Our Enemy Isn’t Flesh and Blood

By Earl W. PearlPublished about a year ago Updated about a year ago 1 min read

The reason the devil keeps battling you

The reason he won’t go away

He knows of the damage your story will do

On people he’s hoping to sway

You’ll notice the enemy’s constantly near

Mischief follows wherever good roams

So the reason oppression is growing severe

Thieves don’t bother with desolate homes

    The devil is there to prevent the best from doing their best to stop others from being save but that’s not going to happen in Jesus Christ’s name. Great poem depicting the struggle of facing life worst enemy
