I get songs prophetically sometimes and this one I've got here lately... maybe off & on for a month or so:
sung by: John Mellencamp "Wild Night" (written by van morrison)
...and the jist is the temptation to return to sin. Remember I exhort peeps "Don't go down dark alleys?"
Well in the song, it's like they are out doing that...
That weakness in that area.... it shouldn't be entertained. The enemy says 'remember' and that's right where the battle begins....even before brushing shoes off and standing in front of the mirror. The moment he says 'remember', is when you say 'remember thus saith the Lord?'
Whoever you are....you can get through this if you fight w/ the Word...if you take captive...if you refrain. You don't want to be caught in the vicious cycle and you don't have to be... it's not rocket science what Jesus taught us, it's implementation.
You are fine, you are capable, because you are HIS....now just believe it repeat some "I AM".... and get back up on your feet in victory!

...and the jist is the temptation to return to sin. Remember I exhort peeps "Don't go down dark alleys?"
Well in the song, it's like they are out doing that...
As you brush your shoes and stand before your mirror
And you comb your hair and grab your coat and hat
And you walk the streets trying to remember
All those wild nights breeze through your mind
And everything looks so complete
When you're walking out on the street
And the wind catches your feet
And sends you flying, crying
Oooh, oo-ooh wee the wild night is calling
All the girls walk by dressed up for each other
And the boys do the boogie woogie on the corner of the street
And the people passing by just stare with the wild wonder
And the inside jukebox roars just like thunder
And everything looks so complete
When you're walking out on the street
And the wind catches your feet
And sends you flying, crying
Oooh, oo-ooh wee
The wild night is calling
The wild --------night is calling
Come on out and dance
Come on out and make romance
Come on out and dance
Come on out and make romance
And everything looks so complete
When you're walking out on the street
And the wind catches your feet
And sends you flying, crying
Oooh, oo-ooh wee the wild night is calling
