Checkmate!
by Debra Burgess I like to live in the regions where I can be literally disconnected from my physical surroundings. As I float around in my happy place, rarely do I open my eyes unless I happen to be driving. A mere conversation or phone call can bring me tumbling from my thoughts on high, down into the hemisphere of this existence I am currently passing through; the alien in a foreign land. This is about the time I realize my inner man has been "checked". Have I told you about my inner man, or should I speak from the female viewpoint and tell you of my inner woman? Actually I call her "whoa-man"? I keep trying to remember the old "whoa-man" should long ago have been "offed" but let's be frank; that fleshly being likes to resurrect as if starring in a movie sequel straight out of "Friday the 13th". Perhaps I should just start referring to her as Jasonique? Nah, she doesn't deserve a name beyond"offed"! I have been studying with the Master however and He is teaching me new maneuvers to truly put my inner whoa-man in check for good. He's teaching me about the final move..checkmate! Eph 4:22-24 that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness I love to encourage the heart of people to be who they are meant to be in Christ, individually made and uniquely designed. www.debrabee.org Email: [email protected] Article Source: http://www.faithwriters.com |
