On this wonderful Saturday towards the end of January on brand new year, the question is, why does she wield the sword? She wields the sword because it cuts through the chains of darkness, grief and heaviness and it bares the standard of victory.
The Bible says the Word is sharper than a two-edged sword (Heb. 4:12). It is by the Word of God that I have been reminded of the goodness of the Lord and have had my hope restored. The truth of God‘s Word has taken an ax to the very root of the source of my insecurities. It cut away the layers of the enemy’s agenda.
This Sword, the Word of God, defends me against the very onslaught and attack of the enemy. When the lies come on in the form unholy attachments and generational curses, just a flash of this sword’s bright blade turns back the troops of darkness.
It is written, “When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord raises up a standard against it” (Isa. 59:19). This Standard is the Word, The same Word that Jesus used in the wilderness, it is the same power and very presence of the Almighty God.
We have been given this Sword in our hands because we have been chosen and made one of his own.
