Mark 8:18 New English Translation

18 Though you have eyes, don’t you see? And though you have ears, can’t you hear? Don’t you remember?

 

The flesh

 

Unconsciously feelings became part of my life and put the choice before my "will"

To follow the pathway of my feelings or to apprehend through the Spirit God’s Will

If I follow the first as the principle for my life, I will expose me to many dangers

For my “will” then is weak, and unable to stand, and to follow or hear what God wills

 

Intuition in the Spirit is likely the most sensitive part of me

It is that part that the Lord Jesus personally gently instilled

I was dead and He found me, and He became the first I saw

When I was lifted out of deadness, He whispered please be still

 

But now my flesh is shouting out through feelings and emotions

“Hey! Pay attention to me”, “you owe me all of your devotion”

And when I pay that no attention it will grab me by the throat

And it crams me into depression until my fuses overload

 

That makes me quick to anger as I run through halls of frustration

To knock on every door I see to escape this strange sensation

I run into folks and I cannot see them as I label them one by one

Like no one is good and no one cares, now I am the prodigal son

 

Feeding with the swine and I cannot see, but they communicate well

They never seem to get frustrated only irritated once in a while

They look at me and see no difference, you know I even smell like them

They really don’t have to label me, they give space and don’t condemn

 

Intuition is only active when peace and quiet rules a given dimension

My spirit’s soft voice gets compromised through the ruckus of emotion

Ears that not hear the first impression, then eyes that can’t see the day

Convinced all things are made for me and all things just should go my way
