Bent on Your Destruction
You hear the phrase, "I'm under attack " said a lot in Christian circles and let me say first off that I too am one that says it. So as I was cleaning the pool the other day I asked the Lord about the whole attack thing and I felt that I was to write a poem about the schemes of the enemy. The whole intent of his schemes is for our destruction. This poem however comes across as though the enemy has written it. It was an interesting angle to write from. I hope this speaks to many of you and reminds us all that 2 Cor 10:4 says For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds (KJV)
I search around for good people
To come into their heart,
Because they're good; they're easy prey
And not hard to pick apart.
I watch them do their daily work
And wait for them to speak-
That little bit of ignorance,
It shows me that they're weak.
I plant a seed of bitterness
Or rebellion if they're young.
I start to change the way they think
and put hatred on their tongue.
They start to separate themselves.
Alone they feel relieved.
They won't listen to any good advice.
'Cause now they are deceived.
I make them start to hurt themselves
And start to hurt their friends.
Their faces hard, their hearts like stone,
No room for making amends.
I teach them to wander hopelessly,
Not able to make decisions,
I take away their hope and joy,
I snatch away their visions.
They follow me until they're dead,
Their spirit separate from God.
They follow me though they once were His,
Their lives now so down trod.
I do my best to keep them snared
By an alternate lifestyle.
They think that there's no other way
When they've been with me a while.
The only thing that I can't change
Is I'm bound by God's own words.
There's some who turn their hearts around-
Sheep from His own herds.
The Shepherd leaves the ninety nine
To go and bring in one.
I'm defeated by the Word of God
And Jesus His own son.
I'm not giving up on getting you,
Though your call is for Mount Zion.
I wander about to devour and kill
I'm like a roaring lion.
So when those thoughts come into your mind
Like a powerful seduction,
Remember me the enemy
Who is bent on you destruction!
