My friend all Believers need to grow, in their Savior whom they know, <br />For when troubles do abound, you need a faith that’s sure and sound. <br />As many people believe my friend, however saving faith isn’t the end, <br />The enemy prowls each day and hour, looking for men he can devour. <br /> <br />We need to be close to God’s side, where in His shadow we can hide, <br />And as you walk close to The Lord, The Holy Spirit can use you more. <br />To comfort a dear friend or a brother, one who’s been hurt by another, <br />Taking them to God’s healing place, that’s in the shadow of His Grace. <br /> <br />God did much more for us when, through His Son we were Born Again, <br />He want’s us now to walk with Him, The One who died for all of our sin. <br />To walk with Christ in God’s Love, filled with the knowledge from above, <br />Knowledge from The Eternal Source, to help us stay His narrow course. <br /> <br />All things we can truly do, through Christ who strengthens me and you, <br />God helps us walk a higher plane, gaining power through Christ’s name. <br />Power men receive from Jesus Christ, who died to give men a New Life, <br />So against the devil we can stand, when we fully rely on the Son of Man. <br /> <br />He who is in you is Greater than, the one who is in this world my friend, <br />But we need to tap The Spirit’s power, daily friend each and every hour, <br />And this as we allow The Word of God, to light the pilgrim paths we trod. <br />Only then can we live in Victory, through the One who died you and me. <br /> <br />(Copyright ©10/2006)<br /><br />Bob Gotti<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/victorious-living/
