The Kingdom of God Inspirational Writings

By Phyllis A. Hemphill

The Kingdom of God Inspirational Writings is a 33-year collection of poems inspired and written based on my dreams, visions, life experience, and revelation from God.
The Kingdom of God Inspirational Writings speaks to our relationship, worship, fellowship, and friendship with God as well as our citizenship, partnership, ownership, and leadership in God. Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God. (Acts 14:22)
Just as Dorothy who sought the Wizard of Oz on the yellow brick road encountered adversity and gained revelation in pursuit to reach home, I have been seeking the Kingdom of God on the path called Jesus (the way, the truth and the life) and encountered adversity, challenge, and pain while gaining revelation through scripture, visions, challenges, and victories concerning the Kingdom of God. For the kingdom of God are not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. (Romans 14:17)
Enjoy as I share the way to Gods way of doing things as revealed to me through poetry and praise. Learn that we were made to glorify God and that there is purpose and promotion in persecution and pain. Understand that restoration to right fellowship with God begins the journey to the Kingdom of God.

My Journey

Introduction

The Kingdom of God Inspirational Writings collection of poems were inspired and written based on dreams, visions, life experience, and revelation I received from God. Even though I did not began to take note and compile these poems until 1976 when I received Christ as my Lord and Savior, I began writing poems when I was ten years old in the 5th grade.

After receiving Christ, I developed a passion for the word of God and a hidden talent for writing was revealed. Commissioned by God as an unlearned child by an angel to show people the way to Him, when I became a part of the family of God I wanted to please Him and sought after Him with my whole heart. While praying, the Lord led me to read Matthew 6:33 "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."

With this instruction I began to pattern my life according to His word, learning Him and His way by allowing it to penetrate my heart and facing the challenges and adversities that have come my way. Though sometimes misunderstood, in living my life for Christ, there has been much processing and many things to endure. Through the process, He speaks and I get to learn Him. As He speaks, I write to share what I learn in the process.

When I was a child I absorbed, spoke, and did childish things. One of the sayings I learned and remember saying as a child was yours is not to question why, yours is just to do or die.

Well, while in pursuit of Jesus, and following God’s word, just as I have aged in the natural, I’ve grown from a babe in Christ and am yet evolving into the representative of Christ He has called me to be. (Luke
