the battle-ax

"You are My battle-ax and weapons of war: For with you I will break the nation in pieces; With you I will destroy kingdoms; Jeremiah 51:20 (NKJV)

I was reading email today during my lunch-time. As I was opening a newe-mail, I saw the words, in bold letters, "Pick up the Battle Ax". When Ihad fully opened the email to read it, there were no similar words, so Iknew God was speaking to me. As I asked him about this, he gave me these words:

Pick up the sword I have given you. Now is not the time to be bashful or to hold back. Lift it to a ready position. Strengthen yourself in my written word. Ingest the truths I have for you. Be found with others of a like-mind.Do not be brash, but neither be caught by surprise. The enemy is real. Hecomes to kill those who oppose him. Stand beneath my shadow and beprotected.Pick up the sword and strengthen your arms. Raise them in praise of me.

Find your strength in the light of my word. Eat of me daily. Come boldly to me for forgiveness that the enemy would have no advantage. Prepare yourself for the battle is long, but know the outcome has been decided. Pick up the battle-ax.

Do not be discouraged. I am with you. Yes, I am working within you, despite what you don’t see or sense. I am with you. Drink-in the water I offer. Apply the balm of my peace to your restlessness. My words bring encouragement. Let them soak into your life. My ways bring wholeness, for now and in the time yet to be revealed. I am active within your life. Rest in me and do not allow discouragement to affect you. My love for you is ever-growing. It reveals itself as you allow me to work. Replace what you don’t see with my assurance. My words will come to pass. They never fail. There is nothing I have shown you that I will not perform. Let the water of my living word refresh you.

Out of the Water

-
Later, when the boy was older, his mother brought him back to Pharaoh’s daughter, who adopted him as her own son. The princess named him Moses, for she explained, “I lifted him out of the water.” Exodus 2:10 (NLT) I have known you before your birth and blessed you with my name. I have drawn you up, out of the waters and into my presence. Walk with me. Lean into me so I can steady your way. I have places yet for you to be going; lives yet for you to reach.
