Foe

Something wasn't right,
I felt a fight.
She was in my sight.
I prayed, not tonight.
A smiling demon in heels.
Always making deals.

She didn't love anyone--
made people run.
Whatever she wanted, she got.
Used shame, to win fame.

No one wanted to be called out,
no one wanted to hear her shout.
They were protective of their clout.

But I wasn't afraid, and could care less
about her mess--was familiar with this test.
In God's presence, she started to confess...
had issues, that required tissues.

Little did she know,
she had made God her foe.
He was tired of her talk,
he was ready to make her walk.

I prayed for things to change,
I prayed her life would rearrange.

One day it was time for me to go,
the seed was left, it had to grow.

No Belief in God Talking to His Messengers

Have you ever tried talking to someone about something you knew for sure was the truth?  You gave them detail after detail and fact after fact in an effort to help them with an issue, yet they still didn't want to believe you?  Well, this sort of response is what many of God's messengers face when sharing his truth with believers as well as unbelievers.  We aren't just talking about the Gospel of Christ, but wisdom that speaks truth into one's personal situation/dilemma.

Prophets ought to be strong when giving a person a word of knowledge, prophecy or any other message that God moves on our spirits to give.  Further, we should fear the God we pray to when we don't do for Him!  So many former messengers and followers end up in troubled waters, because they proceed in life thinking God is directing them, despite being wayward in the faith.

Think of the many Christians who end up on planes, trains, buses, cars and even in bars, because they permitted flesh to direct them, while ignoring the prophet's warning, only to prematurely die via an accident, stray bullet, illness, or something else.  We all are going  to die some day, but at least when the time comes, it will because God ordered it and not because of our disobedience that led us to it.

We must trust the words that God gives (even if it hurts) and do accordingly.  But how might we know whether a messenger of God is real?  Consider what you prayed behind closed doors.  Was there any way one would have known what to tell you at the right place and at the right time without God's influence?  Of course, our adversary will have his many tricks, but what do his words provide?  A trip toward a path that leads straight to hell!  We see evidence of this by the many elitists whose minds have gone crazy as a result of shunning what the Almighty God says while welcoming what Satan sings.
