Will You Go?

Will you Go?

(A prophetic call and poem by Steven Irvine)

God's temple has become rich, or as they call it, the church today has become a playground for pleasing men.

Big T.V. Companies that line their pockets, say “don't rock the boat, just preach what they want to hear.”

But God says different. He says, everyone of them has gone back. They have become
altogether filthy, they have become vain. Therefore mend your ways.

His true church is not built with stone or silver or fine clothes or fancy cars.
It's not a points system where you just sit there and rack up points and say,
I have done this for God.... no, God's not interested in what we have done for the church,
the real stuff is going on outside the doors of salvation.

The real God is waiting outside your doors, wanting to come in, but we have shut him down.
We have become a McDonald's drive through, a bless-me church, “A quick fix God, and I'll be fine,” …. and would you like a strawberry milkshake with that, with a cherry on the top?

What have we become? We cannot make this up!
A microwave God, ready to serve us, 24-7.
We have become so blind, so self-serving, so pleasing to our own demands,
That God cannot be heard over them.
So sad, don't you think?

But meanwhile, standing outside the doors of salvation waits those who are hungry,
and the homeless.
And there are those who are shot for being a Christian, hung, beaten,
Churches burned down in countries, just for having a Bible.
All this we don't understand … how does this fit with you?
Why would a loving God let them die for believing in Him?
But they did not give up, but just stood up for their beliefs.
Meanwhile, the Church in the west plays at being church –
But they are far from being the real deal.

So now the real call of God goes out and calls people,
“What will you do for me?”
It may cost you. But still, will you go for me?
You will cry a billion tears.


Will you hold dying children? But still will you go?
Will you go if they held a gun to your head,
As they tear children from their beds?
Will you go if I told you that you will be hungry and go grey?
Will you go and pray for a little one, far away?
Will you go for me if I told you that you would hold the hand
of a dying man, who held a gun to your head?
And when you prayed for him, he was filled with tears.
And still God calls out – will you go for me?

Will you hold dying people in your hands,
Whilst they bomb a church, and you don't understand,
You say, “Why Lord? is this your plan?
I'm about to die holding children's hands.”
But God calls out, still will you go for me?
If they hung you on a tree, beat you,
Still, will you go for me?
There are no easy answers to appease,
But God calls out to you and me -

Will you go for me?
