Devotional Christian Poetry – Lloyd Portman pt 2
Devotional Christian Poetry Lloyd Portman pt 2
Poetry has been referred to as “the love language.” You know, “Roses are red, violets are blue, you’re so sweet that I love you.” Yup – that’s about the extent of Brother Bob’s poetry creativity.
Thank God we have the Bible, where the Psalms are just FILLED with poetry. Think about it, David just sat there, under the tree, watching the sheep. He spent his days contemplating God. He spent time worshipping God. He spent time writing poetic songs to HIS GOD! And what did God have to say about all this? “David is a man after my own heart!” AMEN!
Today’s guest is a man of God that I’ve known for a few years now. In fact, we have the same birthday, just half a world apart! Amen! We call each other our “twin.” Amen!
But he has been anointed with a special gift to use poetry to show people the Light of the Gospel! Praise God!
Lloyd Portman is from “down under” in New Zealand! It is early morning there so I would not be surprised to hear a cup of coffee every now and then – Praise God! I’ve got mine here too! Amen. And it is mid-afternoon here!
Like I said, I’ve known Lloyd for a few years and we always have a great conversation every time we manage to get together for a few minutes… and today, we are recording it for YOUR benefit. Glory to God!
Lloyd is semi-retired now, but he had his own farm, he has worked construction and, adding to the list – he was a pastor for 12 years of a Pentecostal Church in his town. Lloyd has helped so many people over the years because of his ability to LISTEN. He hears what they are saying and he has the God given ability to see through the clutter and bring them a Word for God in due season and to give them the guidance of the steps they need to move forward.
And, as I have referenced, he has a God given gift for poetry. Not just fanciful lines on random subjects, but on sharing the Gospel message inside the poems.
This is part two of a great two part interview!
Before we get into some of the details of how your new website and program work, do you have an example poem you can share with us?
Come Now . . .
Come to the table of My Heart, the table of reasoning. We can discuss issues tripping you up and work together on them. I am the one who washes your scarlet transforming it to pure snow. Please don't resist or hide. The door to My Heart is always open. You can't do this alone! The table of reasoning becomes the table of Friendship and Exchange. Rags for riches, Righteousness for unrighteousness! It's free to exchange As you trade the rights to your life, losing your life . . . To Gain It.Can you explain this poem, its meaning, its intent, etc.?
Explain to us how your website and your membership will work…
Lloyd, this is so interesting. You know I’m a big fan of your work and I know our listeners would really, truly get a lot out of this program you have started.
Share with us again, how can someone obtain more information, get in touch with to ask a question, etc?
Folks, Lloyd is as down to earth as you can be. But, at the same time, he has Spiritual Gift that allows him to minister to people through poetry – speaking to the exact need the person is either struggling with or wondering what to implement. I’ve seen and heard the testimonies. I’ve experienced his work myself, in my own ministry and life. Amen!
I cannot emphasize enough the need for you to at least visit his website and pray about signing up for his ministry work of poetry. You will be blessed and you will grow and you will be able to a better person, a better spouse, parent – a better child of God – for the effort. Amen!
Just drop down into the show notes below and click the links right there. Check out all of the available works Lloyd has put together to help you. You will be so blessed that you did. Amen!
Lloyd, thank you for taking the time to come back on the program and share with us, brother! I do appreciate it!
