EDITOR COMMENT
What makes Joseph Soloman's spoken word poem "A Shadown Of A Doubt" so good is not just its words, but also how he delivered them.

Here's information about spoken word from
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoken_word
"Spoken word is performance-based poetry that is focused on the aesthetics of word play and story-telling. It often includes collaboration and experimentation with other art forms such as music, theater, and dance. There is no mandatory manner in which someone should perform, however, there are aspects of the artistry that indicate it is, indeed, spoken word. Spoken word usually tends to focus on the performance of the words themselves, the dynamics of tone, gestures, facial expressions, and more. Poetic components such as rhyme, repetition, slang, improvisation, and many more elements of poetry can be woven to create an atmosphere the audience can experience."

In my opinion, this poem by Joseph Soloman serves as an excellant example of this performance art.

"Doubt Your Doubts, Till death brings us Closer!! ^.^!! Crazy Awesome!! LOVING your God Inspired Poetry!!! Keep'em Coming!! Stay Powerful! Peace And Blessings Fam!!! <3" ** Makayla Lynn, 2014 "This really got to me because I STAY having moments of doubt on if God hears me ramble throughout the night. It sounds dramatic, but I swear I stare at the ceiling and just wish that I KNEW whatever it is thats keeping me from believing that every word is heard by Him. It's scary... but just hearing people speak about the same issues and knowing that others doubt and move forward, despite their hesitations, helps me believe that my rambles don't actually go unheard like I think they do. You really help people Joe, and we all appreciate it. <3" **** SPOKEN WORD ARTIST'S STATEMENT AND ADDITIONAL SELECTED COMMENTS FROM THIS SPOKEN WORD'S FACEBOOK PAGE https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=839890369362626

[quoting the poem] "Honestly, I've considered quitting, but where will I go? Back? There's no home for the living in the land of the dead....'Doubt your doubts and you will find that they are just as empty as the tomb I walked from.'"

This is so true!

Jehovah Jireh & Other Praise Names For God In Christian Songs

Edited by Azizi Powell

PRAISE NAMES FOR GOD

From http://www.aboundingjoy.com/Bible%20studies/Names%20Of%20God.htm written by Steve Hall; 1999)

Elohim
The first name we find of God in the Bible is Elohim. (Genesis 1:1). It is used over 2700 times in the Bible. The prefix "El" signifies "one who is great, mighty, dreadful." It is also a plural word that suggests the fact that God is a Holy Trinity--Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. …

El Shaddai
..El Shaddai is another name for God. It is used 48 times in Scripture. It is always translated "The Almighty." The first time this name is used is in Genesis 17:1 And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect...

Adonai
A 3rd name that God uses for Himself is Adonai. It occurs about 300 times in the O.T. This name suggests Lordship and ownership. When God calls Himself by this name, Adonai, He is saying, "I am the One who owns and rules over everthing that exists."...

Yahweh
...The most frequently used name for God is YAHWEH or Jehovah.

It occurs more than 6800 times in the Bible…
The Word literally means "I Am." It comes from the verb which means "to be" or "to exist."

Jehovah-Jireh
...Jehovah Jireh is found in Genesis 22:14. It literally means "The Lord Provides."...

We used to sing a little song that said, "Jehovah Jireh, my Provider, His grace is sufficient for me. My God shall supply all my needs according to His riches in Glory. He gives His angels charge over me, Jehovah Jireh cares for me."

Jehovah Nissi.
...This is found in Exodus 17:15. It literally means "God, my Banner or God my Standard of Victory" In Exodus 17:15 Moses named an Altar he built after this name of God. ("And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovah nissi")Ezek 48:35. It is the last verse in the book of Ezekiel.

Jehovah Shammah
The last part of the vision of Ezekiel was of a new city, with a new temple. It was to be glorious. And the last words of this verse tell us the name of the city. In Hebrew is ... a compound name of God--Jehovah-Shammah. He is "The Eternal God who is There."
