Wage War with the Word of God!
RISE UP WARRIORS! It’s a brand new week to rest in God’s everlasting love and prepare our Spirit to RISE UP and wage war with the Word of God!
I’ve spent the last week and a half moving towns in Texas, which in and of itself is a full time job! I’m finally getting settled in and back to work (Praise Jesus!) Now, before we get into this week’s blog post, I want to give you a few book updates! If you’ve been following my journey since University, you know how God’s presence, protection, and provision have been over every detail of preparation the last five years in my life as a Kingdom Author! If you haven’t been following my journey the last five years, I will make a separate blog post where we can sit down with a cup of joe and talk about the prophetic dreams God has given me and the books I have written for His Kingdom!
I am SO excited to share with you that my FIRST book announcement is coming in just a few weeks! Jesus has used the last five years to prepare my heart, mind, and soul for THIS moment and I am beaming with God-sized JOY to share it with you soon!
“This is the day the Lord has made; let’s rejoice and be glad in it.” -Psalm 118:24
“Finally, be strengthened by the Lord and by His vast strength. Put on the full armor of God so that you can stand against the schemes of the devil.” -Ephesians 6:10-11
Waking up this morning, I prayed for the whole armor of God over myself, my family, my boyfriend, my friends, “RISE UP WARRIOR” and men, women, and children all over the world. While there are millions of ways the enemy tries to attack kingdom men, women, and children, my spirit rejoices in the Lord for having the opportunity to RISE UP and prepare my spirit to wage war with the Word of God, standing battle ready!
Knowing our enemy is crucial in knowing how to RISE UP and wage war with the Word of God as sons and daughters of God! A few weeks ago as I prepared to move, I walked into my bedroom and sat down on my carpet in front of my window as I opened my Bible. Closing my eyes, I put my hands together and prayed as I felt the warmth of the sun coming through my window. I spent this time in solitude, praying over the devotional I’m about to release and all of the children book’s I have written for God’s Kingdom. I prayed that if there was anything God wanted me to add, take out, or change in my devotionals/books, He would make it known to my spirit. The exact second I said “Amen,” an unexplained exhaustion rushed over my body, and I fell into a deep sleep for two hours! In my dream, I was in my room in the same spot I had fallen asleep, but I saw a serpent in between my window staring right at me. The serpent had a taunting smile and was intently watching me. The second I woke up, my spirit filled with an immediate awareness. I knew this sudden exhaustion and dream wasn’t from Jesus, and I was reminded of the importance of spiritual preparation! Warrior, the enemy isn’t just prowling around, he is silently waiting and watching to see if we see him, what we do, if we’re battle ready, and how we spiritually prepare for our kingdom calling! The enemy is waiting to interfere with deception in taunting and subtle ways.
You see, the enemy wasn’t just staring at me, he was looking at the books I had written and was trying to taunt the prophetic messages God had opened Heaven and told me to write. Have you experienced a moment like this recently? In moments where the enemy tries to attack, intimidate, or place fear in our minds, we get to RISE UP WARRIOR, battle ready! God has already won the war and He gives us authority to trample on the head of the serpent!
Look, I have given you the authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy; nothing will ever harm you. -Luke 10:19
It’s time to Rise Up Warrior! You are MORE than a conqueror in the name of Jesus Christ! There is NOTHING the enemy can do to you but try to scare you. It’s time to stand on a watchtower of awareness, place God’s armor over ourselves, and wage war with the Word of God! After this spiritual attack, I looked up at God and lifted my hands, praising God for everything that would come from “RISE UP WARRIOR.” Instead of bowing down in fear, I decided to RISE UP as God’s daughter, standing battle ready with my King. Three nights ago, as I prayed over my rest after a long and stormy day of moving, I fell asleep peacefully and woke up in awe. As I fell asleep that night, my spirit ROARED in prayer for and over “RISE UP WARRIOR!” THIS is what we need to do when we’re faced with spiritual warfare, we need to RISE UP with the full armor of God and let the Holy Spirit ROAR through us!
In the name of Jesus ALL demons tremble and flee with the whisper of His name! In the name of Jesus we are MORE than conquerors! In the name of Jesus the war is WON! It’s time to RISE UP WARRIOR and wage war with the Word of God with biblical manhood, biblical womanhood, kingdom calling, and unrivaled purpose to protect the covenant of marriage, to protect kingdom children, and to ARISE as God’s son’s and daughter’s!
“Finally, be strengthened by the Lord and by his vast strength. Put on the full armor of God so that you can stand against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of this darkness, against evil, spiritual forces in the heavens. For this reason take up the full armor of God, so that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having prepared everything, to take your stand. Stand, therefore, with truth like a belt around your waist, righteousness like armor on your chest, and your feet sandaled with readiness for the gospel of peace. In every situation take up the shield of faith with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit—which is the word of God. Pray at all times in the Spirit with every prayer and request, and stay alert with all perseverance and intercession for all the saints.” -Ephesians 6:10-18
