CARROTS

 

 

I was offered a carrot today;

   Which, of course, is the enemy’s way;

Little, at first, but they work in reverse;

   Sadly lacking in Vitamin A.

 

One thing’s for sure; he’s not in a hurry;

   As long as the fruit is: 

I’ll suffer his fury!

 

It seems that carrot’s are always by choice;

   Which clearly shows:

Spirits don’t have a voice...

   Unless they can fool me

and I’ll let them use mine;

   Then, I give them my power

to successfully bind....

   The one that was paid for with Jesus blood;

Thus, allowing them all to come in like a flood.

 

The thing that I’m wondering,

   because this happens so much,

Is, Why am I not staying better in touch

     with the One that’s All Wise,

Never changing His mind

   To freely give me all that is mine?

 

I’m not talking the issues of wrong and right;

   That’s shadow boxing: ‘The Religious Fight”;

If Sin’s really paid for, then I am a threat;

   So, I’ll have to be fooled or else he can’t get...

My power to use now, right here on this Earth,

   to keep his appointment: The anti-christs’ birth!

 

So, what is the answer?  How does it work?

   What is God’s answer to defeat this ‘jerk’?

(I use the term loosely, for who is the greater?

   He fooled me to not believe my Creator.)

 

I started this week of activity,

   with normal responsibility ;

Really rejoicing that I could be

   as productive as one much younger than me.

 

I was just about done rearranging the room;

   Picked up the T.V. and Crash, Bam, KaBoom!

My poor ‘old’ back caught and I quickly listed;

   All of the reasons I shouldn’t resist it.

It didn’t matter that I was paid for;

   Because, after all, I was now on the floor.

 

But isn’t part of the package to me:

   That I am whole, so that I can see...

that youth is renewed, just like Father said;

   Thou, Satan would love to keep me in bed!

 

I’m not saying, there isn’t a time to leave;

   But the enemy’s trying to keep me deceived;

Because, the first thing that happened,

   when he attacked;

Was to get me to justify, being on my back.

 

My legal mind, with the help of others,

   went over the grand check list:

The yard work, The tractor, The weeding,

   all factors;

Pain’s logic so hard to resist!

 

The familiar spirits all cheering me on;

   For the next larger carrot of the enemy’s song.

I almost bought that I was stupid,

   for expecting my body to be;

Just what my Lord’s so completed price

   freely has given to me.

 

I don’t mean by that, that I won’t take instruction;

   To hear what my Lord has to say;

But not finding out why is dangerous ground

   that locks in the enemy’s way....

 

Because, it really is true that I’m being re-stored,

   back to my original position.

Is this, then, a lie and I’ll have to wait?

   Could this be the enemy’s condition?

 

It would have to be a subtle deception,

   so he can operate without my detection;

Well, what better tool than logic’s voice;

   It’s now my own reasoning and my own choice.

 

And if truth would be allowed to speak;

   We’d hate to admit that we are that weak...

to not detect, after all these years,

   That my lord as been ‘Reason’ with its children

of fears.

 

The only option that’s left is ‘pretend’

   We’re afraid to do less..’we could stumble men’;

So, what’s the solution, ‘to begin again?’

   ‘I’ll keep my mouth shut...I don’t want to offend.’

 

Well, you don’t seem to mind offending Me;

   To make Me a liar for the world to see;

It was Me that revealed the enemy’s plan;

   You forget, you’re inscribed on the palms of My hands!                      

I didn’t say to begin again;

   Just fight the right fight and identify Sin.

Religion has said that it’s ‘right’ and ‘wrong’;

   How about, “You’re paid for”;

Could this be your song;

  

To respond to Me with such gratitude

and not allow yourself to be used...

   to perpetrate this platter of lies;

But, rather, openly defy....

   every challenging situation that’s heard;

trying to tell you, I won’t keep My word.

  

There are many things, Lord, I’d like to do;

   All of which, you’ll be able to.

I told you just the other day:

   A curse that’s causeless, won’t come;

Believing The Lie has cause and effect;

   So, choose to believe My Son.
