The Enemy - Being Honest with self

Fighting with a faceless foe
That is the enemy don't ya know
The bible tells us no weapon formed
Against us shall prosper
And although many of us already know
We are still dealing with that faceless foe

Are we armed with the word of the Lord..
Lifting our shield of faith ..
And raising our sword ..
Which is the word of the Lord
Standing with our feet shod in His peace
Being held up with the belt of truth ..
Our head covered with our salvation in tack
When under the enemy's attack
Or do we let self-righteousness get in the way
It is supposed to be a with the breastplate of protection
Not being used as a weapon of rejection

Do we have his angels ..with us on board
When the enemy sends an attack

Then why do we feel .. we have to lash back
Who do you think is causing this attack ..
We as Christians already know the answers to that
But we still fall under those ... sneaky attacks

If we have no weapon formed against us
That will prosper..
Why do we feel the need to defend
Or encourage that enemy
To be our friend
Or pick up a weapon to use
Which causes us to abuse
Making us no better than them
The bible is very clear
When it says "We All Sin"

Our words they cut like a knife..
Causing.. bitterness, envy and strife

Today
I am listening
To that small voice from within
And
Learning how
Not to let
That enemy win

Patience is a virtue
That is not easy to have
Until you learn how
To use self-control
Over your emotions
That can be so easy
To run out of control

Emotions .. is where
The enemy loves .. to hide
Because it causes .. us to lay
Our mind aside
Then we become an easy prey
For that faceless foe to have his way

Over-comers is what we are
Although we may carry
More than one .. battle scar
When you know who your
Enemy's are
Deception is a wicked thing
She wants to be a queen
Lying is her best friend
We need to never
Allow ourselves to give in to them

When we listen .. instead of speak
The enemy will be the one
To become weak

Today
The Victory is mine
As I read in the book
God's Heart Your Destiny
Heart number 9
Anger will not win
I am learning how to listen
For him .. so he doesn't sneak in

About Me

My photo
LisaMe! is an inspirational writer; Sharing the Word; as God gives it to me. I am willing to go where He leads me; When I was just a little girl; I began to hear about Jesus. I learned wonderful songs of how; He walks with me and talks with me along life's narrow way. And how to Trust and Obey for there is no other way. And a little light that was "mine"; I was supposed to let it shine. As I began to grow up I had many questions in my heart. I loved Jesus there was no question of that. But I never really understood how; He could walk with me and talk with me; or what it meant to truly trust and obey. And I was not sure at all about having a light that would shine. God used candy to help teach me the answers to many of these questions. He became real to me; through the years of seeking Him; Learning how to share Him with others; so they could truly know Him and experience His Love; without pretense. I pray as you read these inspirations you will be blessed.
