Are You Holding a Superhero Weapon?

July 19, 2016 by Kristi 13 Comments

Zink!

Imagine gripping a superhero tool in our hands, something long, slender, shiney and sharp. We swing the weapon with power and force, slicing the air back and forth.

Zink!

Zink!

Zink!

“Take that, you nasty darkness!”

We glare at our enemy, holding a stare that only victors gather.

Our feet-shoulder-width-apart stance is impressive. It speaks strength and confidence.

 

Nothing will move us.

 

My sword – your sword – and the Giver of them assure we have the upper hand in this battle.

We thrust our sword-like weapons into the air, our backs stretch tall. It’s a victory gesture.

Like a camera flash, the metal on each blade gleams its shine, glistening with a crisp and clean confidence.

Darkness, like a piece of paper, falls at our feet – sliced and cut to pieces. It has no ground to stand on, only listless, pointless places to fall.

 

This is you and I…

…with the Word of God.

 

We are warriors holding swords – the Word of God. And it’s powerful.

 

 

My heart

 

Do you ever confess scripture?

You know – take a scripture and insert your name or personalize it, just you talking to God? The above one hails from PS 108.

 

It’s a keeper.

Confessing scripture is like inserting yourself in the story above, swinging that weapon of godly warfare with might. Swing the sword mightily by reading it, saying it, or praying it to God just the way it is. Enjoy!

 

Confessiong scripture is like swinging a mighty weapon of Godly warfare. #walkingdeeper Click To Tweet

    This is so helpful, Kristi! We don’t need to dream up the words or figure out the weapons … they’ve already been given to us.

    Amen, girl!

    LOVE this! Sharing on Facebook today. Thanks for the encouragement. I’ve started declaring scripture to myself (and to God and to the principalities???) and you’re right. It is powerful. Builds my faith like nothing else.

    I love this! I have three pages of Scriptures, the paper worn thin and fragile, that I’ve prayed aloud for years now. God’s Word is powerful! Happy to be your neighbor at Lyli’s!

    Kristi I’ve never heard it call confessing scripture, but I love that and I do insert my name a lot. I love reciting 1 Corinthians 13 and inserting my name and I do that when my husband is performing a wedding service or when I need a slap in the face. Thanks for sharing.

Welcome! I’m Kristi.

Feel free to pull up a chair, make yourself feel at home. This is “our” space to be real, to grow in faith, and to walk deeper with God.

Be forewarned, however. This is a space for Sunday pewsitters becoming Monday through Sunday worshipers – a place where women walk deeper with God.  xo
