In a world drowning in a sea of opinions, you can be a pillar of strength, hope, and life…but you must rise up and seize the moment before you. It is time for us as God’s people to rise up and become who God created us to be. Our time is now. The only question remaining is this—what will we do with it? _________________________________ Go deeper by reading my book Adamant.

welcome to session two a sword is born
now before you even watch this my hope
is that you’ve already gone through
chapter two in the book and chapter two
in your fencing lessons because if not
this might not make sense to you I’m
going to open up with a quote by
Elizabeth Barrett Browning this is what
she said and she said and each man and
she meant to include women and each man
stands with his face in the light of his
own drawn sword ready to do what a hero
can
each of us have a different sword and
each of us have different capacities
different capabilities different things
that we can do in the different seasons
of our life and I want to talk to you
though about why a sword why not a gun
why not a bomb why a sword well
apparently swords or Jesus’s weapon of
choice and also swords are Eternal
weapons that have both the power to kill
and give life long before the age of man
swords were formed in the forges of
heaven we find one of these swords that
we actually haven’t even been able to
create on Earth yet in Genesis 3 verse
24 it tells us God drove out the man and
at the east of the Garden of Eden he
placed the cherubim and a flaming sword
that turned every way to guard the way
of the Tree of Life these massive winged
cherubims had a sword in their hand that
was not stationary like the one I have
behind me it was one that actually
turned in every direction that would
mean just like this like a wave but
every single Direction and it wasn’t
made out of metal
it was made out of flames it was a
flaming sword how awesome is that
human history opens up our Genesis
begins with a flaming sword pushing us
out of the Garden of Eden
but our human history also closes with a
sword in the Book of Revelations chapter
19 it says from his mouth comes a sharp
sword which with which to strike down
the Nations and he will rule them with a
rod of iron he will tread the winepress
of the fury of the wrath of God the
almighty on his robe and on his thigh he
has a name written king of kings and
Lord of lords another version says he’s
coming back speaking sword words I love
that it’s not just that Jesus got like
metal coming out of his mouth he doesn’t
have a grill he’s actually speaking
words that will have the ability to
judge the Nations and you need to
understand get all scared about that
judgment means rewards and punishment
but he’s going to level it he’s going to
shake everything and he’s going to put
everything back into order so beginning
and swords are our bookends of our
history you and I are not Angelic
Guardians who block other people
from the goodness of God nor are we to
use the word of God to judge other
people that is an entrustment
only to Jesus so we don’t have to worry
about judging or blocking but we do need
to understand what the sword looks like
that we’ve been entrusted with and you
know I’m a little bit you’ve
probably already figured that out in
just two lessons but basically
when I was typing I was reaching this
place where I kept writing God’s word
God’s word God’s word God’s word God’s
word and one time because typing is not
my strength I made a little typo and all
of a sudden instead of saying God’s word
the S had moved over
and I found within a God’s word a god
sort
