Mind matters
Romans 8:5-6
5 For those who live according to the flesh have their outlook shaped by the things of the flesh,
but those who live according to the Spirit have their outlook shaped by the things of the Spirit.
6 For the outlook of the flesh is death, but the outlook of the Spirit is life and peace,
Mind matters
The mind absorbs quick and near
opinions and thoughts of others.
The answers come quick and clear
before my heart can absorb it.
Right or wrong my mind can't admit
that it does not care one way or the other
as long as it finds itself in the midst
of adoration in purpose from others.
It will not share or give up its place
although it will never admit that
as it dominates the human race
excusing failure ... like a pack rat.
It cannot do ... what it cannot
as it searches for ways to improve
the things God presented through the flood
and its effect all the way through through.
Of the parts which survived judgment
the mind, the body and soul.
The mind is the greatest obstruction
to make a person whole.
It tramples the heart without mercy
for it wants flesh’s will to be done.
Quick and fast very much in a hurry
so the heart has no time to control.
The issues of life which are pressing
to find answers founded on love.
in a place without second guessing
directed to the spirit from above.
The heart by itself can't make it.
it takes the strength of our Lord to subdue
that mind through the plan of salvation
is mindless and really has no clue.
Even the purpose of the Lord in life's motion
are explained by the mind to the core.
It will try to do it without revelation
because in waiting for that it gets bored.
It seems like it takes forever
before the mind listens to the heart,
but through prayer to Jesus, He'll sever
your mind from that worldly part.
So the answers are all in Jesus
without Him all that's left is wrath.
is wrath dressed up in great beauty
for the old mind is truly obsessed.
Soul...body… and spirit in oneness
is great gain if in Christ they reside
but without Jesus there’s only darkness
that the mind will call a great light.
