Deliverance

Romans 7:5-6 New English Translation (NET Bible)5 For when we were in the flesh, the sinful desires, aroused by the law, were active in the members of our body to bear fruit for death. 6 But now we have been released from the law, because we have died to what controlled us, so that we may serve in the new life of the Spirit and not under the old written code. Deliverance

 

Deliverance from the law and having died to what held us

Now I can be a spiritual man being led by Jesus Christ.

Through His Spirit placed in me, I can now serve my Master.

Reborn in newness of the Spirit into everlasting Life

 

Colossians 3:5 New English Translation (NET Bible)

So put to death whatever in your nature belongs to the earth: sexual immorality, impurity, shameful passion, evil desire, and greed which is idolatry.

 

Put to death iniquity and the sins that easily beset me.

Through the Power of The Lord Who now lives in me.

The wrath of God will pass me by and victory is mine.

Just through obedience to The Christ Who set me free.

 

Colossians 3:2-3 New English Translation (NET Bible)

Keep thinking about things above, not things on the earth, 3 for you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

 

I died, so I could live again now I’m hidden in my Lord.

He is my Life, He is my “me” and He made me His goal.

My life should now reflect again what happened deep within.

A little me, but mostly Him when He came to make me whole
