Your Victor’s Roar (Poem)

Are the imaginations of your heart and mind,

Disciplined enough to ‘see’ your problems resolved,
Even while navigating twists and turns that bind?
Ponder their key role in making problems …dissolve.

When with problems we are ‘obese’,
With Godly faith, we are not fit.
On life, problems ‘extend their lease’,
And make us a ‘faith hypocrite’.

Here is God’s best way for us to win this fight:
Reverse gears from fear-to-faith,
By igniting imagination’s Son-light,
Light that changes problems’ face.

‘Imagination’s Son-light?!’, you exclaim?

Here is a tip that will give you a good edge.

Between your mind and heart, this I acclaim:

Imagination serves as a two-way bridge.

To traffic on this bridge, there is no limit.

And never is there any obstruction.

Motives control what will enter and exit.

To this traffic, God pays close attention. ¹

Since the heart is where God sets up His throne,

He intends righteous hearts to discipline carnal minds.

But because to sinfulness we are prone,

We all have reversed the roles that He assigns.

So when problems against us assail,

It’s natural to fill our heart with negativity.

Since the heart is our belief chamber and scale,

It returns deeply held fears, stifling creativity.

Reversing the roles as God to us has assigned,

Flips on The Glory Light of His on-board Son,

Igniting faith’s imaginations in your mind,

Putting faithlessness and all fears …on the run!

If you’ll allow, His Glory Light is strong enough,

To discipline your thoughts and tame your tongue,

Enabling you to stand-up against problems’ bluff,

And in your heart’s eyes, to ‘see’ …victory won!

So, between your righteous heart and your carnal mind,

Which one’s in charge, the one always taking the lead,

Notably on problems that put you in a bind?

From the darkness of your carnal mind, may you be freed.

Be sure it’s by a heart of faith your tongue is bridled,
If to any listener you may clearly signal,

Your desire to share problems that around you circle,

Lest your problems bask in …palaver that’s carnal. ²

Be sure it’s God’s Word in your heart you store,

Fuel for His Glory Light and much more!

With it, above all problems you will soar,

And, in faith, you’ll sound your victor’s ROAR.

But if you put your victor’s roar on hold,
Please receive from me this gentle reminder:
Don’t wait for victory your eyes to behold.
It’s our <<ROAR>> that frees us from problems’ grinder. ³

God’s Word fuels faith-filled imaginations,

That discipline our carnal minds,

And to problems, birth Grace-filled solutions,

That from problems’ >>tight grip<< …unbinds.

¹ See: Genesis 8:21 and Luke 1:51

² Profuse and idle talk; chatter

³ We ROAR as we verbally declare God’s relevant promises over and above our problems. God calls it ‘FAITH’ when we do this before seeing or experiencing physical manifestations of our prayers.
