Ephesians 6:14-16

Spiritual Indifference ~

Spiritual shortsightedness,
is at a high
for satan has deceived
many an eye.

Eyes that once saw,
the Truth and the Way
now care more about
what others might say.

Spiritual deafness,
is out of control
for satan has mislead
many a soul.

Ears that once heard,
doctrine firm and sound
now follow any convenient
gospel that comes around.

Spiritual indifference,
brings about apathy
and with it there’ll be . . .
many a casualty!

~~~~~~~~

2 Timothy 4:3-4

For the time will come when
they will not endure sound
doctrine; but after their own
lusts shall they heap to themselves
teachers, having itching ears;

And they shall turn away their
ears from the truth, and shall
be turned unto fables.

2 Timothy 4:3-4

Satan And His Clan ~

Today we need to defeat,
satan and his clan
we need to take back
from him our land.

We need to get rid of,
his bag of tricks
we need to treat him to
non-woke politics.

Today we need to win,
satan at his war
we need to let him know
with us he won’t get far.

We need to take back,
in God we trust . . .
we need to make known
he can’t brainwash us.

Today we need to defeat,
satan’s ungodly laws
we need to show him
liberties righteous claws!

Children Of The Day ~

Children of the Day,
living in a dark place
puts on the breastplate
of faith, love and grace.

Making a difference,
wherever they may go
so the way to Jesus
their Light may show.

Children of the Day,
clothed in Christ
to the world’s way
they’re not enticed.

For they are sober,
alert and wise . . .
knowing how the Light
even satan can disguise.

Children of the Day,
know in this age to cope
they must put on daily . . .
their helmet of hope!

But let us, who are of the day,

When The Beast Comes ~

When the beast raises,
at last its ugly head . . .
you’ll either take his mark
of else you’ll be dead.

For without the number,
of six-six-six imbedded
with satan you will be
eternally embedded.

When the beast comes,
on this earth to dwell
they’ll be no escaping
his most bloody hell.

For when the antichrist,
the whole world rules
satan will take out . . .
his most deadly of tools.

They only way to survive,
the coming destruction
is to turn to God now for . . .
your life-saving instructions!

~~~~~~~~

Revelation 13:16-18

And he causeth all, both
small and great, rich and
poor, free and bond, to
receive a mark in their r
ight hand, or in their
foreheads:

And that no man might
buy or sell, save he that
had the mark, or the name
of the beast, or the number
of his name.

Here is wisdom. Let him that
hath understanding count
the number of the beast:
for it is the number of a man;
and his number is
Six hundred threescore and six.

A True Warrior ~

A true warrior,
are those faithful
for they trust God
and are watchful.

They are as obedient,
as a steadfast soldier
they keep a watch out
for an enemy bolder.

A true warrior,
are those vigilant
for they know satan
is a true militant.

They are fighters,
tried and tested
their loyalty to God
is fully invested.

A true warrior,
always wears their armor
for they know the devil . . .
is seeking those to devour!

A Heavenly Extravaganza ~

One day there will be,
a lavish reception . . .

One day there will be,

the lively hope of salvation.

For those believers,
in God’s Divine favor
have found forgiveness
thru Jesus their Savior.

One day there will be,

Lions and Wolves and Sheep ~

Beware of the wolves,
though they may look harmless
at any given moment
their lies they’ll unharness.

For at first they will appear,
just like one of God’s sheep
as with their falsehoods
they lullaby you to sleep.

Beware of the lions,
as the roam all around
at any moment’s notice
they’ll knock you to the ground.

For they are out to devour,
attack and to kill
those who follow and do
what is God’s righteous will.

Beware of the lying wolves
dressed in sheep clothing
beware of the devouring lions
who are constantly roaming!

~~~~~~~~

Matthew 7:15

Beware of false prophets,
which come to you
in sheep’s clothing,
but inwardly they are

Faith That Defends ~

Faith that defends,
is one that destroys
all of satan’s lies
he daily employs.

It’s a faith that stands up,
for God’s absolute truth
for it knows satan spews
only deceit and untruth.

Faith that opposes,
is one that eliminates
all of satan’s falsehoods
he worldly incorporates.

It’s a faith that is strong,
in knowing God’s Word
for it can discern heresy
when ever it’s heard.

Faith that defends,
opposes and rejects . . .
knows satan fiery arrows
the truth can deflect!

Above all, taking the shield of faith,
wherewith ye shall be able to quench

Hello Jesus I need to talk,
I need an ear to hear
how the root of evil
in today’s world I fear.

I need to know from You,
all is in Your control
I need to have Your peace
resting here in my soul.

Hello Jesus I need to ask,
how in this world I’m to cope
when there are so many
who haven’t a drop of hope.

I need to understand,
just what it will take
to help save those
from their eternal fate.

Hello Jesus I need to talk,
I need You to tell me
why in today’s world
so much evil I now see!

Praying Ceaselessly ~

You need to be praying,
without ever stopping
because your enemy

Shopping for more souls,
he can trick and deceive
looking to destroy
how you trust and believe.

You need to hold fast,
for you are at war
and your enemy knows
always where you are.

He see inside your heart,
looks into your mind
to see if there’s doubt
in them for him to find.

You need to be on the alert,
your enemy is always preying
that why you need to be . . .

Be not ignorant my friend,

for satan wants to destroy
everything you believe.

He has designs for you,
he is after your soul
over your every thought
he wants to take control.

Be not naive my friend,
lest you be outwitted
for satan want to see you
to his ways submitted.

He has great plans for you,
your mind he wants to remold
over the eyes of your heart
he wants to place a blindfold.

Be not ignorant my friend,

for satan is known to be . . .
savage and ferocious!

Beware, My Friend, Beware~

There is a battle brewing,
we need to be clear-headed
we must fix our minds on Jesus
so by fear we’re not tormented.

Our adversary is like a lion,
he is looking to devour
our faith and trust in God
by zapping us of our power.

He’s roaming all-around,
he’s as hungry and he is fierce
he is a greedy pursuer
looking for souls he can pierce.

He is filling our minds with lies,
for he is the grand accuser
he is aiming at our hearts
for he is the great seducer.

He is malicious in his pursuit,
he stalks us night and day
he is restless in his hounding
he lets nothing get in his way.

Our purser is the devil himself,
and to him we must be aware . . .
we must be vigilant and sober
so beware, my friend. beware!

Life On The Battlefield ~

Life on the battlefield,
is no easy task . . .
for our daily strength
God we need to ask.

His Word will equip us,
so we can have victory
otherwise our lives
will be full of misery.

For our enemy is evil,
his tactics even worse
they are diabolical
corrupt and perverse.

We’ll need to be ready,
to fight the wickedness
as our enemy is known
for his ruthlessness.

Life in the faithful fight,
is no easy one . . .
but with the power of God
it’s one that will be won!

Evildoers ~

Evildoers are all around,
with haughty eyes they do seek
all those who they believe . . .
are the world’s meek and weak.

But, we who trust in the Lord,
have nothing to really fear
though they our reputations . . .
want to destroy and smear.

Evildoers roam the earth,
with lying tongues they preach
fake reports to the masses
so their discord they can teach.

But, we who have the truth,
know these things God does hate
we follow not what they say . . .
but, we keep to the way straight.

Evildoers with wicked plans,
they do surround us all around
but, we who trust in our Lord
in Him keep our mind’s sound!

~~~~~~~~

Proverbs 6:16-19

These six things doth
the Lord hate:
yea, seven are an
abomination unto him:

A proud look, a lying tongue,
and hands that shed
innocent blood,

An heart that deviseth wicked
imaginations, feet that be swift
in running to mischief,

A false witness that speaketh lies,
and he that soweth
discord among brethren.

Who Is Hindering Your Faith ~

Who is hindering your faith,
who is standing in the way
what is holding you back
why are you running away?

Who is causing you to doubt,
who is robbing you of peace
what has a grip on you
why can’t from it you release?

Who is messing with your trust,
who is making you confused
what has you in a turmoil
why is your mind consumed?

Who is keeping you in fear,
who is behind your dread
what is playing with your beliefs
why is it messing up your head?

Satan is that who,
he’s that what and one . . .
but, if you submit and resist him
from you he will flee and run!

Ye did run well;

With Due Diligence ~

 

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!

Spiritual Ears and Eyes ~

A heart that is aware,
and to satan is wise . . .
is a heart that maintains
spiritual ears and eyes.

For it’s eyes are open,
to the truth in the Word
interprets the devil’s roar
even before it is heard.

A heart that is alert,
and to satan is shrewd . . .
is a heart that keeps
itself daily renewed.

For it’s a heart that knows,
the darkness it must fight
so it can recognize satan
when disguised as the light.

A heart that has both,
spiritual ears and eyes
is a heart that perceives . . .
satan’s guises and lies!

~~~~~~~~

 2 Corinthians 11:13-15

 

For such are false apostles,
deceitful workers, transforming
themselves into the apostles of Christ.

And no marvel; for Satan himself

his ministers also be transformed

whose end shall be according to their works.”

Lord, help me not to have,

rather keep me in the truth

Let not me be carried,

rather keep me following

Lord, help me not to be,
blown by every Gospel wind
rather keep me grounded
to the truth I have within.

Let not me be confused,
by every ingenious lie
rather keep me anchored
in Your Word until I die.

Lord, help me not to have,
my faith rocked or rattled
help me to keep steadfast . . .
so I don’t become baffled!

Ephesians 4:14-15

“That we henceforth be no more children,

may grow up into him in all things,

Risky Business ~

It’s risky business,
thinking God can be mocked
it’s deceiving thinking
His wrath can be stopped.

It’s foolishness to think,
you won’t reap what you sow
it’s pure folly thinking
you sins, God will never know.

It’s ignorant to believe,
God sin will never judge
it’s hypocrisy
from your ways not to budge.

It’s unwise to keep on living,
conformed to this world
it’s arrogant to think
with God you can even quarrel.

It’s risky business,
thinking God you can mock
and on your sinful living . . .
it is time to take stock!

Escaping Satan’s Traps ~

The only way,
satan to escape
is to not get caught
in his sticky tape.

For, he will lure you,
with his tacky lies
so into his snare
you’ll land just like flies.

Once you are caught,
in his gummy muck
you will find from him
it’s hard to get unstuck.

For, he won’t let go,
of his hold on you
for his grip hardens
just like quick drying glue.

The only way,
satan to escape . . .
is in your Bible
to stay in shape!
