Rise Up ~

Whenever you fall,
you must rise up again
no matter the struggle
or the amount of pain.

Lest Satan our enemy,
will fight to keep you down
he will do anything . . .
to pin you, to the ground.

Whenever you tumble,
get right back on your feet
no matter the plunge
or you will suffer defeat.

For the devil our adversary,
likes to keep you in chains
he will jump at the chance
to hold you in his restrains.

Whenever you stumble,
when into darkness you fall
Jesus will light your way
if on His name you call!

~~~~~~~

Micah 7:7-9

” Therefore I will look unto the Lord;
I will wait for the God of my salvation:
my God will hear me.

Rejoice not against me,
O mine enemy: when I fall,
I shall arise; when I sit in darkness,
the Lord shall be a light unto me.”

Disarming Satan ~

Every day there is a war,
and we must be prepared
lest in one of Satan’s traps
we find ourselves ensnared.

Before the warning bell,
sounds its harsh alarm
with the Word of God
we must be readily armed.

We must be equipped,
with our battle Verses
so we can fight off the lies
Satan eagerly disburses.

The Scriptures contain,
all the ammo that we need
if we use them in our fight
Satan’s army will concede.

In case of a surprise attack,
at the sound of the first alarm
just open up your  Bible . . .
and Satan you will disarm!

One-Step- At-A-Time ~

It’s a daily thing,
this Christian walk
it’s a one-step-at-a-time
this Christian walk.

It’s a journey,
at times a troublesome one
it’s a battle
with Satan that must be won.

It’s a voyage,
one storm right after another
it’s a struggle
to keep our faith from going under.

It’s a passage,
from the darkness into the light
it’s an encounter
needing all our strength and might.

It’s an expedition,
with our very own cross to bear
it’s a fight
not to buckle under from our care.

It’s a daily thing,
this Christian walk
it’s a one-step-at-a-time
to walk this Christian walk!

When All is Peaceful ~

When all is at peace,
when your soul is still . . .
when joy and happiness
is all that you feel.

That is the time,
to prepare for war . . .
for, Satan will surely bring
adversity to your door.

When all is peaceful,
when all is calm and serene
wearing your armor . . .
must still be a daily routine.

For, you don’t know when,
the battle will begin or start
you need to be prepared . . .
lest an arrow, hits your heart.

Discouragement and despair,
are Satan’s favorite targets
your peace and your calm
he’ll gladly add to the harvest.

So, when ever you are feeling,
peaceful and at rest . . .
make sure you are ready
and in your armor dressed!

Coming to A Church Near You ~

We need to be watchful,
our minds, need to be aware
for Satan, our enemy roams
in and out of everywhere.

He prowls around looking,
for any opportunity . . .
from his spiritual attacks
none of us, has immunity.

He’s powerful and potent,
he’s a very dangerous one
he wants to obliterate . . .
the true Gospel of God’s Son.

He is the great deceiver,
he wants us all to doubt
he will distort the truth
so he can shut Jesus out.

He goes into God’s true fold,
looking for His sheep to steal
so unto his evil lies . . .
we might come to bow and kneel.

We need to be watchful,
Satan’s coming to a church near us
and we must remember . . .
in  is false teachings, not to trust!

1 Peter 5:8-10

“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil,
 as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions
are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto
his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while,
 make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.”

A Battle to Fight ~

Today I am getting ready,
for there is a battle to fight
and I am going to be suited
in the power of Jesus’ might.

I am going to be putting on,
the girdle of truth and grace
then I will be able to look . . .
Satan right in his ugly face.

When the devil looks at me,
he’ll wonder just who I am
but soon he will figure out
I am a child of the Lamb.

I know Satan will tempt me,
it’s become a daily thing
but onto my Lord and Savior
my flesh is going to cling!

Holy Might ~

Lord, You’ve opened my eyes,
to the darkness of mankind
now let it be Your holy light
flooding my heart and mind.

Let me turn away from,
that which cause’s You offense
let me not be like those who
straddle compromise’s fence.

Let me be bold in the battle,
steadfast in my daily fight
let me be for You a soldier
full of Your holy might.

Though mankind may scoff,
and turn away from me
let it be Your love . . .
mercy and grace they see!

Rules of Engagement ~

Beware my Christian friend,
Satan is after you . . .
putting on the Armor of God
is the first thing you must do.

Satan’s always a step ahead,
setting up his land mines
his first rule of attack
is to mess with our minds.

He’s waiting in a fox hole,
ready to ambush you
so be sure you’re prepared
with a Scripture or two.

You must be ready,
you’re always in his range
the rules of combat
everyday he will change.

When things are going good,
it will draw his fire out
being in the Word of God
will keep away any doubt.

Beware my Christian friend,
you’re not under friendly fire
for your very soul . . .
is Satan’s one true desire!

Ephesians 6:10-11

be strong in the Lord,

His Soldiers ~

Weary hearts,
anxious minds
come to Me
I’ll make you mine.

Hide Me within,
your heart today
I’ll be with you
I’ll show the way.

Tired soldiers,
fighting strong
trust in Me
I’m never wrong.

I hear your fatigued,
battle cries
I see the tears
in your eyes.

But rest assured,
the fight we will win
the day I come . . .
to put an end to sin!

Just Trust ~

When we are in the dark,
Jesus sends His light
when we are in a battle
He helps us to fight.

When we are weak,
Jesus sends us assurance
when we are tired
He gives us endurance.

When we are alone,
Jesus draws us near
when we are frightened
He takes away our fear.

When we are worried,
Jesus makes us still
when we are unsure
He shows us His will.

When we are struggling,
Jesus gives us power
when we need help
He’s there every hour.

When we are loved,
as much as He loves us
it’s so very easy . . .
in Jesus to just trust!

The Battle ~

Dark and light,
battle within
we fight so hard
to die to sin.

Arrows fall,
hot with fire
only God’s Word
douses the desire.

The tempter lies,
sound so sweet
without the truth
you can feel the heat.

The lion roars,
before he strikes
he’ll do anything
that he so likes.

Satan wants us,
to burn in hell
and so our souls
he’ll try to fell.

Dark and light,
battle within
but, we have Jesus
and we will win!

principalities and powers,
he made a shew of

Fight the Good Fight ~

I fight not against the bait,
that is placed upon the hook
but rather against Satan who want’s
to keep me out of life’s book.

I wrestle not against the helm,
that fights the winds at sea
but rather against the gusts of sin
that takes me far from Thee.

I struggle not against the will,
that is battled with each day
but rather against its raging power
that from God, forces me away.

I resist not against a world,
that can’t see my point of view
but rather against their defiance
of a Man they never knew.

I am up against a universe,
made by God for man’s delight
yet opts to live in the darkness
then to dwell in His saving light.

~~~~~~~~~

1 Timothy 6:12

“Fight the good fight of faith,
lay hold on eternal life,
to which you were also called
and have confessed the good confession
in the presence of many witnesses.”

A Sound Defeat ~

The battle with the enemy
will be easy to beat . . .
if you put your trust in God
He will deliver a sound defeat.

But, first you must go to Him,
and give Him your fight
then He will lead you onward
in His power, with His might.

As your battle continues on,
He’ll be your strength and Rock
protecting your front and back
until the enemy starts to balk.

He will provide for you a refuge,
a fortress and a safe place
He will defend and deliver you
put a hedge around your base.

The battle with the enemy,
will be easier to beat . . .
if you let your Lord and Savior
lead you to a sound defeat!

~~~~~~~~

2 Samuel 22:2-3
King James Version

“And he said, The Lord is my rock,
and my fortress, and my deliverer;
The God of my rock; in him will I trust:
he is my shield, the horn
of my salvation, my high tower,
and my refuge, my saviour;
thou savest me from violence.”
