Do not be ...

Ephesians 5:6-8 

Live in the Light

Let nobody deceive you with empty words, for because of these things God’s wrath comes on the  sons of disobedience. Therefore do not be partakers with them, for you were at one time darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of the light—

 

Do not be ...

 

Don’t be passive our battle-cry ... stand strong in the Lord.

Shine as a light in darkness ... for you’re seen by all man.

Evil is the opposite ... he wants you to be passive.

He wants your mind, will and abilities ... sealed in a can.

 

Satan wants to take you over ... your body and your soul

and direct it in his way ... on the path of degradation.

Don’t underestimate his power ... for he knew flesh long before

you were born into this age ... and he knows that foundation.

 

Deception unlatches the gate ... for evil spirits to come in.

Passivity without question ... then provides a “comfy” place to stay.

When they feel at home ... and they decorate to their liking

the place that you offered then ... where they now live and play.

 

Truth will expose deception ... and only Truth can set you free.

The will to desire to be different ... He will provide freely.

He’ll help you focus on the One ... Who really can deliver

from the dilemma you are in ... for He loves you dearly.

 

Super natural power ... can have a different source.

It is crucial in this matter ... to distinguish origin.

What is from God and what is not ... is a critical factor

from the smallest to the greatest ... it’s important to know the scene.

 

If one has not died to emotional life ... and is still driven by feeling

through search for sensational events ... one may easily get duped.

Particularly when susceptible ... to trickery in supernatural matters

despair and stress may rule ... when life’s problems are passing through.

 

The super natural from God ... will engage our mind through spirit

through the Holy Spirit ... He will engage sanctification.

So then one is free to exercise ... the conscience and His purpose

and distinguish good from evil ... without hindrance or inhibition.
