For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit.
1 Peter 3:18 NIV
Oh, how we needed this my friends
Myself, mostly how could one reject
This opportunity of a life time
Walking in blindness of the unseen
Which was holding me to focus on the seen
Tripping, stumbling around into a ditch
Following the other guides of this world
The clutter and debris was clogging this ditch
When the rain come down the mountain one day
Flowing like a raging river with nothing
To grab ahold of pushing me under the debris
Looking for all the others which lead me here
Tired and about to give up in this fight
Not that I wanted to die but have lost hope
That there was anything with purpose to live for
This is all spiritual battle within in this poem
Finally in finding the red letters of Jesus
To be snatched out the ditch about to drown
With a new purpose and meaning being taught
And guided on a new path leaving old self in the ditch
Jesus placed a spirit within to teach
Which in these times one can see this world rejects
As did myself before God revealed different
Lord knows we all need help in these times
This world is run by the evil one
Which is why Jesus had to sacrifice Himself
That we might have a way to return to God
Not of own works but through Christ spirit
To allow this new covenant birthed from Pentacost
To spread like wildfire the evil one can not stop
None are good and myself was bad as any
If we could be good to please God in own works
Then Jesus death is in vain
But through His death we have available
A fresh new start to this new life within
All one has done can be thrown away left in the ditch
To put to death the old ways in the body
Allowing the spirit within to give life
A new beginning of Christ to reign within
But then one shall see it's a battle of the unseen
To be pulled away from the chaos
these blinded eyes once seen that caused disbelief
Remembering these are lost people as was I
Nothing I could do but get tired of fighting
Against God which I didn't even realize
Until God revealed the times He was there
When satan was leading me to death
My will is no good and needs to be put to death
In order the will of Christ might come alive and lead
Christ fills with love, peace, joy, humility, self control, gentleness, into a new creation.
But indeed nothing has gotten easy but a longing
That another might receive His love
The corruption, darkness, deception, division
and wickedness leaves me in awe in these times.
I will rescue you from your own people and from the Gentiles. I am sending you to them to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’
Acts 26:17?-?18 NIV
