Today
The Lord Opened My Eyes
AND
I Acquired Sight
AND
Knew Of A Truth
That Psalm Three Is True
For I Had Personally Lived It
Through Many Dark Days And Nights!
Consider ...
Consider Also ...
I Remember
Vividly
Sleeping With
And Cuddling A Physical Demon
To My Bosom!
I Remember
Church Members Asking Me
How I Was Dealing With The Evil!
Yup!
The Word Was ... Out There!!
I Remember
Telling All Who Would Listen That:
I Believed In The Living God!
Not A Plaster Saint!
Not A Paper Saint!
That My God Did Not Sleep!
That He Did Not Have Any God-children
Grandchildren
Nor Stepchildren!
That I Said My Prayers!
That I Accepted The Word Of The Lord
Which Said:
Stand Still ... And See Your Salvation!
For I Had Heard
The Spirit Of God Saying That To Me!
I Told Them That The Living God Reminded Me:
To Look ...
Not Towards That Evil One's Faults
But ... Towards His Needs!
AND
To Pray For Those That Dispitefully Use You
And Abuse You
No Matter How They Do It!
I Chose
By Faith
To Give God All The Glory
All The Honor
All The Praise
All My Trust
AND ...
I Prayed Faithfully
AND
I Gave My Back
To That Devil In Man's Skin
AND
In Jesus' Dear Name
- Under The Protection Of The Holy Angels -
I Slept The Sleep Of The Just!
I Did Not In My Heart
Know Or Cherish
Physical Fear!
In My Mind
I Recognized
AND
Then Spoke About The Fact That
If God Through Jesus Christ Did Not Love Me
If I Was Not One Of His Favorite Children
Satan - Through His Willing Operative -
Would Not Have Been Rabidly Opposing Me
Seeking To Physically Destroy Me!
A Song Was In My Heart
For
My God Was
AND
Is To Me
Ever Available!
I Am His Sheep
AND
I Am By Him
Daily
With Good Things Fed!
It Takes Two To War
AND
My Side Of The War
My Army
Was Headed By King Jesus
For
The Enemy Was Raging Like A Flood
And I Knew I Battled Not With Flesh And Blood!
Evil Agilely Cursed My Head
But ... Jesus!
Amen?
AMEN!
Don't Get Me Wrong!
There Were Days
When I Totally Forgot Whose Child I Am
AND
Behaved In Abominable Fashion
But
There Were Many More Days
That I Surrendered My Soul To God
- Jesus Christ Be Praised -
AND
My Little Light Shone!
My Victory Was By Jesus!
Demons May Rage At Us
But
They Cower At The Name Of Jesus Christ!
So
Take Courage, Dear Brethren:
Hope Thou In God
For He Is Ever Faithful!
Hope Thou In God
For He Is The Blessed Friend!
Hope Thou In God!
The God Of All Creation
For
He Is The Open Door
And
His Promises Are Sure!
Sin Is The Curse
And
Jesus Christ The Cure
Hope, Dear Brethren
In God!
In God!
I Did!
I Do!
AND
I Am Winning
For
The Lover Of My Soul
Is
God's Only Begotten
Sacrificed-for-Me Dear Son
Who Has A Peaceful Pasture
For The Children Of The Faith
Waiting
On The Distant Shore!
Let No One Steal Your Hope Tree!
