Know That

Not all thy fight is flesh and blood
know that it's spiritual;
you cannot win against this flood
the only way out, is God for sure.

Who may they be? thou tempt to ask
do not be scared, for you shall know;
Heavenly beings, to God they task
tear up your flesh, as do the crows.

Only the Christ, turn this around
protect thy mind, thy soul, thy flesh;
we are too frail to halt this sound
we are too weak, we're in this mess.

Known as the Principalities...
they seek to tear you up whole;
my dear, that's no figure of speech
if they could, drink you from a bowl.

It's different with thy neighbour
whom you are tasked to forgive;
unnatural are "their" troubles
but man you are tasked to reprieve.

It's good to have the Armour of God
but if you don't, fret not;
his Mercy thus entails a lot
prayers to Christ, the battles fought!

So pray to Christ, His Mercies fly
keep you safe, by day and night;
spiritual evil He thus decries
the Lord, I AM, be in His Light!

Amen!

The problem is the hypocrites who preach his name but their actions dont match... for example Donald Trump

well, well, well... let's start by praying for His Protection by day and night, as Momma always says, "cover us, Lord." when we focus on The Lord, we work towards His Kingdom and He grants us His Mercies. just to know, the Bad, the Evil are there, in the background, working against us and all who are His. "for He is with you wherever you are!" And, pray for Deliverance! cheers!
