It is easy to recognize the old man now that I am born anew.  What I once was I am no more.  However it is a daily choice who I allow to rule my life; my old sinful nature or to be the vessel filled with Jesus who is my life, joy, and peace.

Put on the New Man

You know all the signs when flesh makes a stand;
Do not hesitate, put on the new man.
The new man will not speak the hard words that condemn;
He pushes the evil temptation away from him.
When the flesh is provoked and is ready to fight,
The new man with armor in place puts it to flight.
Who is the new man we speak of today?
It is Jesus in you that is obeyed.
The new man is one with Jesus the Christ;
The new man is alive and in His light.
When the old man revives his ugly head,
The new man reminds him he is dead.
Put on the new man at each days new start,
Allow Jesus to rule and reign in your heart.
You will find practice makes perfect as the Word says;
Jesus is always with you and is your help when by the Spirit led.    

Ephesians 3:22-24
That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness
