Sometimes that old man,
sneaks his way back in
for our souls he wants
to repossess and win.
So he taunts us with our past,
dangling in front of us
the delights we once found
in our former worldly lusts.
He tells us we needn’t be,
so committed to God’s Word
that we can still find delight
if the truth could be blurred.
He tantalizes us with things,
once giving us such pleasure
telling us they’re more rewarding
then our heavenly treasure.
Sometimes that old man,
in our lives creeps back in
but we who are saved . . .
know he is all about the sin!
~~~~~~~~
That ye put off concerning
the former conversation
the old man, which is corrupt
according to the deceitful lusts;
For I know that in me
(that is, in my flesh,)
dwelleth no good thing:
for to will is present with me;
but how to perform that
which is good I find not.

Amen and Amen . . . Sorry I missed sending you my weekly prayer yesterday Pastor Jim. My three grandchildren were here for the last four days and when they left yesterday . . . I did what God did and I rested!! Tired, but so blessed for these young men in my life.
So here is my prayer for you 🙏 Dear heavenly Father I lift Pastor Jim up to you in prayer that you may be with him in the week ahead. I pray You will give him Your strength, power and wisdom in his day to day ministry. I pray you will inspire and encourage him as he puts together his new message. I pray you will prepare the hearts and minds of those who hear his message so that they may receive and believe. I pray you will protect and keep his family healthy and safe. I pray for their continued walk of faith and trust in You. In Jesus name Amen 🙏

They are 16, 14 and 12. They all love the Lord and are growing up to be good Christian young men. Truly a blessing to me!

That old man has to be put to death. We are more than conquerers through Christ Jesus.
