Wrestling with Satan’s Lie – v2

Trying to make sense of our acquiescence,
wrestling with the way to speak truth, to fight,
to describe that lie of Satan, that we are unworthy,
that we are not who the Bible says we are and how
the lies dwells within us, how it wicks our energy,
our spirit, how the lie seeps into our spirits, our souls,
whispering that we aren't really forgiven,
that we are outside of God's love
when Satan’s lie isn't true…
 
Too long have we wandered, have we pondered,
have we lingered in stagnant waters, in filth,
washing ourselves with the bile, the stink,
of the lies of Satan, the Enemy, how have we given
away our legacy, God’s power, to the lies of Satan,
the singular lie that we are dirty, corrupt, unworthy,
when we have been washed clean, redeemed,
when we have been made righteous,
by the blood of the risen Christ…
 
Wrestling with Satan’s lie, his deceit,
when he has already been vanquished, defeated,
giving the myth of condemnation power,
when it has been overcome, when it is no more,
through the blood of Jesus Christ,
the work he finished, it was finished,
at the garden, as the Servant,
in His life, in His ministry,
at the cross Christ climbed for us…
