Demonic Oppression
The Battle’s Not With Flesh and Blood
It’s said that a Christian cannot be possessed
Since demons can’t live where the Lord’s paying rent
But that doesn’t mean that we can’t be oppressed
And that is sufficient for this, my lament
Not every addiction’s about doing drugs
Oppressive depression takes root in the heart
Depression’s that nuisance that constantly bugs
And like drugs, if oppressive, will tear us apart
Impulsive the thoughts running free in my head
So damning this weakness I struggle to fight
Repulsive the feelings I’m left with instead
Too frightened to fail but afraid that I might
What prayer must I pray for oppression to quell
Still seeking why God isn’t setting me free
Just how can some doubt the existence of hell
When the hell some are living’s so easy to see

Bruce Lee and The God of War: Kuan Ti
It starts with love.. The Power to the God Of War and Wealth Walk into a Chinese restaurant (even in Oklahoma, USA), a Chinese police station, a kung fu martial arts studio or even a Chinese temple and you often see a red faced warrior holding a heavy quan-do (spear like weapon).
