Be alert
Job 42:1-2 New English Translation (NET Bible)
Then Job answered the Lord:
2 “I know that you can do all things;
no purpose of yours can be thwarted;
Be alert
Don’t be passive my battle-cry ... stand passive in the Lord
Shine as a light in darkness ... for you’re observed by all man
Evil is the opposite ... he wants you to be passive
He wants your mind and will ... your abilities sealed in a can
Satan wants to take over your body and your soul
To direct it in his way ... on the path of degradation
Don’t underestimate his power for he knew flesh long before
You were born into this age ... and he knows your foundation
Deception unlatches the gate for evil spirits to move in
Passivity without question then provides a “comfy” place to stay
When they feel at home ... they decorate to their liking
The place that you offered them where they now live and play
Truth and will expose deception and only Truth can set you free
The will to want and hunger is needed ... to be a different man
So get focused on the One, Who is always ready to deliver
You out of your dilemma as He is the only One Who can
Super natural power can have different sources
It is crucial in this matter to distinguish origin
What is from God and what is not ... is a critical factor
The smallest to the greatest should understand the scene
If one has not died too emotional life … such is driven by feeling
He searches mostly for sensational events and will easily be duped
And so become susceptible to trickery in super natural matters
Easily winding up in despair and stress when life’s issues pass through
The super natural from God will engage our mind through spirit
Through the Holy Spirit ... He will engage towards sanctification
So then one is free to exercise ... the conscience and its purpose
and distinguish good and evil ... without hindrance or inhibition
