STREET WARRIOR <\/p>\n

11-03-2024<\/p>\n

You have got to have conviction,
\nIf you are going to hit the street,
\nBecause, my friend, if you don\u2019t,
\nYou\u2019ll just end up in total defeat.<\/p>\n

A city can indeed be quite rough,
\nWolves will scream in your face,
\nThey will do everything possible,
\nTo try to drive you from a space.<\/p>\n

Know you are on the Devil\u2019s turf,
\nSo they\u2019ll jeer, scream and mock,
\nThey will even try to distract you,
\nSo that you can hardly even talk.<\/p>\n

Remain focused on your mission,
\nShare God\u2019s Gospel with the lost,
\nStay strong and fight your battle,
\nAnd do not surrender at any cost.<\/p>\n

The Lord will reward you greatly,
\nWhen your mission is finally done,
\nAs you enter God’s Heavenly City,
\nHe’ll greet you as His beloved son.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
