Double Minded Spiritual Warfare

If you feel like there’s an angel on one shoulder arguing with a devil on the other, that’s double mindedness.

The only reason the devil’s there is because he’s offering you something you want that you shouldn’t want. Command the devil to leave until he no longer wastes his time on you. You are then victorious.

The only reason the angel’s there is because God has not given up on you.

Ovi Poetry Challenge: Fleeting Words

So, if you let the devil run
your mouth and think you’ve won,
with fleeting words you’ve not begun
to walk the narrow way.
