Don't Fall Prey... Guard Your heart!

Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life. Proverbs 4:23 (NLT) So true. Had Cain listened to this advice from God, he wouldn't have allowed the enemy to gain entrance into his heart and mind . . . Think About It! Don’t Fall for the Tricks of the Father of Lies! Contention is his intention It’s time you woke up to the game Jesus died for our sins Repent and move beyond your shame. Wake up sleeper! It’s time you answer the call We may live in the land of lunacy But that is due to the fall. God made a way out of CrazyVille He sent his one and only son We all have a mandate to fulfill And its high time that we have begun Get out your Holy Bible, read it for real Accept Him as your LORD and Savior Ask the Holy Spirit to come along side To help you walk without waiver. Begin each day with thanks Reflecting on all that is good and pure and true And be forever grateful that God elected To love, adore and adopt the likes of me and you! Train up in the ways of warfare Get fully dressed each and every day And before you step on the battlefield Make sure you take the time to pray Then when things begin to unfold around you You yourself will not spiral Rather you’ll sound out the call For a multitude of prayers to go viral You will soon see beyond the immediate situation Easily recognizing the source of calamity You’ll be able to laugh in the face of it all Thankful to Christ for the truth that you are free And you will simply say . . . Oh whisper of contention I know full well your desire Don't you know I see you Throwing wood on my fire? I see through the smoke My fight is not against mortal man I know you use those still bound as pawns Every moment and chance you can Listen closely Satan, My eyes are crystal clear and as for my ears Just know they're amped to hear! Be warned, I got fully dressed this morning I sang praises, put in petitions and prayers Strapped on my breastplate of righteousness Put the helmet of salvation upon my head of hair. You may have conned me more than once Back in the day when I was a mere youth But presently you dirty dog devil I'm protected by wearing the belt of truth! Your fiery arrows have no effect today For my shied of faith is raised up high I'll walk shod in the shoes of the gospel of peace Until that fateful day on earth when I die! Until then, you'll see me coming boldly into the darkness The Sword of the spirit held firmly in my hand A mighty warrior in the army of Christ Be assured I will daily do all I can to stand! ©Wendy Glidden Lincoln Wendy Glidden- Lincoln 2.10.2021
