Poetry
The world desperately wants peace and so does the saint
Many Christians are tired of fighting and struggling
Our enemy has therefore presented the new ‘inner peace’ which
Many Christians have ventured into without understanding—
This movement into the higher self-clashes with the Cross of Calvary,
If other ways are right to reach God then ‘Christ died in vain’ and
That would make his blood unnecessary
Our aim is to share Jesus with the world but today
It appears that the Hindu’s and the Buddha’s are injecting
Their concepts into Christianity—
There are a lot of churches involved in this new paradigm shift and
The reality is that they want to uplift themselves to
A higher state of consciousness—
The methods found amongst some Christians
Especially when they pray include the mantra, yoga and deep breathing
This allows them to speak to someone else, which is not the Christian God
Techniques are done without love
It therefore becomes a practice, which takes you far away from God
Practices is mere repetition which Jesus was against—
He warned us not to use vain repetitions as the pagans do but
Today it is all about yourself and that is why many
Neglect the reality for praying for someone else
‘Centering prayer’ and contemplative prayer
Have become the new ‘craze’ in order to
Bring an inward peace; this method allows
The enemy to do as he pleases—
However, we know that prayer is not the peace
Jesus Christ is the peace
Why are Christians adopting Oriental practices?
God was angry when the Jews did this in the Old Testament and
Even today, Kabbalistic Jews practice new age style meditation
We do know that peace is needed in this world but
Our enemy is using peace as the greatest form of deception
No wonder Jesus brought a sword—
If other ways are right to reach God then ‘Christ died in vain’ and
That would make his blood unnecessary...
