Adopt the defensive stance

In readiness for attack

Knowing in advance

God’s armor has your back.

Envision the helmet  

Where prayers emanate

The Kevlar vest, how it is set

Holding your heart, true and straight.

Take comfort in the holster belt

Wrapped around your waist

Girding your gut instinct as you are dealt

Satan’s temptations to choose unwise haste.

And don’t underestimate that expandible baton

That can go beyond your normal reach

Sweeping away danger, dispelling the hoax, the con

All avenues are covered, as the Apostle Paul would teach.

For the power of the Holy Spirit is unleashed

Upon reading and hearing of the Word

So gird yourself, as you are now beseeched

For Jesus has established the final sword.

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. Ephesians 6:10 & 11
