Beautiful Poetry




Reflections of His Glory-
Candles of the Soul Poetry
                               by Joanna Gilbert-Hilton


It is said the Bible contains some of the purest, most romantic prose ever written; the books of Psalms and Song of Solomon are two very recognizable poetry and prose sections that immediately comes to mind. People all over the world have been blessed by the words contained in these two books for centuries. They have been the inspiration for many to take up pen and paper and begin writing. 

Joanna at WKTO
Joanna Gilbert-Hilton, is a poet, author and radio personality on WKTO. On and off the radio her time is busy writing and reciting poetry to various church groups and audiences  around Florida.
Her book, (titled above) has been a gift from God to all of us who share this love for poetry.
I would like to introduce you to yet another excerpt from Joanna's collection of poems.


 

Whisper Of The Heart

I can hear Him calling
across the valley and mountain
 His voice soft, enthralling
As He pleads again, yet again,

Dorine Pederzani Photography
Turn beloved, come to me
I will ease the burdens carried
Lift your soul to eternity,
give you my peace unsullied

Only just for you that I built,
a kingdom of radiant light
 I came to take your guilt
You are beautiful in my sight
Hold on to my truth until,
The Day Star rises in your heart
Anointing like rain will fill
Your empty vessel, as my love I impart


Come with me to a higher realm
Walking together in a garden of light
Heavens power at the helm
In robe of righteousness, sanctified sight.


God bless.

Praising God For Complete Restoration!

By His Stripes You Are Healed!

Surely He has borne our griefs (sicknesses, weaknesses, and distresses) and carried our sorrows and pains [of punishment],
yet we [ignorantly] considered Him stricken, smitten, and afflicted by God [as if with leprosy].
But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our guilt and iniquities; the chastisement [needful to obtain] peace and well-being for us was upon Him, and with the stripes [that wounded] Him--
we are healed and made whole.
Isaiah 53:4-5, AMP
Spirit Fire Church, ministering healing.

Restoration
by Joanna Gilbert-Hilton

Infuse us with your awesome truth.
Fill us with your glory.
Bring all nations under your roof,
Redeemed by the age-old story.

Spirit Fire Church,
 blessing God's chosen for greater works of service.
Let Your healing rain fall
As we worship in frailty and hope.
Dear Jesus, we give You our all-
God's instruments to help others cope.
Stained glass comfort wrap around
Each lonely, desolate heart.
Karen Hershmiller, dancing in the anointing.
Your eternal love exalts new ground-
Fresh direction, sustaining right start.
Sow a harvest, Father, I pray.
Reach down in infinite compassion.
Complete trust in You is the only way;
Your hands a blessed future will fashion.

Raise your downcast heart to see
Wonders that surround every day;
Our joy and stength stems from Thee;
Holy Trinity, deliverance we pray.
It's important for our livelihood that we understand and comprehend the good gifts of God.
Knowing what God has given us, will alleviate; confusion, fear, frustation and discouragement. Read and meditate on His word and let Holy Spirit illuminate the truth of it to you, that will bring you to a revelation knowledge of God's truth and faithfulness. Let us not grow weary and be destroyed for lack of knowledge.

Remember, Eve was deceived by lack of knowledge; Adam wasn't deceived, but negligible to apply what God had told him.

The bible is God's word-- What has He told you...

"Beautiful words stir my heart.
I will recite a lovely poem about the king,
for my tongue is like the pen of a skillful poet."
   Psalm 45:1 
           

Joanna Gilbert-Hilton -Skillful Poetess 
I recently met, Joanna Gilbert-Hilton, at a Florida radio station, while accompanying, Becky Dvorak for an interview with Carol Henry, at WKTO.  Becky had just authored her first book, "Dare To Believe", published by Destiny Image.
(You’ll have to wait to read more about Becky and the miracles she and her husband's been privy to witness  in a later scheduled  blog from, "Prime The Well"/ "Picture This~").
The first thing I notice about, Joanna was her sublime English accent; I love to listen to people speak in British accents, they sound so proper and artfully expressive. I shouldn’t be surprise then to find out that Joanna is the author of a poetry book, and recently awarded “Editor’s Choice” for outstanding achievement in poetry; by the International Library of Poetry.
Her published book titled, "Reflections Of His Glory- Candles of the Soul Poetry,"  is illustrated with scenic photos, taken by her daughter, Nina Collins; the pictures give us a glimpse into the soul of every poem; the book is appropriately so sub-titled; Candles of the Soul Poetry.
Every poem penned, is about Father God and His attributes; His love, his faithfulness to us, the peace available that quiets our frantic thoughts, and of course the power of His authorative Word.  
Everything about His glory she highlights in her poems.
It’s a small book, containing twenty-two poems bursting with expression to fill up your senses with a comforting peacefulness.  If your habit is bedtime reading, you're sure to experience the sweetest sleep.
As I read these poems, I realized how God was speaking right through Joanna  to my heart. She is a conduit of God’s caring hand to individuals she may never meet.  There is one poem expressly impacting, “Step By Step”. 
Step By Step
By Joanna Gilbert-Hilton
When pangs of sorrow or past regret
Make life uphill and hard to bear,
Pause a moment, remember, and let
Happier memories their presence share.
For oftentimes when we are down
Showers can seem like pouring rain.
There is no need to doubt and frown.
Trust God! He’ll raise you up again.
All nature sings to us of His blessing-
Created, fashioned, for our pleasure.
See with spiritual eyes, glory possessing;
God rent the veil! Inestimable treasure…
He will perfect His great plan for you;
Your life undergo a divine turnaround.
Step by Step He'll lead you through-
Peace under His almighty wings found.
