RHETORIC 2018 | Micah Bournes - "Freakshow"

Check out one of our featured poets, Micah Bournes, as he goes way below the surface with his poem "Freakshow". Then stick around for his second piece, "THINGS I KNOW FOR SURE". He truly broke down some walls in the hearts and minds of those listening.
​"When the saints go marching in, it will not be a parade of the almost perfect. God does not reserve grace for those who only need a little bit.​ The healthy are in no need of a doctor. The healer is for the sick. Heaven, will be a freak show."

What boldness you have. This absolutely blew my mind. You better stand flat footed and keep on talking. I am assured that God smiled down at His beloved (you) during your moment on stage.

[@milliem1061]

I am shook!! Everyone should be shook too. Somehow we have forgotten Christ came for the "freak show", the misfit and his enemies(the gentiles/sinners). Yet the church has ignored or worse persecuted these very ones. May we truly understand the grace He showed us. And maybe we will love others with His heart. This is a sermon that needs sharing. Kudos @MicahBournes

[@miracleifechukwu7953]

Waoh!! By the end of the first poem, my vision was blurred by more than a few tears.

[@user-rq1sx9bv4m]

God says judge not because He holds no account...His mercy endureth FOREVER He loves us all. I had to forgive the acts of old and the folks that I thought destroyed me...hibd sight beibg 20/20 I thank God for it now

[@keithcullen564]

Micah, it's inspiring and encouraging to see that your faith in Christ is as solid as can be. I haven't tapped into your genius since about 2013... so it's been a minute. Glad to hear that you sound the same, but with growth, too, man. Keep spreading the Word.

[@mariahadams972]

1st poem: Now that's what I call the gospel! 2nd poem: Love how you seperate republican from Christian. People be thinkin they're synonymous around here!

[@nobesuthugubevu6642]

Wow. Wow. Everyone needs to hear this... 😩

[@antoinitaviolette4140]

Enjoyed the first poem... Thank you for sharing! and I hope we keep loving, like you said, basically, Don’t count ourselves superior, for the only One “Who made us to differ” is Jesus, and, like He says, What do you have that you have not been given. God is a He, but has the characteristics of Himself that He gave to a woman. He is called Father, and so many other names, yet He is male.

[@justinbergen3724]

Antoinita Violette I was confused by that one line too! Love Micah Bournes though and I don’t think it’s what it sounds like he meant

[@antoinitaviolette4140]

Justin D Bergen x Lil Guac oh yeah! but you just never know because so many people are trying to squeeze in their own philosophies as what is true for all, though I get your point. He and God knows what he meant or what the intent was. Gotcha!

[@jmars807]

Wow! Amazing!

[@tiffanyd.9274]

Thank You! For putting eloquent words to a conviction in my heart. When asked to pray for the abused I always ask.. What about the abuser? "The healer is for the sick. Heaven will be a freakshow!"

[@sykamene6058]

Goodness You are revolutionary So much more Thank you

[@tangyestephney8296]

Awesome!

[@bparraz2011]

Love it! Challenged the mind and thinking of "religious" people

[@Chanfb915]

Wow thought provoking

[@fedinandcomputersolutionsf8725]

NICE ONE...PLEASE UPLOAD MORE VIDEOS..HAVE SEEN ALL THIS

[@khosita7467]

Wow wow wow

[@tasselah1953]

Antoinita Violette Yeah...did I miss some thing? What was he talking about in that second one?? Sounded like the new age ‘spiritual’ black folks I talk to...

[@GoHeadGyrl]

Yeah. I was there that night. First one blew me away. The 2nd one had me doing a Scooby-Doo "huh"?!?😁 I just prayed it was metaphorical, bcuz if literal... Chyyyllleee...

[@kyral7362]

I may be wrong. This is just my perception: there seem to be two versions of him. Micah the Christian and Micah the Hebrew Israelite. Micah the disciple and Micah the philosopher. The spirit and the flesh in battle.

[@VEssELmike]

Dear Micah Bournes I felt you gave a very well thought out and creative poem known as Freakshow. However Jesus prayed "Our Father who art in heaven...THY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN. Heaven is a place where God will is done and if un-repented sinners where to be allowed to roam wildly Heaven wouldn't be Heaven anymore, but Earth. God doesn't make slaves and our created souls free will will not be stripped away. Our unbridled appetites will not be chained for us by God, because God expects us to master ourselves before we reach Heaven. My time is short, but without this the fall from the garden or the war that cast lucifer from hell would happen all over again. Christ blood washes us from our past sins and not sins we are proud to still hold. I hope you prayerfully consider my point of view. Grace and Peace brother.

[@sspann11]

Regarding the second poem. If your "wokeness" isn't rooted in the word of God, you're just sleepwalking.

[@safsam1]

Thiiiiiisssssssss

[@miringukuria4512]

Heaven will be a freakshow

[@charlesellis6078]

The truth is that those you think will be in heaven won't.

[@AFROcentricFLO]

Did he say God was woman? Can someone clarify for me?

[@crystal2229]

Marissa Jones The entire poem he reference God as he, but in that one part he says “God is as much women as she is a man.” Because women give life or create life and so does God so in that respect he saying women are like God.
