Forbidden Fruit

Posted on by Marla

There are two trees in the Garden
One you may eat freely…
One you must not touch or eat…
It is forbidden…
Not heeding what the Father said…
They ate the fruit and now are dead…
Forever the knowledge of good and evil
Dance inside their pride held heads…
Banished from the Garden to live…
Slaves to lust, who will forgive
This vile deed they’ve done…?
Too late to grieve, disgrace received…
Cherubim with flaming sword…
Comes to guard the Tree of the Lord…
No longer can the two freely eat thereof…
Now they simply survive…
Forever tempted by the forbidden fruit…
Lusts and death are companions now,
These two made of flesh…
Live in tortured temptations, soon to return to ash and dust…
Until all heaven sings the song, Salvation in God’s Son is sung…
Now rest in peacefulness…
Do not partake of the forbidden fruit…
It’ll leave you barren in regret and mute…
Lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh, the pride of life…
Now lies within the forbidden fruit…
For all who eat of the burning coals
Will never taste the fruit of life…
Only death will be their reward.
Cherubim with flaming sword, standing at the Garden door…
Only one way to enter there…
Jesus, hear my whispered prayer…
Take my heart and be my Lord!
Repentance, turn and bow before the Lord
Forbidden fruit eat no more!
Cherubim with flaming sword, guards the Garden door.
The only access is through Jesus the Lord!

Genesis 3:24 New King James Version (NKJV)
So He drove out the man; and He placed cherubim at the east of the Garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life.

I love the Lord Jesus Christ and am passionate about writing. I hope you enjoy the blog and come to visit often. Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry. “Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith. Habakkuk 2: 2-4
