It Must be Karma

"Before God can select you, the world must reject you. You can do it willingly, or God will help you accept the process of Election." ~ Roy E Stewart, Pastor, Green Meadow Missionary Baptist Church, 1980

5 “If you have run with the footmen, and they have wearied you, Then how can you contend with horses? And if in the land of peace, In which you trusted, they wearied you, Then how will you do in the floodplain [ swelling, KJV] of the Jordan? 6 For even your brothers, the house of your father, Even they have dealt treacherously with you; Yes, they have called a multitude after you. Do not believe them, Even though they speak smooth words to you” (Jeremiah 12:5-6).

Death is Coming

God sent us warnings in dreams and visions

But we ignored them for pipe dreams.

It came to us in the still small voice of the silence,

But we didn’t hear it, we were too busy with nothing.

They called us on the phone of the Spirit. 

Lazy-mindedness neglected to pick it up.

So, we missed it.

She haunted us through the voices of our Ancestors –

Voices we didn’t even know, so we didn’t believe them….

The seed planted was about to bear fruit. Chop it down.

Chop it down. Chop it down and kill the root.

That which it will bear is the evilest fruit. 

The fruit it is bearing now is dressed in the vilest suit.

The children will eat it and cry out for its addictiveness.

They’ll grow up learning to live and die for the love of it.

The adults will lust after it as they do their bodies. 

The onlookers will be envious, or they’ll flee from it.

There’s a foreboding, smothering fearfulness being near it.
