Encouragement
Satan is persistent when trying to have his way,
And is pushy when he wants to control your day
With distractions, stumbling blocks and many intrusions
Causing pain, strife, doubt and much confusion.
He is one who doesn’t want to lose,
And won’t take “No” for an answer when you refuse
His offer to work on his behalf
Or becoming a permanent member of his staff.
He does his job, and he does it well,
Trying to ensure that he takes a great number of souls to hell;
But, as Christians, it’s up to us to make him out of a lie,
By assuring that we rebuke and deny
His every effort to confuse us and encourage us to doubt
That God can, will and is able to bring us out.
When he gets up in your face being demanding,
Don’t allow him to shake the ground on which you are standing
Because with God, you have a solid foundation
And an assurance that God can do beyond your expectations.
When Satan pushes you, push him right back
To let him know you won’t just stand there and allow his attack
On your faith, all that you believe in, and what God stands for,
And let him know you won’t take his threats and abuse any more
Because what God has for you is just for you,
And you’re determined to receive it regardless of what he takes you through.
Let him know that his stumbling blocks are only stepping stones to higher ground
Because in Christ, you have found
Strength and power to deny him the victory
And enough assurance that he can’t use your history
To persuade you that nothing has, can or will become of your life
Because of all of your past pain, misery, suffering and strife.
Let him know that you now realize and understand
The purpose and goal of his entire plan,
Which is to deny you of your eternal reward
By making your way dark and hard.
Let him know that he has no power over you
With what he will try to do
To make you feel like you are nothing and have no one
And that you’re unworthy because of the past things you’ve done.
Let Satan know that he no longer controls you
Regardless of the trials he may put you through.
Let him know that you belong to God, and God alone
Regardless of who you’ve been, what you’ve been or where you’ve gone.
Let Satan know that he might as well flee
Because by the power of the Holy Ghost, you have been set free
From the bondage he once held you in,
And you refuse to go back into his world of sin.
