10-20-15 Unclean Spirits

²³ And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,

²⁴ Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.

²⁵ And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.

²⁶ And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him.

²⁷ And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him.

Mark 1:23-27 KJV

~~~~~~~~~~~

An unclean spirit likes to sow discord

And seeks to own the weakest mind around.

Such fights and arguments are their reward;

Where trouble’s stirred this spirit can be found.

Unless the Holy Spirit fills your heart

Ask Christ to guard your soul or you’ll be next.

They spot a child of God and then will start

To try to tear you down and leave you vexed.

The Savior lives within so call His name!

The Holy Ghost will lead you through this scene.

He might have you rebuke it out in shame

Or lead the man possessed to Christ to clean.

You’re led to where you’re needed most of all.

Let Christ stay in control and heed His call.

7-28-14 All You Have to Do is Ask

Your daily life can be a lion’s den,

For Satan seeks to vex your very soul,

So you need wisdom time and time again

To face the opposition and stay whole.

Reach out to God your Father when in doubt;

You know He longs to give you what you ask.

The wisdom that you seek is there throughout

To move the right way through your current task.

You might be just the one somebody needs,

The nourishment that feeds their hungry heart;

Seek God’s great wisdom first and then proceed

To let His Spirit lead you from the start.

It’s foolish to rely on your own wit;

You’ll lose your way for sure as one unfit.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If any of you lack wisdom, you should ask God,

who gives generously to all without finding fault,

and it will be given to you.

James 1:5 NIV
