Here’s a secret you
may or may not know,
Life is designed
with built-in, two way switches.
They do not come
with ‘off’ and ‘on’, oh no!
They are always
on, and never have glitches.
These switches are
fused to what we believe.
They are connected
to two unseen sources,
And serve to govern
what we will receive,
From resources of
spiritual forces.
For each area of
your life, there is a switch.
While others may
try, only you can control it.
To flip it ‘the
other way’, there’s always an itch,
But it’s only
flipped by your mind and your spirit.
Each of these switches
is flipped either on ‘faith’ or ‘fear’.
Though some think
so, there is no in-between.
The setting is
based on what you mostly see and hear.
The connections are
always tight and clean.
Just as with our
switches electrical,
When flipped, the chosen
power will flow.
But unlike
electric current normal,
These switches will cause their seeds to grow.
By the time these
seeds produce their fruit,
You will have
forgotten that switch you flipped!
As long as you feed
that fruit’s tap root,
More of that
fruit’s kind to you will be shipped.
Flipped to ‘faith’,
you’ll turn on God’s creative power,
And grow seeds of
the substance of your hopes.1
Flipped to ‘fear’, you’ll
remove God’s protective armor,
And by devilish
fruits you will be choked.2
For each switch,
the default position is fear, not faith.
It takes absolutely no effort to live and walk in
fear.
To flip a switch to faith requires an intentional fight --
To flip a switch to faith requires an intentional fight --
That fight of
faith, to perceive God's Word,
and walk in what you hear.3
The best way to
avoid ending up in fear's ditches,
Is to daily check the position of your life switches.
Keep them on 'faith', so you will enjoy faith's full riches,
And avoid being tied up in those… devilish stitches.

1 Now faith is the substance of things
hoped for, the evidence of things not (yet) seen. (Hebrews 11:1)
2 …Do NOT
fear… (Iterated 46 times in The Bible)
3 Fight the good fight of faith,
lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called… (1 Timothy 6:12)
Interesting observations.
