What Reality Are We Walking In?
A poem by Derrick Rhayn
Inspired by the Holy Spirit
March 11, 2020
 
Today is a new day. Wake up!
The powers that be tell us to stay inside
Wash our hands
Enjoy a day off
On us,
But we stand in opposition,
Knowing there’s more to the story
Than some silly flu bug whose kill rate is less 
Than 2.5%
Rather we stand in awe
At the sheer gullibility of humanity
As fear descends
To you I say this:
Wake up!
 
Enjoy the day
A summer like breeze
Like never before
Like you actually appreciate life
For the gift of God that it is
Experience life anew
Freshly sprouting leaves sing praises
And flowers call Him by name Jesus
He stands atop of the mountain
Awaiting His Father’s direction
Awaiting the command
To set the captive free
Which technically He’s already done
Which technically you didn’t deserve
None of us did,
That’s just God’s love
Found seeping in John 3:16
Found waiting at the door
Inviting you deeper into who you were created to be,
Loved and adored.
 
Yes, I say to you this day
Celebrate
Awake and celebrate
As the fall leaf falling gently to the ground causes the seed of sorrow to turn in your heart
So thus the spring leaf brings forth new life.
The invitation to go from death to life
Beckons us all
To celebrate
I say celebrate
For our Father is near
And His glory guards our rear
For when we see this day for what it is
We see it for what it’s not:
A day to recede.
But rather a day to celebrate
For God is nearing us
Drawing us out of the darkness
And gently calling us into the Light
 
But now if you forget these things
And draw yourself indeed back to the new reality TV show
The search for the last roll
That’s your choice
And fear will rule you
But those who have woke to the devil and his scheme
We say no!
We have not been given a spirit of fear
But of power and love and a sound mind
And this time we known we’re one
Because it is written for us to stand strong in that day
That we shall not fall
Because we have victory.
Awake and ascend
And let your yes be yes
And your no be no
For in the valley of the shadow of darkness
Is One who knows
Who’s in control
Who knows how and why and when
You will stand up and sing
“I celebrate today!”

2 Corinthians (NKJV)

17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
