A message from Girls With Swords Study by Lisa Bevere
one of my favorite quotes is by an
author named Wendell Phillips since what
he said he said Christianity is a battle
not a dream
well I just want to tell you something
if you are going to be brave enough to
dream then you must be brave enough to
fight I don’t know if you understood the
day you became a Christian you stepped
into a battleground a lot of people are
like no no I just signed up to go to
heaven when I died well I’m sorry
Christian means Anointed One and when
you are anointed or marked by God’s
Spirit then you are noted by the enemy
there is one of my favorite quotes by CS
Lewis there is no neutral ground in the
universe every square inch every split
second even this moment for you right
now is claimed by God and counterclaimed
by Satan this is the wonder of our day
this is the time that God chose out of
all of eternity for you and I to walk in
a time where there was clearly drawn
lines of battle you say this doesn’t
look like wonder this looks like war
will you know what it is war and there
is an anointing on your life to fight to
see that God’s justice is brought into
the earth you know the background behind
me says girls with swords we do not use
swords to beat people up we use swords
to set the captives free
God has his hand on your life to set
people free people that you see in
captivity people that you see there in
places of despair and hopelessness we
need you to be fluent in the Word of God
we need you to raise that sword by
raising prayers with the Word of God in
your mouth and set captives free
