Poems of a Dignified 'Hell No' Attitude

By Erika Newton

Welcome to ‘Poems of a Dignified ‘Hell No’ Attitude’, the first of four volumes in the Christian Poetry Unleashed series. Most of the works in all four volumes of the series are compiled together for you in ‘Floetic Ascension of a Lotus – Christian Poetry, Prose & Spoken-Word’. I pray that the words herein would remind you of the power you have as a child of the Most High God. If you have received Jesus Christ as your Lord & Savior - you are a Blood bought - Blood covered unstoppable force of holiness. My prayer is that you would come to understand the finished work of the cross in order to know & receive everything Christ died & rose again for you to have. The enemy, the world, circumstances nor any other thing not of God - has any power over you, no matter what it may LOOK like. In Christ - you are victorious over all of it. Who ever you are, what ever you have been through - you are deeply loved by God Almighty. He sees you, He knows you, He is near to you & He loves you with ALL that He is. I pray that the words herein will find you right when you need them & that they produce good & lasting fruit in your life. Remember that the battle belongs to the Lord... so when you echo what He says - victory is yours in Christ Jesus. Keep in mind that Jesus is ALIVE.. & He has NEVER lost a battle!! Thank you for reading & God Bless

Erika Newton

Erika D. Newton grew up in the Western Edition of San Francisco, California. As a child of the 80’s, Erika unwillingly began to collect experiences that should have never been garnered by a child. Those same experiences pushed and pressed their way into her adulthood, but the story doesn’t end there. Erika has used her past as a launching pad into her beaming present and illustrious future. She is an Author, Floetic Lyricist/Songwriter who is truly inspired by God Himself. She ministers with vision and passion so that others may be lifted up, inspired and encouraged. With a heart for the youth, she is an active member of NewBirth Church in Pittsburg, CA, where she has served as a teacher for ‘Pre-Ignite’, a curriculum based Pre-Teen Youth ministry. She is currently working on releasing a Floetic music cd as a tribute to Jesus Christ – exalting His Name & honoring Him using the musical talents He has so graciously given her. As a testament of God’s faithfulness and divine healing, Erika’s goal is to allow God to use her to minister His Word in multiple mediums. She looks forward to writing more poetry, short stories and stage plays that will tug at the hearts of those who are lost and teetering precariously on the edge of hopelessness. Erika currently lives in Northern, CA and has four children and three grandchildren.
