Beyond me

 

Ephesians 6:12 

12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavens.

 

What is it than … that can weigh down my spirit?

How can Satan harass … what is not really mine?

He interferes with me … and the Holy Spirit?

Can he deprive me of the joy of just feeling fine?

 

A disregard for sin … that will oppress my spirit

with compromise in tow I ignore my “loving” Him.

Conscience will grow dull … in a quick fashion

until all feeling is gone and I see "the might have been".

 

My spirit then imprisoned and the soul without guidance

when my spirit is oppressed my mind can’t function well.

An attitude of indifference will clothe me like a garment

and selfishness will flourish … as my pride will swell.

 

How to exercise my spirit … to oppose oppression?

Can I resist it with prayer? How about God’s intuition?

Jesus knows my weakness? Will He make me stronger

and remove the powers of evil beyond the soul’s recognition?
