SPIRITUAL WARFARE
by Barry Goode

Dear Sir, I am an Evangelist from Australia.  I felt led of the Lord to write a poem on spiritual warfare based on Ephesians 6.  It was the hardest poem to complete, the devil fought me all the way - but the Lord gave me the victory.    If you wish to use it and pass it on to others to use, please do so.  I think it would make an effective poster.  What do you think?      

Sincerely, Barry Goode. 

             Spiritual Warfare

                              Ephesians: 6:10 - 18

 

            I place the belt of truth around my waist,        (Isaiah 11:5)

            Exposing all the devils schemes and lies.          (2Cor. 2:11)

                       Deception cannot blind me;                   (2Cor. 4:4 )

                      Gods holy word reminds me                  ( John 17:17)

            The truth of God will conquer and suffice.     

 

 

          The Breastplate of God's righteousness I don.    (Isa. 59:17)

                  I stand in His authority and might.              (Titus 2:15)

                    Dead works are vain and vile,                    (Heb. 6:1)

                       And on their own defile,                         (Titus. 3:5)

              In Christ alone am I made just and right.         (Rom. 8:33-34)

 

 

             The Gospel shoes of peace I now put on,         (Isa. 53:5)

           Paid for by His wounds and blood and love:       (Col. 1:20)

                      To spread the gospel news,                      (Isa. 52:7)

                         And fill the empty Pews,                       (Mt. 24:14)

                And populate the mansions up above.                                         

 

  

                    Faith in Jesus is the shield I raise.             (Psalm 18:30)

                 His promises deflect each fiery dart.            (Rom. 4:20)  

                          Shielding those who trust,                   (Psalm 18:3

                               Believing is a must,                         (John. 20:27)

             The Word of faith will garrison my heart.        (Jas 5:15)                

 

 

                    My Helmet of salvation is in place            (1 Thess. 5:8 )

                I’m shielded from deceptions subtle kiss.     (Isa. 59:17                                          

                         When the devil spins his lies,               (John 8:44

                             I see through his disguise                 (2Cor. 2:11}

           I resist you satan, in JESUS name, dismiss!      (James 4:7)

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 

             

 

                I take the Spirit’s double-edged sword.          (Rev. 1:16)

                   I wield it till I hear the victory bell.

                   With Word that's sharp and sure,               (Heb. 4:12)

                       I smite and wound and gore,             

            And with my God I storm the gates of hell.      (Mat. 16:18)
