Of Living Water at Liberty

By Seth Alan Henigman

I believe the Holy Spirit annointed me and allowed this poetry to flow through me as prior to this experience of writing and publishing this chapbook I was in a state of depression after a very trying time in my life that had me feeling defeated and lifeless. I prayed that God would give me the words to write a book to occupy my time and give me something to live for, shortly after I started waking up each morning with a new poem that I wrote down and eventually compiled and organized together to self publish this book, having very little knowledge of the use of any Word program or the use of a computer at that time although since been busy at work to complete the task of self publishing my first book, which for myself is quite an accomplishment and I am grateful for my answered prayer that has since then, many of these poems later being professionally composed and recorded by successful musicians from different Countries making Christian music of different genres, later also creating my own YouTube channel that promotes the Gospel of Jesus Christ to many growing subscribers. To God be the Glory for he truly is wonderful.

 Hello, a little about myself. I was chosen by God to be his at a very young age, perhaps because my biological father wasn't in the picture. I was around six years old when I first picked up a King James Bible and prayed to Our Father to be mine. He more than answered my prayer as he led me to his Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ who I asked that he would come into my heart and at that moment i felt my inner self tremble and I will never doubt that I felt His Spirit enter into my own. I am now 45 years old and i have lived in disobedience throughout the years with all kinds of sin and iniquity. including drug and alcohol abuse. I also am diagnosed bi-polar which causes schitzophrenia. I have had many amazing occurences with experiencing the presence of God, though for quite some time i was unsure if my encounters were in fact that of My God or maybe hillucenations as a result of my illness. Its been quite an experience over the years and I know I don't have all the answers. I didn't spend a fraction of the time I should have studying Scripture though I am getting on track now and am coming to experience a peace that is new to me. Thanks for taking an interest and reading this short bio. God bless you

The Fall of the First

---

In his image

made, He, a man of mud.

With spittle in hand, then dust.

With the breath of life, the man came alive.

To man, He gave a woman

Made of his rib, of his own kind

Because he shouldn't be alone,

It was love at first sight

Paradise, a great place of delight

The lustrous trees burdened with nourishing fruits

The clean river running its course

The critters of the pastures

"Anything goes, just don't eat

off the knowledge tree"

God had told the first man in Eden

But a serpent came, cunning and deceitful

There he did plead, "eat of the tree, I tell you it's good.

You'll do as though your Father would."

Curious and confused, they took a bite

And their eyes were opened to know evil from good.

That is how sin made its way into the world

For which a price would surely be paid,

and all who delight will surely fight,

to do what’s good, within His sight.

They ran and hid from The Creator's call,

They knew right then that was the fall.

He punished the two

and from that point on,

Man must make a living by the sweat of his brow, This holds up until now.

Women will give birth in tears and pain

We’ll be plagued before we make the gain

Our choices will become our fates

For it’s our destiny to choose to win or lose

My Miracle Way Maker

The foolish man

Built his house upon the sand

The storms came and washed it away

Ruined all the work he did that day.

Beginning again,

he did the same

until indeed it drove him insane.

Then one day,

God washed away

all the rubble and showed the way.

Right there, the man understood

that God indeed is always good.

He dug a hole, deep as he could,

until upon a
