Freedom's Folly

 

The greatest con Satan has foisted on an unsuspecting mankind, 

is the idea we are free to do our own will as we live out our lives.

The idea of "free will" is rooted in pride,

for the idea that we are gods unto ourselves is a terrible lie.

Of a truth, we are not free in this flesh - no, we are all slaves,

either to be righteous or to be depraved.

We either follow Christ and Him we obey

or we follow the leading of the Anti-Christ, who blinds our hearts and leads us astray.

We have no choice throughout our days -

we've been predestined to be damned or to be saved.

So the question really is - to whom are you enslaved?

To sin? Or the conqueror of sin?

Do you serve your flesh or the Holy Spirit within?

Your only "choice" as a slave, is obedience to one or the other.

The same temptations face every sister and brother,

so do not believe the lie that you're free,

totally submit to the Master of your flesh willingly,

to be a servant in His house forevermore-

Nail your ear to Heaven's door,

listen to and obey His voice alone,

that you may dwell forever in His home....
