Fear Is Faith Is Fear Is (Poem)

 

Ever heard of this: good and bad gravity?

What about the same for electricity,

Aerodynamics and centrifugal force?

Nope, each IS exactly what it IS, of course.

While driving your car, what force do you trust?

Forward or backward, the force is called ‘thrust’.

In both directions, you can’t go at once!

That goes against the strict laws of science.

While we all understand this, physically,

Why should it not apply spiritually?

God, Who ordained one, also ordained the other.

Do they change just because their use is flipped over?

God created faith as His ‘force creative’.

To work when with Him we are ‘consultative’.

Things for which we hope, to us are attracted.

Needs met, desires filled, as in Love we’ve acted.

Fear is faith that has become corrupted,

When selfishly our lives are conducted.

Just because our ‘faith switches’ have been flipped,

Doesn’t change the ‘energy or force’ we’ve gripped.

Faith: Substance of things you hope for, coming near.

Fear: Substance of things you dread, also appear.

Fear: Misplaced faith. To you let’s hope this is clear.

Four times God said, ‘Live/walk by faith!’, yet we veer.

Angels and devils alike have been dispatched,

Both armed with powers that, to us, are un-matched.

By our creative force they are authorized,

By our words and acts, their powers aggrandized. 

In God’s image we all have been created,

To live by faith, though it’s always berated.

Flip your switch if your faith has become jaded, 

So things you don’t hope for... can be evaded.

Faith in God comes by hearing His Word and ‘voice’,

As you do, turning from fear is a clear choice.

As darkness must flee wherever light shines bright,

Strong faith automatically puts fears to flight.

Faith in God’s Word pleases Him to no end.

There’s no telling what blessings He’ll send.

But...

Devilish traps and schemes sent from you to steal,

Always use ‘False Evidence Appearing Real’.
