The Real Deal

The old pastor started hollerin about fighting the devil. Fight him with Jesus, and never on his level. Yeah, he said that old serpent has got more weapons to use against you. But the one weapon that can stop him flat is Jesus, that’s why we repent the things we do. That old devil’s a ridin high right now, that’s why we must stay in Gods’ word. He’s after backsliders right now in case you ain’t heard. The look I got from that old preacher sent a chill down my back. That old guy must have been reading my mail cause I sure have been getting a little slack. Ain’t that I was doing anything bad, just ain’t been doing all I should. You know living the best way I could. We’ve all got to put on the Armor of The Lord, the old preacher said. He looked at me, not saying a word just shook his head. He said we’re in a spiritual warfare and the devils fighting tooth and nail. And if you let him get his hooks in yah, son you’re on a jet plane to hell. Everyday people are trying to change Gods’ word to fit their own needs. Some are saying all you need to get to heaven is doing good deeds. Wrong that might knock some of the weeds off the road but you’ll fall short of getting there. The worst part when you even show them they are wrong, it’s like they don’t even care. Lots of folks don’t believe in heaven or that there is a hell. I just don’t want to take that chance and for sure this soul is not for sale. Jesus bought my soul a long time ago with the blood He shed on cavalry hill. That’s why I’m sticking with Jesus, the 100% real deal. I Pray You Do Too.
