Spiritual Warefare

[Godbless]

I had a battle fierce today,
Within my place of prayer;
I went to meet and talk with God,
But I found Satan there,
He whispered, "You can’t really pray,
You lost out long ago,
You might say words while on your knees,
But you can’t pray you know."
So then I pulled my helmet down,
Way down upon my ears,
And found it helped to still his voice,
And helped allay my fears.
I checked my other armour o’er,
My feet in peace were shod;
My loins with truth were girded round,
My sword the Word of God.
My righteous breastplate still was on,
My heart’s love to protect,
My shield of faith was all intact,
His fire darts to defleet.
My courage mounted up afreash,
I gripped anew my sword,
"O Satan, get behind" I cried,
"Oh Glory! Praise the Lord!"
Again his darts came thick and fast,
Faith quenched and put them out;
And while he raised a new attach,
I raised a victory shout.
I called on God in Jesus’ name,
I pled the precious blood,
While Satan sneaked away in shame,
I met and talked with God.

Hi Godbless,

Thanks for sharing your poem.

It seems quite pertinent within our Spiritual Warefare which is almost daily!

That is quality poetry, Godbless! I just love how you intertwined scripture with rhymes to tell a story! Do you have the slightest idea what a gift that is? I myself don't know the first thing about writing poetry, but I am quite good at writing itself. If you could teach me the fundamentals of writing poems, I would be very grateful as it would enrich my own writing experience. Please pm me with advice, and when you come up with another great poem, please let us know!

I like the imagery this creates. It reminds me of a painting called:
Michael and the Dragon. Michael holding his shield and sword, about
to cut off the dragons head. God bless you.
