Lord, grant me Peace

Lord, grant me peace,
power in this moment,
let Your faith protect me,
in my body, in my spirit…
 
Defeat every attack,
of the Enemy, of Satan,
do not let me be devoured,
today, in this season…
 
Lord, grant me peace,
let me walk more boldly,
bury Your love in my heart,
speak through me, oh Spirit…

Peace from God – v2

The peace we carry,
joy deep within us
is not from the world
our peace comes from God…
 
Peace from God,
more than everlasting,
informing every steps,
as we journey right now…
 
The peace within us,
life-sustaining, living,
alive within our spirits,
guiding every step…
 
Peace from God
defines us on the journey
gifting us to Love,
to walk in God’s Spirit
to share a life above…

Bile rising – v2

I was facing his demons,
his body tormented,
twisted in fear, in rage,
moving, out of his control…
 
Bile rising, climbing,
from the depths within him,
not wanting to give oxygen,
to ignite his evil, his fire…
 
Sensing the demons,
his body twisted, bending,
caught in the rhythm, cadence,
a dance of his Master…
 
Bile rising, fomenting,
from the pit, from Satan,
demon-possessed, spewing,
Evil, a lie word-salad…

In the Presence of Evil – v2

Knowing without question,
this was an attack of Satan,
a man possessed by demons,
his body shaking, words spewing out…
 
In the presence of Evil,
aware of my surroundings,
yet a bit naked, exposed, his bile
singeing my flesh…
 
His face twisted, distorted,
his whole presence created,
fighting his demons, tormented,
but giving them sway…
 
Only prayer, a hedge of protection.
guarding me from within, without,
against the attack of Evil,
the lies that he spoke…
 
Out in the open, exposed,
chains he carried, pulling his body,
outside the cave, the walls,
the prison of his body…
 
In the presence of Evil,
aware of my surroundings, exits,
yet a bit naked, exposed, for his bile,
his flaming arrows of Satan…

Your words a prayer – v2

Your words are a prayer,
a cloak of protection,
surrounding me with a hedge,
against evil, this battle…
 
I was exposed in the world,
to the bile of his evil,
his words of death,
groaned from his lips…
 
I had forgotten to pray,
for God’s hedge of protection,
but thankfully You cloaked me,
in God’s mercy, His care…
 
I was saved from the spewing,
his staccato of evil, his lies,
by Your words of protection,
by Your breath-prayer…

In guttural utterances – v2

A banter, a blather,
spewing lies, growls,
a Demon before me
trying to avert my eyes…
 
Possessed by Demons,
chained outside his cave,
taunting, jeering,
seeking my response…
 
Speaking in rhythm, in rhymes,
in grunts, guttural utterances,
a man possessed, dancing,
by the rope that held him…
 
Possessed, seeking, trying,
to draw me into the fight,
unprotected by armor,
not letting my guard down…
 
Speaking in rhythm, in rhymes,
dialogue of horror, of terror,
the enemy testing, jeering,
shaking the ground under my feet…

Demon-possessed man attacked me verbally
while I tried to have dinner-break last night at work…
He claimed to be a black-Irish leprechaun, a unicorn,
from Brooklyn, a former coroner from Miami,
recently released from prison. His banter was
phrases from super-hero, anti-hero dystopia
and horror films, at least in part…
&
I tried not to engage him, not to give more oxygen to the evil
emanating from his words. I knew instantly that this wasn't
an attack from him, but was an attack from Satan, that demons
had control of his spirit. Strange to be aware in the moment.
I know that sounds strange but I am certain. The way his jaw moved
side to side, the way he went from speaking in riddles to grunts and
a word-bile rising from deep down his throat was ugly.

Peace from God

The peace we carry,
The joy within us
Is not from the world
This peace comes from God…
 
Peace from God,
More than everlasting,
Informing our steps,
As we journey right now…
 
The peace within us,
Life-sustaining, living,
Alive within our spirits,
Guiding every step…
 
Peace from God
Defines us on the journey
Gifting us to Love,
To walk in God’s Spirit…

Demon-possessed man attacked me verbally
while I tried to have dinner-break last night at work…
He claimed to be a black-Irish leprechaun, a unicorn,
from Brooklyn, a former coroner from Miami,
recently released from prison. His banter was
phrases from super-hero, anti-hero dystopia
and horror films, at least in part…
&
I tried not to engage him, not to give more oxygen to the evil
emanating from his words. I knew instantly that this wasn't
an attack from him, but was an attack from Satan, that demons
had control of his spirit. Strange to be aware in the moment.
I know that sounds strange but I am certain. The way his jaw moved
side to side, the way he went from speaking in riddles to grunts and
a word-bile rising from deep down his throat was ugly.

Bile rising

Facing his demons,
His body tormented,
Twisted in fear, in rage,
Out of his control…
 
Bile rising, climbing,
From deep within him,
Not wanting to give oxygen,
To ignite his evil…
 
Sensing the demons,
His body twisted, bending,
Caught in the rhythm, cadence,
The dance of his Master…
 
Bile rising, fomenting,
From the pit, from Satan,
Demon-possessed, spewing,
Evil, a lie word-salad…

In the Presence of Evil

Knowing without question,
This was an attack of Satan,
His body shaking, words spewing out…
 
In the presence of Evil,
Aware of my surroundings,
Yet a bit naked, exposed, for his bile…
 
His face twisted, distorted,
His whole presence created,
Fighting his demons, but giving them sway…
 
Only prayer, a hedge of protection.
Guarding me from within, without,
Against the attack of Evil…
 
Chains he carried, pulling his body,
Outside the cave, the walls,
The prison of his body…
 
In the presence of Evil,
Aware of my surroundings, exits,
Yet a bit naked, exposed, for his bile
His flaming arrows of Satan…

Your words a prayer

Your words a prayer,
A cloak of protection,
Surrounding me with a hedge,
Against evil, this battle…
 
Exposed in the world,
To the bile of his evil,
The words of death,
Groaned from his lips…
 
Forgetting to pray,
For God’s hedge of protection,
But thankfully you cloaked me,
In God’s mercy, His care…
 
I was saved from the spewing,
His staccato of evil,
By your words of protection,
By your breath-prayer…

In guttural utterances

A banter, a blather,
Spewing of lies,
A Demon before me
Trying to avert my eyes…
 
Possessed by a Demon,
Chained outside his cave,
Taunting, jeering,
Seeking my response…
 
Speaking in rhythm, in rhymes,
In grunts, guttural utterances,
A man possesses, dancing,
By the string that hold him…
 
Possessed, seeking, trying,
To draw me into the fight,
Unprotected by armor,
Not letting my guard down…
 
Speaking in rhythm, in rhymes,
Dialogue of horror, of terror,
The enemy testing, jeering,
Shaking the ground under my feet…

Be on Guard

Be on Guard,
Stand in your Faith,
Be Strong, be Courageous,
When the Enemy attacks…
 
Do not engage their Demons,
The words of their mouths,
Stand in your conviction,
In the salvation of God…
 
Be on Guard,
Stand in your Faith,
Be Strong, be Courageous,
When the Enemy attacks…

Do everything in Love

Do everything in Love,
Following the example of Christ,
Live your life, your journey,
A testament to your faith…
 
Be strong, be courageous,
On guard for the Enemy’s attacks,
Stand firm, stand righteous,
Walk in Christ’s light…

Words for Battle – v2

These are words for Battle,
for the fight, for
our Journey, the struggle,
our walk in this life…
 
Be strong, be courageous,
stand firm in your Faith;
be on guard, at the ready,
when the Enemy attacks…
 
In everything, in each moment,
every choice in your walk,
do everything in Love,
follow the example of Christ…
