Actors on a stage
No fresh revelation
Just actors on a stage
Well-rehearsed
Dressed to play the part
Surely are they paid to put on a good show
A headliner
A celebrity
Certain to draw a crowd
The house lights dim
A hush fills the room
Sunday service is about to commence so let the drama begin.
A one man show
All eyes on him
Better listen to the preacher man for he hears from God.
A pastor
An overseer
A shepherd of the flock
A man of integrity, or so it was thought.
Yet should his sincerity be called into question, for surely do his actions appear to be those of a charlatan.
Same act, different actor
Just playing a part
The platform: his stage
The congregation: his audience
Another rendition
Spoken almost verbatim
Practiced to sound authentic, as if having originated from the Spirit, though in reality each line and phrase of his sermon was copied from another.
Impassioned his words
His performance engaging
For just like a trained thespian has he perfected his craft
A skilled liar
A fake persona
Thus does he try to hide from the public eye who he really is and, as such, are none allowed to see behind the facade he has created.
Recognition
Fame
To be adored by the masses
Of those is he in pursuit. For surely does he seek to achieve superstardom, where everywhere he goes even the lost know him by name.
A peddler of “mixture”
A Truth distorter
A Christian, but only in name.
Surely that man, Mike Todd, is not someone who should be trusted. For though his claims of faith may appear to be genuine, in reality, he is nothing but an actor. Therefore, My children would be wise to keep their distance from him and his ministry, for he has already deceived many.
See then has his unraveling already begun, for the platform upon which he stands was not built to support the added weight of his transgressions. Thus, like all those other actors, shall he too fall, for I mean to clear the entire Church of that whole lot, as the hour of My judgement has fallen upon them, and from which there can be no escaping.
Then do I say to you, Mike Todd, “The show is over, for the spotlight which you have craved shall actually bring about your undoing. For that which you have done in the dark shall you no longer be able to hide. For instead of increasing your notoriety, that spotlight you crave shall instead lead to your exposure, where your darkest flaws are known by all.”
Ah then, Mike Todd, do I say, “Your time in the limelight is quickly ending. And so, like a falling star, shall you suddenly come crashing down, for surely shall your sin find you out and you shall be shown as an imposter. For then there shall be no concealing the truth of who you really are. Then consider this fair warning, Mike Todd, for I tell you now, “Your sin shall soon find you out!”
