Poetic Inkwells and More

  Divine Threads by Clara Mitchell I was spiritually sewing today. I was able to thread a needle With my divine thread of inspiration. The eternal thread that keeps my poetry alive. Eternity is at work like a revelation. Whatever God gives has this promise. "The things which are not seen are eternal" "the things which are seen are temporal." (II Corinthians 4:18) This eternal thread of inspiration gives life. Each idea sown is born anew, (John 3:3) To open hearts and faith, Into prayer and supplications. While tying a knot in this new thread, I ask God about a new poem. I see that the end is already in process. The knot tells me that it will all tie together. (Romans 8:28) Each poem like a quilt of ideas. Each idea spreading across poetry lines. I stitch the words within the stanzas of thread. Until I feel the knot form that signals the end ahead...

In the last days, and prior to this time; many people are finding themselves isolated and set apart from others. The people are both Christian and non-Christian. I heard a sermon by Christine Caine where she was preaching about staying close to God and especially now as the days grow darker with evil. Her ability to bring home the image of this walk became quite clear as she said, "handcuff yourself to Jesus". I agree, and the idea was clear to help us all prepare for the darker days ahead. I have often felt like "a prisoner of the Lord." (Ephesians 4:1-4) "I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, 2With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love: 3Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling:" I wrote a poem in May of 2024 as I prepared and hope...

A poet lives in a world of words, That spills over into many tomorrows.  Each tomorrow becomes a new day  And the beat and meter go on.  The one at the table who spills the beans  Is an expression for sharing something hidden.  Those at the table gasp  And put their hands over their mouth.  Words carry power for good or evil.  I think about my words to God during the day. I think about my prayers to Him.  I never feel ignored.  I look for a dialogue to begin between God and me.  Having dialogue with God is the most pleasant of conversations. God listens as I share my heart.  I listen as God shares His heart-- Giving me a Psalm, a song, or scriptures.  At the end of our conversation,  God is still there if I decide to add more. Whenever I wake up or wherever I travel,  I can start the same conversation or begin a new dialogue. God is always there to listen  And console me with His great wisdom. I still need...

  A Time to Pray      by Clara Mitchell 4/13/2024 A missionary once said at a church service-- A church that isn't praying is playing. The end times are now evident. Launching prayer nets across the globe. The time is now to fervently pray. Fervent prayers "avail much". (James 5:16) King James Bible --Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. Souls, repentance, and restoration. Fruit will fill the face of the earth. Prayer seeds Love seeds and more providence will restore. From a poetic prophecy in Isaiah 27:6 Jacob (representing the people of Israel) will take root, blossom and fill the whole world with fruit. Instead of Jacob, Pray that our Prayers will take root, blossom and fill the whole world with fruit. This is how to pray with scriptures for current times, putting in names like Prayers, or even our own name...
