To many this might seem foolish But would you lend me your ear This is not of my own ideas I was raised up on But in seeking the guidance of His word Why do we preach people into Hades Are that they need to be good not to go We can not be good in our own will That gives glory to God Is mankind seeking to please man or God Hades meaning the Greek god of the underworld. : the underground abode of the dead in Greek mythology. Dwelling place of the dead below This seems to be Hades we are in now We are in a world below on a footstool In a spiritual meaning we are dead without Christ If you take notice one can see a world going against God Maybe most just love Hades and torture of demons Are out of blindness and deception Seek alcohol,drugs are whatever to get relief or satisfaction Preach love of God and being filled with the spirit That Jesus came to fulfill that we shall escape Hades even now, no longer seeking the things of this world But seeking things above not to remain below Set your eyes on the unseen treasures God instills within Not of the seen treasures of this world that shall parish Seek the wrath of God on yourself now For the spirit of fire to come within To abolish all evil desires and lust we gained in Hades Burn it all away so we might receive peace ,love for all ,joy , New heart , mind, willingness to live, to die daily to this world And gain more treasures within Seek Jesus to receive His spirit He promised Then seek Paul to live in it and the fight around us, To receive knowledge, wisdom, understanding not of man. Seek the ones not out for their self praise Unless it's blindness you enjoy To get in where you fit in But learn from the ones which make sure all glory goes to God the true source of love flowing living water They will not be out seeking treasures of this world Telling you to get blessed with earthy riches to remain Which seeks one to get satisfaction in this world Only blessed receive wealth here is false Nothing wrong with working hard to achieve goals and wealth to raise a family in good conditions But we should remember its all temporary Seek those focused with a longing to be with God And to spread the new life that is available in this moment To be content in any situation rich are poor for God is in control We need love to defeat hate We need love to defeat division ,racism, all things instilled To a lost dying world in need of Jesus to fill more With the promised spirit to escape Hades Seek Jesus, spirit to dwell within, Paul to guide you in spirit: ) No matter the lies this world tells you Jesus said We need to be reborn, put old self in grave and receive new life in the spirit He gave up His life for all to receive life that seek No matter what you have done in the flesh in blindness Allow Jesus to circumcise old self away

"But seeking things above not to remain below Set your eyes on the unseen treasures God instills within Not of the seen treasures of this world that shall perish ".... We are not meant to dwell in Hades, we are meant to occupy a seat in Heaven, the place of eternal bliss. So cast away the fleeting joys of this world and focus on treasures that we can hoard in Heaven. A great piece of writing dear Stephan!

Indeed ,great comment my friend, all glory to God , that through Christ we can be pulled out of this world why we are in it, Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:2 NIV
