The Devil's Impotent
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

     The Devil's Impotent

The devil’s out to rob and kill

He’ll cheat whom God will save

Deceive them from His perfect will

And lead them to the grave

 

He’s impotent in all but lies

Deceit’s his only course

No truth’s behind his sweet disguise

No strength parades his force

 

Misery reigns in Satan’s hoards

Since Christ was seen to die

Knowing in hell there’s no rewards

However great they lie

 

Too late, The Truth they’ve come to see

Too late, true wisdom’s dawn

They know Christ’s blood will set us free

And through one’s faith reborn

 

Though lust they plant their wicked seed

Through doubt they seep inside

Festooned with Satan’s luscious weed

Not few deceived, have died

 

Not few are found within his bed

Not few profess God’s light

Not always are our shepherd’s led

Not always are they right

 

Yet heed authority’s high command

Consider God’s elite

Let conscience rule and understand

Man’s reign is short and sweet

 

Deceit, with Satan’s throne will fall

Liars will end in jail

But those found true at Jesus’ call

Will stand and never fail…..

About the Poet
I never wrote a word of poetry in my life. Till the day Jesus took my hand and touched my soul.....I invite your response. However most poems are not about me! Very few are. But the feed-back good, bad or indifferent is always desired. Not meant to offend, but I write about many things in many a guise. Of life, death, lost, found, saved, backsliders, new comers, repenting souls, doubting hearts, heathens, Christians, fire, water, Satan's daughter, wallowing in sin, saved, made sound walking in Light, graceful righteous. Suffering, ecstatic, bored, excited, sad, delighted, Sick, well, lame, able, living, dying, etc. etc. etc. Writing about anything, everything and everyone as the spirit leads. All meant to reveal, waken, revive, encourage, shame, help. Gladden, pick up, exalt, portrait, liberate. Again over 99% of my work is not about me. Although at times I write as though I were or am. Speaking e.g. in the first person. This is quite common even in the bible itself. Prophets speak of themselves, then God speaks, again the prophet, then God......Quite often it's difficult to distinguish whom it is that at any given time is speaking or narrating.
