Amazing and Powerful
Sword of the Spirit
insights
which will
Bless your Life!
These insights
have strengthened me and positioned me
to gain miracles.
Picking up
God's Supernatural Sword
has done
Amazing things in my life.
I've been putting on the Full Armor of God for over 20 years.
I act like the pieces are visible and tangible.
I actually go through the motions
of putting the pieces on.
As I put them on,
I speak out words to God
that form prayers.
You can see about 2 dozen of my prayers
on the link that follows - Here
Recently
as
I have been putting on my armor,
I have been
highlighting the word
SUPERNATURAL.
Here are the words I have been saying...
"I pick up the
Sword of the Spirit
which is the Word of God.
I pick up Supernatural POWER.
I pick up AMAZING POWER."
I encourage you to
Think about that!
My Sword
is a
Powerful Instrument of Change
if
I read it with a teachable heart.
* * *
*
My Sword
will do
Mighty things to Guide me,
if
I will read it regularly.
* * *
*
My Sword
will do
Spectacular things to Protect me
if
I will
read it regularly.
PRAYER
* * *
*
Heavenly Father,
Thank you for the
Supernatural Power
that you have placed within my reach.
I will read your Word today.
Amen
Next,
I am going to share some thoughts
that have been
motivating me and inspiring me
to stay in the Word of God each day.
The Word of God is POWERFUL to change many things.
Keep in Mind...
It's main goal is to change
you and me
to look more like Jesus.

Tips for Success
Number One
1
The Word of God changes my mind on various topics.
The Bible says that
reading the Word renews my mind.
That means that
I change from
the way I used to think
- to -
the way God thinks.
The more I read the Word
with a teachable heart,
the more my mind thinks like God does.
*
When God changes my
mind on topics,
he also changes my perspectives on things.
I begin to see things
in a different light.
For example,
I begin to see
the perspectives of other people more clearly
and
I begin to have more compassion
for their needs and desires.
I begin to love people more fully.
I begin to be more like Jesus.
And the
Word of God
changes my desires.
Worldly
things
fade
and
become more and more
un-important.
I begin to want what God wants.
Number Two
2
The Word of God changes my emotions.
When I begin to think like God on a topic,
my emotions will change.
More and more
my emotions will be
stirred
by what God wants them stirred by.
And my emotions will be
stirred
less and less
by
my human wants and desires.
Number Three
3
The Word of God changes my will.
* * *
*
Our soul is our mind, our emotions, and our will.
Our will
determines what we will
ACTUALLY
do.
We can sit around and
think
about what we will do.
And... we can imagine what we will do.
And... we can talk about the great things we will do.
And... we can get excited about doing great things for God.
But
it is our will,
that determines
what we will do.
* * *
*
The Bible strengthens our will to do God's will.
When we read the Word of God regularly,
we change our mind and our perspectives.
That results
in changing
WHAT
we
- think -
is
important and valuable.
*
The outcome of that
is
a change in
what we choose to do.
For example,
previously,
we thought
Bible Reading and Prayer
wasn't that important.
But
as we read the Bible regularly,
we see how vital and valuable
both of them really are.
* * *
*
We see WHY we need to
give them importance in our schedule.
We begin to realize
what happens
when we
DO
make them a priority,
and
what happens
when we
DO NOT
make them a priority.
God's Words are Words of Transformation!
God calls his Word -
Food.
The Bible calls the Word of God food for a reason.
* * *
*
We actually need nourishment from the Word of God
every day.
* * *
*
Are you as hungry for the Word of God
as you are for eating food?
God wants us
to realize that
it is just as important to read the Bible
as it is to eat food.
Without Bible reading,
we become spiritually weak
and then
temptations will easily overcome us.
Making a list of Scriptures
that can specifically combat
the temptations we are facing
is a wise use
of our time.
Each day,
we can read out - loud those Scriptures.
In a few weeks,
we will FEEL the strength coming into us.
We will become stronger and more able to say,
"No,"
when we need to say
"No,"
and
"Yes,"
when we need to say
"Yes."
Here are some examples of
morning scriptures
that you might like to
think about adding to your day.
As I pick up God's Supernatural Sword
and read it or speak it out-loud
(out-loud makes me feel the power more)
I pick up
Supernatural Help,
Supernatural Outcomes,
Supernatural Thoughts,
Supernatural Emotions,
and
Supernatural Will-Power!
God's Sword often changes our situations and circumstances.
But
keep in mind
that the major thing
it will change is you - if you don't hinder it.
Psalm 23 says,
"He leadeth me along the paths of righteousness
for his name sake."
* * *
God is always leading and guiding us toward
right things
- so -
we will
GO TOWARD
right things
and reject sin
IF
we don't ignore God.
Reading God's Word
makes our
mind and emotions
more pliable to God's guidance.
I encourage all of you
to put on
The Full Armor of God
regularly.
It reminds us
of the important 6 pieces of Armor
that we need to pay attention to each day.
Heavenly Father,
Thank you for all the revelations and motivations
I get
from
reading your Word.
Thank you
for
telling me that
daily Bible reading
helps me
to
become
wise,
avoid lots of unnecessary problems,
and
walk more pleasing to you.
As I follow you,
my life
becomes
more beautiful -
more like Jesus.
Amen
