“Soulish” Christians Part 2

 

To be delivered from self-consciousness is part of the redemption

It does not happen all at once, but we’ll be sanctified that way

By the knowledge of our inward parts, we must apprehend our condition

Through the knowledge that is provided as The Holy Spirit prays

 

It is truly needed to search through our desires

Regenerated believers often don’t realize

The presence of The Spirit or even when He is moving

Upon their sensitivity, which was long ago despised

 

Even spiritual senses are notices at certain times

Realizing their origin is not often understood

It transfers from just a feeling, which we digest through emotion

And then plainly is forgotten as we do with regular food

 

The soul is affected by outside influences

The world’s penetration is part of its provision

The repetition of this constant bombardment

Will often leave it senses in a vague derision

 

Soulish Christians band together to certain directions

Either towards emotion or reason directing the path

They will go to extremes of where they think they came from

For this is their deliverance into a temporary fad
