The Art Of Righteous Risk

Posted by Hayley Esther on Tuesday, October 10, 2023

 The Art Of Righteous Risk by Hayley Esther 

I temperately retreated to the secret place.

To make sure that for the task ahead I have the grace. 

Now that I am sure that I am destined to fight in this war.

I won't let the enemy make me shrink back.

First move, my knees hit the floor.

It's time to pray.

Got to make sure that I am doing this God's way.

He made me a light,

It is true I am born to fight, but the battle is already won,

By the finished work of Jesus Christ, the risen son.

Nothing will stop me now, it's time to take ground. 

Armor must be put on properly, and doctrine must be sound. 

The enemy will not fight fair and we must keep that in mind. 

The dark kingdom will attack.

So as we advance forward, let us make sure that God's angels have got our back.

We have to be savvy, with eyes on Christ, with eyes on the target.

Face forward, no fear, remember the reason we are standing here. 

This isn't a game.

If we do this the Fathers' way, we will not be put to shame.
