The sword was renewed\u2026 There have been times in my life where I have felt beaten down, like I was unable to pick anything up— least a sword and carry it anywhere; times where I have felt I couldn\u2019t read the word of God; times where I felt I couldn\u2019t even pray.<\/p>\n

I know what it feels like to have the sword renewed in my life. To pick up the Bible and have God lead me to the scripture I needed to read that day, to say a prayer and to feel His presence, I know what it feels like to have my sword renewed. I think we can all<\/strong> relate to this.<\/p>\n

When I pick up the sword of the Word of God, a lot of times I don\u2019t know what I\u2019m going to read.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know how it is going to impact my day, my week or how it is going to impact that moment in time.\u00a0 I do know, and I have faith in the fact, that the Word I hold in my hand and in my heart will make a difference, that the words He has written will make a difference not only in my life, but in the lives of others.<\/p>\n

Our futures are beautiful and powerful, because we have God on our side and in our hearts.\u00a0 As Lisa said, it is time for the church to know what a girl with a sword can do, it\u2019s time for Satan to know what a girl with a sword can do, and it\u2019s time that we believe this ourselves—that we take up our swords and declare what God has said in His Scriptures.<\/p>\n

Girls with swords may be only three letters, but ladies, it means so much<\/strong><\/em>\u2026<\/p>\n

Lets Pray:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the sword You have placed in our lives. Thank You for allowing us to see the power of this sword in our own lives so that we can wield our swords with confidence and faith. Please allow our words and actions to heal and not hurt.\u00a0 Please give us the holy boldness to step out, sword in hand, and show the world, Satan, and ourselves, that Your word—our swords—hold more power than we could ever imagine. \u00a0In Jesus’ name, we pray,\u00a0 Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
