Govori mi kao u viđenju
Duša patnica
Što te povuče za ruku
Iz sna
Moli za mene
Ispovijeda se
Stvari koje sam žarko želio:
Posjedovati ljepotu svijeta
Između dvije šake
Ne dozvoliti da Ljepota prođe pored tebe
Kao Krist pored naroda otvrdlog srca
Pustiti srce da se topi kao zavjetna svijeća
Kao loj žrtve paljenice
Zgrabiti svakog sa lijepim licem
Ljubiti i tražiti
Tražio sam je svuda
U sobama, parkovima
Prljavim mjestima
Moli za moje obraćenje,
govori kao redovnik bez imena
U bijelom habitu
Što pozdravlja odlazeće
Hodočasnike
U mojim grijesima, kao da kaže
Bilo je čežnje
Za nečim drugim
Za potpunim posjedovanjem
Padao sam sa višespratnica
Uvijek u nadi da ću pasti
U neko beskrajno naručje
Radio sam smjele stvari,
Lomio sam kosti
U sobama i krevetima
Padao među jastuke
Gužvao posteljinu
Pod oblačnim nebom gradova
U sterilnim zgradama
Ljubio silno
Kao novozavjetna bludnica
Išao kao pas
Četvoronoške
Lajao
Vrtio repom
Gledao krupnim očima molećivo
Glodao kosti
Grizao očnjacima
Tražio mrvice
Nosio teret krivice, svjetsku bol
Pomozi mi iskupiti moje grijehe
Beskrajno romantizovati
Grešnika
U mučenika
Pobožno oprostiti sve
Želio sam posjedovati ljepotu
Tražio iskupljenje
Skitao gradovima
Gledao besramno
Padao u pijani zanos
U sobama što se okreću
Stavljao crvene marame preko lampi
Mi smo sada kao Ginzberg
I Keruak u Frisku
U nekom drugom
Beskrajnom, tuđem životu
Oči nekog ko živi sve živote
Ispitivao sam njegovo strpljenje
Recitovao pjesme
Ova noć nema kraja
Pisao sam prstom po koži
Potpisivao se poljupcima
Padao pred noge svima
Tražio oproštaj
Ljubio ali pogrešno
U banji siloamskoj
Tražio čovjeka
Nekog dovoljno snažnog
Da me prinese anđelima
-U grijesima tijela
Duša je moja bila mistikinja-
Duša patnica
Traži sad milodare
Neku svijeću za tamu
Svetu vodicu
Da ublaži plamen žudnje
Stoji preda mnom
Lijep i tužan
Beautiful loser
Kao duša iz čistilišta
Željan molitve
I nekog pobožnog djela
THE ELECTED! BY STEVE FINNELL
ReplyDeleteCan those elected by God resist that calling?
ELECT-ELECTED-ELECTION: Defined (Adjective, signifies picked out, chosen.) (Noun, denotes a picking out, selection, then, that which is chosen).
Elected means chosen. There is a view held by many that when God elects or chooses people that they cannot resist God's calling. Israel was God's elect or chosen people. God did not just select certain Jews to be saved and other Jews to be lost. Salvation was offered to the whole nation of Israel.
Deuteronomy 7:6 For you are a holy people to the Lord your God; the Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for His own possession out of all the people who are on the face of the earth.
The Jews were God's elect. Did any of them ever reject that election? Yes they did; because they had free-will.
1 Samuel 8:7 The Lord said to Samuel, "Listen to the voice of the people in regard to all that they say to you, for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me from being king over them.
They rejected God as king.
Numbers 14:11 The Lord said to Moses, "How long will this people spurn Me? And how long will they not believe in Me, despite all the signs which I have performed in their midst?
These people were the elect of God, but they would not believe in Him. Even though they were God's elect He did not force them to believe and obey Him. THEY HAD FREE-WILL.
Acts 7:51 "You men who are stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears are always resisting the Holy Spirit; you are doing just as your fathers did.
Israel was God's chosen people; they were His elect, however, they always resisted the Holy Spirit. Most of them rejected Jesus as the Christ. THEY HAD FREE-WILL.
Does God arbitrarily condemn some men to hell and elect a chosen few for salvation? NO, HE DOES NOT!
WHO ARE THE ELECT OF GOD TODAY?
Acts 10:34-43 Opening his mouth, Peter said: "I most certainly understand now that God is not one to show partiality, 35 but in every nation the man who fears Him and does what is right is welcome to Him. 36......Jesus Christ....43 Of Him all the prophets bear witness that through His name everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness from sins.
WHO ARE THE ELECT OF GOD TODAY? All who believe in Jesus Christ. Yes, everyone has the chance to become the elect, the chosen of God.
Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
WHO ARE GOD'S CHOSEN PEOPLE? WHO ARE GOD'S ELECT? EVERY JEW AND EVERY GENTILE WHO MEETS GOD'S TERMS FOR PARDON UNDER THE NEW COVENANT ARE THE ELECT OF GOD. THEY ARE ALL GOD'S CHOSEN PEOPLE.
GOD HAS OFFERED SALVATION TO ALL WHO BELIEVE IN JESUS THE CHRIST.
