Last night while driving back to my dwelling place the word propensities came into my mind. I immediately begin to relate to how this tendency plays us as humans. This morning these words flowed through me…..   Propensities is my carnal man’s voice Laced with demonic noise Nudging me toward some cliff Promising me a mind blowing trip Or some sensational sip Of amber liquid on Ice Inviting my lips to kiss All guaranteeing me bliss   Lighting quick I ball my (spiritual) fist Through Jesus I resist Declaring the Word out loud To be heard by these voices Who know my lust so well. Propensities are like that They just present to you tailored fit acts Suited to your likes – like checking a box on Facebook   They hound you till the own you Fight you to get you Press you to trap you Slap Spit Trick Persuade….   Until you through Christ arise Resist with a persist – tant mind Committed will Spirit yield – ed A confidence you got this   Like Jesus in the wilderness You too shall be tempted To do what you want Act as you please As He did you must do Overcome your Propensities… And be free Free indeed     Copyright 2015 By William Owens...
