CONVICTION

CONVICTION

in order to bring peace
there must be war
these words will offend thee
its the two edged sword

if God created good
then God created evil
Jesus is Gods arm
that carries all the people

i saw a divine revelation
Jesus is God
take your heart back from satan
or get burned with the hogs

its in our generation
that the anti Christ will rise
but then comes Jesus
He's coming to get his bride

after death and destruction
he gives everlasting life
what about my unsaved cousin
how will i say goodbye

and then my unsaved father
i cant watch him die
plus my sons and my daughters
my mother and my wife

there souls are damned forever
why didn't I talk more about Christ
why didn't I call each one
and say a prayer every night

maybe if i just would have said
you are the reason Jesus died
i wish i said i love you
every time that you cried

i told you the truth about drugs
but not the whole truth about God
He's coming real soon
your either His or your not

i showed you how to store money
instead of treasures in heaven
i taught you how to count money
instead of how to count blessings

i made you feel less than me
forgive my lack of dignity
when i called you all those names
i could have spoke in peace

i should have said time for prayer
instead of time to go to sleep
how will i ever bear
you live with demons beneath my feet

I wrote CONVICTION last night and I am sure it is a writing I will continue sometime in the future. Another Christian writing that touches on some areas many manage to avoid. I wrote it while listening to an instrumental from the David Crowder Band. The instrumental is called "Coming Toward" from their CD entitled Illuminate. I was writing CONVICTION in a rap format from beginning to end but as you see in the midst of my writing I was convicted of having to face something I never accepted in the seriousness that it is.

I thought about those that I love most in my life. Then I imagined myself during our great day of judgment being accepted into God's Kingdom. So how can something so good go so bad? Then I thought about looking back and seeing those whom I love most being sentenced to eternal damnation. Just the thought of my children or any that I love spending eternity with Satan, his demons and all those who gave their hearts to darkness is unbearable. I tried not to let these thoughts make me cry but I couldn't hold it in. I felt so overwhelmed, and then I felt enormous guilt feelings like it was my fault because of my influence on their lives and every other person I come in contact with everyday. Finally I was "convicted" and I thought about how this time is still yet to come and that every second is now an opportunity to share the love of Jesus Christ to them in my burning desire for them to enter everlasting life with Almighty God.

I never did quite fully understand why the bible said that former things will pass away.

Rev 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

Did that mean I wouldn't remember memories of my wife, children, family and friends in everlasting life? No answer was ever satisfying to me so maybe it wasn't suppose to be. But, after my conviction last night I now think maybe the former things that will be forgotten is in fact the memories of those who did not make it. However, I believe we will remember everyone in heaven that gave their hearts to God while on earth so the only thing we lose is the memory of those who will live in darkness. It is such a nasty thought to think of someone you love living in eternal darkness but we should acknowledge this thought and make it our conviction to let the Light of God shine from within us in order to prevent these loved ones being lost forever in Hell.

Glory to GOD,
