This Message is inspired by the Reading, “Been in the Darkness Too Long” from the Book Overcoming Darkness.

While writing this Poem and song, I wondered why some become possessed with Materialism. Lying, Stealing and Deceit abide in our Materialistic Society. Satan promotes Stealing, Cutting Corners, Lying and Deceit as the only ways to reach our Goals and become Successful. Satan’s deceptive practices has us believing that we have to achieve “By any Means Necessary.”(Isaiah 35:8, Job 23:10-12)

Satan loves to have us believe we are owed something. He promotes the “I Spirit” in us. He promotes the Spirit of, “I did it my way, and I accomplished all that I have on my own.” Under the current evil dispensation, the Spirit of “I” is the means to an end. (Isaiah 60:2, 2 Corinthians 4:4, Ephesians 4:25)

The awakening of our Spiritual Eyes improves our perspective. The Lord is our Shepard and we have no wants. God Provides all of our Needs. He is in the Blessing Business. If we ask in

His name, we will receive. Our Spiritual Eyes reveal that if we watch and pray, we will see the Salvation of the Lord. No Weapons formed against us shall prosper. (Psalms 23:1, Philippians 4:19, 2 Corinthians 9:8, Matthew 26:41, Exodus 14:13)

Satan is continually looking for his next victim. His mission is to Kill, Steal and Destroy. God’s Wisdom grants the ability to recognize Satan’s ways and actions (Wise As A Serpent). If any matter becomes argumentative, we know Satan’s spirit is involved. Our Spirit always remains cognizant of Facts (Strong Meat). If our answers are factual, they are Truthful. The Truth sets us free from the devices of Satan. (John 10:10, 1 Peter 5:8, John 8:32)

As the Light Shines until that Perfect Day, God’s Order is being revealed. Right becomes our Standard. Knowledge and Truth become the beacon that guides our daily life. We see the promise that the Truth will cover every corner of the Earth. All will come to know him from the least to the greatest. (Psalms 85:11-13, Habakkuk 2:14, Matthew 6:33-34)
