• Using God's Word ~ In Battle

  This week at church one of our pastor's preached on the power of God's Word in the battle for your heart and mind. It was a powerful reminder of the invaluable resource we all have at our fingertips to please God in word, thought, and deed. (Take Every Thought Captive by Jon Wizarde)

  One very practical way I've found to use God's word in the battle for a stronghold in my life, is to write out bible verses on 3x5 cards and either carry them with me, or post them in my house. Then I find I am being reminded often of the truth and not the worlds lies. I have also found this a great way to memorize scripture.

  This also can be a tool you can share with others. The first time I ever wrote out verses for a friend was about 14 years ago, she was battling bulimia and I wrote out about 15 verses for her to keep in her bathroom. I've also sent 3x5 verse cards to friends going on mission trips or friend walking through a difficult season. 

  (I don't share as a way to see what I've done...this was something that was shared with me to do as a way of encouragement to friends and my own heart in times of spiritual battle.)

  What are ways you use God's Word in the spiritual battle of life?
