Overcome Works of the Flesh
We daily crucify our flesh
As we abide, in Christ Jesus
Resolve to live, but by God’s Word
Assured God’s Spirit, is ever with us!
“Be strong and of good courage”
And Modern Israel again
Of these words, must take heed
Yet likewise, on our journey
We too also, have need.
God’s Pressure Cooker
God uses all ways
To turn up the heat
To soften our hearts
Our hardness, defeat.
Failing, Falling or Faith?
When we’re failing and falling
And we’re hitting, rock bottom
We can stand, on Christ Jesus
Our sure Rock, and still blossom.
Watching and Waiting
Be ever ready for His coming
Though we know not the hour
But be His faithful, wise steward
Await His blessings, to shower.
Escape Temptations
For when tempted, God provides
A way out, an escape
That we’re able, to endure
So let us learn, avoid mistakes.
Temptations
Once we’re strong in the Lord
And the power of His might
In the armor of God
Each temptation takes flight.
Flesh or Spirit?
In Christ we are righteous
Through Him, overcome
By His Spirit, victorious
Our battles are won!
Deception-Seduction
But in place of God’s lordship
Satan swiftly deceived
Appealed to their senses
Denied truths, God revealed.
Forbidden Fruit
Stay far from temptations
Not seeking our pleasure
Instead, cleaving closer
To Christ, our true treasure.
