 WHY? BECAUSE OUR JESUS SAID...
AND, AFTER ALL, HE WAS RAISED FROM THE DEAD!
He said we’d be healed and delivered from wrath...
because Jesus lives in our behalf; (Ro.5:9&10)
And, not only so, He wrote so we’d know:
This is ours now; Yet, we act as though...
His free gift of grace won’t allow us to...
walk in the wholeness that is created for you. (Ro.5:15)
It’s evident that by one man’s offense,
The Deceiver then reigned as king;
It’s much more evident, Jesus gift of righteousness...
brought justification of Life into being! (Ro.5:17)
My obedience cannot compete with Jesus obedience...
That caused The Lie’s great defeat! (Ro.5:19)
Could the problem then be that I really don’t see:
That, because He lives, Life now dwells in me?
Therefore, I continue to try to ‘measure-up’...
when He already gave me the Fullness of His Cup!
I’m no longer ‘bound’ to meet my own needs;
Absolutely nothing can damage His Seed;
To walk in His great security,
ito allow His payment to manifest in me.
Sin can no longer insert it’s hypnotic fangs...
because His Grace took us out of The Liar’s domain;
So, the issue no longer becomes: Did I sin?
The issue is: Do I believe who I am...
and, with honesty, let Him develop in me...
because I cannot earn His Inheritance; It’s perfect and free!
Now, picture the sweet simplicity of this:
We are in His Garden where Sin doesn’t exist!
He chose The Tree of Life by His Death;
Much more, now, His Life has entered that rest!
So, in all that I do, He has passed all my tests;
The Good News The Liar has tried to suppress!
Well, Father, then how do I not yield my members to be used again...
to meet my own needs; bless myself and then...
carry the burdens that I can’t afford?
The real meaning of Sin and you being your lord!
So, the fact is: Because You rescued me;
I don’t have to pay for each tragedy;
If I believe Your magnificent plan,
I will receive fully from Your capable Hands...
and then quickly give this out to another;
The real evidence of ‘loving your brother’.
Forgive us! You warned us specifically:
The Root of all evil is our love of money...
Not the paper or the metal we see...
but what this allows in my lordship to me!
To eat from Your Hand is harder than I thought;
I must not trust that I have been bought!
Then, I ask why You don’t do the things that You said...
when it’s me that’s deceived in supplying my own bread!
We both can’t be lord, so I must decide;
Otherwise, I can’t claim to be justified...
because I can’t pay the price justification demands;
This only can come from Sovereignty’s Hands!
Well, don’t leave this there, for Heaven’s sake;
His actions of Life are what is at stake!
I believe He puts this before us each day:
Choose Life; You are safe...is what He had to say;
To spend life free to accomplish this,
I think is to let Jesus free gift exist.
That ends all judgement and resentment, in fact,
His Life in me will accomplish all that;
Of Course!!! He did this when He walked here, on Earth!
False humility says...”His Kingdom can’t be birthed...
That’s only in Heaven, that you will see!”
And they charge for this garbage; What an insult to Me!
Then, Lord, why the aging and evident decay?
Because you expected that today;
These are strongholds that We are to pull down;
Rebellious spirts will challenge and surround...
to keep your eyes on all that you have to do;
Instead, choose My Life as I told you to...
because your spirit safely dwells in Me...
and is made alive....eternally...
and presently, right now, I said as well;
A token of evidence for those choosing to dwell...
in their own self-effort to become acceptable...
rather than reading their Father’s Will.
The wonder of this: Sovereignty, Who created all,
longing to dwell in His created, right now!
And, give to each one the joy He anticipated...
when He chose Life for me which necessitated...
that He give up His, expecting I would see:
A Love-Life like His that He freely gave to me!
If we’d choose each day Life on His Foundation,
this free gift of Christ Jesus could be offered to nations...
as well as to neighbors; Both, near and far;
If we would join together in who He said we are!
