Captain
Deceit, I’m reporting for duty
Do
come in lieutenant, I have your next assignment
Your
next target is a woman
She
is a believer in our Enemy
Years
ago she recognized her sin and repented
Then the
Adversary snatched her from Satan’s clutches
The
so called Holy One forgave all her sins
He
even credited Christ’s righteousness to her account
While
we are powerless to change her eternal destiny
We
can assault her here on earth
I
want you to rack her with guilt and condemnation
Daily,
focus her mind on her many sins, past and present
Help
her to see her willful sin
And
the utter depravity of her heart
The
pièce de résistance
Will
be sins committed after she came to Christ
May
she focus on her own wretchedness and unworthiness
Even
question if she is really saved
Instead
of being filled with joy and peace
Because
Christ paid her sin debt
She
will be burdened with guilt and brought low
And
never desire to share the Gospel
May
she be bound with chains
Link
after link, memories of her sin
Distract
her
So
she can’t focus her mind
Do
not let her open God’s perfect and inerrant Word
Or
let her hide the Enemy’s truth and promises in her heart
Do
not let her read or remember
There
is no condemnation to those in Christ
Nor
walk in freedom
For
whom the Son sets free is free indeed
May
those hell-bound unbelievers around her
See
a fool burdened under the weight of her sin
May
she not harken the door of a church
Where
the Word of God is taught without compromise
Instead
direct her to man’s wisdom
A
life of self-effort and temporary rewards
May
she not be encouraged and strengthen
By
the body of Christ
Whatever
you do, don’t let her pray
For
her God will hear her prayers and answer
Like
the vulnerable lamb who wanders from the flock
Attack
and devour when she is alone
Do
not let her put her hope in God
Instead
cloud her mind with condemnation and defeat
Whatever
you do, do not let her be filled with joy and peace
Or
give praise, honor and glory to God
Remember,
He is our ultimate Enemy
Who
desires to save all those who are perishing
Good
luck on your assignment lieutenant
Once
you succeed, there are many more we need to defeat
