At the Threshold of a New Year

I can think of 365 ways I could have strayed within the past 365 days. But the Lord has carried me here to the threshold of a new year And as I look Beyond I could see peace and War. I can see the Gates of Heaven and I can see the devil at my door. Yes the mighty adversary who seeks to destroy, kill and steal. So throw on your holy armor and seek to do God's will. For there's going to be a battle unlike the world has ever seen you thought last year was bad wait until 2017. Oh mama I'm not trying to scare you and brother believe me I'm just trying to prepare you for the time is now to kneel next to the sword you wield and pray for strength for the devil is about to step upon the battlefield.   For he is the great accuser, the soul abuser. He went against God And became a notorious loser. He bullies through shame. Pain is his game. His dice are the wicked Who justify his name. For those who don't care Their souls are fair share, But the word is your sword, And the holy spirit is the armor You bear. So now the playing field is level As you prepare to rumble with the devil, but don't be discouraged from what your battle has disheveled. Because when all is said and done with one move to determine who won. The devil will say "just look at all your past sins" But God will say "just look at my son.." for he gave you 365 ways for each of the 365 days of every year to never give up and to never fear.
