Tombstone

I ain't playin' the role of some defeated worn out anymore.
Cause that makes it about me and what I do.
It's time to get up, strap up, get back to war.

Who can stop us?
I ask you this:
if God is the ultimate. The source of power.
if He created everything, life, power, love, air, function, music, buildings, mountains
and has the power to take any of them away.
I laugh that you think the creation can overtake the creator.
My God cannot be stopped. He cannot be ceased.
So then I ask you if this GOD is with us. Who can be against us?!
I'm nothing big. I'll name drop. the God of the universe is on my side.
The God of all time. The God who ruled before he invented the time.
The God who didn't even spare his own Son, but gave him for us.
How will he not give us all things. Who will challenge this?
Who will challenge the judge who has never been wrong?
Who will dare to attempt to separate us from His love and power?
Even death runs and hides. Even time itself, the present and the future submits.
Angels and demons worship and shutter at his presence.
So I ask you who could separate us?
We are more than conquerors through him who loved us. (Romans 8:31-39)

So why I say this is because I'm tired of this habitual load of crap sin.
Tired of this continual temptation that seems to make sense at the time.
It seems to be overwhelming that I can't walk away from.
But you forget what the Word says?!
That no temptation comes that I cannot stand,
if not then he's given me a way out and I don't have to deal with it. (1 Corinth 10:13)

Tired of Satan telling me that I'll never over come this.
That it's something I have to deal with my whole life.
Thats crap. Thats a load of lies.
My sword reads this that the One before me
has disarmed the powers and authorities of darkness.
Not only that but made a public spectacle of them
Standing in triumph over them with the cross. His whooping stick. (Col 2:15)

To say, I'll always deal with it is making a mockery of his power.
I believe, and I know he has the power to overcome everything.
If he can split a sea like a paperback book, he can do this.
If he can kill a fig tree and bring to life a dead man by speaking to it.
Why can he not speak to the one he has already defeated and stop it.

To say, I'll always deal with it isn't putting death to sin (Col 3:15)
It's subduing it, leaving it on life support.
Waiting and allowing it to flare up again.
I'm pulling the plug, starving it from any energy or life.
I wanna watch it die, suffocate, wither away, every last piece of sin.
Cause my Savior has power,
That means here and now I claim Christ's power.
I claim the same Jesus that conquered sin once and for all.
That this temptation has no hold on me.
Today, there is a tombstone where so much pain has made it's home.
There's a tombstone where God came and Satan was defeated.

From now on, every-time Satan comes near and starts poking temptation my way.
I'll turn and point to the tombstone.
Reminding him, that I have been freed from Sin.
Because my Jesus has freed me from this continual rule of sin. (Romans 8:2)
I cannot claim anything I've done,
because what I've done is what caused the pain.
But what He's done, is what has freed the captives,
what has healed the broken, what has killed the deadly.
It's only by his power will this die,
so I pray that he slaughters my desire for sin.
That it would not be left withering,
the only remnants would left is the tombstone.
It's amazing the shape of this tombstone.
That every-time I turn to point at it.
To see the only thing that stops Satan in his tracks. That catches him up.
To see what I can always turn and look at.
To see the sight thats never grows old.
To see where pain once was and now freedom flows.
The only thing I want to look at.
The cross.
