The Honour of having a Sword

Timmy got back from school and dropped his bag on the floor. “I’m so glad to be home!”

“Sandra noticed her son’s long face, “What seems to be your problem, Tim,” she asked.

“I’m so tired of kids making fun of me, mom. They are so jealous because I got the highest marks for my essay today,” he said.

“All you have to do is smile in their faces, pretending to enjoy the fact that they are jealous. Stand your ground. You are bigger and stronger than most of them and even if you were not, they wouldn’t dare to touch you. You have Jesus with you.”

Later that day, Sandra still thought about her son and confessed to Jesus that she actually has a similar problem at work. “You know there is someone who targets me for some reason, Jesus, and here I am giving advice to my son.”

“Sandra, it is time you start living according to what you already know.” “What do You mean, Lord?”

You have Me with you every day. At this point in time you have learnt everything about salvation and yet, you still do not live according to what you have received.”

“I don’t understand, Lord. I have faith and I always trust in Your presence!”

“Do you? Yes, you believe you have new life. You have received the Holy Spirit but do you live it? Do you love it?”

“Live that new life in joy! You were not born by accident and then lived until God discovered and saved you.”

“He made you Sandra! Rejoice, sing Me a new song and be joyful in Me! Rejoice in your Maker!” (Psalm 149:1,2)

“Dance with instruments and song!” (Psalm 149:3)

“Most importantly however, with the Holy Spirit in your heart, you know you have a two-edged sword in your hand!” (Psalm 149:6)

“How many times more do you want to hear this message of salvation before you take authority of things in your world!”

“You have the power to bless, to pray healing, to praise God and at the same time execute judgement on your enemy! Rebuke the devil for using people to hurt you.”

“This honour of having a sword have all My saints!” (Psalm 149:9)

“It is time to use this sword, child and remember, I love you very much and yes, I will never leave you!”
