Close the Portals

Eve saw the serpent eat the fruit and through her sight, he found the route to the recesses of her mind then made her think he was so kind. She heard one speak in tones so sweet slick words that entered wisdom’s seat. So, through the portal of the ears she was suckered by Satan’s jeers. Satan seeks access to our mind His goal is to deceive and bind. And when at last he gets his way He treats us like lions treat prey. Guard well the access to your mind Let not allurements make you blind. If you would make Jesus your Lord Then you must sever Satan’s chords. The doors you once opened to him which made you subject to his whim You now must close and bid him leave If you to Christ desire to cleave. Be mindful of the things you watch The Devil seeks your soul to catch. Through movies and music, he sets His trusty traps and nifty nets. To sight and sound, scent, touch, and taste demon possession can be traced. Once Satan gains access to the soul He seeks his victims to control. Satan seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, To this end, he designs his ploys. Jesus offers you, life and peace He longs Satan’s chains to release.
