Satan's Doing
The devil chuckled to himself. “Boy, she swallowed that one,”
he said of Eve,
And he congratulated himself on his ability to deceive.
Now that Eve and her husband were dealt with, he turned his attention
elsewhere,
And, with those things that our God had created, he began to interfere.
And interfere he did, with intelligence greater than any on
earth,
An evil mastermind, a mad scientist, blending his hatred with mirth.
Yes, a fallen planet, now his experimental laboratory,
Where he could go about madly destroying things systematically.
Satan soon figured out how to manipulate the DNA of cells,
And in time, this planet was riddled with his devilishly devised ills.
Certain things that were harmless now became poisonous, plants
developed thorns,
And harmful bacteria and parasites sprang forth, weeds, thistles on
lawns.
Next Satan turned nature into a reign of tooth and claw, death
and bloodshed,
But despite what he did, and the horrid results, God was one step ahead,
Thus, the devil’s meddling was minimized, counterbalanced to some
degree,
Otherwise, there would have been absolute chaos, which was his strategy.
Hence why God endowed plants and animals with a certain ability
Which providentially allowed them to develop an immunity
To new diseases, and to also adapt to new conditions, eventually,
Otherwise Satan would have gained total control, wiped out humanity.
Yes, nature’s ills are Satan’s doing,
not the result of Darwin’s theory,
Which, I might add, was devilishly orchestrated too, undoubtedly.
The Scriptures clearly state that our God made this earth in six
literal days,
Not via a reign of tooth and claw, not via some “evolutionary” phase.
The one who inspired Darwin’s foolish theory inspired Harry
Potter too,
For both are fantasy, deception, that Satan knew many would pursue.
He presents things in packages that he knows humans will quickly
embrace,
But what a tragedy, when Christians too, these same things utilize and
chase.
Satan hasn’t just been working on nature, but also on human
minds,
Hence his love of deception, fantasy and fiction, for he knows such
blinds.
Given time, falsehood and truth become difficult to tell apart, unless
One’s very discerning, clothed in a biblical and godly battledress.
Because this earth’s near its apocalyptic end, Satan’s upping
the anti,
Hence the rise in spiritualistic material, activity.
And sadly, many Christians have succumbed to his bewitching New Age
spell,
When they should’ve only been drinking from their Saviour’s pure
lifesaving well.
Many are hooked on signs and wonders, the mysterious and
beguiling,
They’re far from the narrow way, close to a precipice, and Satan’s
smiling.
He knows that many foolishly think they’re saved despite their sad
condition,
And he’s chuffed, for he’s the master of illusion — a clever magician.
Ever since the Fall, Satan has sought to gain complete control
of this earth,
And prophecy predicts that prior to Christ’s return, a world power
gives birth.
Such is no doubt Satan’s End-time vehicle for gaining control of all,
A world power that the devil’s desires will legislatively install.
And one that duly calls “fire to come down from Heaven”
supernaturally,
Hence why Satan’s preparing the way via spiritualism, you see,
For once such is embraced, his fiery deception will fool folk easily,
And once again, “Boy, they swallowed that one,” Satan will chortle
gleefully.

Disown Santa Claus
Though Christmas wasn’t actually when Christ was born, one can see the reason for such a celebration,
But hey, Christians into Santa Claus as well, not to mention elves? Now there’s a serious violation.
Yes, Christ on one hand, and Santa Claus on the other — a right old unholy mix if ever there was one,
For no pagan Santa Claus, and the occult in the form of elves, should be sharing the limelight with the Son.
And to add insult to injury, these very same Christians ask God to bless them, despite such apostasy,
In other words, despite them emulating the Israelites who indulged in the same sort of idolatry.
And oh, how the Israelites paid for their folly, their holy and unholy mixes, their adultery,
And rightly so, for they knew better just like us, who, shouldn’t expect God to feel any differently.
And if we don't know any better, we’re hardly into God’s Word, and thus worldly to boot, undoubtedly,
And without excuse, for even logic shouts that we can hardly have it both ways, given that God’s holy.
And given that He’s wanting us to become more like Him, and thereby, far more in tune with the heavenly,
Certainly not sharing Santa Claus with His Son, be such via cards, wrappings, decorations, or some movie.
In other words, if you’re into celebrating Christ’s birth come Christmas time, don’t mix His birth with fantasy,
Such being, Santa Claus, elves, and those mystical flying reindeer — all of which rob Christ and His birth of glory.
Get the picture? Yes, Satan’s no fool, hence his inventiveness-cum-thievery, which Christians should clearly see,
And here, avoiding the commercial, trite and false — that which amounts to idolatry and apostasy.

Christ Was No Drinker
Some say Christ drank alcohol. Now how ridiculous is that? For since when has Christ been into such a befuddling brew,
And how could He have lived a sinless life while here on Earth, if such mind altering liquid He’d chosen to pursue?
After all, such clouds one’s judgment, quickly removes self-control, and hence why Satan oversaw its introduction;
All being good reasons why those texts regarding the consumption of wine shouldn’t be given some faulty construction.
Yes, let’s face it, Christ wouldn’t go near the stuff, at least in so far as consuming it goes, for He is far too wise,
And not alone in refraining, for there are many medical people who alcohol’s destructiveness realise.
Yes, even humans are aware of its capacity to harm — that is, even when taken in moderation,
But hey, what Christian would desire something that pickles and numbs the brain, and creates a sinful intoxication?
Surely no Christian — for don’t they realise they’re not to mistreat their God-given body, nor give Satan some control?
Which they do the moment they imbibe such, for under its sad influence, they’re certainly not in charge of the whole.
And to make things more than clear, it only takes one glass, and hence why Christ would never have partaken of such a brew,
And why, despite those misinterpretations of Scripture, alcohol is neither meant for, nor good for, me and you.
No, Christ was no partaker of booze, and even on the cross such intoxication was clearly seen to refuse,
For He knows how alcohol affects one’s sense of right and wrong, and how under such, folk even more so such abuse.
Yes, Christ never intended that we swallow such, and nor did He, for alcohol’s nothing but a devilish drug,
In other words, a callous and heartless thug, which given half a chance, robs and mocks midst giving one a heavy slug.

"Then they offered Him [Christ] wine mixed with myrrh, but He did not take it" (Mark 15:23, NIV).
"Don't
you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit
lives in you? If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him;
for God's temple is sacred, and you are that temple" (1 Cor 3:17, NIV).
Satan's Doing — "Fire" - Rev 13:13.
