I have been reading in the first few chapters of Proverbs lately. MMMMmm! They are wonderful. I think that if any young person - or old - will take the time to consider these Scriptures, it will make an immense difference in their life. In chapter six it reveals the seven things God hates. Chapter eight tells about the Son rejoicing before his Father before the creation. Still another chapter guides a young man away from the ways of a flattering woman. Wow. God has things to say to us, to teach us. I know there are many things to do right now, but more than ever, I want to hear what God is saying. I don't want to be so busy that I neglect my time alone with God.
I am listening this morning to the song, "Come Out of Her My People". I love hearing what the Spirit is saying! I know God is saying "Come Out!" [of Christianity] to his children everywhere, but that is so far removed from what they believe God would ever say to them - it's hard for them to believe. God help us believe whatever He says and encourage others to do the same. I am humbled every time I sing the words, "Come out of her, my people!" It is from God! It's just too big to take in. All I can say is, "God is good! And his mercy endures forever and ever!! Praise God!"

Here are the words to the song.
- Chorus -
Come out of her, my people.
Come out – right now.
Come and leave Christianity.
Come out of her right now.
Come out of her, my people.
Come out – right now.
Come and leave Christianity.
Come out of her right now.
1
For you've been captive for so long
You've forgotten who I am
Come learn to hear my voice - and learn who I am
2
For you don't know where you have been,
Taken captive for so long
But I will set you free - to be wholly mine.
3
And you do not know who you are
In a foreign land so long
Now you have called to me - and I will set you free.
4
And I will be to you your God
You will be my chosen ones
Come, lay your burdens down - and rest, come follow me.
5
I know you hear me saying, "Come"
But you don't know where I am
I have heard your cry - and now, here I am.
6
You need not ask which way to go
You need not wonder how or where
I am in you, my child - in me, you are there
You've forgotten who I am
Come learn to hear my voice - and learn who I am
2
For you don't know where you have been,
Taken captive for so long
But I will set you free - to be wholly mine.
3
And you do not know who you are
In a foreign land so long
Now you have called to me - and I will set you free.
4
And I will be to you your God
You will be my chosen ones
Come, lay your burdens down - and rest, come follow me.
5
I know you hear me saying, "Come"
But you don't know where I am
I have heard your cry - and now, here I am.
6
You need not ask which way to go
You need not wonder how or where
I am in you, my child - in me, you are there
John,
ReplyDeleteDonna played this song for me on
the way to Ray Lawson's and I
loved it. I hope God's children
can hear His voice and come out
of Christianity the way I did
in 1974 when He told me to not
go to church and when I asked the
question "What about my children?"
He told me that they would be
better off to not go anywhere
than to go somewhere and learn
lies. God made it easy for me
to come out of Christianity, I
hope He gives His other children
the same strength that He gave
me to come out. I have never
regretted it. It made me open
to hear Him and the truth and
I thank Him for that.
