Put Away The Sword!

                                                            Put Away the Sword!

 

If We Can “See It”, It’s Not The Enemy.

 

Then Jesus said to him, “put your sword back into its place”.  For all who take the sword will perish by the sword.  (Matthew 26:52)

For our fight is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, and against spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.  (Ephesians 6:12)

 

To Fight a Spiritual War “We Must Use” Spiritual Weapons.

 

Our Daily Nugget is telling us that,

The Sword represents the world’s way, a worldly weapon, used by the Old Creature.  The New Creature are “Required” to use Spiritual Weapons as we Fight in this Spiritual War.  We also must “Know The Enemy”.  If we can see it, it’s not the enemy.

 

The Bible says, we have “Righteousness” (Right Living) as our Weapon, both to “Attack” and to “Defend” Ourselves With!  Showing Kindness to people who are unkind to us is a Spiritual Weapon.  Prayer to God is a Spiritual Weapon.  Trusting in God is a Spiritual Weapon.  

 

The Holy Spirit Cannot Do “His Job” Until We “Put Away The Sword”.

Saul could not “See The Enemy” Until He “Put Away The Sword”.

We Will Not be Able to “Love” until we “Put Away The Sword”.

 

To Put Away The Sword is to “Stop Pointing Our Finger” at One Another.

Then you will call, and the Lord will answer.  You will cry for help, and He will say, “Here I Am!”  Get rid of that yoke.  “Don’t Point Your Finger” and “Say Wicked Things”.  (Isaiah. 58:9)

 

God will Fight our Battles when we “Put Away The Sword”; He will not leave us helpless; God Is Faithful to us, when we Put our “Trust” in Him.  God has our Deliverer, Jesus, “Standing By”, “Ready to Save”.

 

To fight using Spiritual Weapons is a “Choice”, a “Decision”, to Trust God and to Live Life the way He says in the Bible.  This is the First Step in Putting Away the Sword, the World’s Way.  God wants to fight our battles.  We will let God fight our battles or we will use our sword.  “The sword cannot deliver”.

 

Ask God to Bless You with the Wisdom to:

Put Away The Sword and Watch What Happens!

The "Wisdom" in "Denying Self"!

                                                   The “Wisdom” in “Denying Self”!   The world is waiting on us to Deny Self and Live Holy!   For the wage of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23)    Neither yield ye your members. Do not yield to temptation.  It is no sin to be tempted, the sin lies in yielding.   The Wage of sin is “Death While Living”; freedom is in Jesus. To yield or not to yield to sin is determined by our “Thinking Process”! Whenever we are tempted to sin; we can “Yield” or, we can “Yield Not”!   Just like our mouths speak what we have filled our heart/mind with; rather we yield to temptation or not is based also on what we have “filled” our heart/mind with.   Our Daily Nugget is telling us that the wage of sin is death, Jesus did not change that.  All who “believe” have chosen to “Yield Not to the Temptations” that the world offers.  This is a command from God to us.  The Bible says, “No Command From God to

Ambassadors!

                                                                       Ambassadors!   Everybody is an Ambassador of either God or Satan!   Anyone who isn’t with me opposes me, and anyone who isn’t “working with me” is actually working against me.  (Matthew 12:30) …And has committed to us the word of reconciliation.  Now then, we are Ambassadors for Christ….  (2 Corinthians 19 & 20)   Whose Ambassador Are You?  Look to your living! Ministering the Word of Reconciliation, The Ambassadors Job! We Kingdom Citizens, Christians, “Are” Ambassadors of I Am, God. Jesus said, If You Are Not Working “For Me” You’re Working Against Me!   Ambassador – An “accredited diplomat” “sent” by a Kingdom as its “Official Representative” to a foreign country, “To Deliver the Message of The King”!     The message of the King is given to the Ambassadors through The Word, The Bible, and through The Holy Spirit.   We must Study the Word, the Bible to “Know the Job Duties” for the Ambassador and “listen atten

Don't Let The Devil Ride!

                                                        Don’t Let the Devil Ride!   If you let him ride, he’ll want to drive, so don’t let him ride!   The serpent was the shrewdest of all the wild animals the Lord God had made.  One day he asked the woman, Did God really say you must not eat the fruit from any of the trees in the garden? (Genesis 3:1) At that time Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil.  He fasted for forty days and forty nights and afterward was hungry.  The tempter approached and said to him, “If you are the Son of God. Command that these stones become loaves of bread.  (Matthew 4:1-3)   Whenever the devil, the tempter, comes to us, we have two options: We can “let him ride”; we let him ride when we “respond” to him with our words. We tell him that “you cannot ride” when we “respond” to him, with God’s Words!   Our Daily Nuggets are two perfect examples in scripture of two people, one let the devil ride and one told the devil that he c
