Satan’s Tool Of Fear ~

There is a harmful tool,
satan loves to use . . .
for our minds he wants
to daze and confuse.

It plants it ugly seeds,
of unbelief and doubt
so God’s plans for us
we cannot figure out.

He daily uses this tool,
on everyone of us . . .
for in God he doesn’t want
for us to put our trust.

It causes bewilderment,
and muddles up the mind
so God’s ways are harder
for us to go out and find.

He wants us to be anxious,
to load us down with care
so that we will think
Jesus our worries won’t bear.

This tool is called fear,
it’s satan’s favorite one
but if we submit to God
the devil will flee and run!

~~~~~~~~

James 4:7

Submit yourselves
therefore to God.
Resist the devil,
and he will flee from you.

Satan Is At Work Today ~

I can see satan,
today is at work . . .
offering the unsaved
evil, worldly perks.

For he is the great,
deceiver and liar
who wants to pull the lost
into his pit of fire.

I can see satan,
today is full of power
for our faith and trust
he continues to devour.

For he is the master,
of light in disguise
who seeks God’s saints
spiritual fall and demise.

I can see satan,
is alive and well
for in too many souls . . .
today he does dwell!

~~~~~~~~

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.

1 Peter 5:8

Be sober, be vigilant; because
your adversary the devil,

The Deceitful Heart ~

The deceitful heart,
thinks it is good
cannot relate . . .
to this falsehood.

For at its core,
wickedness lies
keeping it from
becoming wise.

The deceitful heart,
thinks it is greater
then the one . . .
who is its creator.

For it tells itself,
it knows better
by believing in
its own chatter.

The deceitful heart,
won’t give Jesus the reins
for pure evilness
runs through its veins!

~~~~~~~~

Jeremiah 17:9-10

The heart is deceitful
above all things,
and desperately wicked:
who can know it?

I the Lord search the heart,
I try the reins, even to give
every man according to his
ways, and according to the
fruit of his doings.

Stir the souls Lord,

will be left behind!

If my people, which are called

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.

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

receive a mark in their r

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.

Lions and Wolves and Sheep ~

Beware of the wolves,

their lies they’ll unharness.

Beware of the lions,

For they are out to devour,

Beware of the lying wolves

beware of the devouring lions
who are constantly roaming!

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!

For it’s a heart that knows,
