You Do Believe

You believe it’s all innocent, the programs that infiltrate your mind. it builds from age to age, and it’s nothing new. there is nothing new, under the sun. You believe the devil does not exist, likewise God, but you do believe in good and evil. You know it exists! You’re tempted to eye ghost and goblin surprise. You let in the flood, don’t even repair the dike. You play with cards and ouija boards. You pretend that there is no spirit behind the deck, the intent. You admire gems, not for God’s masterpiece, instead for a power. You’re holding an idol. Wear it - fine, but don’t play with fire. The burn is building as you are blending spells. You think it is innocent! Open up the book that tells the truth. Why be afraid of it? Don’t lie and say I don’t understand it. I bet you very well understand the commandments. What is lacking is mercy and grace - you’ve hidden those under fairytales. The devil is snickering. When he gets found out he has a mad temper - he doesn’t want you to believe in anything but your self, to thank your self importance, forget everyone who has ever been there for you. he wants you mean and bitter, tender to the bone, burnt to a crisp. Let God have the final word, on that, then you won’t lose your soul. 10/9/2022

The devil kills, steals, destroys, roams around looking for who he can devour.

Wow! Cannot be said plainer nor more succinct. And as one gets further along the path, the temptations are far more subtle~ often seeming both good. No man nor women can battle the devil alone...give it always to God, found in his word!

Studying the divided kingdom in the O.T. Shows how things start small then are huge. God bless you, Joe!
