I would like to speak on some prophetic song lyrics that were, once upon a time, recorded by Prince and The New Power Generation. I personally feel there was much more depth to this man than we ever could have imagined.
Below are some of the lyrics I will speak about:
7
ALL SEVEN AND WE'LL WATCH THEM FALL
THEY STAND IN THE WAY OF LOVE AND WE WILL SMOKE THEM ALL
WITH AN INTELLECT AND A SAVOIR FAIRE
NO ONE IN THE WHOLE UNIVERSE WILL EVER COMPARE
I AM YOURS NOW AND YOU ARE MINE
AND TOGETHER WE'LL LOVE THROUGH ALL SPACE AND TIME
SO DON'T CRY
ONE DAY ALL SEVEN WILL DIE
Prince was asked by someone what the lyrics to "7" was referring to in the song, and if I am correct, he told them it referred to the seven deadly sins.
The seven deadly sins mentioned in the book of Revelation, would all, most assuredly stand in the way of love as the song lyrics imply.
LUST
(Unrestrained Sexual Craving)
We are to be pure. Guard your heart, by finding a project, or exercising when you need to, to steer you away from that lifestyle. It's a very dangerous game to play.
GLUTTONY
(To Overindulge Food And Drink)
We need to be moderate in our eating and drinking. Going to the extreme in either one, overeating or excessively drinking, can be very dangerous to our health and also to our mental well being as well as others around us.
PRIDE
(Inflated Sense Of Self)
We need to be humble. We need to realize every day that we need our Creator and others who are around us. Pray about everything and serve your fellow man.
SLOTH
(Laziness And Lack Of Effort)
Our lives should not revolve around resting. Be diligent and set a schedule for yourself. Otherwise, you will slip into a reality where you never accomplish anything worthwhile.
WRATH
(Uncontrolled Hate And Anger)
Do breathing exercises to moderate your emotions. Learn to be a kind and loving person, loaded with lots of patience.
GREED
(Excessive Desire For Material Things)
Be a generous person in that you donate things you like yourself and don't actually need to the poor. What a wonderful feeling!
Learn to live a more simple life.
And Lastly...
ENVY
(Jealous Of Another's Happiness)
Be thankful every single day for all you have and all you do not have. Think about that for a minute. We thank God for the things we have, but how many times do we remember to thank God for things we did not need to happen in our lives? Thank Him for the safety and protection He provides every second of every day.
I am remembering a head-on collision I was involved in a few years ago where the occupants of the other car and myself as well all walked away unharmed. That could have very well turned out differently. Also, back when doordashing, I came close to being hit by an out of control driver who ran through my customer's yard between my parked car and the customer's front door. Had I tripped or fallen, I would not be here to tell this story. The car missed me by only 12 inches, maybe less. We most definitely all have guardian angels watching over us. Behind every activity of every one of us, there are legions of angels keeping us from harm. 🕊🕊🕊
Prince was right, all seven of these deadly sins which are a very real part of the human condition, will all be torn down in the end, to never cause blockages or heartache again.
We will all be able to love one another, regardless of any differences, as God loves us and always planned for us in the very beginning. Hatred between people because of the color of their skin or their background will be a thing of the past.
God Bless You All,
❤️🕊
