Journals of the Heart

“Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints” (Ephesians 6:17 NIV).

I am turning the tables on the enemy in your life. I have taken the crooked staff the enemy used to reach out and wrap around your neck, pulling you back into places of darkness, and turned it into a “Sword of the Spirit.” Pick it up and remember, I take what he means for evil and use it for good (Genesis 50:19-21)! His plans have failed.

Take “The Sword of My Word” and use it as the mighty weapon it is (Ephesians 6:17, Hebrews 4:12). Remain faithful to Me, denying him any power over you. He only has access to what you relinquish. Hold fast and you will reap in due season (Galatians 6:9).
