A Controlling Spirit

You find a deep need;
To have your own way;
So, the plans of all others;
Must follow your say.

So listen not, to your feelings;
No dark thoughts, in your mind;
Set your heart, and call on Jesus;
Claim His Word, in prayer remind.

For if still, ungodly attitudes;
With our mindset, still unchanged;
We’ve not brought, all to Jesus;
So be transformed, wholly changed.

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

“Lord, examine and cleanse me;
Search and prove me within;
Try my mind, and my heart;
Do reveal, where I still sin”.

We’re ever craving, to be loved;
Fish for compliments, approval;
Ever wanting to feel wanted;
So insecure, fear disapproval.

Be daily dying, to myself
Putting on the LORD Jesus
To walk by faith, being faithful
Knowing You, are ever with us.

So how to set, our heart anew
To keep abiding in Jesus’ vine?
Not entrapped in carnal thoughts
Instead, be fixed on things divine.

For now in Christ, it is our body
That is the temple, of the LORD
His Spirit, to dwell within us
Be dedicated, His glory poured.

Not by our own efforts
Our flesh, cannot conquer
We need Jesus’ power
Without Him, we falter.
