LAST WORDS

"Why should you
be beaten any more?
Why do you persist in rebellion?
Your whole head is injured,
your whole heart afflicted.
From the sole of your foot
to the top of your head
there is no soundness
only wounds and welts and open sores,
not cleansed or bandaged
or soothed with oil."
Isaiah 1:5-6

YOU
HOLD ON TO
THE
OLD WAY

YOU
GO THE WAY
YOU WERE TAUGHT
BY MAN

YOU
SPEAK WORDS
FROM THE BIBLE
BUT
YOU KNOW
NOT
THE AUTHOR

YOU
SPEAK AS ONE
WHO HAS EATEN
FROM
THE
TREE OF KNOWLEDGE
AND
NOT
TRULY TASTED
OF
ME
THE TREE OF LIFE

SATAN
IS
BEATING YOU
DOWN

HE IS
DEFEATING YOU
AT
EVERY ANGLE
BUT
YOU PERSIST
IN
YOUR WAYS

YOU
PERSIST
IN
THE
WAYS OF MAN

WHEN
WILL YOU LEARN?

WHEN
WILL YOU TRULY
CRY OUT
TO
KNOW
THE AUTHOR
OF
THE BOOK
YOU SPEND
SO MUCH TIME
STUDYING?

WHEN
WILL YOU REALIZE
THAT
I AM
AS MAN

I AM
TO KNOW ~ TO LOVE

I AM
NOT
A
LIST OF RULES
AND
REGULATIONS

I AM
NOT
A
"BLESSING TREE"
IN
THE SKY

I AM
NOT
YOUR SERVANT

YOU ARE
TO BE
MINE

YOU ARE
TO
KNOW
ME
AND
LOVE
ME
WITH
YOUR WHOLE
HEART, MIND AND SOUL

THERE
WILL NOT
BE
MANY MORE
WORDS SPOKEN
TO YOU
BEFORE
I
WILL BECOME
SILENT
AND
REMOVE
MY HOLY SPIRIT
FROM
WOOING
THOSE OF YOU
WHO
HOLD ON TO
YOUR
RELIGIOUS SPIRITS

YOU
CONDEMN
THE PEOPLE
FOR RULES
YOU
CANNOT
TRULY FOLLOW

YOU
LOOK
AT
THE MASSES
AND
SHAKE YOUR HEAD
AT
THEIR
SINS AND IGNORANCE
AND YET
YOU
HAVE
NO
SOUNDNESS
WITHIN
YOU

WHEN
WILL YOU LOOK
INTO
THE FACE
OF
THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL
AND
BE CHANGED?

THE
PHARISEES OF OLD
WERE BLINDED
TO
THE TRUTH

THEY
WERE BLINDED
BY
THEIR
OWN CHOICE

THEY CHOSE
NOT
TO SEE

I
OFFER YOU
THIS
WINDOW
OF
OPPORTUNITY
THOSE
OF YOU
WHO FOLLOW
THE RULES
AND
YET KNOW
ME
NOT

I
SPEAK TO YOU
TODAY

LAY IT DOWN
LAY IT ALL DOWN
FOR
ALL
YOUR WORKS
AND
WORDS
ARE OF
NOTHING
TO
ME
WITHOUT
YOUR LOVE

I
COULD
RAISE UP
ROCKS
TO DO
THE WORK
YOU
THINK YOU DO
FOR
THE KINGDOM

IF
YOU
DO NOT
TRULY
HAVE LOVE
FOR
ME
YOU HAVE NOTHING

WILL
YOU
COME
INTO
THE
INNER COURTS
AND
SUP
WITH
ME
OR
WILL YOU
REMAIN
ON
THE FRINGES
RECITING
YOUR WORDS
OF
WOE
AND
CONDEMNATION?

I
SPEAK TO YOU
TODAY
AND
GIVE YOU YET
ANOTHER CHANCE
TO
COME AND KNOW
ME
TO
COME AND EMBRACE
ME
TO
COME AND BE LOVED
BY
ME

YOU SERVE
ME
BUT
YOU
DO NOT
KNOW
ME
AND
I
WILL CONFESS
IN
THE END
THAT
I
TRULY KNOW YOU
NOT

THERE ARE
NO
SPECIAL WORDS
TO
COME
TO
ME

THERE ARE
NO
SECRET PASSAGES
TO
RECITE

THERE IS SIMPLY
A
WORD OF INVITATION
FROM
YOUR MOUTH
AND
A
GLANCE
FROM
YOUR EYES
AND
I
WILL COME
AND
CLEAN OUT
THE
EARTHEN VESSEL
OF
ITS
MAN-MADE LAWS
AND
MIND-TRIPS
AND
BRING FORTH
A
BRAND NEW HEART

WILL
YOU COME
THIS DAY
AND BE
CLEANSED
AND
MADE NEW?

WILL
YOU COME?

WILL YOU?

I LOVE YOU!

"'Come now
let us reason together,'
says the Lord.
Though your sins are like scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow;
though they are as red as crimson,
they shall be as wool.
If you are willing and obedient,
you will eat the best from the land;
but if you resist and rebel,
you will be devoured by the sword.'
For the mouth of the Lord
has spoken."
Isaiah 1:18-19
