When the Holy Spirit
starts to move,
to stir the heart of man,
The enemy works overtime
to win them if he can.
He surely doesn't show himself
as "a devil dressed in red."
He's working undercover,
deceiving them instead.
Of course, that's what he does the best. He's known to be a liar.
He leads his victims subtly
into the lake of fire.
He doesn't say, "Now follow me; we're on our way to hell."
Depending on each victim,
a different story he will tell.
He tells each what they want to hear, whatever that may be,
Denying that God's word is truth for all to be set free.
With persuasive tales of many ways, 'though God's word says just one,
They place their trust in Satan's lies instead of in God's Son.
He does this for a living,
seduces men with lies.
The more the Holy Spirit moves,
the harder Satan tries.
He sets before his victims' assorted paths for them to choose,
Precisely what appeals to each ... but if they follow him, they'll lose.
Satan is a craftsman using people as his tools.
Building bridges paved with lies, crossed by many fools.
They refused "the narrow road."
that God has paved for us
Instead, the lies of Satan
have satisfied their lust.
Satan's called by many names; "the evil one," "the great deceiver,"
"murderer," and "roaring lion" who temps the unbeliever.
He'll come to them in many ways, even tempting God's elect;
As "an angel of light"
sometimes a "friend,"
his goal to misdirect.
But God, He holds the victory.
The war it has been won.
Still, the battles will go on
till Satan's work is done.
And yes, he's got an army that's working with him too,
Devoted to the cause of death, there's nothing they won't do.
So when the Holy Spirit Moves … know that Satan's moving too,
Leading many into darkness because they won't believe what's TRUE.
For those who know
God's saving grace,
Satan cannot steal your prize,
Though he'll continue
his deceitful ways,
enticing you with lies.
So be on guard and pray each day that you won't fall into his trap.
Place yourself in the arms of God, even sit upon His lap.
He'll wrap you in His love
and grace,
He'll protect you from a fall,
He'll hold you tightly and give you strength, if only you will call.
