The Miseducation of the Believer

Then He said, I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your sins and become like little children, you will never get into the kingdom of heaven. So anyone who becomes as humble as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

—Matthew 18:3–4

Deception has been the tactic the enemy has used against believers since the beginning

With the craftiness of his deadly seeds he has been steadily planting

The enemy does not want you to prosper, grow, or receive God’s grace

So he sabotages your living water to dehydrate you from finishing the race

He attacks your mind and implants doubt, shame, and guilt

Which stunts your growth in God where your faith is solely built

These lies he fills your mind with will tamper with your perception of your position

That leads you to unfortunately place your divine ranking to question

So you must comprehend that you are justified in God’s eyes

And ask yourself, will He allow His undeserved grace to pass me by?

Understand that God loves you in spite of your mistakes and sins

Because His Spirit, that was created for you, dwells within

Stop living in fear that God hates you from what you have done

If He did not love you, He would not have sacrificed His own innocent Son

What Father do you know allows His Son to be put to death for your mess?

What Father do you know transformed a testimony from troubled tests?

His grace and mercy endures forever no matter what we do

Yet you are concerned about the false thoughts the enemy makes you believe is true

But God says different—for He calls you redeemed and justified

For the blood of Christ defeats all sin and makes you equalized

Because it does not matter how long you have been saved

Just embrace the fact that you are fearfully and wonderfully made

God wants you to know that here on earth you will never be perfect at all

And His Word confirms that He will not permit the godly to stumble or fall

Instead of walking away from God and all that He has for you

How about you approach His throne with confidence and boldness too

Go to God naked with your sins being exposed to your tainted core

Let God search your heart and His grace to thoroughly explore

The depths of the very soul that reveal the agonizing pain you experience

As the battle between flesh and Spirit has already commenced

Stop feeding into the tricks of the enemy that poisons your flesh

Receive the grace and love of God to embrace His absolute best

Choose to live your life as holy as heaven’s design was meant

To express your love to God which is keeping all His commandments

Just because God loves you unconditionally do not think He is naive one bit

For grace does not give you license to sin but yet to confess and admit

That you have fallen short of His glory as all have done in their life

To repent from your ways and make an eternal sacrifice

Deny yourself from the past you no longer live
