Freed By His Spirit
Freed By His Spirit
As a child I remember playing games
like tag and tying each other up
but even a few moments in the confines of those ropes
would cause the anger in us to erupt.
Remember the man Houdini who
went to great lengths to endanger his own life
all for the applause or a fickle worldly crowd
who had come hoping that he would actually die.
We play such foolish and careless games
with our eternal spirit that He has placed so tenderly within
after all He gave His life on the old rugged cross
purposely He did this to free us totally from our sins.
Why then would we play war games with the enemy of our soul
for games oh no he truly does not want to play
but instead he seeks us out to kill and destroy
and with all intentions toward us to mortally slay.
Most of us have seen how Hollywood glamorizes war
with a poignant and heart rendering touch
but we did not smell the stench of death and filth from the prisoner of war camps
and this deceit pleases the devil of this world so very much.
A final plea I will put before you
to bring to mind that dreadful price
Christ Jesus gave His all for us to be free by His Spirit and
I pray that you choose to serve Him then you will find freedom liberty and life.
