Alone with GOD

The compilation of poems you will be reading were written previous two, and during my 10-year incarceration. Purpose of this book is to expose the ignorance, mistakes, and bad choices that I made in life. The epitome of this book is as each poem was written it was a direct response to me from God, about my life. Ignorance now exposed is my understanding the voice within. That voice was and is the Holy Spirit trying to prevent me from experiencing the present time that I'm now doing. And I understood now that the voice was God himself speaking to me. I was so caught up in the world and all it had to offer I missed God speaking personally to me. God was extremely concerned about my drug addiction as you can read in the majority of poetry. I foolishly was led to believe that God gave me a gift to minister to young people through rapping gospel. The pursuit of fame and riches soon overwhelmed with superficial gift I thought was given to help others. Hopefully now as I sit in prison maybe this can minister to somebody, anybody. I just don't want anyone else to go 8 through what I have. When it is all said and done all I had to do was be obedient to the small inner voice that never tells you any wrong. We all know that voice, that particular voice cannot be misconstrued with any other voice in our head. That inner voice is our savior speaking to us. Trying to lead us to Mount Zion. God knows from birth that we cannot make it one block using our own site, we must have his guidance. Sadly, for me I knew it was him all along. I just didn't know where the information that was being spoken to me. Pride led me to believe that I was special in God's eyes, and he chose me to speak through. I found out sitting here in prison that I am special in God's eyes, but he was speaking to me, and not directing me to speak or minister to anyone else other than myself. God loves me so much that he gave me poetry through his Holy Spirit to get my attention period to stop the drug use and abuse among other sins that were controlling my life period since I did not listen to the voice, my sin and disobedience awarded me a 20-year sentence in prison. I pray that this compilation is of poems will open up the ears of 1 individual to hear the inner voice of the Holy Spirit. We all know his voice very well; it is distinctively different than any other voice. His voice will never lie to you or tell you something wrong. This voice is always there 9 at the right moment to discourage you from doing wrong, no matter what it is. This voice is always there after you've done the wrong to encourage you to feel bad about what you've done. Biblically is called conviction, which leads to repentance. So many things I could tell you about this inner voice that we all know that would help you identify it. The most important thing I will stress is to guarantee penalty of not listening to that inner voice. That penalty for me as a 20-year sentence in prison, for others maybe life in prison, for you it may be death. Please listen to the inner voice gently speaking to you. God bless you,
