Demons Dressed in Angel's Clothing

A Poem by GSJ

Inspired by "The Screwtape Letters" by C.S. Lewis. Like my mom always warned me, "The evil seeps in, and you don't even know it's there!"

Demons Dressed in Angel’s Clothing

Matthew 7:15 “ Be on your guard against false teachers, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but underneath are wolves on the prowl. You will know them by their deeds. “

She comes smiling and gentle

Thumping her Bible

Praising the Lord’s name, [ loudly and often ]

Speaking of LOVE

and sin.

She opens you gently - poking and prying

Seemingly supportive

All the while finding your weak spots

Picking off the scabs

Making you bleed

Wounded and vulnerable - Ready for the Feast

Convincing you of your unworthiness

Convincing you of your sinfulness

While convincing you of your superiority, your righteousness

Giving you the gift of Judgement

And Spiritual Pride

Whenever her deception is uncovered she cries,

“Only GOD can Judge Me!!!”

And He does,

Crying softly as he watches

her lead others astray...

Using HIS own words - Convoluted and Twisted

Destroyer of Lives

Liver of Lies

Consumer of Souls

BeWare the Demon in Angel’s Clothing!

Matthew 6 Purity of Intention “ Be on guard against performing religious acts for others to see ”

Matthew 15:14 “ Let them go their way, they are blind leaders of the blind, who fall into a ditch together with those they have led astray. “

Author's Note

Inspired by "The Screwtape Letters" by C.S. Lewis. Great, funny, poignant book. I'm sure everyone runs across one of these insidious demons at some point, whether they're banking for your soul, or a loved ones. They change the game and remind us that evil does exist, in many forms. Like my mom always warned me..."The evil seeps in, and you don't even know it's there!" Be Aware and enjoy! Blessings!
