The Spirit To Discern

“We have received….the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God” 1 Corinthians 2:12

 We never stop being tempted by Satan efforts to win our soul. In fact sometime the temptations are greater when we become Christians. Jesus too was tempted. Sometimes they may come in forms that meet our visceral approval, but pray and trust in the Lord would reveal their underlying truths. Remember, when Satan come knocking, say “Jesus, you get this one”

 

The Spirit to Discern

Two forces guide mankind today

Having control on what ever we may

Eager to defeat the Savior for our soul

Satan offers gifts that he might take control

Pearls and other jewels are just a start

Infatuations, lasciviousness and cravings of the heart

Reaching the top at work in a dubious way

Is all part of Satan leading us astray

There is great danger in wishing for a thing

The dark angel lurks for such, always anticipating

Our ephemeral desires that are no more than a fad

Desires for those things that’ll make us bad

Incredibly Satan’s hold is powerless if we

Submit to our Father, our Lord Almighty

Committed by His love when He is invited in

Exalted and Praise for all that He is doing

Reach out to the Father and there’ll be little concern

Nothing escapes the Spirit He gave us, the Spirit to Discern
