Afternoon Ponderings~10.18.19

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!

~~~~~~

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.

Spiritual Wickedness ~

Spiritual wickedness,
in high and low places
both in shadow’s dark
and open lit up spaces.

Evilness all around,
scouring the earth
the top of the world
evil’s plotting berth.

Wicked devilish powers,
cruel and ruthless
rulers of destruction
cold and heartless.

Vicious, vile spirits,
enemies of mankind
invisible destroyers
of hearts and minds.

Spiritual wickedness,
satan’s wolf pack . . .
so get on your armor
and be ready to attack!

~~~~~~

Ephesians 6:12-13

“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.

Wherefore take unto you
the whole armour of God,
that ye may be able to
withstand in the evil day,
and having done all, to stand.”

A Reminder ~

Satan is evil,
he’s a deceiver
he is out to get
every believer.

He is a liar,
he is a thief
he only causes
eternal grief.

Satan is devious,
he is ruthless
he wants to render
you for God useless.

He is scheming,
he is cunning
after your soul
he is gunning.

Satan is a slanderer,
he’s a counterfeiter
he wants to make you
in Jesus a quitter.

Satan is evil,
he is an eye blinder
lest you forget . . .
tis why this reminder!

~~~~~~~~

Revelation 12:9

“And the great dragon
was cast out, that old serpent,
called the Devil, and Satan,
which deceiveth the whole world:
he was cast out into the earth,
and his angels were cast out with him.”

The father of Lies ~

Satan is the father of all lies,
he’ll tell us we are no good
he’d even swear on the Bible
the cross is only made of wood.

He’ll tell us we’re worth nothing,
he’ll whisper God can’t be trusted
he’d even swear the on Bible
for our sins we won’t get busted.

He’ll make us to start to doubt,
the truth and reality of God’s Word
he’d even swear on the Bible
we can’t believe what we’ve heard.

He’ll have us question God’s character,
whether He’ll keep His promises
he’d even swear on the Bible
we’re a bunch of doubting Thomas’s.

Satan is the father of all lies,
he is the grand-champion deceiver
he’d even swear on the Bible
but he can’t fool the true believer!

~~~~~~~~~~~~

John 8:44

“Ye are of your father the devil,
and the lusts of your father ye will do.
He was a murderer from the beginning,
and abode not in the truth,
because there is no truth in him.
When he speaketh a lie,
he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar,
and the father of it.”
