AUTHOR: Once upon a time there was a man. And he had not a simple heart, but a reborn one. He just didn't appreciate it very much. And five obstinate women were born in his heart. They organized their thought in the heart, captivated the mind, loosened the tongue, made various masks for people for all occasions. And generally established their own rules. We held a number of conferences on the exchange of experience in the pollution of the heart and thoughts, invited a number of prominent figures of dirty art to a permanent place of work. When the conferences and gatherings died down, five sisters gathered at their homes.
PRIDE: Oh, sisters, how outstanding we are, how much we have done, how many awards and praises we have earned. We have become famous for our whole soul, everyone recognizes us, and portraits are printed in newspapers. I am so proud of myself and you!
ROTTEN WORDS: Oh, what new jargon I managed to grab! This is great! My tongue shines with sharpness and erudition! Now I will use the latest inventions of literature in my expressions. I especially like such as: "I went to the bath!", Or "do not hang noodles on your ears."
IRRITABILITY: Exactly! These well-aimed expressions evoke in the heart of the pious lamentation, anger, arrogant condemnations, impudent speeches. How pleasant it is to watch when a person turns purple with anger and is simply ready to tear his interlocutor to pieces.
HYPOMERISE: How many masks we put on people's faces, now no one will guess exactly what lies on the heart of this or that person. Indeed, it is a great art not to give away what you feel and what you really are. I graduated from the highest lyceum of hypocrisy and received a gold medal in international competition"hypocrite-pretender". In my plans to open courses on partiality. What do you think, Sister Envy?
ENVY: It is, of course, good that you received a higher hypocritical education, I envy you very much. But still, I'm more talented than you and I was born so envious and raking, and I didn't have to learn this. I have a very rich pedigree. Here is my aunt - Insatiability, cousins "Come on, come on", two uncles Greed and stinginess, and everyone is trying only for themselves. Our main motto: "Love yourself with all your heart, with all your soul."
PRIDE: Sisters, we are so outstanding! Oh yes yes! We have so clearly shown our work in the character of our master that now we can be recognized right in the face. But there is a real danger for us to be expelled from this house. Although our master is negligent, he is nevertheless reborn.
ENVY: Yes, and his conscience has recently become completely brutal, gnaws at him and gnaws at him, and look, he will take up the Bible.
HYPOMERISM: Oh, master, master, stop, why are you listening to this grouchy conscience? Oh, why do you fall to your knees, why do you cry and betray your true face? Are you giving up on me? After all, you doom yourself to the fact that your feelings will now be written on your face. Oh, I'm dying, I'm erased from the face of his heart.
IRRITABILITY: Oh. He confesses in dust and ashes and renounces anger, rage and… irritability!!! Oh, the blood of Christ and me washes from the face of his heart.
ROTTEN WORDS: Boss, why are you taking the Bible? Isn't my vocabulary enough for you? After all, without my words, you will lose the respect of your friends! Oh, I cannot resist the purity of the word of this Book.
PRIDE: Oh-oh-oh, burst into tears, became emotional, completely spineless and spineless became. Gentle. Like a sheep, it's disgusting to look at, I won't stay in your heart. I'm afraid of grace. Which God gives to the humble, I proudly leave your heart!
Christian staging:
Gods Fair
Staging in two actsPremiere: December 17, 2006, Montreal
authors: Roman and Evgeniya Sverlovy
SUBJECT: This production is a grotesque for today's spiritual state of the world and people who consider themselves Christians, but in reality they are not. It encourages a person to think about his spirituality and what he is looking for in life: Living true God or a convenient religion that satisfies all his needs and desires.
CHARACTERS:
- The seller at the fair (aka Satan in the second act)
- Buyers (6 people: men and women)
- God's angel (in the second act)
STEP ONE: "AT THE FAIR"
Act one
Booth with a seller. Salesman sings a song, luring people (music from the movie "Ah, vaudeville, vaudeville"):
The first customer appears on the scene. He approaches the booth of the seller of the gods and turns to him with a question:
Buyer #1: Hello, do you really sell gods?
Salesman: Yes, sure. Come on, come on. Buy God fast.
Buyer #1: I don't need any God, I only need Christian. Do you have one?
Salesman A: So you've come to the right place. In this shop, I only sell Christian gods. To you Which god is needed?
Buyer #1: What do you mean what? I said I need christian god.
Salesman: Describe in more detail the Christian god you are looking for.
Buyer #1: Well… this is such a loving and generous god who takes care of all my needs. As soon as I pray and ask him for something, he will immediately answer me and give me everything. He never refuses me anything and is always ready to fulfill my every desire.
Salesman: Ho-ho-ho! I have just what you need! ( goes to the shop and comes back holding Santa Claus) Here is the god you need.
Buyer #1: (looking incredulously at the proposed god) Is this a Christian god?
Salesman: Well, of course, Christian! After all, he is very generous and loving. He grants wishes, and will never refuse you anything.
Buyer #1: (happily) Thank you very much! ( gives money, takes God and leaves)
Act two
Booth with a seller. Salesman
|
I trade gods. See for yourself. |
A second customer appears on the scene. Approaching the seller, he turns to him with a question:
Buyer #2: Hello. Are you selling gods?
Salesman: Yes, of course: Come, fly. Buy God fast.
Buyer #2: It's good that I found you. Could you help me choose a god?
Salesman: With great pleasure. What god would you like?
Buyer #2: I heard that God is omnipresent, and that he sees everything and knows everything. And when he sees that people are doing something wrong, he rebukes them and punishes them.
Salesman: (meaningfully Yes, I heard about that too...
Buyer #2: The thing is, I'm not ready to give up my sinful life yet. But I still need God. And so that he does not punish me for that, How I live in the world, I need him to see me only when I come to him. And that he was silent and did not punish me.
Salesman: (thinks for a moment and gladly announces) What a score! I have just what you need!!! (removes to the shop and returns, carrying an icon in his hand). Here, I recommend!
Buyer #2: (examining the icon, incredulously) And this Christian God?
Salesman: Well, of course! See, the Holy Trinity. Put or hang her in a corner, and she will see and hear you only when you stand in front of her.
Buyer #2: Oh thank you! ( gladly pays): Keep the change! ( leaves the stage)
Act three
Booth with a seller. Salesman sings the refrain from his song, enticing the people:
|
Well, what can I say? Well, what can I say? I trade gods. My business will prosper See for yourself. |
A potential buyer walks past, yawning around. The salesman in the shop sees him and tries to lure him...
Salesman: Citizen, citizen! Do you happen to need God?
Buyer #3: And I'm already a believer. ( proudly) I'm a Christian!
Salesman: And what, doesn't a believer need God?
Buyer #3: (thinking for a moment) Hmm ... actually needed.
Salesman: So why do you refuse God if you are a believer?
Buyer #3: No, no... I don't give up on God. Just… ( hitch)
Salesman: What is simple"? Something not this way with your god?
Buyer #3: No, it's the same with my god. It's just... he's so demanding. It's not enough for him that I regularly go to church and pay tithing. He requires a lot of things from me: to read the Bible, to attend Sunday school and all prayer meetings, help the pastor, participate in numerous church projects and so on. It's too hard for me. I don't know who can take it... ( in thought) Is there something wrong with me?
Salesman: (happily) So this is not a problem with you, but with your god, and I know how to fix it.
Buyer #3: Yes? How?
Salesman: You need to purchase new god: one for whom it will be enough that you go to church regularly on Sundays. I just have in mind such a god for you. ( retires to the shop and returns with a Catholic idol).
Buyer #3: (picks up an idol and begins to turn it around and examine it from all sides) Is this a Christian god?
Salesman: Citizen, don't you see the cross on it? Of course, Christian.
Buyer #3: So you think I should buy it from you?
Salesman: Of course. Moreover, such a god is the last one for me today. You are extremely lucky.
Buyer #3: Aha… the price is right… Ok, I’m buying it ( pays and leaves, talking to the newly bought deity). Now we will live with you! I will put you in the most prominent place and I will take care of you ...
act four
Booth with a seller. Salesman sings the refrain from his song, enticing the people:
|
Well, what can I say? Well, what can I say? I trade gods. My business will prosper See for yourself. |
A buyer approaches the booth, holding a pile of books just bought at the fair.
Buyer #4 Q: What are you selling here? Not biblical literature by any chance?
Salesman: What are you looking for?
Buyer #4: Spiritual literature.
Salesman: May I ask which one?
Buyer #4: (showing just purchased books) For example, I just bought several books: “Peace with God”, “True Christian”, “ABC of a Christian”, “Be Faithful”, “Window to Paradise” ...
Salesman: Wow, do you read that much? ( flatters) You must be such an erudite person!!!
Buyer #4: Yes, I'm a Christian. And Christians read a lot of spiritual literature.
Salesman: Oh, what an interesting god you have, that he makes you read so much spiritual literature ...
Buyer #4: Actually, no. He doesn't make me read all those books. He requires only one thing from me: regularly read and study His Word - the Bible and change. And I don't have time to read the Bible: I'm very busy. Moreover, it is so big, and everything is written in it so incomprehensibly and confusingly that I cannot understand it. And I can't quite understand why God wants me to read the Bible all the time. And anyway, why did he need to write such a big and thick book???
Salesman: (indignantly) I never understood that either. But it seems to me that there is a way out of your situation: you need a god who wrote ma-a-a-a-a-lazy bible.
Buyer #4 Q: Does such a god exist?
Salesman A: Of course there is. And what's more, I have such a god in stock, along with his bible. Want to buy?
Buyer #4: And I only need a Christian god ( pointing to their spiritual books).
Salesman: And I to you another and do not suggest.
Buyer #4: (thoughtfully) Actually, you know… I already have a god. I will only buy a bible from you. Fine?
Salesman: Wonderful! ( retires to the shop and returns, carrying a thin bible in his hands). Here, take a look ... ( shows the bible)
Buyer #4: (takes the "bible" in his hands, opens, examines and reads):
Buyer #4: (bewildered) What is this?
Salesman: Bible! Don't you see? ( pointing to the cover that says "BIBLE")
Buyer #4: And it's all???
Salesman: Of course, everything ... But you can read such a bible several times a day. And your god will be very pleased with you. After all, this is his word!
Buyer #4: (surprised) Hmm .. I did not think that everything turned out to be so simple. I didn't have to suffer so much...
Salesman: (addressing the public) Everything ingenious is simple! ( to the buyer) So you take it?
Buyer #4: Yes, yes, I take. Close it please. ( picks up the purchase and leaves)
act five
Booth with a seller. Salesman sings the refrain from his song, enticing the people:
|
Well, what can I say? Well, what can I say? I trade gods. My business will prosper See for yourself. |
A man rises from the crowd of spectators and shouts indignantly, addressing the seller with the gods:
Buyer #5: Why are you screaming like that?
Salesman: Come on, come on. Buy God fast.
Buyer #5: What does it mean: "buy God"? God must be inside - in your heart!
Salesman: (grinning) And what does it give when God is in the heart?
Buyer #5:
- When God is in the heart, then you don’t have to look for him and you don’t have to go to him (that is, you don’t have to go to church), he’s always with you anyway. And you never know what kind of people gather in the church, and there are different churches. You come there, they look at you the wrong way, they say the wrong thing, and it all irritates you so much. And when God is inside, there is always such peace and tranquility in the soul. Together with God is much better than with people in the church...
- When God is in the heart, then it’s not at all necessary to pray to him, because he lives in me and knows himself what I want to ask him for ...
- When God is in the heart, then he himself teaches me with divine revelations (therefore, it is not necessary to read the Bible). The Lord will teach you everything...
- When God is in the heart, then you don’t need to serve him, because it is written that he “does not require the service of human hands” ...
- When God is in the heart, then there is no need to change, because God himself changes me from the inside, because he is inside me. And, besides, I’m already good enough: I give alms, I feed homeless animals, and in general I don’t wish anything bad to anyone and I love everyone ...
Salesman: How interesting. And, let me ask you, how do others know that your god lives in your heart?
Buyer #5: Hmmm… ( in thought) This is a difficult question… I don’t even know…
Salesman: (happily) ABOUT! I have something for you...( removes a large cross from his chest and puts it on the buyer's neck). Now, now anyone will see that God lives in your heart, and you can always take him with you, you can always touch him, and even kiss him. And you don’t need to do anything else, because your god will do the rest for you.
Buyer #5: (admiring the cross) Yes-ah-ah-ah-ah? Wow! How much does it cost?
Salesman: Not at all for you. I take it from my heart and give it to you free of charge as my last client today.
Buyer #5: (thanks the seller and leaves with a blissful smile, stroking the cross)
act six
Salesman: (left alone, counts the proceeds) So the day has passed. I did a good job. It was a good sale today. ( Hangs up a CLOSED sign and prepares to leave).
Suddenly, out of nowhere, out of breath, another customer runs up to the booth with string bags in her hands (she walked around the fair for so long and was carried away by her purchases that she reached the seller’s booth by the gods already by its closing).
Buyer #6: Are you closed already? And I was told that you are selling gods...
Salesman: (perking up) Do you need a god?
Buyer #6: Yes, I need ... I really need a god.
Salesman: Do you need such a God? ( defiantly pulls the cross hanging around the neck to the side of the buyer, offering him to buy it)
Buyer #6: No-e-e-e-e-t ... This is too primitive a religion for weaklings and mentally deranged ( twists a finger at the temple). I would like something like that ... rare, intricate, unusual ... And for God to be so special, so exotic, so magical ... Such ... such ... ( inspired, but then stopped short). But you probably don't. ( Quite sad) Yes, and you have already closed your stall. I came too late...
Salesman: (consoling) Yes, you do not be upset. Think the stall is closed. Yes, I have so many more stalls at this fair! Yes, I can offer you so many gods that it will take your breath away ... Come with me ... ( takes the customer by the arm and heads to another stall backstage) I can offer different gods (curling fingers): Buddha, Allah, Krishna, Mammon, Moloch, Dagon, Baal, Astarte, Venus, Zeus, Cupid and many others. Choose any ... ( and so they both leave the stage).
While they are leaving the stage, music begins to play, indicating to the audience that the first act is over. It continues during the change of scenery and continues until the second act begins.
ACT TWO: "IN HELL"
Act One: Encounter with Satan
To the sounds of frightening music and special effects (smoke or fog, a strobe light, a red lamp), buyers enter the stage from different directions. Each of them carries its own god. They all meet in the middle of the stage in front of the gates of HELL (the arch on which the red lights are lit, the inscription "Hell" or "Welcome to Hell"). Everyone has a dumb question on their face...
Buyer #1: Where am I?
Buyer #2: What kind of place is it?
Buyer #3: What is Hell???
Buyer #4: Can't be!
Buyer #5: I understand, Buddhists, Muslims, Hare Krishnas and other pagans... And how did we, Christians, get here?!?
A man in a hat appears on the stage. It is visible to buyers and spectators only from the back. With slow steps, imperceptibly for buyers and spectators, he passes to the middle of the stage behind the gates of Hell. However, one of the buyers manages to notice it.
Buyer #1: Look, this is the seller from the fair who sold this god to me ( shows everyone his deity).
Buyer #2: So he to me sold god (shows his god)
Buyer #3: And me! ( shows his god)
Buyer #4: And me! ( shows his god)
Buyer #5: He sold the gods to us all! ( shows his god)
Buyer #2: This He it's my fault that I went to hell!
Buyers #3, 4, 5: Of course he is!!! He!!!
Buyer #1: Well, now he will receive from me.
Customer #1, with a vicious expression on his face, approaches the Dealer of the Gods and rips off his hat, intending to beat him up. The seller turns to the buyers and to the audience. Everyone sees that this is Satan (red horns appear from under the removed hat, a red trowel is under the cloak, a red trident is in the hands). Customers with horror and screams bounce off Satan.
Buyer #5: You??? It's you???
Buyer #4: How could you?
Buyer #3: You fooled us all!!!
Buyer #2: You sold us false gods!
Buyer #1: Deceiver!
Satan: One minute. I didn't deceive anyone. I sold you what you asked me to. Each of you was looking for your own god. And each of you got what you wanted. All your conditions have been met. To me - no complaints ... ( turns around and goes to Hell through the gate)
Buyers from hopelessness begin to rush around the stage, looking for a way out of Hell from this terrible place. Suddenly, one of them notices an angel who is standing aside on an elevated place and sadly watching what is happening.
Buyer #1: Look ... (everyone turns around)
Buyer #2: It's God's angel!
Buyer #3 A: Let's go to him. May be, He will help us get out of Hell.
All buyers go to the angel and turn to him with a question and a request ...
Buyer #4: Angel, this is some kind of mistake. We couldn't get here! We are believers! We are Christians all defiantly shake their gods and assent) Please help us find a way out of this scary place...
Angel: (addressing those who have gone to Hell) Friends, while living on earth, you were not looking for the True Living God, who gives salvation and eternal life. You were looking for convenient gods for yourself, who would amuse your vanity and fulfill all your whims. You were looking for a convenient religion, and you found it. Your place - Here, in hell. (Angel pointing to the gates of hell).
With the last words of the Angel, the frightening music and sounds of Hell are heard again (screams, groans, crying, howls and gnashing of teeth), smoke rises on the stage in clubs ... Buyers one by one doomedly head to Hell through the gates of Hell, and everyone exclaims mournfully at the same time.
Buyer #1: Damn it!
Buyer #2: Jumped!
Buyer #3: That's where these gods have taken us!
Buyer #4: I was warned that I would go to Hell...
Buyer #5: I knew it! What a fool I am!
Each of them speaks his line, passes through the gates of Hell, throws his god to the ground, bows down and freezes in a suffering pose.
Act Two: Angel's Monologue
The scene in Hell continues for some time: smoke, crying, groans and frightening music. But soon it is replaced by the sounds of other music. To the tune of "Holy Night", an angel appears on the stage. He goes to the middle of the stage, closer to the audience (leaving hell with its inhabitants behind him). Stopping in the middle of the stage, he addresses the audience with outstretched arms. The music fades a little.
Angel: Friends, did you see what happened to them? They won't be able to change anything. But there is still time and opportunity for you to be saved. Do not look for convenient gods for yourself! Look for the one true, one living God who came into our world in the flesh to redeem our sins by his death on the cross and grant us forgiveness and eternal life. ( pause)
Angel: Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth and the Life! Come to Him before it's too late. ( pause)
Angel: Let Christ be born in your heart this Christmas.
The music is louder. After a short pause, all participants in the production stand up and come forward. There, holding hands, they bow to the audience and leave the stage to a friendly applause..
END
NOTES: The closing phrase of the angel may be changed depending on the holiday in connection with which the performance is being made. Instead of words "Let Christ be born in your heart this Christmas" during Easter you can say: “Jesus died on the cross and for your sins. Repent and accept this sacrifice and the gift of eternal life.”.

HEART
Topic: About a person's journey into his own heart
".. Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear!" "Most of all stored your heart because from it are the sources of life." Often, in our hearts we collect an extensive collection of "legionnaires" in the face of fear, anxiety, doubt, lies, slander, gluttony, pride, which in every possible way negatively affect our Christian life. In today's sketch about "Heart" we want to show how the enemy, step by step, with our permission, seizes the territory of our hearts and how it dries up our life-giving source of life.
Calm music plays, under which a person falls asleep and in a dream hears the words of the Lord addressed to himself
Human
Lord! I would like to look into my Heart with at least one eye.
Lord
If you want to be a guest in your heart,
You need to transform now.
Human (no visual action) - spoken by a human voice-over
Something wonderful is happening to me right now.
The Holy Spirit works in my body.
Somehow I began to breathe
And they put something on their heads -
Looks like I won't have to wait long.
Here is the garden of the Heart in the distance - they arrived.
Information for the director:
The scene is planned to be divided by an opening door on the doorposts through which the Janitor will move from room to room of his heart and meet different characters. In this way, we will get several scenes, which can freely be prepared for other plots of the scene.
Lord
Well, show yourself before my eyes - "a new creation"
Residents of all your hearts are a feast for the eyes!
Janitor (surprised to himself, appearing in public)
Who is this, my God?!
Lord
Who? Yes, a real janitor, and even with a broom!
I gave you all the equipment you need
Dal - the sword of the Holy Spirit, in the form of a broom - for battle
A hat with earflaps is your spiritual ears,
So that you always have them on top.
Telogreyka - armor of righteousness, trust in it
And don't forget about the apron - the shield of faith.
Before you stands the heart of your temple
Look at what she lives there, (pause) when the daily routine boils around.
Get to know all the inhabitants of your Heart.
And at the same time, find the source of life and drink from it!
Janitor (approaches the house of the heart)
I am in the garden, but I do not smell the flowers.
And the singing of birds is absent, I do not notice them anywhere.
The life-giving stream in my garden has almost dried up
And living here can not do without a source
Flowers drooping all around, the leaves on the trees all turned yellow
The Garden of my Heart is running. And no one from the tenants cares about this?
Street cleaner:
Hey, wonderful creature that sits on the roof! (referring to the Angel, who sits on the roof of the temple of the heart)
What are you doing there? Can't hear, probably asleep!
Angel (sitting on the roof at the side of the door, propping his head on his hand)
I am your guardian angel, I made my nest here.
It is impossible to live in your heart - it is disgusting and dark there!
Street cleaner
To listen to you, is it better not to go there?!
Angel
Go there yourself, I refuse to be your assistant!
Janitor (reads on the doors to the house of the heart)
Someone managed to nail the inscription on the door with nails
"Caution, fear room - no one enter here!"
The janitor opens the creaky door and is faced with pitch darkness (the lights are turned off on the stage)
A song about fear
Dwarf-fear (in a creaky and nasty voice)
Don't go there, you'll suddenly stumble
And there - do not step, suddenly, you will stumble upon something
Down - do not look, you will suddenly break
Better yet, run if you can save yourself!!! (caustic nasty dwarf laughter)
Janitor (lights a hand-held flashlight and drives it around looking for the source of the sound)
If God is for us, who can be against us? (speaking with a shaky voice)
I will read to you, Fear, a psalm of David now:
"The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the strength of my life: whom shall I fear?"
"God is light, and there is no darkness in Him."
"Show us the light of Your face, Lord!" (he speaks enthusiastically)
The light turns on and an ugly small dwarf is found, which is all writhing, etc.
Street cleaner
And this pimple kept my heart in fear?
Holy Spirit tell me where in my life I dug it up? (looks up at the sky)
Holy Spirit
It's quite simple, you were afraid of not pleasing many,
Tried to be nice to everyone. Tried to lie and play around.
You wanted to look 100% beautiful from every angle.
So I hooked this ugly DIVO into my heart!
Street cleaner
It's time for me to say goodbye to you MIRACLE-YUDO
Pour the broom to him hot. I don't want to know that!
The dwarf, having received a broom, runs away screaming through the door
Street cleaner
They banished fear, and the Light appeared in my Heart
Now I can carefully examine everything, friends
The accusation-ghost-mosquito runs out and hits the Janitor several times on the head with the words:
"How could you? How could you do this? I rebuke and accuse you!"
The janitor in bewilderment constantly waves his hands away as from an annoying fly or a mosquito. An excerpt from A. Vinnitskaya's song sounds - I'm here, I'm nearby - look for me
Street cleaner
Was it my imagination, or did something bite me?
"I rebuke you?" (he says thoughtfully), it sounded right, and something ached in the heart (holds on to the heart)
The accusation goes unnoticed. Anxiety runs out and begins to run around the room lamentingly to the song of A. Vinnitskaya lost her way along the road and became entangled in the fog. She suffocated with a fresh wind and ... The girl in the bustle of running collides with the Janitor and screams!
Street cleaner
Girl, who are you? and why are you screaming?
Maybe someone offended you? - tell me.
Worry-girl
And how will they think of me? What happens if something, (pause) how happens?
I need to know everything in advance, I must plan, I must learn.
Street cleaner
The Bible tells us something else, sister:
"So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow itself
will take care of his own: enough for each day of his care.
Why should we add more work to our hearts?
Worry-girl
I worry about you, my lord, doubt gnaws at me
The sound of lightning sounds, which gives the Janitor a revelation.
Street cleaner
Why is my heart shaking so much? so something can break in it!
And how long have you settled in my heart, worry-girl?
Worry-girl
As the dwarf-fear suggested marriage to me, so together we got along here!
Street cleaner
Well, that my fighting girlfriend is a broom - there is a job for you
Drive away from here this madam (points to Anxiety), like a mangy kitten!
"How could you? How could you do this? You're a man! Take and drive the girl out!? I rebuke and accuse you! Shame, shame!!" Then, imperceptibly disappears. The janitor, in bewilderment, constantly waves his hands away as if from an annoying fly or mosquito ..
Street cleaner
Here I will deal with this annoying buzzing reptile
Got it already. There must be a body of water around here somewhere.
The music "Clock-bells" sounds, under which the Clock-doubts appear
Hours-doubts (words are accompanied by an echo)
Don, don, don
You hurt yourself, ron, ron
Did you do the right thing, drink, drink?
What so strictly judged everyone, dil, dil?
Street cleaner
I have never seen such wonderful hours...
Hours of Doubt
By such actions of all (pause) you betrayed us, gave us, gave us. (accent on last syllable)
You acted contrary to all accepted traditions, itii, itii
Go down the drain, go nowhere all the investments invested in you, ions, ions.
Street cleaner
Stop, stop, stop - what is in my Heart for thoughts-doubts?
Holy Spirit, tell me how to support my decisions?
Holy Spirit
"God works in you both willing and acting according to His own good pleasure.
Do everything without grumbling or doubting." (Phil 2:13-14)
This grief is a watch, a wedding gift from a dwarf - Fear to Anxiety-maiden.

Ah, that's it!? - so the Chimes broke in the Russian capital. (breaks the clock with a broom - a funny episode)
They are not subject to restoration, they are out of order without a hitch. (rubs hands)
And to me, thank God, and to nothing. And in the Heart at once - it became pleasant!
The Prosecution runs out and hits the Janitor several times on the head with the words: “How could you do this? The janitor in bewilderment constantly waves his hands away as from an annoying fly or a mosquito.
Street cleaner
It's easier on my heart, but my ears are not so pleasant
Something is buzzing around me here, but it's not clear from where!?
The ghost runs around the Janitor along the song "I'm here, I'm nearby - look for me", then leaves.
The song of the magician Suleiman sounds. The magician Suleiman has everything honestly - without deception ..
Street cleaner
A wonderful room appeared before me
There are a lot of mirrors in it, showing me upside down (people with mirrors come out and stand in a circle, there is a musical background with praise), the Janitor can tilt his head, as if looking into inverted mirrors
Unrealistic rainbow light, mind-numbing sound and omnipresent smell.
I feel uncomfortable now, like a rabbit in the paws of a wolf. (Janitor shudders and looks around)
Who lives here, I would like to know?
Stargazer (appears, for the first time, in a mask and speaks ingratiatingly)
Watcher of your heart, Astrologer - that's what they call me here.
I am glad to see you, my respected lord.
You are the most talented leader in the world.
The best owner of the heart I have not yet met
And besides, you are very beautiful - somehow I did not notice before!
Street cleaner
Oh, is he saying something ingratiatingly?!
And he is deliberately silent about the strange local inhabitants.
Let me ask the Lord about this hypocrite.
I hope He will enlighten me with a biblical example.
Lord, open my eyes to this hero!
Lord
As long as he is in your heart, there will be no peace there!
"... he thinks of the lawless in order to act hypocritically and speak blasphemy against the Lord ... The deceitful and disastrous actions: he plots covens in order to destroy the poor with the words of lies ..." (Is. 32: 6-7)
Ask him what he does in your heart?
And draw conclusions - should you continue to stay together?
Street cleaner
In the name of Jesus Christ, I command you right now
Reveal your true face without taking your eyes off me.
Tell me right here without hiding anything from me
What is your essence? And what do I not know about you?
Stargazer (takes off his mask)
I show life distortedly to you in crooked mirrors (shows around at the mirrors)
I piss off your feelings, I ring (pause) in them like bells
Staying in your heart - I control your thoughts
Evil, Falsehood and Deception are my essence, they are my synonyms
Your vain days, I keep painstakingly accounting
That's why I'm called - the caretaker, your Astrologer.
Street cleaner
The Lord keeps a record of my life in the "Book of Life".
I don't need the false sage Stargazer in my Heart.
Holy Spirit - one, two, three (waving a broom)
And here the Lord is already pure - look! (points to a clean place)
The Astrologer found a utility room here
And something lives in it - my spiritual crown tells me about this (points to his earflaps)
You don't know it, but I'll tell you!
The whole truth about your friends, now I will tell!
Petka is your friend, he set you up last week
He, in the eyes of your girl, shamed you, in fact.
And, at work, did you see the boss's brand new car?
He saved it all for you! And then you yourself walk in this old coat (points to a sweatshirt)
And your friends have more money, and problems bypass them
I look at you and sob straight - poor, humiliated you are mine !!! (feigned sobbing)
Street cleaner
My light, Lord, say
Tell me the whole truth.
Where is such a parrot
I picked it up without knowing
Lord
Letting a liar into the Heart of the Astrologer
You opened the door of the Heart for it - Parrot-merchant
The situation that in life will pull with difficulty for a penny
He will twist and pervert so, gracefully arching his neck,
What will seem - the end of the world has already come
Before you - Parrot-slander, in this case, red (indicate by costume) color.
Street cleaner
Hearing now such a revelation
I make an irrevocable decision for myself
Send this talking bird on a long space flight (pulls a parrot with a broom and watches)
Not ready, not ready, not ready yet - that's it! A jet plane is in the ditch!
The Prosecution runs out and hits the Janitor several times on the head with the words:
"How could you? How could you do this? You are a man! Take and drive out the chick to the mercy of fate!? I denounce and accuse you! Shame, shame!! Where is Green Peace, animal protection going?!". The janitor in bewilderment constantly waves his hands away as from an annoying fly or a mosquito.
The ghost runs around the Janitor along the song "I'm here, I'm nearby - look for me", then leaves.
Street cleaner
Well, here is the kitchen of the heart appeared before my clear eyes
And in it sits a cat swollen with fat and absorbs food, what is urine ?!
The song "Gluttony" sounds, during which the cat approaches the Janitor, sits him down and hugs him, singing this song (excerpt from the song Donut and Syrupchik from Dunno)
Cat - glutton
I can't deny myself the pleasure of a hearty meal
When I see a cake or Olivier, I immediately lose my conscience and honor
Bananas, sweets, juices, jams
I will not miss anything - neither gingerbread, nor cookies.
Janitor (perplexed)
My spiritual eyes, you tell me
Don't keep it a secret from me!
Where does this fat cat come from in my heart,
Who, with something constantly, stuffs his stomach?
spiritual eyes
I must tell you that the Cat is the second favorite of the Astrologer
But, not without your help, he was held in high esteem by the Astrologer-Lie
God's Word says, "Do not destroy the works of God for food. (Rom.14:20)
Here we will not have to remember for a long time
We have a few examples for you on the fly:
Can you remember at least one feast,
When before the eyes at the table - expanse of food,
So that you, at least once, because of him, get up without overeating,
And the next morning, all neatly "leftovers are sweet" without finishing?
Then your stomach cried out to you for help and compassion,
And in return I received another dessert and your complete misunderstanding.
Street cleaner
The cat is a glutton, we can't get along together
Look for your home you are in another place
It is necessary to fix a healthy measure of eating with prayer and fasting.
And don’t twist here anymore with your tail (slaps the cat with a broom and kicks it out)
The Prosecution runs out and hits the Janitor several times on the head with the words:
"How could you? How could you do this? You're a man! Take and drive out a small defenseless kitten!? I denounce and accuse you! Shame, shame!! Where is Green Peace, animal protection?!".
The janitor in bewilderment constantly waves his hands away as from an annoying fly or a mosquito.
Street cleaner
The Apostle Paul wrote to us:
"Whoever thinks that (he) is "FLYING", then beware,
So that you don’t fall low." Well, insect - hold on !!! (funnyly beats with a broom like a sword from the head on the floor)
The ghost runs around the Janitor to the song "I'm here, I'm nearby - look for me", then leaves.
The song sounds from the musical For Two Hares "Gee, crazy, damn it, family"
Pride
Where did all this unbearable relatives - servants go?
Where is this dwarf - morel, with his restless girlfriend?
No one pleases me, I don’t hear admiration (pause) at my own expense!
Where is my court flatterer and magician - this evil brother Stargazer?
Where did my wonderful bird from the cage go?
Why doesn't the clock strike when it's time for me to take my pills?
Hey, you are a serf, bow your head to your queen. (says this to the Janitor)
There is no equal and similar to me in this whole universe!!!
Street cleaner
Take it easy on the turns, girlfriend, I'm the owner of my heart.
Holy Spirit, where does this local queen come from, I can’t understand!?
Holy Spirit
In front of you is your Pride - in person !!!
Unyielding, self-satisfied. You yourself endowed her with this crown.
You raised her, fed and cherished her for many years.
And through it, I sowed a lot of trouble in my Heart.
Street cleaner
Thank you, Lord, for guidance and my insight
I repent that my behavior was unworthy
That's what I'll say Pride - I'll bow my head and I'll humble myself
But, not before you, but before God - I will obey him in everything
Today I said goodbye to many of your relatives (pause)
So I hasten to send you to them, of course, without a dowry, in one negligee.
The Prosecution runs out and hits the Janitor several times on the head with the words:
"That's it, it's the end!! It's all over! You can't continue to live without her! I denounce and accuse you! On, on, on, get it. (continuously hitting the Janitor)!!"
Street cleaner
Lord, even though I have the armor of righteousness
But, I'm tired of all this mosquito fuss.
Please open my Ave - Father
On the mosquito of this disgusting eyes to me!
A play of light and an Accusation-casting is discovered, after which it is swept out of the house with a broom
Street cleaner
Who do I see? Guardian angel in the house of my heart!
Come in, don't be shy, we're here, absolutely, just the two of us.
Guardian angel
The home of your Heart has changed so much:
He became bright, warm, cleaned - he has changed so much!
I take this house under my protection and guardianship
I will serve by faith in the heart of this man.
Street cleaner
Thank you, Angel, this will be very useful to me in life!
I really want water. Can you tell me where to drink here?
Guardian angel
I know a place in the garden where there used to be (pause) a crystal clear spring.
Now the angina pectoris lives there. He became shallow and covered his weeds.
Previously, the whole garden enjoyed that pure life-giving moisture
And now, that spring is blocked by a fat, swollen toad.
Street cleaner
Let's go and see what's going on with the source.
Let's clean it all up. Maybe you'll end up getting drunk?
Song of angina pectoris to the melody "Songs of the Lion and the Turtle"
1 verse
Greed is my lot
I torment in the hearts I am chaos
I torment and twist everything
I don't want to change inside.
I'm tormenting and quagchu
I don't want to change inside.
verse 2
The source of life has dried up
But for me, everything is a trifle
I lie and sit
I look longingly at the sun
I sit and lie
In the sun with greed I look qua-qua
Angina pectoris
Why are you staring at the water? Do not shop here for you!
From this spring I will not let any of you drink
I won't have enough water here
Shchya spit poison between the eyes, so as not to look impudently. (sprays from enema)
Street cleaner
My God, many questions today You managed to enlighten me
But how could I allow such a toad into my (pause) source of life?
Street cleaner
The prophet Jeremiah wrote: "Oh, you who dwell by the great waters, abounding in treasures! Your end has come, the measure of your greed." Jer.51:13
With fear, lies, slander, I did not want to know in the Heart
And even more so with the ugly toad. We will say goodbye to you!!
This broom so wonderfully gives everyone acceleration (spanks the toad with a broom)
That I didn’t have time to blink an eye - fyt and there is no longer this creation!
A gentle pleasant melody of the murmur of water and the singing of birds sounds
Guardian angel
When you kicked out the toad, at the same moment
Your spring has become full-flowing pure.
See how everything around, that hour, turned green
How sweet is the scent of flowers! And how many birds have flown.
Janitor (drinking from a spring)
How sweet and pleasant is the flow of this source of life
Well, goodbye, my Angel, my walks are running out
My Lord of Hosts, I am grateful to You with all my heart, (at these words he gets down on one knee)
For all that You miraculously showed and that You were favorable to me
Holy Spirit
Today, in your heart temple, you stayed for quite a long time
So learn from what happened in it, you are an edifying lesson:
"My son! listen to my words, and incline your ear to my words;
let them not depart from your eyes; keep them inside your heart:
for they are life to him who finds them, and health to his whole body.
Above all that you keep, keep your heart, for out of it are the fountains of life." (Prov. 4:23)
Street cleaner
Yes, I planned to go on an excursion in my heart, but I got into such adventures!!...
(Theme of the skit: Faith without works is dead.)
AUTHOR: A Sabbath meeting has just ended in one church.
The pastor spoke on the topic "Faith without works is dead." At the end
of worship, all the youth sang the 22nd Psalm: "The Lord
My Pastor.” After the meeting, everyone hurried home.
One girl had a long way home.
(A girl enters the stage)
GIRL: What a great meeting! It's a pity that I live so far away and
I rarely go to church. However, with the weather, I'm not at all
I calculated that something is getting cold, and it starts to rain.
(Looks at the sky). We must hurry home, otherwise it’s completely
get wet.
(Two guys with umbrellas appear on the stage).
GIRL: Oh brothers with umbrellas!
BROTHERS: Hello, sister, how are you?
GIRL: Nothing, I'm just cold, and I'll get wet soon (shivers).
BROTHERS: Well, sister, you just don't trust God! Do you remember 22
psalm? What is written there? "I will not need anything:
Do you believe it?
GIRL: Yes, but I...
BROTHERS: Stand up for prayer. Repeat after us. Lord Shepherd
my, I will not need anything. He lays me down on cereal
... (until the end of Psalm 22).
The girl repeats sentence after sentence after her brothers.
BROTHERS: Amen!
GIRL: Amen!
BROTHERS: Well, you trusted yourself to God. You won't be in anything
need. Farewell sister. (they leave).
GIRL: I won't need anything... How cold! Now would
hot tea to drink or something to eat, maybe I would
got warm. Oh, it seems our sisters are coming.
(Two girls enter the stage. They have a bottle of water in their hands, chips or buns, that is, something from food. They chew vigorously.)
SISTERS: Greetings sister! How are you?
GIRL: Yes, it’s still far from home, but I’m so cold and there is very
I want to.
SISTERS: Don't you want to say that you need something,
sister?
GIRL: Yes, I would like something to eat ...
SISTERS: (Continuing to crush the buns). What are you sister? in the bible
it is written that the Lord himself rests you in green pastures,
leads to still waters. Do you believe the Bible?
GIRL: I believe...
SISTERS: Then pray. Repeat after us: The Lord is my Shepherd (They
retell the entire 22nd psalm). Amen! Farewell sister!
God will take care of you. (leave)
AUTHOR: Poor! Only halfway passed, and already evening. Young
the sister had to go through the forest alone.
GIRL: If only someone would meet on the way. Usually I'm not alone
I walk through the forest in the evening, and here there are no fellow travelers
on purpose. But no, it looks like someone is coming. Yes it is
brother from our church! I'll ask him to take me home.
(Suitable brother)
GIRL: Greetings, brother. Where do you want to go? Through the forest?
BROTHER: Yes, no, me in the other direction.
GIRL: And me through the forest. I thought maybe someone will guide me...
BROTHER: What are you? Are you afraid, right? Do you remember today at the meeting
Psalm 22 was analyzed: If I go through the valley of the shadow of death, I will not
I fear evil, for You are with me Your rod and Your staff - they
soothe me. Let's pray together.
(They read Psalm 22 together)
BROTHER: Well, now everything is in order. Go in peace and do nothing
be afraid. Farewell sister. (leaves)
GIRL: Wait, what about me?...
AUTHOR: The poor girl had to go herself through the forest. Getting there
home, she, having drunk, tea and had a good dinner, finally
warmed up, as always before going to bed, she opened the Bible.
GIRL: At the meeting today, the pastor invited us to read
James chapter 2 verses 14 to 26 What's there? Let's open:
(Opens the Bible and reads James 2:14-17,26)
What good is it, my brethren, if someone says that he has faith, but does not have works? can this faith save him? If a brother or sister is naked and does not have food for the day, and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, keep warm and eat," but does not give them the necessities of the body, what is the use? So faith, if it does not have works, is dead in itself. For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead.
I ask You, Lord, give the very person who is reading these lines now, everything that he asks You for!
Give it to him in full, as only You can give!
And may he be happy all his days, and if this is not possible, then at least to some extent.
Grant him good health and the love of others, understanding and sympathy ...
Make his soul always shine with only love for all things, protect him from slander,
from insults and envy, from wars and deaths, from physical and mental pain, if all this is inevitable,
- do not leave him and then, give consolation. Save for him everything that is dear to him on earth.
If it's too late to ask for it, don't deprive him of his memory...
I don’t know if the one who is reading this prayer about him now believes in You, but even if he does not believe: help him!
Let him feel that he is not alone, that he is needed and loved ...
Merciful and kind my Lord! Fulfill my wish!
Perform it so that before my eyes close, I can say:
"Thank You, Lord! You hear me.
