Because Satan is a Charmer (we need God's Armour)

it comes in a way that seems right to us, but leads to death-Prov.14:12There is a way that seems right to a man,but its end is the way of death. Because, without knowledge of the Truthwe are prone to believe logic's lie... Matt.22:9Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. The knowledge of the power of God is the true believer's comfort and peace in these troubled times!Hallelujah! but...this is not a sit-back-and-do-nothing-warfare,it's a watching-God-work as 'we do all we can to stand' warfare...(see Eph. 6:10-20 below) Because the wars of faith are fought on battlegrounds withinThe Armor of the Lord is for the man beneath our skinTo guard the heart and mind against the liar’s insurgenceWhose mission is to blind us to sin’s dire consequenceTherefore we need God’s armor in a land where evil smilesSo that we may be able to withstand the devil’s wiles Because rulers of darkness, disguised as angels of lightAre both cunning and heartless, we must be equipped to fightWithout the belt of truth and the breastplate of righteousnessWe are like open prey to he who breeds ungodlinessTherefore, we need God’s armor to protect thought’s open streetWhere Satan is a charmer and a master of deceit Pity all whose feet are not shod with the gospel of peaceWho have no shield of faith in God to quench bold wickednessNo helmet of salvation to enrich hope undeterredAnd no sword of the spirit which is God’s eternal WordOh, pity all who live without God’s armor to secureDefenseless against darts of doubt, or glamour’s lethal lure Today, before we take another step, oh pray we pauseAnd do a thorough armor-check with prayerful care becauseWe wrestle not with flesh and blood, but evil’s ruthless broodWho are the enemy of God, truthless, devoid of goodBut, with the name of Jesus and the power of His mightGod’s grace equips and frees us from the fear of death/man, to fight © Janet Martin Eph.6:10-20 The Whole Armor of God 10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the []wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of []the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints— 19 and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
