The Distraction

The adversary lifts himself up in the nation,
But his doctrine is false; and has no foundation.
He claims there's no Satan, no devil am I,
Then mimics and mocks, he's the father of lies!
He targets the righteous, the weak and the youth,
He starts with regret and distracts from the truth.
He exploits our weakness and doesn't relent,
Lest we  pull away and even repent.
He's there; just look at fake priests who OPPRESS!
Mixing lies with the truth to subtly fi n e s se.
He can lull you to sleep or attack you head on,
Be very discreet or coerce you  along.
From beHind the schemes can cause you FULL sway,
He'll degrade your esteem or flatter away.
With cunning deceit he seeks to win,
Your soul and your choice through tactics in sin.
His efforts are futile and rendered inept,
Following the Savior and commandments are kept.
Through the Atonement of Christ there is a NEW start,
Repent and always have a prayer in our heart.
Pick up and put on the WHOLE ARMOR of God,
Then hearken and hold to the iron rod!

Ephesians 6;10-18 is the armor. The " iron rod" is the word of God.

Hi sparrowsong! yes Esdras Eagle in the Apocrypha, Ezekiel 37.....Malachai,and much more!. When we pull away from the Lord, He removes His influence, and we are left to ourselves! Selfishness has started the spiral down, destruction comes from lack of charity in the hearts of the people. Repentance is the only way back. It is with deep sorrow and sadness that I watch our nation crumble! All the best!
Thank you Hj and sparrowsong for your support!

Thank you my brother!
When the speech of your president has been banned by some rotten rogue social media, and attacked by so-called "main stream" media, (nothing surprises if he were in China!), this shows how powerful the deep state is. Only good thing I know your president has a high spirit.
Yes Yiyan our MSM has the whole world duped and I think it was prophesied that Satan would deceive the whole world! Coincidence ? I think not! Thank You!
Thank you Cherie! I'll take great anytime! I'm holding on! all the best !..........Jim
Jim wise words beautifully woven and I wholeheartedly agree with.
We all seek clarity sometimes in our lives we live and lead and your engaging and uplifting poem teaches one and all to never lose sight and retain hope for a new beginning, a baptism perhaps and shy away from all falsities and temptations offered.
Five stars and pinned and thank you for sharing your elegant message poem Jim.
Jim I'm trying repeatedly to give five deserving stars and It's like a day out!!
