gandhi testified, so i also testify, "i like your christ(Messiah!), but not your christians! Your christians are so unlike your christ"....... And i believe in his latter years Mahatma Gandhi saw "The Light" that IS The Messiah, and he then sought and desired to follow The Messiah on that "Narrow Way" that IS "The Way(TO), The TRUTH(OF) The Life"....... (John 3:18, Matthew 7:14, John 14:6)
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/03/because-of-pagan-catholicism-and-her.html
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-treasures-of-simple-and-spiritual.html
And as The Messiah, His brethren(naturally male or 'fe'male) also seek and desire above all else:
"FATHER(CREATOR), not my("I",ego,id,self,pride)will, But THY Will Be Done"! (Luke 22:42)
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/07/father-not-my-will-but-thy-will-be-done.html
The poetic testimony, which i received and bore witness of at the beginning of this post, was begun in the Copper Canyon area of Creel, Chih, Mexico in '93. A time when i sought to live and experience evermore of a simple and Spiritual Life(Cuttin' wood, carryin' water, and packin' burro's)! i departed from Mexico after a fifteen month stay, yet i returned to Mexico in August of '04. http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2014/05/a-simple-and-spiritual-life.html
Then on 1/26/05 the poetic testimony above was completed, and 'completion(Thankfully the end of this, natural, fleshly, temporal life!)' IS near for each and every soul! (James 4:14)
Thankfully so for "the poor and needy" "Born Again" soul's who but seek and desire to do "The Will and Good Pleasure of "Our FATHER and ELOHIM"! (Psalms 70:5; 72:13, I Peter 1:23, John 3:3,7; 20:17, I John 3:1-2)
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2020/04/i-realized-miraculous-born-again.html#more
Because we have REALized "I(ego,id,self,pride)" can't! (John 5:19,30; 8:28-29)
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2014/10/the-messiah-testified-i-can-do-nothing.html
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/11/my-prayer-father-help-and-he-does.html
The very breath(Spirit/air) that sustains this natural life reveals such unto a "Born Again" soul!
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2020/04/i-realized-miraculous-born-again.html#more
HalleluYAH!
And Thankfully, the brethren(naturally male or 'fe'male) of The Messiah, those "aliens and pilgrims while on the earth", look forward to that day when we receive that final breath(Spirit/air), and are "Set Free, Free indeed" from our natural, temporal, fleshly bodies! (Hebrews 11:13, I Peter 2:11, John 8:32-36)
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/06/are-you-alien-and-pilgrim-while-on-earth.html
Translated, "corruptible to incorruptible" indeed and TRUTH! (I Corinthians 15:53-54)
Thankfully Home, Home at last....... (John 14:2-3)
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/01/home-home-at-last-john-141-3.html
"Set Free" from the "I(ego,id,self,pride)" that evermore seeks to lead a soul along that "broad way to destruction" and perdition! (John 8:32-36, Proverbs 3:5-6, Matthew 7:13, Hebrews 3:12)
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2009/07/simply-progress-so-called-is-destroying.html
"Set Free! Free indeed......." (John 8:36)
!.......FOREVER.......!
All Thanks and Praise Be Unto "Our FATHER and ELOHIM"! (John 20:17)
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/09/our-father-and-god-john-2017.html
And while there IS breath(Spirit/air), there IS hope many will "see",
"see" the "I(ego,id,self,pride)" for what IT IS, and then desire to be set free!
And The SPIRIT that IS Our FATHER and ELOHIM; That Holy, Set Apart, SPIRIT that was IN The Messiah and also IS in His brethren(naturally male or 'fe'male), can "set you Free, Free indeed"! (John 4:24; 8:32-36) http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/10/being-set-free-from-materialism-and.html
For TRUTH IS! and Miracles do happen.......
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2013/07/miracles-faith-receiving-love-of-truth.html
So Hope IS there would be those souls who experience The Miracle that IS receiving "a love of The TRUTH so that they might be saved" from their own self("I",ego,id,pride)life! For if they abide in The TRUTH they will one day 'see' "The Light" that IS The Messiah! "The Light" which clearly reveals that The Life IS of The SPIRIT(Not seen with the natural eye!), and most certainly not of the flesh or fleshly mind("I",ego,id,self,pride)! (II Thessalonians 2:10-13, Genesis 1:3, John 1:9; 6:63)

http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2012/08/the-word-of-god-let-there-be-light.html
And TRUTH IS! Each and every breath(Spirit/air) a soul receives should reveal the source of Life!
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/04/you-that-are-unable-to-do-least-why-do.html
And as Mahatma Gandhi testified, so IT IS "There IS no GOD higher than TRUTH"!
For "The Only TRUE ELOHIM", HE IS The ELOHIM OF TRUTH! (John 17:3, Psalms 31:5, Isaiah 65:16)
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2009/08/one-and-only-true-g-d-fathercreator-of.html
And once again, for that which IS of The TRUTH always bears repeating: Unless a soul receives "a love of The TRUTH they can not be saved" from their own self("I",ego,id,pride)life! (II Thessalonians 2:10-13)
Thankfully those souls who have experienced The Miracle that IS receiving "a love of The TRUTH so that we might be saved", and then were "Born Again" of The Holy, Set Apart, SPIRIT! We evermore REALize, that liken unto The Messiah, so also "i can do nothing of my own self("I", ego, id, pride)! (II Thessalonians 2:10-13, John 3:3, 7; 5:19,30; 8:28-29; 7:16; 12:49-50; 14:10,23-24; 17:8,14, I Peter 1:23)

http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2014/10/the-messiah-testified-i-can-do-nothing.html
And TRUTH IS! "Our FATHER", HE knows what IS best for HIS children(HIS Creation and Family)!
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2011/07/family-of-faith-or-system-of-religion.html
So IT IS we "cry unto Our FATHER and ELOHIM day and night"....... (Luke 18:7, John 20:17)
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/09/our-father-and-god-john-2017.html
Continually sounding and resounding a Declaration of Dependence:
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2014/04/the-declaration-of-dependence.html
FATHER Help!
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2013/01/is-there-name-or-title-greater-than.html
HE DID! and HE does.......
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2014/09/father-help-and-he-does.html
HalleluYAH!
!.......FOREVER.......!
So Thankfully, "The Peace that surpasses ALL understanding" - IS - ! In spite of the dis-ease(No-Peace!) that IS of 'D'evil's world and/or religion's way(Except it be The Active Faith as revealed in James 1:27!) in these last days! (Philippians 4:7, John 14:27; 7:7, I John 2:15-17;5:19, James 1:27; 4:4)

"TRUTH - IS - that which Truly Matters, for apart from The TRUTH, What - IS - ?
In TRUTH, Thankfully Peace - IS - and Miracles Do Happen!
So The Faithful rejoice! For soon and very soon, Home! Home at last....... (Luke 16:1-14, John 14:1-3)
ALL Thanks and Praise Be Unto Our FATHER(ELOHIM{"god" -IS- of pagan greek and catholic/christian mythology!}, TRUTH, SPIRIT, CREATOR, LORD, MASTER, LIGHT, LOVE, LIFE,,,, ALL IN ALL that which IS Truly GOOD)! (John 20:17; 14:28, Mark 10:18)
HalleluYAH! !.......FOREVER.......!
At this moment in time i Thankfully remain but "an alien and pilgrim while on the earth" (Hebrews 11:13, I Peter 2:11). And a return to the simplicity that IS rural mexico would be welcomed! And if i ever receive that which IS needful so that i might communicate fluently in Spanish, seems i would most certainly return....... However, i REALize that in all things, at all times, it needs be "FATHER, not my will, But THY Will Be Done"! (Luke 22:42, Proverbs 3:5-6)
http://asimpleandspirituallife.blogspot.com/2015/06/are-you-alien-and-pilgrim-while-on-earth.html
Was looking for some inspiration for my spiritual walk. Googled "I must die" and your poem came up. I am grateful to see that the Spirit is leading others to this place, but am anxious that I cannot give up this body of death. At times I feel as though I'm being dragged, kicking and screaming. His word and thoughts of Holiness are like a purging fire from which I have no hiding place. I guess that we can only trust that He is able to do that which He has said He will do, but at times I waver and doubt, as I look upon my own wretchedness.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your thoughts.
Blessing in His name.
"googled 'I must die'"!
ReplyDeleteYES!
HalleluYAH!
But to live, yet die, seems an impossible task,
And so we need of "Our Father", the impossible to ask.
Help me to "deny myself(die to "I",ego,id,self,pride)" Father!
Your comment brought a welcomed tear to my eye!
Father Help! and HE does.......
Was hoping you had a blog, and am now hoping that soon Our Father, HE will give you the unction to share that which you have "seen(experienced) and heard(received).
For i would very much like to hear your testimonies.
Peace, in spite of the dis-ease(no-peace) that is of this wicked world and it's systems of religion....... francis
