The Flesh and Spirit

The Flesh and the Spirit 

By George Thurlow

(C) 10/1/18

How foolish the man who knowingly enters the mire,

And heeds not the warnings, but intentionally conspires

With the flesh to do its bidding, however it directs;

Ignoring the Holy Spirit, not being circumspect.

Oh wretched man there is escape for a way has been provided:

By walking in the Spirit there the heart won't be divided.

Romans 7:14-25 Romans 8:1-15
1 Corinthians 10:13

Inspired by Pastor Merle L. Mitchell's sermons

The God Kind of Faith

The God Kind of Faith

By George Thurlow

Copyright 4/10/18

Active Faith,

Stubborn faith,

Faith that won't let go;

Aggressive faith,

Tenacious faith,

Faith with great gusto.

Authoritative faith,

Commanding faith,

Faith that gets things done;

Audacious faith,

Outrageous faith,

That makes the devil run.

Confident faith,

Believing faith,

Knowing how to wield the Sword;

Effective faith,

Expectant faith,

Executing the will of God.

Hold Fast

Hold Fast

Hold fast, don't faint my brother

For Christ is at the door,

"We're closer to heaven's portals

Than we ever were before".

                                            Hold fast unto the Word of God,

Don't get "squirmy" in your faith,

Throwing in the towel

So near the finish of the race.

Fix your eyes upon the prize

You are standing on the brink

Of a miracle soon to happen

You're much closer than you think.

Hold fast and do not waver

Be a true soldier of Christ,

Take up the sword of the Spirit,

Live an overcoming life.

Hold fast, don't faint my sister

For Christ is at the door,

"We're closer to heaven's portals

Than we ever were before".

This poem was inspired by Rev. Merle L. Mitchell's sermon Hold Fast preached on 3/18/2018 pm service at Faith Lighthouse Assembly of God in Old Orchard Beach, Maine.

*"We're closer to heaven's portals than we ever were before"

*squirmy salvation".
