Tag Archives: Be Sober ~ Be Alert ~ Be Ready
I am woken,
I am enlightened
by the world’s views
I am not frightened
I am alert,
to satan’s lies . . .
I know how he is
the master of disguise.
I am aware,
I am educated
by the world’s ways
I am not captivated.
I am sober,
I see what I’m up against
I know my freedoms
satan wants to repress.
I am cognizant,
I am more than woke
I can see right through . . .
satan’s mirrors and smoke!
~~~~~~~~
2 Corinthians 11:14-15
And no marvel; for Satan
himself is transformed
into an angel of light.
Therefore it is no great thing
if his ministers also be
transformed as the ministers
of righteousness; whose end
shall be according to their works.

Trying times follow,
times of sweet relief
they come to destroy
our trust and belief.
For satan knows so well,
when we are at rest . . .
it’s the opportune time
to launch his fiery tests.
Tying times follow,
times of peacefulness
they come to disrupt
in God our faithfulness.
For satan understands,
when we are tranquil
it’s his ideal time
our faith to mangle.
Trying times follow,
times of blissfulness
but we who remain sober
do so with steadfastness!
~~~~~~~~~~
1 Peter 5:8-9
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.

The time is impending,
satan is working overtime
we need to be ready . . .
for Jesus could come anytime.
We need to be aware,
of the ticking of the clock
for the devil’s out prowling
to devour up His flock.
The time is approaching,
each day it’s getting clearer
the awaited return of Christ
is getting so much nearer.
We need to be prepared,
as the hours roll on by
for in a second we may see
the twinkling in our eye.
The time is getting short,
each day we’re getting closer
to when Jesus comes again
and we must remain sober!
~~~~~~~~~~
Romans 13:11
And that, knowing the time,
that now it is high time
to awake out of sleep:
for now is our salvation
nearer than when we believed.

Guarding your heart,
is a daily must . . .
and the Holy Spirit
you’ll need to trust.
For He’ll alert you to,
satan’s earthly snares
so to his tipsy bait
you will be aware.
Preparing your heart,
is a daily thing . . .
for you never know
the cares it’ll bring.
For a heart ready,
is a warrior sober
and to satan’s lures
it will not trip over.
Guarding your heart,
is a daily to do . . .
for it may be the day
Jesus comes for you!
~~~~~~~
Luke 21:34
And take heed to yourselves,
lest at any time your hearts
be overcharged with surfeiting,
and drunkenness, and cares of
this life, and so that day
come upon you unawares.

The devil knows,
just when to come around
he knows what to do
to shoot your faith down.
So he watches for signs,
of defeat and frustration
then fires his lies at you
to increase your vexation.
The devil knows,
your mind’s a minefield
he knows it’s his prime
spiritual battlefield.
So he looks for signals,
of apathy and weariness
then brings in his big guns
of despair and hopelessness.
The devil knows,
when the time is right
so be armed and ready . . .
to stand up and fight!
~~~~~~~~~~
Ephesians 6:11-12
Put on the whole armour of God,
that ye may be able to stand
against the wiles of the devil.
For we wrestle not against flesh
and blood, but against principalities,
against powers, against the rulers
of the darkness of this world,
against spiritual wickedness in high places.

With due diligence,
we must stay alert
so that satan’s darts
we can safely avert.
For he is the master,
of many disguises
obscuring the truth
is his evil enterprise.
We must keep sober,
we must stay aware
so into satan’s traps
we won’t be snared.
For he is out to kill,
devour and destroy
anyone who doesn’t fall
for the lures he employs.
With due consideration,
we must be forever watchful
for satan distorts the light . . .
and we must remain careful!
~~~~~~
Ephesians 6:16
Above all, taking the shield of faith,
wherewith ye shall be able to quench
all the fiery darts of the wicked.
1 Peter 5:8
Be sober, be vigilant;
because your adversary the devil,
as a roaring lion, walketh about,
seeking whom he may devour:
2 Corinthians 11:14
And no marvel; for Satan himself
is transformed into an angel of light.

Now more than ever,
we need to be watchful
we need to stick to . . .
the truths in the Gospel.
For the time is nearing,
when all we will hear
are satan and his lies
shouted in our ears.
Now more than ever,
we need to be strong
we need to discern
right from wrong.
For now is the time,
for us to make a choice
to listen to the world’s
or the Holy Spirit’s voice.
Now more than ever,
the time is getting brief . . .
for in the night Jesus . . .
will come like a thief!

Tonight I want to warn you,
about the devil’s tricks . . .
and some of theย masked ways
he loves to get his kicks.
He has a bag of treats,
filled with plenty of sweets
he uses them to temptย us
as he roams on our streets.
Inside his goodie bag,
are perversions of all kinds
someย will warp our souls
othersย with deprave our minds.
The devil is pretty sneaky,
his treats are hisย disguises
he offers them withย a smile
so we’ll believe in all his lies.
He is bold and he isย daring,
on any door he will knock
looking to deceiveย all he can
as heย goes around the block.
So tonight I am warning you,
be sober, vigilant and alert . . .
for the devil he will devour you
and you’ll end up being his dessert!

Lord, this year help me,
to walk watchfully . . .
let my every footstep
be made cautiously.
Let me choose the path,
of the least resistance
from the foolish way
let me keep my distance.
Let me make the most,
of each day before me
help me toย takeย time
to spend only with Thee.
Let me be ever watchful,
of Satan’s wickedย tricks
so into His evil snares
I’ll not fall or trip.
Lord, this year help me,
to wait and to be still
untilย Iย understand . . .
what is Your perfect will!
~~~~~~~
Ephesians 5:15-17
“See then that ye walk circumspectly,
not as fools, but as wise,
Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
Wherefore be ye not unwise,
but understanding what the will of the Lord is.”
