Roots ... origination Part 4


Galatians 5:19-21                  New English Translation

19 Now the works of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, depravity, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hostilities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish rivalries, dissensions, factions, 21 envying, murder, drunkenness, carousing, and similar things. I am warning you, as I had warned you before: Those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God!

 

 Roots. Part 4

 

The source of origination that is where all issues start

To wait for an interpretation takes patience and time

An assured fall will be coming if you get in a hurry

And make all concessions with the men on the outside

 

Outside of motivation that comes directly from God

Outside of the purpose that God had in mind

To lay yourselves bare before others who are sinners

You should absolutely resist for that is God’s to find

 

The Holy Spirit’s conviction leads towards His Holiness

And Satan well he just constantly accuses

All he tries to do indicts us to ourselves

And that is just his way he perpetually abuses

 

The reproach to my conscience ceases when sin is confessed

And cleansed by the Precious Blood as I make a “new” start

The Holy Spirit never reproves me any farther

For that is the Way God works, no baggage than to cart
