Deeper than


Deeper than

 

Romans 7:6 

6 But now we have been released from the law, because we have died to what controlled us, so that we may serve in the new life of the Spirit and not under the old written code.

 

To serve with gladness ... joy is a gift from God

Appreciation for salvation ... that lives deep within

Deeper than emotion ...  deeper than myself

Seated in heavenly places ...  delivered from all sin.

 

Free-flow from God’s Spirit ... running into mine

from far beyond the universe ... into this earthly vessel

Communication to my inner-man ...  the only part that’s clean

far beyond the “me” and “mine”... which dwell in this tore-up castle.

 

Deep inside I wait for Him ... to speak and communicate

in that place He made clean and fair ... where now He resides.

As reverence reigns with Holy Fear ... and Love smiles unafraid

in the renewal and refreshing ... of the lovely Breath of Life.

 

To overcome the carnal ...  I need to know this position

to remember I’m “God’s temple” ... before this human race.

A place that offers rest and peace ... through the Holy Spirit

through understanding and faith ... provided in each case.

 

Jan Wienen

 

Confusion setting in

 

Experience through repetition ... or let us say: “Whenever”.

I’m getting confused right now ... my mind is taking charge.

That’s no good well understood ... thoughts start to wander

in that fleshly never land ... where everything is a farce.
