Warfare

You don’t fight against flesh and blood,
But against powers of hell;
Soldier of Christ, you must strike,
As God did when Satan fell.

Think of yourself as a warrior.
Put on your armor each day;
Speak the Word of God -
Your sword for demons to slay.

Satan wants to steal your peace.
Therefore, guard your heart;
It’s crucial to wear your breastplate.
His power can rip you apart.

Be aware of his number one goal.
He aims at your mind;
Destructive thoughts make a man go down -
Don’t leave your helmet behind.

Satan attacks your weakness.
He’ll find ways to make you sin;
But help comes from the Holy Spirit.
He is your faithful friend.

Never start your day unarmed.
Be alert, and take your position;
Endure to the end of war against darkness,
Evil forces, and opposition.
