Spirit


Acts 24:25

25 While Paul was discussing righteousness, self-control, and the coming judgment, Felix became frightened and said, “Go away for now, and when I have an opportunity, I will send for you.”

 

 

Self-righteousness and the Spirit

 

The spirit’s constant moving

In directing and guiding and

a heart that wants to rest

in comfort with the Lord.

 

In peace that is self-chosen

by one's own understanding

and limited by the levels

of obedience to the Lord

 

The spirit will provoke us

to strengthen and encourage.

To undergird and help

the Saints of the Lord

 

Without God's Holy Spirit

existing is our calling.

Perception and understanding

are none about the Lord

 

Embraced by nil and zero

intertwined by own desires.

Death in total darkness

until action by the Lord
