Notes About The Poem
The world is filled with deception and spiritual warfare, we have to
know the tactics of the enemy to defeat him and, not be fearful of him.
Violent Faith
Violent Faith
There is nothing more pleasing to God the Father
then for Him to see His precious children press in,
to take His Word just as it is written
and over the devil and his companions they will triumph and win.
The children of God these days, have “Violent Faith” it seems
courageous and fearless knowing the Lord is on our side,
with the truth of God’s Word in our heart we are to recover the spoils from the devil and
to his face tell him we know that to us he has lied.
“For, we service the Almighty God the precious
King of Kings and Lord of Lords is He,
the One Who holds the universe in one hand
with still enough room to hold you and me.
Violent Faith – what about Noah who heard the voice of God tell him
build an ark here in the middle of this dry land,
so working and toiling he got it all done
amidst the scoffers of the day he chose to take a bold stand.
Then came the two of the twelve spies, Joshua and Caleb
who proved to have known the voice of their God,
they said, “Giants in the land, who cares, isn’t Jehovah Nissi on our side”?
And they alone wanted to go and possess the promised sod.
Violent Faith – again like Joshua who said,
“As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord”,
or the shepherd boy, David, who trusted his God for the victory over Goliath
more than Saul’s armor and his sword.
Oh, for us to get a clear picture set in our mind
it’s so much fun to spoil the enemy’s despicable plan,
to tear down, uproot, and put him under foot where he belongs
and never allow him condemningly to stand.
Violent Faith – yes it is so badly needed
in these desperate and troubled times,
because it is true our Savior the Lord Jesus is coming soon
for we can see now so many signs.
And when He comes He says,
“Will I find faith on the earth”, and I say, “Oh, Lord count me in on this”,
for I believe that Violent Faith is the only way to survive
because the rapture we surely don’t want to miss.
