360 Turn Around

The design of repentance is to

Overrule our death sentence...

To accept the Lord fully and to come to grace....

To seek the Lord humbly upon our face...

In conclave...

So we understand that God gave His only begotten Son

to conquer the spirit of a sin slave.

Jesus Christ paid the price

to sacrifice His earthly life

so that His blood would [more than] suffice

when we willfully decide to,

subside to,

the pride of life and

the Lord in our pre-meditative minds.

Jesus was beaten, crucified and hung,

so it's time to live our lives as though we appreciate

His sacrifice because between you and I,

at one point and time,

we've treated His blood like dung.

We can pretend like we've never sinned to feel better

But if we flip to Romans 3,

We can taste and see

None of us in ourselves are righteous, no, not one.

The Son of Man had feelings too, even replied,

'Eli Sabachthani'

which expressly implies

He felt rejected and denied

but in the midst of His emotions

He went thru the proper notions

cause He still got the work done.

Although the Lord allowed this to occur, we must

Concur, with the God whose wisdom ruminates

So the light the Lord puts within us can illuminate

Let us not be pretentions

but rather sincerely momentous

about the propensity in which we love the Lord.

We are not to frustrate His grace;

When we have communication

with God about our situations,

The magnitude of His propitiation

Lets me know that there is therefore no more condemnation

To those who are truly in Christ.

Since He died,

He rose, He fought and He

Conquered, I can only lay down my life.

Because there is no greater love than

What He's done and

also He's paid the price.

The price of pride, and lust, and strife.

Even though afresh I've crucified Him and have denied

Him thrice

before the cock ever had a chance to crow trice.

I thank God because He gave me a chance to be a living sacrifice.

He's seen me worth His blood even when I

was contrite and thought of my life as

less than a widow's mite.

He envisions me as a joint heir with Jesus

Christ

even when I was behaving like I

Was in hell and my life propelled the bitter fruit

of a Canaanite.

This is why I strive to kill my flesh and I must

deny myself.

He has called us to be a demonstration

and Has charged us to be the illumination

Because the conclusion of the whole situation

Is to love Him with our whole hearts and fear Him.

That's all that matters,

Not the abrasive chitter chatter

But rather

Lets focus on the conclusion of the whole matter...

Let's kill the old man and let the new man arise.

When the new man arrives

He strives

Not to cause strife,

However he will use his tongue as a sword

To cut down the root of pride

Because he understands this walk is not about running ahead,

But ensuring you are walking at the proper pace

Of your own designated stride

There is an understanding of who we are in the kingdom

And against demons we commit spiritual homicide.

This I warn to all who are far and wide-

God gives grace to the humble

And humbly resists the spirit of pride.

He's the author and finisher of our faith

And Jesus, the mediator intercedes for us and

Pleads our case

Regardless of our most recent and hidden disgrace

His will is that none should perish,

But that we should be in place

So I hide under His pinions and seek peace in

A space of refuge

Where I can go into my sacred prayer

Closet and earnestly seek His face.

Here is where I come to full true surrender

And Repentance,

Where I receive love, grace, mercy, and forgiveness

Where He cancels our debt of sins of

Commission and omissions

So that we do not conform

But transform

And embrace our endowment of all dominion
