#CanYouSeeHim? "I'll Be Back..." • Revelation 22:7-21 http://bit.ly/bJHokd Pastor @JohnFehlen • @WSFChurch www.WSFC.org
POEM:
Can you see him? He said "I'll be back!"
Don't speculate or be cynical and lack
You can't figure out the time, dude that's rude
Only the Father knows - like a rubix cube
He is coming back, it says it three times clearly
2000 years isn't soon, but to him it's nearly
A blink of an eye, as the time passes
There's potential for manipulation, sugar coated like molasses
Cant stand there and wait like an ostrich
With your head in the ground - that's obvious
Don't be discouraged, time to be patient
Share the gospel with all, time to face it
God will prepare the hearts of many
Those that will accept God are good and plenty
Jesus will return, this is eminent
It's universal, no one will miss what's heaven sent
His final reveal will be epic (I love it)
It's ABSOLUTE, we're going to love it (I love it)
Affection displayed in public (I love it)
Waiting for him, are you ready for him? (I love it)
How many brides will miss the groom
Forgot to prepare and exit the room
Leave to return, but he will return
Live for his return, freeze or burn
Will you be lukewarm till the end of time
Or will you be his poema, a significant rhyme
Time to take words, put them in action
Don't take it for granted, don't be slackin'

ALL THINGS ARE NEW! #CanYouSeeHim? Revelation 21:1-5
ALL THINGS ARE NEW! #CanYouSeeHim? Revelation 21:1-5
May 9th, 2010
www.WSFC.org Pastor John Fehlen
Smells like sin? Tastes like chicken!
What a cliché to describe heaven
In my opinion I think heaven tastes like chicken
Hate sin eat chicken, what a description
How can you explain a divine truth
Limited to communicate it to you
Allow your imagination, wrap your mind around
How can you personify tastes or sound
There's got to be more, look it's right
There's another book, the book of life
So many times we just jot or tittle
Consequence of crimes are a lot not a little
Superior in kind to the old - Its New!
Eradicated & replaced, it was due
This is not quite the same with us
Creation transformation is what Christ to give us
If anyone is in Christ, he is made new
Personify his life, our calling - what we dp
Tears, pain, death, have passed and gone
Forever more, the king has won
The one on the throne, makes all new
Write down, my words are trusted and true
Recreated by a process of restoration
Not a new model, this is revelation
There's a change taking place with time
The canvas is wiped down and repainted in kind
The grand artist will give a new sight
A new design, similar to day and night
A relational connection is an important component
Understand the alpha and omega and own it
At the center of the city is the throne room
Residing in all glory, the marvelous grown groom
Without win we will again have perfect harmony
That's the difference between Eden and eternity
No death, means no sin, no potential
Christ crucified ONCE! plain and simple
No selfish desire, no selfish dysfunction
United with God, more than a bride to her husband
That's why the bible preaches on lovin
Right now we're being prepared in an oven
We anticipate emotions with righteous purity
As sure as we are, he is the cure in me
Abide in the vine of life - stand firm in Christ
Our desire will be his desire, we'll be enticed
Fully engaged, more enlightened, sure
We are filled with his love, righteous and pure
Rejoice, feast, and sing! Twenty-four Seven
This is what we look forward to in heaven

www.WSFC.org Pastor John Fehlen
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls
The most interesting man in the world
Here he comes from heaven as they open
On a brilliant white horse, he's chosen
With his army behind him in white and pure
Enemies will be slain and offer a cure
Heal the world, make it a better place
Everything on the earth will be replaced
Time to make it new, build it from scratch
We put our hands to it and make it last
The old will pass, no longer do we fast
He prepares a meal, a feast alas
Its written on his robe & on his thigh
King of Kings Lord of Lords - holy on high
Holy. Holy. Holy. Three times and righteous
He's returning to us, riding right beside us
Cleaning it up He's a total overcomer
He said, he'll be back Like the love for summer
Faithful and true Yeah he makes war
He's the real deal Not a fake lord
When it comes to him There's no ambiguity
Almighty all-powerful The rest are so puny
Whom else can go to battle Dazzled in white
It's a dirty job But you know they'll fight
Once dirty people, now soldiers of light
Seasoned with salt, staying holy all night
Don't sit on the bench, gotta get in the game
Faith on auto-pilot, barely using his name
What a shame, living in guilt
Driven to be righteous, you're already killed
You want to be healed, but walking in faith
Change your pace today, today pace for change

Can You See Him? WWJST?

Pastor John Fehlen
Revelation 2 & 3
POEM:
Tell me: What Would Jesus Say Today?
In an American church, would He stay?
Or just walk away - wish He didn't knock
Leave the church in shock, watch Jesus walk
Not skipping down the block, never crucified
Not a Christian blogging about who had lied
He would address 7 churches, share his mind
A righteous judge, He's been prepared in time
Before it existed, He spoke it into existence
Speaking of Himself, no resistance just persistence
Thoughts plague minds with doctrinal literacy
Beef it up for Jesus, not an optional delivery
The letters have been sent, no theological junk
Filthy rags have a scent of a psychological skunk
There is nothing more meaty than Jesus
Beef up Christology, LORD lead us
Remember how high & how far we have fallen
Repent! Do the works. That's why He's callin'
Otherwise, your lampstand will be removed
Reflect & go back go the joy of your youth
No sync problems, words match up with character
They perceive unpolitely, about His figure
So many seasons, but He is sovereign
Many had Him, left Him, dismiss Him & forgotten
Too many spoiled and rotten, sippin on syrup
Begging for milk money, livin to burn up
When the trumpet sounds, He will (still) rule
Flexing His muscles, with enemies as His foot stool
So pure & righteous, even said to Thyatira
Eyes a fiery flame, feet of refinin' fire
Rise from nothing, like a branch from a stump
Made something, it's something - stand don't strut
Seven spirits of God with seven stars
He is the annointed one, holding you in His hands
Yeah He's got the whole world, but we don't listen
Pray everyday? You text but don't call. PAY ATTENTENTION!
Remember how high & how far we have fallen
Repent! Do the works. That's why He's callin'
Otherwise, your lampstand will be removed
Reflect & go back go the joy of your youth
People give up the palace, for the pig pen
You are royalty, and you've been forgiven
Left what you were given, your inheritance
Sorrow will follow into repentence
Why be P.C.? You'll end up P.C. in hell
Politically Correct equals religiously fail
Entitled to nothing, BUT by God's grace
Replace a sour taste, return - seek His face
SCRIPTURE:
1 John 5:20
Isaiah 11
Luke 2
QUOTE:
"Jesus would either be a lunatic - on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg - or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this mans was, and is, the Son of God; or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us." C.S. Lewis

Stop Praying! Seek, Listen, & Heed. Obey + Love
Last month seemed like a huge test or trial for many of those I care about. This month has been better yet kind of excruciating. I am overwhelmed by a relentless God. Yes. It's crazy love. We immediately seek counsel, or pray. But I have a suggestion (as suggested by Francis Chan)...
STOP PRAYING!
What if I told you to stop talking AT God for a while, but instead to take a long, hard work at Him before you speak another word? Solomon warned us not to rush into God's presence with words. That's what fools do. And often, that's what we do.
Be obedient: listen and take heed to what you hear.
God has placed a number of you in my life for a divine purpose. I love that I don't have to walk this life alone. This battle is brutal but the war is enduring. I am a soldier moving forward into battle with my armour. And with my shield of faith to prevent firey darts from hitting me. But the enemy is unfair and keeps shooting them at me, when I'm my weakest, and even when I'm my strongest.
My faith may withstand a few arrows. But eventually it will wear me down and I will no longer be able to move forward. I will be caught dead in my tracks. I pray for help. I thank God He has placed you guys there on the frontline with me. If I didn't have back up, I would be captured and devoured by the enemy.
Let's get each other's backs. Allow us to uplift and encourage one a other. Not only pray, but share our joy for the Lord. Let us share our testimonies. We are all going through something right now. We need to be encouraged and strengthened. Let's unite as one body. Under God. Indivisible. With liberty and justice.
You guys have listened to me. You have answered my questions. You have been there for me when I needed inspiration. I appreciate you all. Even when you aren't 100%, you give me just what I need. I praise God and I thank Jesus for you and your willingness and your desire for God. I love you passion. I love how He blesses you. And through those blessings I am blessed as well.
I pray I can do and be the same for you.
May God bless you with grace, peace, mercy, patience, self-control, love, gentleness, kindness, hope, and faith. I pray you find wisdom as you seek him as well.

Can You See Him? Portraits of Jesus
Can You See Him? Portraits of Jesus
4/11/2010 www.WSFC.org
Pastor John Fehlen
POEM:
Here's a revelation that will tear corsets to pieces
John will illustrate some 'Portraits of Jesus'
You can break it down using numerology
That's 'Much Ado About Nothing'-theology
Eschatology, I haven't read Rev. since I was a teen
'Symbology', realize Jesus has always been seen
Similar to Magic Eye; the picture of Christ
'Can You See Him' glorified? Brighter than lights
Suffering servant, that's a familiar portrait
Nothing attractive about his poor trait
Watch blood pour straight, flowing grace
This will wash sins away, with pain replaced
As he was, now reveal who he is & will become
All sovereign. All knowing & powerful thee Son
Not a Freddy Kruger state - that might scare
This is John's dream, not an Elm Street nightmare
Fall to His feet
As though you're dead
Feel His right hand
Laid upon your head
Isaiah fifty-three
That was the past
Fear not!
He's the first and the last
The Living One
Died, now alive forever more
Of Death + Hades
He has the keys to the door
Jesus never refuted his divinity
He always was one third of the trinity
Christ is King, he's God as well
What else would he die for? Do tell
Since the dawn of man 'US' includes Him
He knows your deeds, you can't elude sin
A prelude to grim, such a great authority
Superior like white snow as it flows to the sea
Some grow to greed, pray to be slow to speak
Don't know your need? Grow and Breathe
Don't be passive, speak up and speak out
Declare MAJESTY, he has reached down
Stand at attention, prepare to respond
He will return, he'll be here, it won't be long
30 years life 3 year ministry, then atonement
Never compromised, he was always poor and homeless
Fall to His feet
As though you're dead
Feel His right hand
Laid upon your head
Isaiah fifty-three
That was the past
Fear not!
He's the first and the last
The Living One
Died, now alive forever more
Of Death + Hades
He has the keys to the door

Revelation 1:12-18

SEVEN (Pt.7): Goodness vs. Envy - Sermon by @JohnFehlen Poetry by @Treborn
www.WSFC.org
March 28, 2010: Pastor John Fehlen
Week 7: Goodness vs. Envy
POEM:
I see workers, standing there waiting
Quickly hired, no need for debating
It doesn't matter when you'll be paid
No matter the work the reward's the same
I see oranges too, do you want the orangest?
Is it ripe or rotten, when did it leave the orchards?
If more is less, then the first shall be last
The last will first pass, the worse was a blast
You know what's true, but do you live it too
Taking in lies, how can you give the truth
Haves & have-nots, the envy of possessions
Neglected not accepted, now give me your blessings
What changed? Once you saw another kid
Makes me think of Abel and what his brother did
Really it's not all it's cracked up to be
The envy of perfection is lackin what you need
There is no comparrison
When we bow down
& get near to him
Serve whole heartedly
Put others first now
Love fully then
Give freely & Learn patience
Remember to cultivate greatfulness
Learn patience & give freely
Cultivate greatfulness to kill envy
You want so much, what about what you have
Why compare yourself, in what do you brag
The good or the bad, living happy or sad
Patience is perfect, it will make you glad
Cant rush perfection, what is really fair
How can you treat one differently, play it by ear
Many sizes & flavors, what about Yours!?
Artificially replicated, fades & falls to the floors
Lastly, is the envy of power - an assassin
They think 'my mansion is bigger than your mansion'
What creeps in changes our level of maturity
I used to strive for happiness, now it is purity
Soon we will surely see, we are living young & wild
Put away childish things, no longer think like a child
Give us humility, submission, don't go on a power trip
Take a vacation with the Lord's Supper + take a sip!
There is no comparrison
When we bow down
& get near to him
Serve whole heartedly
Put others first now
Love fully then
Give freely & Learn patience
Remember to cultivate greatfulness
Learn patience & give freely
Cultivate greatfulness to kill envy

Take a vacation with the Lord's Supper + take a sip!
There is no comparrison
When we bow down
& get near to him
Serve whole heartedly
Put others first now
Love fully then
Give freely & Learn patience
Remember to cultivate greatfulness
Learn patience & give freely
Cultivate greatfulness to kill envy
SCRIPTURE:
Matthew 20:1-16
1 Corinthians 13
Proverbs 14:30
John 14

SEVEN (Week 6): Knowledge vs. Pride Sermon by @JohnFehlen Poem by @Treborn
West Salem Foursquare Church March 20/21, 2010
Pastor John Fehlen
www.WSFC.org
Acts 18:23-28
Poem:
Knowledge puffs up love builds up
The humility of Christ can heal us
Lots of tid bits in an info age
Take off your snuggie & enter stage
15 minutes of charm then you got to know things
Flattering yes, but you need to grow brains
The know it all show mockery of intellect
Got the spirit but forgot to speak in respect
A sub-culture out there with a commentary
Double-check resources, if not, O' God it's scary
With eagerness search the scriptures
Exposure is key just like developing pictures
Study buddy, really sweat it out
Lovely muddy, saturated without doubt
What you believe is determined by doctrine
Where you look is where you go
Direction is determined if you grow
Surroundings are fixated
Behavior is dictated
Let me finish this thought...
To tell you what I'm thinking
If you are thirsty
It depends on what you're drinking
Charismatics want the spirit but no bible?
That's like wanting change with no revival
Lost in this world without a compass
No engine will stump us, no brain is dumb yes
If we go wrong we will sleep with cod
Know it's alright to be a geek for God
Where you go depends on who you know
Passion and precision - hand in hand they go
Growing Christians never truly know it all
Swallow pride so you can truly know it all
Constructive criticism, can you receive it?
If you hear truth, will you believe it?
You feel convicted, that's a good conscious
You've been dismissed kid, living so cautious
To know God is more than just head-knowledge
Still an infant on milk, so you dread solids
Scripture:
Proverbs 19
2 Peter 1:5-9
Philipians 2:1-5
Proverbs 10
