Natural


1 Corinthians 15:42-44 New King James Version (NKJV)

42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption. 

43 It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power. 

44 It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

Dwelling

As long as one dwells in the soul and in the imaginations of the mind

Thoughts will direct the way as vision’s plans are made

Feeling good about yourself is mastered by emotions

The body rules with demand to have its desires in the shade

 

What happens to our spirit … the center of our being?

Why is it so easily overpowered by body and by soul? 

My spirit will grow dull under the weight of these 2 culprits

What was once a new beginning … is now far off the goal

 

I never seem to mature … in deeper understanding

Unless the weight of flesh … gets moved out of the way

To draw on the Spirit’s power … should have no restrictions

Which are mostly self-imposed … in self-centered days

 

The Spirit is very sensitive and so hard to recognize.

When He speaks it is delicate like a whisper in the wind

Even when used to it … it takes full concentration

To get yourself lost in Him … into where you should have been
