Start wielding your Sword daily. If you’re a believer the only weapon are supposed to be using is God’s Word. This is for everyday life, for whatever comes at us; but also to keep us up and floating above things not below them. Ephesians 6 calls the Bible the Sword of the Spirit. This tool in the original language comes from a root meaning fighting, or striving. This is not a passive thing. I believe that this is not taught well in the church. Lots of believers walk around in defeat because they don’t know what their weapon is to use against the enemy and his tactics.

I am very passionate about this. I want to encourage you that if you aren’t in the Bible every day you need to be and not just mentally reading. Reading asking the Holy Spirit to speak to you and to help you understand. Then take that Word to speak to your mountains with. We’re supposed to be overcomers in every situation not being overcome by evil. And if you’re not it’s not God’s fault or your pastors fault; it’s your fault.

You need to see yourself as God has portrayed you in the Bible to be. Speak out God’s Word, pray it out loud until you get that picture in your mind and you become what Christ died for you to be.

A verse I’ve turned around recently to speak forth over myself in first person point of view and may be one you should also comes from 2 Tim 2:21: “If you keep yourself pure you will be a special utensil for honorable use. Your life will be clean and you will be ready for the Master to use you for every good work”.

See your life as something better than it is. Lift up your eyes. Fix your focus on Jesus and see what happens to your life.
