SWORD OF THE SPIRIT

“…the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.”Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭17‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

I had a vision on June 8 as I attended a day with Daughters on the Frontline. In the vision I saw a woman clothed in the armor of God. (Ephesians 6:10-18). But, I saw the sword of the Spirit laying at her feet.  I received understanding that the sword was not being held because it was thought, “I will pick it up when I need it.”  

I heard the Lord say in my spirit, “IT’S TIME TO PICK UP THE SWORD!!  MY WORD TRUMPS THE WORD OF THE WORLD!”

Even though I saw a woman in my vision, I believe that the woman represents the “bride of Christ.”  This vision and word is for all – men and women alike. 

Brothers & Sisters, the main weapon of our warfare is in our mouths!  God’s Word spoken, declared, and decreed in and over our circumstances and in and over world circumstances is one of the most powerful weapons we have.  We need to realize the importance and necessity of having our “sword” constantly ready. 

Read God’s Word…Pray God’s Word…Speak God’s Word 

May God’s Word continually be in our hearts and in our mouths!  RISE UP BROTHERS & SISTERS!  PICK UP THE SWORD AND BE READY TO DO BATTLE!

“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.”Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭12‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

Don’t let what is happening in your life put you in a position of defeat. Rise up from that position and remember you are “seated with Christ in heavenly places.”  (Ephesians 2:6).  That is your position!

RISE UP!       ARMOR UP!       SPEAK UP!  

You are not defeated!  You are not a failure!  You are not powerless!  SPEAK God’s truth over yourself and over your circumstances and keep speaking it until you see the victory!

“For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.”   (1 John 5:4)

Praying for you, mighty, victorious men and women of God!!

MAY…

Tina K. Roach Christianity , , , , , , , ,

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. (Romans 15:13)

May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul, and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
(1 Thessalonians 5:23)

May your love abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God! (based on Philippians 1:9-11)

🙏Praying for you, dear Brothers & Sisters…🙏

KARAV: Draw Near

Tina K. Roach Christianity , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

I returned from ministering and serving at Karav a couple of days ago. It was a time of reconnecting with old friends and meeting new ones. ❤️

It was a joy to lead and teach two classes on the preparation of the Bride of Christ for our coming Bridegroom. The focus Scriptures were The Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 25:1-13) and The Wedding of the Lamb (Revelation 19:7).

It was a blessing and honor to pray for my Brothers & Sisters in Christ and to speak God’s encouragement and love over them.

Along with ministering to others, I am so thankful that I was able to worship our precious Lord and draw near to Him. I am overwhelmed with how He poured out His love and anointing upon His people. And I am overwhelmed with how He ministered to me. I will never be the same!

Thank You, Lord, for calling Your people to draw near!

“Draw near to God and He will draw near to you…”
‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭8‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

BELOVED OF GOD! ITS TIME TO DRAW NEAR! CAN YOU HEAR THE LORD CALLING? CAN YOU FEEL THE BEAT OF HIS HEART? HE LOVES YOU SO MUCH AND HE’S WAITING! IT’S TIME TO DRAW NEAR!! ❤️💥💥❤️

MEMORIES…

Tina K. Roach Christianity , , , , , , , , , ,

I am blessed to have some ministry opportunities coming up in the near future. So, it was time to declutter and organize my office space!

I have two handmade prayer shawls hanging from the back of my chair given to me by two dear friends. I have a picture of Jesus entirely made from the words of Scripture. It was given to me years ago by a former student and is so precious!

I have a wooden communion cup brought back from Israel after taking communion with my touring group.

I have a photo card that my host family sent me as I was resting on their couch during ministry times at their church.

I have plaques given to me during my teaching career and on my retirement.

As I sit in my office space, I am so thankful for all of my friends, family, and ministry memories. ❤️ And of course, I am thankful to Almighty God!! All glory and honor to HIM!!

And I am excited and expectant for what the future holds! There is MORE to come!!

HALLELUJAH!!!! 💥💥🔥🔥🔥💥💥

Lord, I thank You for this day! I ask that You would take everything in it and use it to mold and shape me into the person you would have me to be. Forgive me, Lord, when I have fallen short of walking in Your plan. Help me to reach higher – to reach for Your plan for me – and
not settle for mine.

Open my eyes, Lord, that I may see!
Open my ears, Lord, that I may hear! Open my heart, Lord, that I may love!! May it be so, Lord, in Jesus’ name!!
Amen!
