Focus on being filled by God Archives - Page 4 of 16

Denying Ourself

Start ignoring, rejecting;
Those carnal desires;
Not feeding our flesh;
Starve of all, it requires.

So, cease doubting, worrying;
Claim those promises God said;
Then from little faith, grow;
To great faith, instead!

Old baggage, that binds;
Improper patterns, still prevailing;
Harmful habits, wrong reactions;
Let our God, start changing.

Now put on, the Lord Jesus;
Not my feelings, inner surges;
For so quickly, so easily;
We succumb, to carnal urges.

So full surrender, full obedience;
Rebuke all ‘foes’… His Spirit fill;
With great faith, do not doubt;
Be not hindering, God’s will.

Learn to lean and to cast;
All our cares, upon Him;
Not weighed down with worry;
We’ve the Holy Spirit, within!

Not little faith, with self-hindering;
But great faith, wholly trusting;
Be not burdened with our baggage;
But fully yielded, Jesus entrusting.

And so, anxiety and depression;
Two perspectives, two worldviews;
Based on men, or God’s Word;
Which one, will you choose?

Asking God, to send revival;
Start in me, LORD sanctify;
Use my life, to reach the lost;
See saved souls, multiply.

So not to focus, on our feelings;
But recall, our Victor, Jesus;
Not to fall into self-pity;
We are victorious, He’s ever with us.
