Does anyone know where I can find a quick tutorial online on the basics
of KJV English grammar?  I have of late been poetically inspired to
write a few poems in this dialect, though I would like to check to see
whether my compositions are grammatically correct.

thanks in advance.

Doubt

When black stark grief,

Sudden and without warning,

Strikes at our lives,

Lays waste to our finer emotions,

Seeks to dull or minds

And stop our hearts from beating,

That's when we doubt.

But why doubt, when God is still above us,

Ready to shelter us, and with His love protect us,

From the viler things of life.

That would molest us,

Even from the grief that is,

Almost our undoing,

Why should we doubt!

MEV (my Great Grandmother)

What is a hero?, some people might say,
One who saves lives, or takes away pain,
One who gives of himself, places others above,
His own earthly needs, and does it for love,
What is a hero?, other people might say,
One who extends his hand, one that saves the day,
One who's heart goes out, to reach those in need,
No matter what the cost, to perform this selfless deed,
But what is a hero?, to this I will say,
It is my lord and savior, to whom I pray,
Jesus is my hero, for he has saved my soul,
With his death on calgery, this was his heavenly goal,
So with this thought, I can say, your a hero to me,
For in you, my savior Jesus, this do I see,
His love and his grace, pour from you for mankind,
And this is what our lord's word said, would be a sign,
Of the ones who love him.

Farewell my friend, but not farewell,
What do I know of our tomorrows?,
Our lives held securly in our lord's hands,
But still inside I feel this sorrow,
Will we meet again in this brief life?,
Our hands clasped in brotherly love,
Our savior knows, in whom we trust,
If not here, it will be up above,
So farewell my friend, bu not farewell,
For there is one thing we have topether,
The love of our father and our savior above,
With this love we will worship our God forever.

What shall I compare the to?,
A warm summers day,
Not a cloud in the sky,
With a slight gentle breeze,
But the day will pass on by,
A lilly of the field,
In which God has clothed,
But it is here today,
And tomorrow no more,
What shall I compare thee to?,
A refreshing drink of water,
With a glacieral birth,
Running down a high mountian stream,
But again I will thirst,
A wonderful dream,
Teasing me in the night,
But that too will end,
Come the morning light,
What shall I compare thee to?,
One of God's great gifts,
Of two becomming one,
Both of us together,
With the father and the son,
Visitors in this world,
That will soon pass awqay,
Into a wonderful new kingdom,
And a dawning new day,
This will I compare thee to.

I started another poetry blog:

I am in service to the Father and Christ to bring forth the Truth to
light. Together with my sisters of the Light of Life Ministry we have
a very important message to deliver to all of mankind.

The hourglass is nearly empty. The Great Tribulation has begun.
There are a total of TWO things that you need in order to obtain
Eternal Life and Man-Made Religion is not one of them. (1) A Good
Heart Condition. (2) An Acceptance of Christ as Lord and Savior.

We urge those who wish to obtain Eternal Life in Christ's Kingdom to
read the following very important message:
http://www.lightoflifeministry.com

For additional End Times information also visit:
http://www.EndTimesTruths.com

And for Free End Times Newsletters visit:
http://stores.lulu.com/endtimestruths

We don't aim to twist arms or convince anyone of anything they aren't
ready or willing to believe as their hearts will ultimately dictate
what they perceive to be truth. However, it is also our responsibility
to warn those who do not accept this Truth, will face Judgment at
Armageddon. For this reason we pray that the eyes and hearts of all
who read our message are opened to the Truth whether that is now, or
in the near future when our words come to pass.

OUR MESSAGE OF TRUTH

The main theme of our Message of Truth is that those who wish to have
eternal life must declare Jesus Christ to be Lord and Savior. This
must be done in order to be one with His coming Kingdom.

We realize that many will challenge our faith and the faith of others
who also declare Jesus to be Lord. They will say that we must meet
certain requirements of water baptism, a belief in the Trinity and
other man-made religious ideals. If those people are of some positive
energy, they will see the Light. If not, they will remain opposed to
what is ministered to them. That is their Free Will choice. Even if
they claim to be foot-step followers of Christ, they will be deemed
not worthy of Salvation unless they exhibit the Holy Spirit from
within them. If they believe falsehoods about Christ, cling to their
man-made religious belief systems and exhibit no signs of positive
energy, they will be marked accordingly by the Cherubic Order of
Angels. All people are judged by what is really in their hearts.

As part of our Ministry to those that oppose the Truth, we point out
that a humble heart is the only thing that saves anyone. Without it,
you are endowed with negative energy. What your heart is filled with
is what springs forth with abundance from the mouth. Luke 6:45 is
clear on this point:

A good man produces good out of the good storeroom of his heart. An
evil man produces evil out of the evil storeroom, for his mouth speaks
from the overflow of the heart.

Proverbs 4:23 is clear on the need to safeguard your heart against the
wickedness of negative energy being stored there:

Guard your heart above all else, for it is the source of life.

By knowing and understanding the Truth of the Word, you treasure up
within your hearts that of positive energy. That's what guides you
(the Holy Spirit - Positive energy) so that you do not sin knowingly
against Christ or his Father.

I have treasured Your word in my heart so that I may not sin against
You. Psalms 119:11.

The problem with sin is that it cultivates negative energy. From the
mind where it begins or originates, it creeps down into your heart.
Then you're in trouble. That's why it's not a sin to think a bad
thought, if you dismiss it. You did not act on it. Therefore, it is
not a sin. But if you dwell on the wrong thought, it will creep on
down into your heart and become a part of you. So, above all else,
safeguard your hearts.

WHAT ABOUT WATER BAPTISM?

It is not necessary to be baptized in water to be saved. Jesus Christ
was the forerunner. In Christ's Ministry, baptism in water was used to
anoint him by his Father. It was continued by his disciples, because
he had not yet ascended to Heaven, and had not yet received the
Kingdom Authority that would later be bestowed upon him by his Father
Yahweh. Once that had been fully accomplished, the Light of Truth
became the baptism via the Light of Christ. The Savior's instructions
given at Matthew 28:19-20, you see the baptism it speaks of is a
baptism of Holy Spirit.

Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in
the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching
them to observe everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am
with you always, to the end of the age.

This takes place when one truly comes to understand the Father of
Jesus Christ and accept Him as Truth. Water is no longer necessary to
be sanctified. The purpose of baptism before Christ was to symbolize
the shedding of one's former ways of sinful conduct. That was
sanctification. Now, the baptism of sanctification is done as
mentioned above. The Holy Ghost transformation is performed through
the Light of Christ.

WILL YOU BE DAMNED IF NOT BAPTISED IN WATER?

Children pass over without water baptism. Some die at birth or are
aborted. The children have special status with the Creator. They are
not damned and neither are adults that are not water baptized. What
would happen if you were shipwrecked for the remainder of you life?
How could God justify not giving you a chance to learn His Sovereign
Will at transition? The only requirement for Christ's salvation is
that of a humble heart. Once you are with Christ, he knows your humble
heart will accept him. When you passed through his Light, you were
then baptized as a Holy Ghost. The water baptism would be nil in
Christ's eyes. It is the HEART that Saves. Nothing else can get you
into the Kingdom unless your heart is of Positive energy. Yahweh
Himself reveals this at Jeremiah 17:10.

I, the LORD, examine the mind, I test the heart to give to each
according to his way, according to what his actions deserve.

If the heart were not the thing of importance, He would not search it.
It is not the outward appearance that Saves, but what is hidden deep
within the heart.

ALL POSITIVE ENERGY PEOPLE ARE ACCEPTABLE

People of all nationalities, regardless of race, color or religion are
open to the Salvation of Christ.

Then I saw another angel flying in mid-heaven, having the eternal
gospel to announce to the inhabitants of the earth to every nation,
tribe, language, and people. Revelation 14:6.

Hear this, all you peoples; listen, all who inhabit the world, both
low and high, rich and poor together. Psalms 49:1-2.

Then Peter began to speak: In truth, I understand that God doesn't
show favoritism, but in every nation the person who fears Him and does
righteousness is acceptable to Him. Acts 10:34-35.

REMEMBER - IT'S A FREE WILL CHOICE

Everyone has Free Will Choice in the decision and are able to choose
one way or the other. That's why we will not try to force the Truth on
to anyone.

I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you today that I have set
before you life and death, blessing and curse. Choose life so that you
and your descendants may live, love the LORD your God, obey Him, and
remain faithful to Him. For He is your life, and He will prolong your
life in the land the LORD swore to give to your fathers Abraham,
Isaac, and Jacob. Deuteronomy 30:19-20

But if it doesn't please you to worship the LORD, choose for
yourselves today the one you will worship: the gods your fathers
worshiped beyond the Euphrates River, or the gods of the Amorites in
whose land you are living. As for me and my family, we will worship
the LORD. Joshua 24:15

If you carefully obey My commands I am giving you today, to love the
LORD your God and worship Him with all your heart and all your soul, I
will provide rain for your land in season, the early and late rains,
and you will harvest your grain, new wine, and oil. I will provide
grass in your fields for your livestock. You will eat and be
satisfied. Be careful that you are not enticed to turn aside, worship,
and bow down to other gods. Then the LORD's anger will burn against
you. He will close the sky, and there will be no rain; the land will
not yield its produce, and you will perish quickly from the good land
the LORD is giving you. Deuteronomy 11:13-17

This is how we are sure that we have come to know Him: by keeping His
commands. 1 John 2:3

SALVATION - KINGDOM MESSAGE COMPLETED

Now, either you will accept or reject the Truth we have ministered to
you. Since everyone should come to understand that actions result in
consequences, we deliver the following warning. If you decide to
refuse the truth, then you will know what is ahead--even if you reject
that also, at this time. Later on, you will see our words come to
life. If you accept the Truth now but are later tempted to cultivate a
negative energy within your heart, then the warning we share might
help to prevent that from happening.

YAHWEH'S BITTER-SWEET WARNING TO ALL PEOPLE OF THE EARTH

He that exercises faith in the Son has everlasting life. He that
disobeys the Son will not see life. The Wrath of God remains upon him.

The one who believes in the Son has eternal life, but the one who
refuses to believe in the Son will not see life; instead, the wrath of
God remains on him. John 3:36

Once you have been given the Message of Truth, if you do not obey it
you are exercising your Free Will choice. However, it will result in
eternal death at the Judgment. Just as Satan and his angels cannot
have free reign in creation - neither will it be permitted of those
that exercise that choice. Your fate is upon your own head.

Therefore I testify to you this day that I am innocent of everyone's
blood, for I did not shrink back from declaring to you the whole plan
of God. Acts 20:26-27

The above scripture reveals we will be clean from the blood of those
who make the wrong choice. If you are so cultivated with negative
energy that you hear and know that what we speak is Truth and you
continue to sin willfully by rejecting that Truth, then you will lose
the Sacrificial Hope of Salvation. Time will eventually run out.
Armageddon is the final Judgment Chapter.

For if we deliberately sin after receiving the knowledge of the truth,
there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins Hebrews 10:26

to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor, and the day of our God's
vengeance... Isaiah 61:2

The tumult reaches to the ends of the earth because the LORD brings a
case against the nations. He enters into judgment with all flesh. As
for the wicked, He hands them over to the sword [This is] the LORD's
declaration. Jeremiah 25:31

I tell you that on the day of judgment people will have to account for
every careless word they speak. Matthew 12:36

When I say to the wicked, 'O wicked man, you will surely die,' and you
do not speak out to dissuade him from his ways, that wicked man will
die for his sin, and I will hold you accountable for his blood."
Ezekiel 33:8

SANCTIFICATON OF THE CREATOR'S NAME

This GOOD NEWS of the Kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited
earth and bear witness to all the nations. The nations will be made to
know Yahweh. His Name must be sanctified before the nations.

I will honor the holiness of My great name, which has been profaned
among the nations the name you have profaned among them. The nations
will know that I am Yahweh "the declaration of the Lord GOD "when I
demonstrate My holiness through you in their sight. Ezekiel 36:23

So I will make My holy name known among My people Israel and will no
longer allow it to be profaned. Then the nations will know that I am
the LORD, the Holy One in Israel. Ezekiel 39:7

ARE THERE ANY FREE RIDES TO ETERNAL BLISS?

Anyone that believes they can get a free ride through eternity without
going through Christ, please read:

There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under
heaven given to people by which we must be saved. Acts 4:12

Once you have received the Truth, you are under obligation by the
Creator.

Wisdom is supreme so get wisdom. And whatever else you get, get
understanding. Proverbs 4:7

From your Sisters in Christ,
The Ministers of the Light of Life Ministry

I added a new post to my christian Poetry blog:

My Prayer;

I hope to ever keep the white light burning in my soul,

And ever keep my ideals clean and whole,

I hope to shun the dark and dreary ways,

Keeping my eyes towards the light always.

I hope to leave array of light when the day is done,

To help my children dear to follow on.

Here is a new poem I posted at:
http://star-dawn.blogspot.com/2007/03/why-lord.html

WHY?

Why Lord do I always try and please?

Why Lord do I never learn?

Why Lord do I set myself up for hurt?

Why Lord has every kind act been thrown back by others around me?

Why Lord will others I have reached out to in your love run the other
way?

Why Lord does no one even bother to really look at who I really am?

Why Lord can do no right?

Why Lord even in my sleep I can do no right?

WHY LORD?

Google is changing the way it is listing URLs and deleting all but the
indexes if I do not add new posts, so I am moving my poems bit by bit
