CHOOSE WISELY by the SPIRIT WHO lives in you!

CHOOSE YOUR WEAPON!!!

THE MANDATE?

Do not just ask for a "word" 

ASK FOR A SWORD!!! 

A weapon that will have power from the Lord in the hands of HIS OWN, and against which the enemy is defenseless. NO weapons fashioned by the world can stand against those of our God, our Lord, the Warrior who sings and dances over us! 

The Sword of the SPIRIT is mighty to save:)

Don't know if you like espionage shows, but remember how the hero will go to his "weapons stash" or his wall of defense tools?

He/she selects exactly what is right for the job he is doing!

Heard a Word today that struck me!!!

"Get out Your Bible and ask Him for at least one verse to use as a sword..."

The one who said it was asking for prayer for Dorian and the havoc, *which absolutely I agree!! pray for the safety and turning of this hurricane!!!

but I started thinking...

GET OUT YOUR BIBLE AND ASK FOR A SWORD!!!!!

Whatever you or I might be facing right now! Whatever is wreaking havoc in your world (be it emotional or physical)... There is a "weapon" for that!!!

I'd say this... when you ask AND when He gives it... repeat it over and over and over... pray it, say it, repeat! *

Hebrews 4:12

"For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart."

2nd Amendment rights... Dove season... Midland Odessa

SOMETHING IS JUST NOT RIGHT!!!

YES.. there is definitely something wrong... something different! When we moved to the country over 20 years ago, we saw a parking lot with several old pickup trucks, most with gun racks in the back windows. The shotguns for shooting snakes or dove (dove season starts today) were visible in many of those windows. Farmers and ranchers most all had guns handy and visible. When I was in the halls or classrooms of the schools, I NEVER heard an altercation include... "I'm gonna shoot you."... most were more like... "let's handle this after school" and it was with some kind of wrestling or ugly word stuff...most were nipped in the bud by coaches who got wind of the possibility! NEVER were guns even considered for anything other than varmints or hunting season. The only shootings I remember were like the crazy man in the UT bell tower.. or that crazy Manson man... not like today.

Today I am in earshot of a family of responsible gun owners who are laughing together and shooting clays with shotguns getting ready to enjoy dove season and hoping for bacon jalapeño wrapped birds on the grill. I love it that our 2nd amendment rights are there for reasons other than what most people are believing these days. Not for hunting, but for our protection... (remember why it was originally put into our CONSTITUTION??? if you don't know... I'd suggest you research it!)

I'm not really sure what has changed but I do know that guns are not the problem! Something has changed in people!!!

This is not a political post... it is just an observation post.

The recent Midland-Odessa shooting is pretty close to home, and it breaks my heart. There are broken people in this world, and it is not just the ones holding the weapons. It is also the ones USING this tragedy for their own personal agendas.

There is definitely something NOT RIGHT, something that changed!

It is NOT the guns!

It is the people!

God help us!
