This Christ-centered poem draws from Daniel 11:32b, illustrating how intimately knowing God through Jesus empowers everyday believers to perform bold “exploits” against demonic and worldly darkness. Through the humble scribe Elias’s story—praying in secret, shattering chains, and defying tyrants with faith like a mustard seed—it calls readers to dive into Scripture and prayer for Spirit-led strength, turning weakness into victory at the cross. Not by human might, but by God’s power, the redeemed rise to heal, deliver, and overcome in a battling world.
In the hush of midnight’s veil, where shadows claw at weary souls,
A whisper stirs the embers—Know Me, child, and rise.
Not in thunder’s roar or king’s decree, but in the quiet cross where blood was spilled,
Christ, the Anchor, calls the broken: “In weakness, find your might.”
Elias was a scribe, ink-stained and forgotten,
Hunched over scrolls in a world that mocked the Lamb.
Kings raged with iron scepters, empires built on bones,
Yet in his chamber, knees bruised from prayer, he heard the Voice:
“Those who know their God shall stand firm, do exploits bold.”
No sword in hand, no army at his call—
Just faith like mustard seed, planted in the storm.
When tyrants burned the altars, chained the faithful low,
Elias rose, not with fury, but with fire from on high.
He spoke, and prisons cracked like Jericho’s walls;
He prayed, and blind eyes saw the King of Kings.
Demons fled at his shadow, rivers parted at his word,
For he knew not a distant deity, but the Risen Lord—
The One who conquered grave, who turns the meek to mighty.
In arenas of lions, in fires of persecution’s blaze,
Believers stood, unbowed, their exploits etched in grace.
But darkness gathers still, whispering doubts anew:
“Hide your light, conform, let fear reign supreme.”
Yet hear the call, O seeker: Dive deep into His heart,
Know Him in the Scriptures, in the silence, in the scar.
For those who truly know their God—intimate, unshaken—
Shall shatter chains, heal nations, wake the dead to life.
From the cross’s victory springs the exploit’s flame:
Not by power, nor by might, but by His Spirit’s name.
Will you know Him now, in this fleeting breath of time?
Rise, redeemed warrior—the world awaits your sign.
