Memories
How carefully we hold on to our past,
in memory and in action;
Restoring our homes, retracing our steps,
in search of some satisfaction....
Even revisiting where Jesus walked;
Expressing great sorrow in all of our talk.
Has this been subtly engineered,
with religion reigning supreme;
A way to make money for the Gospel’s sake,
while we’re merchandising the King?
Be careful your motives; The Gospel is free;
It’s faith that brings riches, not subtlety
If He wants you to visit, He’ll tell you to move;
Was He even asked or are you being used....
to keep Him bound and still in the grave;
While you reign as lord and He stays decayed?
Well, that was then and this is now;
Can we make Him alive today somehow?
With nothing happening with Him today;
Without me hearing what He has to say;
I wonder, does this chain me to the past,
and in action or memory keep me compassed....
With not letting Him be raised from the dead;
and keeping me worshiping memory instead.
Those familiar spirits, I’ve mentioned before,
love to lure me back thru memory’s door;
What a clever way of complacency:
to keep me bound with memory!
I can see this played out in so many ways;
Even in the pain we had yesterday;
Or will I allow religion’s actions
demand that I suffer for it’s satisfaction?
Would I ever think of confessing the sin,
that the problem is still not believing Him;
For not expecting to manifest
that He said I am perfect and can pass the test....
Of winning with all opposing lies,
that are draining my strength
and making me hide....
Back in the portholes of memory’s prison;
Today laying dead; The Son has not risen!
Now, this could be the memory tomorrow;
Or I could get mad and walk out of such sorrow,
and redeem the time to hear what He’s said:
To turn this around and let memory lay dead.
The heat is turned up now because we are a threat;
Well, he hasn’t been able to kill us yet!
Will you get off that road and do business today;
I have more for you
and much more to say:
I’d like to address this business of Sin;
That’s a good place to begin again;
In fact, it’s imperative; The very foundation;
Building on less has crumbled great nations.
So far, you have seen this only in theory;
Otherwise you could rest and not be so weary.
You start out to prove Me with your own strength;
You do mighty works and go to great lengths;
Do you think that your works can compare to Mine?
Look around at Creation and you might find....
I’ve prepared this for you so that you might see:
How very important you are to Me!!!
Now, if you can believe that you can’t be condemned,
We’ll take this land together, My friend;
But, don’t take one step until you are persuaded:
That I paid for you and this can’t be negated!
I’ve created you to experience Me;
But your doubt takes you back into memory,
Well, what stops the doubt and kills condemnation?
Each issue addressed with My explanation.
You’ve learned enough to know the way;
But un-submitted, you will go astray;
This is wherein comes all of your doubt;
Your foundation then crumbles from the inside out.
You ask Me to do what I’ve already done;
You can’t seem to believe that the victory is won.
Why don’t you ask Me how to maintain,
your body that houses Me?
You don’t need healing; You need instruction,
to protect you from continuing in
mal-function.
Oh, I will restore the parts that you’ve damaged;
That’s part of My great design:
To pay for the curse to all My Creation
and present My Life to mankind.
I do have a question that needs explanation:
What if I fail and can’t run?
Failure is never in My equation;
The battle is already won.
Since I Am in you and you are in Me;
Let Me instruct you to victory.
The issue is never condemnation;
It’s: Will you allow My manifestation....
So you can grow up right here at My knee?
This keeps you safe and glorify’s Me.
