THE LAMENTATIONS OF BLEEDING HEART!!
Oh, how the mighty have fallen into the ways of the world!
How the anointed lift their hands, not in worship, but in battle before the courts of men!
Is there no longer a balm in Gilead? Has Zion lost her judges,
that she now seeks justice from those who know not her God?
See, O heavens, and be appalled!
The daughters of Zion now stand before the seats of earthly kings,
calling upon strange laws to defend their names.
She who once lifted her voice to sing of grace and mercy
now calls for vengeance in the courts of them that know not the Lord.
Have you not read? Have you not heard?
"Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?
Do you not know that the saints shall judge the world?" (1 Corinthians 6:1-2)
But behold, they stand before the ungodly,
seeking recompense with the sword of Caesar.
Woe unto this generation!
For the children of the kingdom now war as though they belong to this world.
Did our Lord not say, “If anyone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also”? (Matthew 5:39)
But now, the cheek is not turned!! nay, the sword of the law is unsheathed!
Not long ago…
A shepherd, called to feed the flock, cast a lost sheep into the dungeons of men.
A brother stumbled, and instead of binding his wounds,
the rod of judgment was laid upon his back.
And now, another joins the march, seeking restitution,
not from the throne of grace, but from the throne of men.
Oh, tell me, you who sing the songs of Zion, you who lift your hands in worship, will the Lord be pleased?
Will the Master smile upon this when He returns?
Did He not say, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do”? (Luke 23:34)
Yet here, among His own, the cry is no longer “forgive” but “pay what you owe.”
What gospel is this?
Where is the gospel in this battle?
Behold, it is not for Christ, but for self.
It is not for the kingdom, but for pride.
And the people watch, and they learn.
The young ones observe and say,
"Is this the way of the Lord?
Shall we, too, demand justice with the law of men?"
Oh, earth, earth, earth! Hear the word of the Lord!
If we bite and devour one another, what shall become of us?
If judgment begins at the house of God, where shall the sinner stand?
REPENT, O children of Zion!
Return to the ways of your King!
Settle your matters before the throne of grace,
for what does it profit a man to win in the courts of men
and lose before the judgment seat of Christ?
Let the wise take heed, and let the church arise before it is too late!
