Only Way


Proverbs 10:17 

17 The one who heeds instruction is on the way to life,
but the one who rejects rebuke goes astray.

Only Way

Unless baptized ... with the Holy Spirit

you won’t even know that warfare is going on.

The reality of things around human beings

will pass you by in denseness ... as in a steak well-done.

 

Burned on the outside ... pretty dry within

Nothing here is tender ... until it is chewed up.

All outside is the spiritual and of God’s domain

and you in a state of existing ... lifeless in an empty cup.

 

But with the Holy Spirit ... and power from above

all things are now possible ... in the strength of the Savior.

Death of the flesh that lost old soul ... and a new life at the door

Inspired by Christ, God’s only Son ... Who is the great Creator
