The Dividing Line
June 5, 2002
By: Rick L. King

There is a dividing line that is being drawn
Between the natural and the spiritual man
It is causing a great division
Since the natural mind, cannot understand

The dividing line becomes more evident
As deeper in the things of the Spirit you see
For you were once, in your natural state
And your spirit, was blinded by carnality

To go on with Jesus, sometimes we must turn our back
From the ones that refuse to hear
Many people still desire a carnal life
So closed, are their spiritual ears

They still think that their life is in their hands
The price for Jesus, they are unwilling to pay
Though you go deeper, in the things of God
Others will never go, as in their natural they want to stay

The deeper you go, the further the gap
Between the natural and spiritual man
The world and its luster, mean no more to you
As you desire only, to fulfill God’s plan

It is better not to say a word in defense
Words sometimes will only bring contention
Jesus didn’t defend himself before Pilate
As He knew they could not have understood, Gods intention

The natural man cannot receive
The things of the Spirit of God
The things of God are spiritually discerned
And will bring life and new freedom

There is a dividing line being drawn
Will you go where Jesus wants?
Which side of the dividing line?
Will you be on?
