As The Spirit Fills Poem by Bob Gotti
As The Spirit Fills
Verse by verse and line by line; The Spirit fills the heart and mind.
The Spirit moves on a scribe, to pen the words down deep inside.
God uses men to reach the world, with a message for us to herald.
Some may speak while other men, The Lord above uses their pen.
Apostles would speak The Word, and men believed as they heard.
It was God’s Word they received, that would lead them to believe.
As New Believers they would go, and share so others could know,
The saving Grace of Jesus Christ, so they too could have New Life.
As The Truth began to spread, many would use parchment instead.
And The Truth many would heed, from words that they would read.
Either way, God’s Truth we share, with all those for whom we care.
Allow The Spirit to move your heart, so God’s Truth we can impart.
My friend, God will use anyone, to share The Truth about His Son.
Using any form of communication, to reach the lost with Salvation.
Join the Apostles and Prophets of old, sharing Truth till all are told,
About The Lord and Savior above, sent to all by The Father’s Love.
God still moves upon men today, helping us with the words to say,
For me the verses seem to flow, while The Spirit helps me to grow.
As I write the words aren’t mine, for my source is above and Divine.
It is The Spirit who fills my pen, and to this friend, I just say Amen.

Hey Bob, you know how it’s usually the people with messed up lives that turn to Jesus and how happy people don’t feel the need to take Jesus very seriously? So this is what I was thinking. If you want to get happy, well-adjusted people to switch to Jesus, you first have to introduce strife into their lives. Like maybe you can get a doctor to tell them they have lung cancer. Then, when they’re feeling worried and depressed, you can walk in and start praying out loud, asking Jesus to “cure” the cancer. Later, when they find out they don’t have cancer, you can say Jesus cured them and the praying made it happen Sure, it’s deception. But if it turns them into believers, that’s more important than the truth. Besides, as far as deception goes, they were already deceiving themselves about their lives being good. Don’t non-believers who have good lives just drive you nuts?

In our stereotypical world believed to be ruled by Satan, I'd imagine he'd see after his own. But Bob, your hope in 'the spirit that fills' is a possession some would like nothing better than to subvert. It doesn't appear that will happen based on the words of your poem. Be encouraged.
