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
