   The Tempter's Demise (2).....

Who seeks Heaven through Christ God’s Son?

Who in The Truth walk sure?

Who seek The Father’s will is done

Will Satan’s ploys endure

 

The Lamb of God was tempted too

Yet scripture stood Him by

Today He guides the chosen few

Who live to live on high

 

Will live beyond temptations cries

Above the devils’ screams

Will live when all about him dies

Beyond one’s wildest dreams

 

Savouring life as Heaven planned

Basking in Jesus’ light

Walking in love The Promised Land

In royal robes of white

 

But first to flee the jaws of hell

Man’s selfish flesh must die

Through drinking from Salvation’s Well

By grace of Christ on high

 

The strength of God is ours to call

When Christ is Lord and King

When at His feet we humbly fall

And to His glory sing

 

Temptation loses fast its hold

Hell’s snares of steel corrode

When on our heads life’s crown of gold

Is from The Lord bestowed

 

Such strength is in God’s mighty Word

Such clout’s unleashed through prayer

Such freedom when Salvation’s heard

Christ Jesus died to share…..P.T.O…..

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.
