Useless

 

James 2:20 

20 But would you like evidence, you empty fellow, that faith without works is useless?

 

Useless

 

Non use of gifts and talents as opportunities pass by,

is like making an investment and see it dwindle down.

Starting with a treasure to secure your future plans

and winding up empty handed with no glitter in your crown.

 

A mouth that refuses to talk ... and waits for God to do it

Hands that refuse to engage  ... and put them to the plow.

To consider your self surrendered ... to the will of God Almighty

as no element is no longer used  ... and you’re at peace somehow?

 

This opens the door to deception and an invasion is very near.

The troops of depravity ... will overrun your position.

No resistance will be there ... for you will be fast asleep

and chances are you’ll never wake as satan employs your condition.

 

The Lord saved you to be Holy and you want to be a puppet.

The Lord wants you to stand tall and you are lying down.

The Lord wants you to be involved and you live isolated.

The Lord wants you to build on Rock and you’re on sandy ground.

 

You’ve come a long way baby ... you hold no opinion or office.

You don’t exercise your mind ... nor will or your conscience.

Good and evil appear the same ... in your comatose condition.

You have lost your reason for living as you shed your obedience.

 

Powers of darkness drive ... someone into passivity.

This seems to be the greatest feat ... as satan claims victory.

When good simply does nothing ... and in all things just retreat

then a nation is doomed to fall  ... in overwhelmed captivity.
