FIRE FIGHTER <\/p>\n

If you are the Lord\u2019s frontline soldier,
\nYou really need to put on your gear,
\nBecause it\u2019s sure that sooner or later,
\nThat old Devil will whisper in your ear.<\/p>\n

Yes, he\u2019ll tell you all kinds of silly lies,
\nSaying that you are not fit for the job,
\nThat foul fiend only has but one goal,
\nIt is your faith he wants to utterly rob.<\/p>\n

You cannot put out his wicked flames,
\nWhile he freely dances in your head,
\nSo take control of all of your thoughts,
\nOr else you could wind up totally dead.<\/p>\n

You need to resist that snake strongly,
\nJust don\u2019t you dare give him any place,
\nEmbrace the power of God\u2019s anointing,
\nSo you can finish your heavenly race.<\/p>\n

Be faithful to complete your life\u2019s work,
\nStay focused on your primary mission,
\nThere is a crown of life waiting for you,
\nWhen comes your heavenly admission.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
