The battle is real

Not all who

speak His name

are of the Light

they know exactly who

He is

they quote verses too

because

even demons believe

in His power

and

they're always waiting

patiently

hidden in plain sight

they mesmerize

everything you've ever

dreamed of

and more

they're willing to

put in the time

and the work

one thought

one emotion

one action

one trigger

one guilt trip

at a time

quietly and gently

tightening the chains

one link at a time

unknowingly

already seen

by one of those

mysterious gifts

that cause nervous

chuckles

at first sensing

ancient and

accurate

by design

for a time

such as this

scoffers succinctly seen

darkness deftly discerned

edification energized

a gift

a weapon

of warfare

to alert

and expose

even in the

darkest corners

no fanfare

no announcement

there's no hiding

their arrogance lied

to them

again

because they

were clearly seen

before they knew it

never assume that

the one who comes

in peace is not

experienced in

warfare.

β€œBut the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills." I Corinthians‬ ‭12‬:‭7‬-‭11‬ ‭NKJV

β€œAnd demons also came out of many, crying out and saying, β€œYou are the Christ, the Son of God!” And He, rebuking them, did not allow them to speak, for they knew that He was the Christ.” Luke‬ ‭4‬:‭41‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
