F.E.A.R

Focused Energy Against Righteousness

What happens?

When fear becomes a habit

When we cling to it like magnets

And we become stuck, stale and stagnant

And in the walk of life our feet become absent

And failure is our accent once we’re acting like the captain

What happens?

When we settle for the stability of our deficiencies

And Fear becomes the epitome of our misused energy

What happens?

 A preacher once told me this story….

One day the truth and a lie went for a swim

And the truth disrobed and jumped in

A lie disrobes and took the truth’s clothes

Now we have people believing a dressed-up lie rather than the naked truth.

What happens

When us as holy mess-ups believe a religious dress-up?

But I thought honesty was the best policy

It must not be if these unbelievers aren’t quite fond of me.

And look upon me with animosity

Like I owe them an apology

But take note that they hated Christ before looking at His biography

So I’m not surprised that they hate our Christ-like philosophy

Because of fear, they’re rooted in the economy of mediocrity

And they don’t understand our terminology.

A fearful mind functions out of curiosity

They search for truth but with too much velocity

And they grasp the first policy that they think operates properly

But they properly operate this life out of commodity

Playing God like He’s Uno or monopoly

And this fact remains a hypocrisy

But they throw it to the side like they’re living honestly

But honestly, they’re abusing God’s grace constantly and viewing it as pure comedy

Serving gods without the apostrophe and living according to a faulty theology

What happened?

Fear allows conflict to create a cancer that creeps into the heart of Christians and conceives our confinement.

This cripples our character into an unclean cause.

I’ll tell you what happened

You were lacking and left your gates open while the enemy was attacking.

This resulted in F.E.A.R, Focused Energy Against Righteousness.
