Idolatry ... The Religion Of The Devil + PRAYER: Father, Draw Me Nearer!

Idolatry 
Is
The Religion Of Sight
Lending A Lie To The Religion Of Faith
Wherein All Are Called
To Bow To The Creator God Of The Universe
And
Not Give In To Sense
By Which Man Has E'er Been Cursed!

Idolatry Encourages One
To Believe That Self Is In Control
Making god Out Of Material
Instead Of Worshipping The God
Who Made The Material!

Idolatry Encourages Escapism
Into The Realm Of Bubble And Squeak
Where Notion Gathers Motion
And
Man Gets Himself A "Working"
I-Control-This Lying Potion!

Idolatry Encourages Man
In Wish-Full Thinking
Encouraging Him To Trust, Again
In Sight
And
Exercising Credulity
Making Believe
That His Ministrations To Matter, Matter
And
Making Him Subject
To Matter That Clatters!

Idolatry Is Fake
A Trick Of The Foe
Who Takes Pleasure In Making
Wish-Full Thinking
Turn Into Something Whole
Hearty
Believable
But 
Still A Lie
Useful
Because It Causes Man
The Creator-God
To Vehemently Deny
Defy!

When ...

Jesus Christ's Faith Matters
Trust In The Holy God Works
Wonderment Over Trifles And Tricks Waivers
And
Amazing Grace Brings Heavenly Favor!

Don't Do It ...

The Descent Into Idolatry
Drags The Soul Down
And
Even Unto Hell
Which Is Satan's Sole Goal
To Deny The Creator God
The Pleasure Of The Worship Of His People
And
To Accrue Unto Himself
The Worship That Should Raise People Up To The Holy God!

In The Religion Of Satan ...

Doubt Of The Living God Is The High Priest
Self-Service Is Head Of The Church Board
Self-Aggrandizement Is The Head Of The Deacon Board
Satan Is The Wannabe God Selling False Worship
Self Is The Bold Sinner
And
Raging Sin Is The Fool's Gold
The Use Of Which Makes Lying Dying Satan 
Maliciously Bold!

So, Therefore
Let Us Over Up A



PRAYER:

Father,
I Come Before You
Because You Are My God!
You Are The One Holy
And
I Desire To Walk With You In Accord!

Father,
Keep Me Away From Idolatry
From Those Things That Weaken Faith
From Those Things That Make You
Less In My Eyes
Things That Will Encourage Me
Your Holy Law To Defy!

Father,
I Give You My Worship!
I Give You Unfeigned Praise!
I Give Unto You My Will And My Way
And
I Beseech You
In The Name Of Christ Jesus
Lead Me Gently, Safely
Surely
On The Straight And Narrow Way!

I Deny The Liar!
I Deny The Ways Of The Fraud!
I Worship The King
The Lord Jesus
And
It Is In His Matchless Name
That Unto You I Do Cry!

Grant Me Your Grace
And
The Victory Over Self And Sin
Because
You Are Almighty And Able!
Draw Me Nearer!
I Love You!
AMEN.
