Eviction
Dear Satan, Liar, Accuser, and Thief,
Thought I’d serve you a final notice.
See, I know your attacks and motives.
You’re trying to steal, kill, and destroy everything that God has for me,
But you can’t have my life because of who owns me!
You’ve tried throwing your fiery darts as your blows tried to hit my mind, soul, and spirit
And I’ve take it too lightly, but finally I’ve put on the full armor; this is it!
I’ve been too polite in my good-byes as you’ve invaded my life.
You’ve tried sifting me as wheat, and I was blinded
Because my eyes stayed focused on your distractions.
I was too lazy and unfocused to see your tactics.
You’ve tried to take me down too long without me even giving you a fight.
You’ve caused so much heartache, pain, and strain in my life
That I could’ve avoided, and you’ve enjoyed it.
And as I was stuck in iniquity, you rejoiced every time,
Wanting me to pack my bags filled with the deadly sins I carried,
Waiting to give me a one-way ticket and seat in hell with you.
But you have no power or authority; I don’t belong to you!
See the kingdom
