Prophets Speak - People Hear
|
|
|
|
The words of the prophets ring in our ears,
|
|
that the return of Christ is very near;
|
|
the demons tremble in unholy fears,
|
|
while the saints wait rejoicing in joyous cheer.
|
|
|
|
The victory was bought in yester-day,
|
|
but the triumphant return will take away,
|
|
the seat of the wicked, the evil and stray
|
|
who refuse to believe in the gospel way.
|
|
|
|
Oh, give thanks to the Lord who bought back your life,
|
|
who arose to destroy the darkness and the strife,
|
|
He says, "only believe!" so that you will have life,
|
|
Oh, give thanks to the Lord -- be the Lamb’s wife.
|
|
|
|
Your eyes may be beholden from seeing all things now,
|
|
but the glory cloud is following you even now;
|
|
the Holy Ghost wants to show exactly how,
|
|
to live in His presence, and His eternal know-how.
|
|
|
|
Turn your eyes to the heavens and look in the light,
|
|
it will dispel all the darkness and destroy all fright,
|
|
you're a child of the daytime and no longer of night,
|
|
just look to your Savior to help you win every fight.
|
|
|
|
With your tongue you confess the things you believe,
|
|
with you heart you decide in what state you will leave,
|
|
by your spirit you will conquer, and by will achieve,
|
|
all that you need to do before you will leave.
|
|
|
|
The ‘god of this world’ will never understand,
|
|
what gave you the strength to be bold and to stand,
|
|
but the God of the Heavens will surely demand,
|
|
that the Devil let go the grip of his wicked hand!
|
|
|
|
Yes, the words of the prophets and bible tell all,
|
|
And we will most surely answer the call!!

Imagine for a moment that you are the ruler and creator of the universe.
You can do ANYTHING you want to do. You can think in a microsecond and what
you think becomes instant reality. Each and every time that you think, YOU
CREATE. Every time you create, a new manifestation of your own hands
materializes before your face. Without fail, you speak and it happens.
NOTHING happens without you making it happen!
|
|
|
|
After a while of creating, and doing whatever YOU wanted to do, and being
what YOU wanted to be, and enjoying the works of YOUR hands, what would you
still be lacking? |
|
|
|
One little boy in the room jumped up and shouted, "I know, I
know!" The teacher turned smiling and said, "And the answer
is?" |
|
|
|
The boy grinned, "Somebody to do something for ME!" |
|
|
|
And indeed therein is the revelation of what it is that is so important
to the ruler-creator of the universe. HE CAN DO ANYTHING HE WANTS, but only
someone else can do something FOR HIM that He never asked for. The plants
obey His every command. The waves roar when He thinks it, and the winds
whistle when He wills it. The rains fall, the dews settle, and the moisture
evaporates EXACTLY like He thought it should go. But with YOU it is not so!
With YOU it is voluntary! Ruler-Creator has created beings who have the
power to create (and thereby rule) too; not to the magnitude that HE can do
it, but with the same decision of THOUGHT AND WILL. YOU can CREATE love for
Him and HE FEELS LOVE! You can SING praise at HIM and He feels LOVED. You
can talk to HIM and affect His heart in a way that NO OTHER LIVING THING CAN
DO. There is NO ONE that is YOU. What you give to Him of yourself is
something that this ALMIGHTY ruler and creator could never ‘create’ by
merely thinking it into existence, nor rule by His power. |
|
Hasn’t He done a lot for YOU? Can’t you hear Him say, ‘What about
Me? |
