that he may abide with you for ever. Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. - John 14:16-19 �  � IT'S LATER THAN YOU THINK � The second coming of Jesus is imminent, Earth�s time draweth near the close, Man should be seeking His Saviour, and witnessing to his foes. Man has said, �there is no Creator�, Who do you choose to believe? The voice of man, or the voice of HIM who Created you and me? � Satan is working overtime, he knows his time is short, He seeks our areas of weakness, to establish a good rapport. And in his dire rampage, his dominion and his sect, Will never cease to capture, or fool the very elect. � We see his labors here and there, All signs are in earth�s view, And every time disaster strikes, we say, �It�s nothing new�. True Saints are drawing closer, to God with each new day, While weaklings are departing the faith and going astray. � We read in Paul�s charge to Timothy, Chapter four, verses one and two, The latter times he spoke about, Are here for me and you. In Second Timothy, chapter three, verse one, we read more of the same, So search the Scriptures daily, You�ll find that life�s no game. � Paul tells us of Jesus� coming, in First Thessalonians, chapter four, Read verses thirteen through eighteen, and run the references for more. Many signs now follow the pattern, of Noah�s time, found in God�s Word, So there�ll not be a one without excuse, As there are none who haven�t heard. � They may not have read it for themselves, but all will have heard it preached, To the ends of the earth, through our Mission fields, Every soul that has life will be reached All those of you who read this poem, take heed and don�t delay, Prepare yourselves for the REDEEMER, that�s soon to come any day. � � Copyright: Waneta L. Snell Written 04-17-78 � � LUKEWARM CHRISTAINS � Many Christians today are sleeping, what a shame! They ought to be witnessing for Jesus, Praising His name. They should be reading, searching the Scriptures each day, Praying down on their knees, in the Old Fashioned way. � Seeking and searching God�s Will for their life, Drawing nearer to God in this world of strife. Thinking an hour on Sunday will do, Quenching the Spirit, and glued to the pew. � Satan has got them bound by the tongue, Chained them in silence from the old to the young. When it�s time to give testimony, they�re dumb and can�t speak, For Satan has got them all chained to their seat. � If he can keep them from claiming the Lord, He will also keep them from reading God�s Word. Christians, it�s time to break Satan�s hold, Pray that the Lord will make you be bold. � But prayer must come from a heart that�s sincere, For this most surely, is a prayer God will hear. We�re living now in perilous times When people tale claim unto Satan�s chimes; He makles all things look good, in his own sly way, Convinces them, there�s no harm in the things of today. � People, Wake up! Recognize Satan�s trap, And cleanse your heart from this bunch of crap! Take a look in the mirror, What�s there in your face? The image of God, or of sin and disgrace? Should Jesus come now, for His Bride clean and pure, Does this qualify you? Of this are you sure? � � Copyright: Waneta L. Snell Written 10-18-80 � � REDEMPTION DAY � What a beautiful thought I am thinking, Concerning that great Redemption Day When my Lord comes descending from heaven, In the clouds to take his church away. The dead in Christ will all go before us, And we�ll rise to meet them in the air. On this day we�ll all be changed in an instant, when we join all our loved ones over there. � There�ll never be no pain, no more crying, All former things will then have passed away. And there�ll be no more heartaches and dying, For life will all be new in every way. New heaven and new earth will last forever, He tells us of this in His Word, It�s a promise that we all can count on, Tis the best news that we ever heard. � I can hardly wait to enter that City, And I�m looking forward to Redemption Day, When I see Jesus in the clouds of heaven, coming for to carry me away. Taking flight , in an instant, defy gravity, and land on streets of pure gold. Walls of Jasper and a sea clear as crystal, gates of pearl and many things we are told. � Like lightening I�ll be gone in an instant, And no time to say good-by, I won�t care what I�ve left behind me, As upward and upward I fly. I�m so homesick to go to that City, I�m looking forward to Redemption Day What a beautiful thought I am thinking, When from this world I�ll be carried away. � � Copyright: Waneta L. Snell Written 08-24-83 � � REDEMPTION'S STORY � What a sad thought I an thinking, Concerning the great Judgment Day, When my Lord comes descending from Heaven, In the clouds to take His church away. All the people will cry for a shelter, when they see the brightness of His face. The dead in Christ will rise and go forth, to meet in that Heavenly place. � Satan�s people will be left a burning, in the flames of Hell�s consuming fire, The sinners will pray to God a yearning But God will not answer their cry Now God has commanded no sinning, He tells us that He�ll cleanse the earth, He speaks with omnipotent power, His plan is to give us New Birth. � The world will not hasten to hear Him, Their pleasures are hard to give up, But when that Great Judgment Day comes upon them, t�will be too late to dine from Jesus� cup A thousand years will the saints rein with Jesus, for Satan will be bound to tempt no more Earth will be like the garden of Eden, with perfect peace and contentment as before.. In Heaven there�ll be no more pain, no more crying, For all the former things have passed away, And there�ll be no more heartaches or dying, For life will all be new in every way. Then the new heaven and earth will endure forever, For God I know doth keep His Holy Word, He has never, ever broken a promise, all my life these are the words that I have heard. � � Copyright: Waneta L. Snell Written September 1949 � � BACKSLIDING � Oh, you can�t backslide and get by, For God keeps watch from on high He knows how we�re living, each hour of the day, There�s no valid excuse if we choose the wrong way. Sometimes we may stumble, sometimes we may fall, He�s there to lift us when on Him we call. We may choose to stay down and wollow in sin, Or we can get on our knees and call out to him. His arm is outstretched, and he offers His hand, He�ll give us His strength to once again stand. God�s children are given a roadmap and guide, And Jesus our Saviour walks by our side. If you have grown cold and backslidden in Sin, Conformed to the world and forgotten Him, Do you think you are safe in forsaking the Lord? I�ve got news for you, it�s found in God�s Word, I beg of you before it�s too late, Repent of your Sins, For Death holds your fate. � � Copyright: Waneta L.
