As Christians we fight an invisible war
Battles fought daily with ambushes galore
The enemy is ruthless, the devil not seen
He places his demons with intent that’s so keen
I feel it around me, I am not unaware
These forces are evil and attack without care
He’s behind every corner so don’t be surprised
He knows what you like and suitably disguised
Lured in by temptation, you fall for his trick
How can something this good make you feel so sick
Remember we’re human with blemishes and flaws
It’s our imperfect nature that resists moral laws
As believers in Christ with passionate love
We’ve surrendered our souls to our Father above
With Bible in hand I prayerfully start
I’m reading God’s Word with a wide open heart
So what can we do, is there a fix
Let’s go to Ephesians, it’s in chapter six
In verse ten through eighteen, the answer is there
It’s full of instructions so read it with care
It’s hear I’m reminded God has all the power
And what needs to be done so Satan will cower
Be strengthened by the Lord and dress in His armor
This is your protection from the dark evil charmer
Each piece has it’s purpose so act now in haste
Start with the Truth as a belt around your waist
It’s righteousness next that we need for the test
So make it the breastplate that covers the chest
The Gospel of Peace, that we need too
Sandaled with readiness for each foot there’s a shoe
Your faith is important and acts as a shield
Extinguishing flaming arrows to which we’ll not yield
It’s the gift of salvation why Jesus was dead
Never forget this, let it helmet your head
The weapon of choice is the sword of the Spirit
This is speaking God’s words so evil can hear it
Last but not least at all times do pray
Stay alert with perseverance so to conquer each day
God’s made it real clear these truths we are told
Stay fixed on these verses, be courageous and bold
The end is foreseen, it’s written in the stars
The Almighty declares that victory is ours!!!!
All for His Glory
