WHY DO YOU TEST MY GOD? Mikey St. John
Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen (Romans 1:25) Worshippers of the devil; worshipers of death; worshipers of vanity; worshipers of the flesh; worshipers of fame and glory; worshipers of the proud; worshipers of men; worshipers of celebrities;…

O MIGHTY GOD: Mikey St. John
In all my wisdom nothing seems the perfect fit; everything seems so wrong. But, O Mighty God, with him everything seems perfect and so right. With the Lord, everything seems to sail with the wind, so easily. There’s no resistance. Some how nothing is far-fetched; for the impossible is possible with God. If God is…
GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD: Mikey St. John
We rejoice in all good things send from above — sometimes without thought for the Holy One who made them possible. For we are not merely existing on our own, or are we? We cannot control our lives here on earth. Then why do we think that the things we have are from our own…
ARE YOU REALLY FREE: Mikey St. John
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. Galatians 5:1 Freedom, freedom, freedom, everybody wants it.

I WILL BE WITH YOU ALWAYS: Mikey St. John
And I heard a loud voice in heaven saying, “Now the salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ have come : for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, who accused them before our God, day and night.” And they overcame him by the blood of…

BOOMING SUNLIGHT: Mikey St. John

GOD’S LOVE JUST CAN’T BE MATCHED: Mikey St. John

LET US FORGIVE ONE ANOTHER SO GOD MAY REJOICE IN US: Mikey St. John
My Lord came upon me this evening with this message, for those who are quick to condemn their brothers and sisters in error, who beg them for forgiveness to no avail. People make mistakes. We all have at some point in time. And I know we will continue to. And who are we to throw…
UTTERLY INAPPROPRIATE BEHAVIORS: Mikey St. John
Racism, sexism, inhumane, utterly inappropriate behaviors spreading across the globe like wildfire. This is the world we live in today. I have seen the best and worst of humanity. But every so often we have to be reminded that although God is doing his part to save some of us, the devil is also doing…
WHAT LIES AHEAD: Mikey St. John
As I sat quietly, like I love to do, the Lord came upon me and revealed his message. I write about the joys and bring good news. But who am I to not write about the sadness? It is not my sadness to give. I am an obedient servant of God and will give his…
TAKE YOUR PROBLEMS TO GOD; PUT YOUR TROUBLES ON HIS SHOULDERS: Mikey St. John
How refreshing it is to leave everything to God. To surrender completely and say, “Father I leave all my problems with you, because I am weary and they are too much for me to bear.” But very often we tend to take on too much, much more than we can carry. Come to me, all…
OUR GLORIOUS LORD: Mikey St. John
Dear Father, with immense love I come before you. I feel your shining light as you touch my soul with your glory and sanctify me with your anointing.

LIVING DANGEROUSLY UNTIL GOD STEPPED IN AND SAVED ME: Mikey St. John
I was living dangerously. I knew right from wrong then; but I was hesitant about accepting the Lord completely. “Why,” you may ask? Like many people who are living in the night, darkness looms heavily on the heads of the disgraceful. And yet the idea of departing this sinful world seemed so distasteful. And that…
MESSAGE FROM MY GOD: Mikey St. John
I believe the Father — the one God, the living God, who has made all good things heaven and earth. There are many laws to follow but none such as the laws of the land, which God himself has decreed. For that is the law all shall follow, says my Lord. Though time has passed…
LIVING TO PLEASE GOD AND NOT MAN: Mikey St. John
For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I yet please men, I should not be the servant of God. Galatians 1:10 Men in their own wisdom can become foolish in the sight of God. Everyone of us has a purpose on this earth. Some of…
THE WEIGHTS ARE LIFTED OFF MY BACK: Mikey St. John
For many years I was asleep, living my life in a state of non-existent, doing all the things that ordinary people, unbelievers, do on a daily basis. But when I awaken [ by the Holy Spirit ] my life changed drastically. Though my eyes were open, I did not see [I was spiritually discerned]. They…
SHOWING HOSTILITY TOWARDS GOD: Mikey St. John
This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation; that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief. 1Timothy 1:15 We have all sinned and fall short of the glory of God. That was a major issue before God send his only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to die…

LABOR WISELY FOR GOD’S SAKE: Mikey St. John
Whoever belongs to God hear what God says. The reason you do not here is that you do not belong to God (John 8:47). Some people would not listen to the word of God when they are alive. But when they die all these wonderful things are said about them. And that may be true,…
I FEEL YOUR THUNDER: Mikey St. John
Come near to God and he will come near to you. James 4:8 My God visits me like the the rising sun; for such is the glory of God. His love, too much to explain. His hugs tender, yet sweet with the smell of fragrance: they are like no other. He makes himself know in…
THE LIGHT OF GOD: Mikey St. John

I have not hidden your deliverance within my heart; I have spoken of your faithfulness and your salvation; I have not concealed your steadfast love and your faithfulness from the great…
BE BOLD FOR THE LORD: Mikey St. John
“O you of little faith,why did you doubt?” (Matthew 14:31) Because you think you can’t change something, does that mean you should not talk about it? We are part of this equation. If we stand by hopelessly knowing that change is required yet we do nothing, only because we think we can’t effect change, what…
GOOD DEEDS FINISH FIRST IN GOD’S SIGHT: Mikey St. John
Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God. Hebrew 13:16 (ESV) Good always prevails over evil. And it is always the way to go, despite what many may say. You must have heard the popular saying, “Good guys finish last.” But is there any…
THE SWEET SMELL OF ROSES: Mikey St. John
Where do I begin? I tell you this, our God is full of love. He watches over me day and night. And he makes himself known with the sweet smell of roses. Come near to God and he will come near to you. (James 4:8) My precious God overwhelms me with joy, so much joy….

And she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head and one at the foot. John 20:12 (ESV) Hallelujah, for the Son of God who died on the cross of Salvation has risen to be with God his Father. And Mary was alarmed that Jesus was…
PRAYER OF DELIVERANCE TO THE LORD: Mikey St. John

PUT ON THE ARMOUR OF GOD AND FIGHT: Mikey St. John
We must not give up. We must put on the armour of God and fight the good fight in the name of Jesus Christ. By the power of Lord God and the blood of Jesus Christ I claim victory against spiritual wickedness of the devil. In the faces of adversaries, my Lord and Savior Jesus…
THE THORNS IN THE HONEY JAR: Mikey St. John
Be mindful of the thorns in the honey jar. Sometimes God sends people in your life, to bring awareness, teach you, protect you, while making you a better person. Not everyone who comes with a jar of honey means well. Before dipping into that jar of honey — look carefully, because that honey may have…
VENTING TO KEEP THE FIRE BURNING: Mikey St. John
I was colder than ice, stiff like steel. Some might even say, “Stiff like a coachman,” and the heat I am desperately craving just wouldn’t do. But this is just the beginning, and enthusiasm is excessively appropriate. And that heat is not surrendering, fighting the cold like a wrestler to the end, with every intensity,…
GOD IS ANGRY WITH THE WICKED: Mikey St. John
You are of your father the devil, and you will do your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies he speaks out of his own character; for he is a liar and the father of…
THE DANGER IN JUDGING: Mikey St. John
My LORD wake me up while darkness still looms, saving myself from a sinful dream, packed with lustful indulgence. But the Lord got my back, always, inspite of what the devil may think. And I begin to saturate myself with pleasing God. And although there will be many challenges ahead of us — judging seems…
DEAD MEN CAN’T REPENT: Mikey St. John
For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23 KJV). Greetings in the name of the Son of God, Jesus Christ. My friends, are you making preparation to face our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ? I hope that you have come to the Lord. And those who are yet to,…
THE GREATNESS OF THE LORD THY GOD: Mikey St. John
Don’t dampen your light so that someone else’s may shine. You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden (Matthew 5:14 KJV). We’re all children of the Most High God, and by his wonderful hands made in his image, likeness, and glory. And because of that…
THE PRICE OF LOVE: Mikey St. John
A world without love is an ungodly world, corrupted, unhinged, shaken, distorted, built on the foundation of sand, one whose destiny is darkness and death. No one will enter God’s kingdom without love, absolutely no one. Take these words to heart. Do not let them fall by the wayside; for it shall not be so…
PLACE OF CONSCIOUSNESS: Mikey St. John
Having evolved by the grace of God to a place of consciousness where truth has ways of reaching unlimited dimensions and lies a place of darkness: limited in every magnitude, distorted without rhythms, and noises that resonate with daunting distractions, I feel the rhythms as they find me. My energy recognizes others, and I know…
RAINDROPS: Mikey St. John
I can hear the ambient sounds of the raindrops, tip, tap, tip, tap, splashing, hitting the window pane, thoughtfully, and peacefully. I can feel its music too, some rhythms, a little blues, synchronizing my soul, putting me in that mellow mood, and it feels so good. Can you feel it, too? So sweet, so soft,…
CIRCUMSTANCES SOMETIMES CHOOSE US: Mikey St. John
We don’t always choose circumstances. So, is it then fair to say that they sometimes choose us, who are mere mortals governed by Almighty God. And that in our finite wisdom we will never comprehend the infinite works of God. Very often we find ourselves in situations, wondering why? But misguided opportunities are not really…
WASTED EFFORT: Mikey St. John
Wasted effort [deed], you may say, on people, superficial things, logical ideas once laced with exuberance, now illogical, and lackluster at best—if only you would take the time to remove the impulses, although irresistible, euphoric, and difficult, you might be in a better place. But all our efforts are not wisely used; think about it….
GRAVITY: Mikey St. John
If life gets a hold on you, twisting you out of shape in the process, eventually dragging you down that rugged, steeped hill, where the bottom seems so far away, please do not give up. Gravity may not be kind, but we put our trust and hope on the living God of mercy and grace…
DAYLIGHT’S DAWN: Mikey St. John
Among the cheerful and blissfully happy, the wolves still hunt relentlessly. When darkness comes, night falls, still beautiful, with shades of nothing, only to remember everything I could not see. But the glare of dawn carries prospects of light, hopefulness, a new vibrant attitude, inspirations prelude in the young and innocent, whom have not yet…
HOSTILE INHIBITION: Mikey St. John
The hostility some encourage, violates human existence, far exceeds what would be deemed appropriate, and inhibits what God intended. Live and let live, simple, isn’t it? But that’s too simple for some to follow. Rather than encourage symbioses — they tend to prefer complications, the difficulties they often would challenge themselves to encourage. The approach…
JIGGLED WITH BALLOONS OF AIR: Mikey St. John
I curled up like a ball, twisting and turning as I became tight like a roll of twine rapped into quiet submission. And there I was in a peculiar disposition. And like a compressed spring, I waited patiently. The quietness was so loud, extended far beyond my hearing range, before entering my mind again into…
REMEMBERING LOVE – WHEN LOVE WAS JOYFUL, AND NOTHING ELSE MATTERS: Mikey St. John
Remembering love — that hopeful, joyful, precious love, thoughtful and sweet, the way it was, godly, gentle, caring, patient, kind, unselfish, honest, loyal, when its light shined so brightly, and darkness vanished. Everyday seemed like yesterday, and yesterday seemed like today. Just beautiful and sweet and no one could tell the difference, because it always…
GRATITUDE LENDS ITSELF HAPPINESS: Mikey St. John
Gratitude is always rewarding!
NUTRITION CONSCIOUS, BUT WORDS ARE POWERFUL TOO: Mikey St. John
I’m nutrition conscious; it’s what I do. But words are powerful too. So, every so often, time would allow me some quietness, as words hustle their way into my mind, searching for a revelation. But what I couldn’t deny is what follows. And trying to understand the manifestation always seems to result in a joyful…
EMBRACING YOUR GIFT: Mikey St. John
Everyone has blessings. Some can explore, seeking adventures, while others seek truth; some dangle in the wind with the triumph of concurring the unknown; some are exquisite craftsmen; some sing melodic songs of music that soothe souls and make hearts dance like shimmering gold; some can ruffle the feathers on a bird or the hair…
TEARS FROM MANY COLORS: Mikey St. John
Rivers of tears flowing everywhere; every drop designated a reason. Tears from many colors; no discriminating here; joy and pain hanging on to every last drop […] We’re humans, one people, multiple colors ascribed on our backs. The choice was not for us to make, but we’re happy, most of the time. And at times…
ARROGANCE IS A FOOL’S TREASURE: Mikey St. John
A fool can learn if given knowledge. But who can teach the arrogant? Arrogance is a fool’s treasure, so too is silver and gold. But a wise man is humble, understands that vanity will only get him thus far, but the word of God will give him eternal life. And yet many of us are…
CHALLENGE THE INTEGRITY: Mikey St. John
And as for me thou upholdest me because of my integrity, and settest me before thy face forever (Psalm 41:12 KJV). We can challenge the integrity of another, but who are we to judge? Have we risen beyond the decree given to us? For those who consider themselves esteemed enough that they forget that God…
ALL WE HAVE IS TIME, LIMITED: Mikey St. John
All we’ve is time, limited time, that bullied its way into our lives, leaving us with tainted souls that beg for rainy days, and bitterness that lingers in our mouths. But there’s nothing better than the taste of sweet memories which I relish on a quiet afternoon, or on a lonely, cold night. And should…
SCARLET IN THE SKY: Mikey St. John
I saw scarlet in the sky and I knew you were there. I thought of your playful heart, joyful spirit, and soft, sweet touch. When birds chirped sweet melodies I looked for you as my heart wallowed in joy. When streams flowed with such gracefulness, I thought of you with peace and heaven on my…

ASK AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN: Mikey St. John
If you honestly believe that God is your heavenly Father because you were rebirth with the Spirit of truth, by the hand of our blessed Lord Christ Jesus, then act like it. Why treat the Father like a stranger? Would not the Father give his beloved children good gifts? Our Father has a tender, loving…
A PLACE OF SOLITUDE: Mikey St. John
The smartest people find ways of outsmarting themselves. The funny thing is, they don’t even realize it and may never. And if we think for one second that we’re so much smarter, then we need to think again. With all the advancements, progressions that occupy our minds constantly, if not daily, gripping our souls like…
THE LIFE OF HOPE: Mikey St. John
Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all he that hope in the LORD. Psalm 31:24 (KJV) Hope, what a beautiful word to hear and a wonderful thing to know. But most people are too caught up in guilt, horror, torment, everyday struggles, that they think they are not privy to hope….
SEEKING CONSTANT STIMULATION: Mikey St. John
What does it say about us, that we are seeking constant stimulation in order to create some form of normalcy? We’re living our lives lost, governed by distractions. Rather than ruling technology, we have allowed and conformed, such that we’re no longer in control. We should be smart enough and use technology, and don’t let…
A WORLD THAT NEEDS NO VALIDATION: Mikey St. John
In a world that needs no validation, why are we on an undeniable quest for acceptance? Is it because of our imperfections, insecurities that never cease, haunting us like savages, demanding the revelation of truth, hasten by humility and wisdom? And should we feel better if those who provided the validations need to be validated…
BEING RIGHT AT WHAT COST: Mikey St. John
Sometimes peace can win wars if we give it a chance. War can harden hearts and blind eyes. The LORD can bring clarity to souls that seek his divine wisdom. Let my God prevail in the midst of darkness. I am not right about many things and realized that it’s not so much about being…
APPRECIATE THE BEST THINGS: Mikey St. John
We all have weaknesses, which you already know. But who really cares about that? Why focus on them? Instead, we can divert our attention on our positive attributes and not be hindered by our weaknesses. And should we continue to dwell in the realms of negativities, we will not rise to our intended capabilities; instead,…
VOICES: Mikey St. John
Let your voices be heard wide and far. Let them not be silenced by the timid, wicked souls who are afraid to witness truth — unpretentious cowardices, fools who hide behind transparent walls — thick with insecurities, boosting tongues that can’t stop, with an eagerness for attention at the expense of someone else’s downfall. As…
CAST IN THE SHADOW OF THE DUST: Mikey St. John
What are you searching for? There’s so much this universe has given us, and what have we given it back? We’ve been enlightened, mesmerized by its vast wonders — laid out in numerous dimensions — some near and far. Marvelously displayed closer than we think, embedded in the fabrics of our being are beautiful components…
THE PARADISE: Mikey St. John
We are living in a paradise, though not our best life yet. But we’re doing everything possible to destroy it. Every little bit hurts, and it does not matter if we choose to acknowledge that or not. If we continue to tarnish it, chipping away the precious things at every chance we get, eventually that…
WALKING ZOMBIES: Mikey St. John
Whosoever trangresseth and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and Son (2 John 1:9 KJV). If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not in your house, neither bid him God speed: for…
PART OF THAT PUZZLE THAT NOURISHES THE SOUL: Mikey St. John
While some of us look for love, part of that puzzle that nourishes the soul, the possibility to exploit it will never die. Just as we thirst for water, more so on a hot sunny day where even one drop feels like a touch of heaven, so too is love. The allure of beautiful women,…
MADNESS: Mikey St. John
We are really great at rewriting history, and right now the bad parts are winning by a wide margin… It was just about 10 pm on that Friday night when this horrid news came rushing in, and erupted like a volcano, in front off me, brazen, totally disregarding my state of mind at that moment,…
REVOLVING LIFE: Mikey St. John
Are you living life to the fullest, the way it was meant to be? Most of us live life in phases, when everything is clicking, feeling good about ourselves, happy with where we’re in life, ecstatic about family and friendship, inspired with aspirations for the future. But then there’s that other phase, waiting to snap…
ROYALTY: Mikey St. John
Royalty is not for a selected few, and you need to understand that. Which begs the question, do you feel like royalty, kings and queens of this world? I hope you do, and you have every right to feel that way. And if you don’t, then there is work to be done. Our God is…
GREY by Mikey St. John
Grey, obscurity, darkness, confusion… they embody doubt, unbelief, unrighteousness, unrest, death, insecurities thick like sludge. There is nothing positive about them, and living in them is a sure way to self-destruct. But the revelation of clarity is not blatantly evident. And seeking it, more than likely, will take us to either end of the spectrum,…
MY LIFE; MY JOY; MY BLESSINGS: Mikey St. John
I have come full circle for some time now. And with that an awakening. I am happy, joyful, in a place where giving actually feels better than receiving. I have grown wiser, appreciate my life, and all that it entails. My preparation was not elaborate, yet purposeful, and well-intended. And my understanding has bring a…
THE HEALING: Mikey St. John
When one of us is wounded, we are all wounded. If you don’t feel hurt and pain for your brother — check yourself. We don’t celebrate the fall, failure, or demised of anyone. As a matter of fact, it is sad, very sad, always sad at my camp. It is never mine to celebrate, nor…
REDEFINING AND REDISCOVERING THE ESSENCE OF HUMAN’S SOULS: Mikey St. John
I’m optimistic, seeking the best in humanity, certainly not intoxicated in my beliefs that there’s more to life than what meets the eyes. Don’t get me wrong; it’s a constant struggle redefining and rediscovering the essence of humans’ souls, latently awaiting their turn to shine, knowing that there’s inherit goodness in all of us. But…
IF I KNOW YOUR NAME: Mikey St. John
If I know your name, then, I would walk these streets with heaven on my mind, dazed in a world where the taste of your love is enough to last forever, and lingers like dust in the desert. And even the smell of the the breeze leaving your back would have the allure of sweet…
THE CLEANSING: Mikey St. John
There’s strength in numbers, and that can’t be denied. No one is bigger than the cause. We have witnessed the demised of powerful men whom have abused their authority — disrespected, and assaulted women whom have entrusted them in various capabilities. Distasteful as it might be — there’s a cleansing of malicious, inappropriate behaviors, and…
NAKED RIVERS: Mikey St. John
Season has changed, or so it seemed, while the quiet night slept silently. Naked, stilled rivers sought warmth, covered with ice in the blistering cold. Wind blew ferociously, painted houses with snow as sounds howled like wolves up and down the walls, agonized ears painfully, demanded attention from shameful trees that sought cover; ears didn’t…
THE PRELUDE TO FEASTING: Mikey St. John
On the eve of thanksgiving, the prelude of feasting with family and friends, reminiscing about the years gone by, being thankful for the present with a joyful reverence for life — let us be grateful for the air we breathe, for our family and friends. But more importantly, let’s be thankful to God for the…
TOMORROW WILL TAKE CARE OF ITSELF: Mikey St. John
Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Do good; follow the teachings of the LORD thy God, and your rewards will be great. Live every moment, gracious, faithful, with love, trusting in the LORD, and tomorrow will take care of itself. For no one on this earth can deny you your place in heaven…
FIGHT FOR HUMANITY: Mikey St. John
We must fight for humanity. While the struggles continue we must give cheerfully to those in need, and to charities that will embrace the survival of our human race. Because words alone will not full empty bellies. Blessed is he who considers the poor! In the day of trouble the LORD delivers him; the LORD…
THE GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY FOR GROWTH: Mikey St. John
Growth is knowing that what is at this point right now was never before but also knowing that it was meant to be. And that it is satisfying and complete, no matter what. Being satisfied while understanding that acceptance is the prelude to growth is key; imbedded in it is the possibility of what could…
A ONE-SIDED AND FLUSTERED WORLD: Mikey St. John
Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction (Proverbs 31:8 KJV). In a one-sided and flustered world, consisting of a privileged few, arrogant many, and an abundance of racist and prejudicial human beings, life is a constant reminder of the pretentious world we live in. Our…
TWISTING TONGUES: Mikey St. John
Lies, lies, you nasty lies, who are you? You find you way into hearts and minds, twisting tongues into all sorts of shapes, echoing sounds without rhythms, occupying space worthy of truth, crippling souls with guilt, amassing heaviness to the point of exhaustion, casting shadows dark like death. Lies, lies, why do you find your…
WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE: Mikey St. John
You shackled his hands and feet. You tortured his mind. You whipped him into shame. You try to steal his virtue and demean his existence. You uncaged him — let him loose in these streets with no money in his pocket. And then you called it freedom — expecting him to survive in this world,…
ESSENCE OF MY SOUL: Mikey St. John
If you know my name and don’t know the essence of my soul — why do you judge me? To treasure the unknown, just like an angry lion, only perpetuates the uncertainty so much more. But to place judgement with limited facts is like shooting in the dark with one eye close — aimlessly hoping…
ONCE THERE WAS A TIME WHEN PEOPLE COULD LIE ABOUT THEIR AGE: Mikey St. John
Once there was a time, not so long ago, when people could lie about their age, at will. One would think that’s great; but upon further re-examination it’s actually terrible. To not be acknowledged, to have no records of existence — to born — to live — to die without record is by far the…
A GRAIN OF SAND ON THE OCEAN FLOOR: Mikey St. John
Man has decreed himself mighty and powerful, but he’s nothing more than vanity, a mortal vessel, like a grain of sand on the ocean floor, when put in prospective. Power belongs to God, and so too is mercy and grace. He that elevates himself shall be made low, and he that humbles himself shall be…
COLORFUL PSYCHOLOGY: Mikey St. John
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he will lift you up. Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge (James…
