Brother Paul

by Jenny Wren

Paul's speech - demonstration of God's Holy Power
No wisdom's enticing words, in his darkest hour
Wisdom of this world that soon erodes to naught
Spoken, mystery hidden wisdom forever sought'


Not one Prince of the world, He had ever known
If Jesus, wasn’t crucified, Satan’s power not grown
Eye has no chance to see, nor any ears ever heard
A wisdom soon to be, fulfillment of God’s Word


God revealing to us , From His own Holy Spirit
Spirit search everything, if received, do not fear it
Words as people speak, are not words men teaches
Holy Spirit sometimes teaches pastors as he preaches'


Man can receive teachings from a Spirit of God
Words sound foolish to him, as thru' life they trod
Not one man knows them unless spiritually discerned
You see, words of wisdom, never bought or earned


Who on earth can know, the mind of a 'Living Lord'
God alone instructs him, with His own Holy Word
He lives spiritually, he can never be judged by man
Judged only by the Lord for whom he takes a stand'



quotes from Brother Paul, a great Disciple of God
wrote to Gentile followers who with God now trod
teach to listen closely, to that tiny, wee small voice
If we choose to hear it then becomes OUR choice...

Psalm22;
My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, so far from the words of my groaning? 2 O my God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer,by night, and am not silent. 3 Yet you are enthroned as the Holy One you are the praise of Israel. 4 In you our fathers put their trust; they trusted and you delivered them. 5 They cried to you and were saved; in you they trusted and were not disappointed.

praises in infirmities

You know Paul Had a 'thorn' in his side;
He also had Jesus living within him. You know Jesus had to hurt in his side when the sword pierced it, when he hung on the cross and died for man. I think Paul felt a small version of that pain Paul felt; it was a sticking reminder of the price Jesus paid for us.

God said my strength is sufficient, his was a reminder of what was paid for Paul’s (and our) soul (just as my dislocations are perfect reminders to me, the collapsed heart etc ,which burst when pierced, on Jesus, and this still makes me cry to think of this, Jesus paid a high cost for me and you.)


Can you associate your levels of suffering in this life time in your body?
It is a good thing that Jesus lived inside of us, also.
Can you see the dislocation of bones in Jesus body as he hung, on the cross. I can truly feel for him and my old heart is melted also.
I could not hardly read this, it made me see the body of Christ and how he suffered (now, our suffering is nothing compared to what he has done for us.)
I could feel his body as he hung suspended from the nails in his hands, oh how much he cared for mankind.

One day my feet were hurting really badly and without thinking I looked up at the picture of Jesus and said

''did your feet ever.................''
I stopped and there I felt ashamed of myself,
Knowing Jesus had suffered much more than I would ever suffer in my wildest imagination , no matter however I now hurt (and I have hurt, some big time pain. )

yes,Lord,
I will serve YOU, until I drop'
Jonah in the big fish, three days and nights ( like Jesus in the tomb.)..... three days and nights. I feel that; each of his children are to feel ''some''...... of what Jesus has suffered. for us, I do believe that the suffering can and does actually bring us closer to God, So now I can praise God and truly mean it, even when hurt, that was the only way to get through it.
