Galatians 5:17 New English Translation
17 For the flesh has desires that are opposed to the Spirit, and the Spirit has desires that are opposed to the flesh, for these are in opposition to each other, so that you cannot do what you want.
Romans 8:16 New English Translation
16 The Spirit himself bears witness to our spirit that we are God’s children.
My outer-man knows little about my inner-man
They have nothing in common except that they appear as one
One is just a vessel and the other is for the substance
That the vessel is holding like a jar filled to the brim
We seem to belong together, but that is just temporal
For what you see before you, is not at all what you get
An appeasing label like a colorful splattered mural
Tastefully decked out but basically scattered in the text
The inner-man is different for he is one with Christ
Seated in our Savior and next to the “All in All” resides
The light I carry enters the caverns of my mind at times
In the dead-end streets of reason, where my outer-man confides
Is it any wonder that the “my-light” seems lost at times?
Can my mind drag down my spirit once it is redeemed?
My spirit just isolates at times for it needs perfect freedom
As though floating through the air where victory is found
As intuition finishes and our thoughts are heaven bound
