    how many lepers were in Israel in the days of elisha
    were any of israel cleansed, but the arm of God was not
    too short to save, nor his servants too weak to rescue all men
    from the effects of sin but God is sovereign and his faithful servants serve

    isaac newton joins the queue of peter paul apollo too
    whom men would seek as alternative leaders
    to the appointed Lord
    Jesus Christ

    meekness is heaven's foil for satanic power play
    other cheek to target makes such anger dissipate
    those whose hopes not on earth find amazing peace,
    unperturbed by grand illusions, dire threats, seductive
    offers, short term lack being sustained now and evermore
    by bread of angels, never seen, except by inner vision given.

    the teacher told us all about hades and the place of waiting for the lost
    and he warned us not to ignore his friends asking at the door who lack
    the necessities of life only seeking a fair share but instead men say
    it can't be true there can be no such place and it's all an allegory
    based on something untrue, pointing out illogic, seeming strange,
    from human points of view as if we, the ignorant, could prove
    as wrong the rabbi, blessed of God, the walking word, truth
    incarnate but it seems some take his words with salting,
    found unpalatable as writ, hardly understanding that
    truth stands, we lack, we learn and do not teach,
    as the lord from heaven he knows these things,
    not understanding the open door to sitting
    at his feet, he spoke the words of God
    the Spirit and life is in those words
    how can we teach his God?

    we call him lord, yessir we do, his great teachings we admire
    we hold them up, they're read in awe at every service here,
    he is a teacher blessed by God, we do recognise that fact,
    but certain words he said we have to treat with a little tact
    what we can grasp that fits our lives we completely accept
    we don't think our lord commands we believe all that he said
    as if those words are truth, rather more useful to complement
    what our human leaders and scientists teach, commonsense,
    in fact we think the ten commands are much an easier guide
    as we are keeping track of all our righteous actions complete
    while limiting all our contacts to those few who think as we do
    a tidy package you'll agree we think we've covered every base
    why is my heart so anxious, Lord, where is the promised peace

    i asked the master to be my lord as saviour so therefore he must be
    at least that is what the preacher said who am i to question him
    i tried to find all this in the bible but it seems it is not there
    so i guess this must be something new they've figured out
    who knows from where, so it does not seem to matter now to
    obey every line but what works is fine OK, lets sing another song
    we're soldiers marching to our tune, hang on, i hope he doesn't mind

    if satan does not exist then man has a bigger problem as
    sin is laid at his doorstep and the ruler of the world has been
    judged and now it is time for the harvest to see which fruits have
    set and to tell which tree from which they formed and to which place
    they now belong, man has no inheritance at all, he goes where he is driven
    helpless even to understand how it can all happen unless he hears words of God
    that takes root within his heart, leads him to respond to grace, obey simple demands
    his only hope is conscience dregs, enough to produce some signs of life adam originally given.

    adam's choice at first was wrong to follow satan's lead
    and stealing fruit not planned for him left conscience as guide
    instead of God's fathering hand he had to daily choose
    one choice was death, the other life, his sons to demonstrate
    abandoned in another's realm most failed to negotiate
    the challenges to faith in earth when short term gains offered
    abel will inherit cain must wait to see if mercy triumphant

    a good sower seeks for fallow ground all tilled and readied well
    avoiding where coarse weeds are rampant thistles overwhelm
    repentance is the scythe that lays the weeds upon the soil
    exposing earth for seed rebirth, life's everlasting Harvest

    simon magus sought to add more magic to his circus trade
    already famous, not enough, he wanted the Spirit to entertain
    but soul exposed in Peter's gaze his nefarious ways laid out
    God comes to rule not be misused repentance first, foremost,
    baptism without change of heart, Spirit's temple yet unclean

    some look at the world's religious options as a smorgasbord
    from which we can take nibbles, mix and match as we please
    no difference is see between one and another, man chooses
    what seems right and discards what does not appeal to form
    a god of their own design to be worshiped how they feel fit
    as for some reason they feel it is in some way helpful to be
    religious:and they are right, human religions are purposeless,
    all the same by different names, fine forms of futility at best
    but the sons of the God of Israel know Him, are known of Him
    their worship is of Spirit and truth in the temple of the heart
    their religion expressed in actions to the needy friends of God

    I feel bound
    I feel tied down
    In His house.
    My God
    Has given me His Laws
    613 Laws that I must obey
    That I cannot obey
    Which I must obey
    That are so difficult to obey,
    Sarifices I offer every day
    For my sins to be taken away,
    Sacrifices my Lord does not want,
    Sacrifice has become pigs blood to Him
    Sacrificial ox has become a mans life
    To our Great God in heaven.
    A new room has been built
    A room that is difficult to see
    A room where the individuals find their way
    Where the meek will find their rest
    And the poor will find their being.
    Grace is the furniture of this room
    Faith the atmosphere
    And Jesus the door.

    graven image of …. gold words

    2Ki 21:7 And he set a graven image of the grove that he had made in the house, of which the LORD said to David, and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:

    ——————————————————————————–

    2Ch 4:19 And Solomon made all the vessels that [were for] the house of God, the golden altar also, and the tables whereon the shewbread [was set];

    ——————————————————————————–

    2Ch 6:13 For Solomon had made a brasen scaffold, of five cubits long, and five cubits broad, and three cubits high, and had set it in the midst of the court: and upon it he stood, and kneeled down upon his knees before all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven,
    2Ch 33:7  And he set a carved image, the idol which he had made, in the house of God, of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen before all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:

    that deceiver said he would rise again in three days
    if you are the son of God come down from the cross
    jeering and mocking voices of men echoing through time
    now say you spoke for your time in words of your culture
    we now know new, better teachers that will put you to shame
    they must be even more endowed with God's Spirit if they know more

    but

    no book, no library, no museum can encompass
    the everlasting power of Christ's words
    let the shame fall where is belongs,
    in the vain minds of carnal men

    Fools claim to own and prate with false authority of the Spirit of God
    apportion to others of whom they approve the Cause of sweet power
    the sliver of heavenly light reverberating around the world entrancing
    emboldening the men of dirt, quicksilver glory that heals and revealing
    guides and expounds the lifeline of heart hope that they cannot know
