Interference


Genesis 22:2 

God said, “Take your son—your only son, whom you love, Isaac—

and go to the land of Moriah! Offer him up there as a burnt offering

on one of the mountains which I will indicate to you.”

 

Interference

 

Natural grace you have to die

saving grace needs your place

Unconditional Love then resides

and I’m not double faced

 

God chooses to live through the redeemed

and our all must be attached to Him

Even the gifts He gave Himself

Our thoughts, desires and things

 

Most of us can leave the land of Ur

but can’t make the sacrifice

of all that God has given us

like Abe on mount Moriah

 

Rid yourself off all that’s harmful

Move it out for Jesus’ sake

Even what seems very legit

if it interferes with Heaven’s Grace

 

“Full authority to the Holy Spirit”

Do not let any hindrance quench

the power for your own survival

in Jesus Christ ... in joy and chance
