Author's Notes: For all the disbelievers out there, shut up. No I'm kidding, I pray that you will figure yourselves out. If you ever felt like you've been alone and depressed. That the world sucks like a total fudgeo brownie covered in swamp slime then you're not alone. People who have believe in Christ have been there. My testimony to you is this. I have been into dark places in my life. Places where I've been rejected and abandoned. The LORD HEALED ME. A PERSON WHO TOOK LITTLE TO NO TIME SINNING BY SWEARING, LYING and I'm STILL fighting that now. IN THE PRESENT. I have gotten through those feelings because I just gave myself up to the Lord and asked for forgiveness and healing. You don't believe and that's fine but I've got a challenge for you after reading this poem, why do feel like you've been persecuted by your beliefs? Why do you say you're not tolerated by those of the Christian faith? Why do you feel like nothing and that the past just keeps repeating itself? THERE ARE WAYS TO GET AROUND THOSE BARRIORS AND THROUGH THOSE BARRIERS. THOSE WAYS ARE FOUND BY ASKING YOURSELF WHY YOU'RE DOING THE THINGS YOU DO. DON'T STOP SKIN DEEP. START AT THE VERY BOTTOM OF YOUR HEART. WHEREVER THAT MAY BE. GET RID OF YOUR WORRIES AND PAINS NOT THROUGH DEATH BUT BY LOOKING INTO YOUR HEART AND SOUL WITH ALL THE COURAGE YOU HAVE TO FIND THE LIGHT OF LIFE IN YOU! That is my challenge to you and I unleash you this.
The truth comes like a herald
Piping his golden horn
Calling the people from their homes
"WAKE UP! STAND ALIVE! THE GREAT LORD IS COMING!"
The time of heartaches has passed
The time of famine diminished
RISE UP, WAKE UP AND BE RENEWED
People of Babylon you dismiss the slaves
Thinking them dull, insipid and constipated with lies
That they are nothing but the dirt you step on
Alas! You do not know that it is from that very earth you come
And into the deepest pit of the earth is where you will go
THE TRUTH IS THIS
GOD WAS NOT FOUNDED ON DOGMA
HE WAS THE MAKER OF LOVE
THE CREATOR OF TRUTH
AND WHAT YOU SEEK IS NOT TRUTH
AND IF YOU FIND HAPPINESS IN THE WEBS
CREATED BY THE GREATEST LIAR
THEN SO BE IT!
Punishment? It's been given and handed down on you
You say you dislike the Spanish Inquisition
The witch tials, the crusades, the Johnstown massacre,
Heaven's gate, the Jihads of this century
That the Bible speaks out against these tales of curelty
HOW DECIEVED YOU HAVE BEEN!
HOW MANY LIES YOU HAVE BEEN FED!
YOUR VERY BELLIES BLOATED BY THE CRUELTY AND INJUSTICE
What about the persecution of the Church
When the world was run by pharisees and emperors
Who cut off the believers of the world
Because of intolerance
Now we live in an age that values independence
And tolerance of other nations, ethnicities, disabilities and personalities
Where is your tolerance now?
YOU ASK OF US TO FORGIVE AND TO FORGET
YOU ASK OF US TO CONFORM TO THE WAYS OF THE WORLD
TO BE "NORMAL" IN YOUR EYES
WHAT IS "NORMAL" TO YOU?
YOU SAY THAT IT IS THE DOCTRINE YOU HATE
DO YOU NOT KNOW? Oh one who has been blessed in the knowledge of such things
That doctrine is something created by human hands
Based on the teachings of the LORD
That doctrine is important but so is the spirit of the LORD?
Churches are scared to move through the spirit
Others are so alive with the fire that their entire congregations are burning up
What is the difference?
The difference is the actual belief on appearance or the spirit of Christ
I AM A BELIEVER OF THE TRUTH
I AM A BELIEVER FOR JUSTICE
THOSE ACTS COMMITTED UNDER THE NAME OF THE LORD
WERE COMMITTED UNDER THE VEIL OF THE ENEMY
WE HAVE MOVED ON.
YOU HAVE NOT.
GET OVER IT.
LIVE NOW
BE FREE.
Still you bring up things like the trials of witches
Trials about superstions and crusades for the right
FOOL! This world is no longer about those things
Though they've been handed down through the generations
It is the sins of our fathers and mothers holding us back
For that price we must pay but
THERE IS HOPE!
Hope in trusting and believing in the LORD
HOPE IN THE FUTURE KNOWN YET UNCLEAR TO US
Repent of our silence, it is time to speak
It is time to dance upon injustice
It is time to speak to the bones dried up and prophesy
It is time to heal in the name of Jesus Christ
ZEALOTS RISE! WARRIORS OF THE LORD ALMIGHTY SHINE YOUR SWORDS
PREPARE FOR THE BATTLE OF SOULS AND OUR WORLD
Take heed those who disbelieve
You are going to get your punishment too
For none is exempt in the judgement made by the righteous King
No one is left behind to settle on continuing their ways
Why do you run away?
Why do you fear?
FOR THERE IS NOTHING TO FEAR. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
