Captain Warrior Princess Ninja Hannah

Like my new title? I figure if there can be a Detective Chief Superintendent (Is that really how you spell that?) then there can be a Captain Warrior Princess Ninja. In case you didn't get that comparison, I've been watching Foyle's War lately. Anyway...

So we all need to embrace the fact that there IS a war going on. You can ignore it, but that doesn't change the fact that it's happening all around us. Yes, it is a spiritual war; but if you think what you can't see can't hurt you--Special Delivery! You've got a reality check coming.

So you've heard the whole armor of God spiel. Many, many times you've heard it. But have you ever actually done it? This is not just metaphorical, people.

What really irks me sometimes is when people pick at Bible verses, trying to uncover all these hidden meanings. Because sometimes, what it says IS what it means. And If you pick at something long enough, it falls apart and is useless.

So when it says "Take up the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God," it means, when the enemy comes at you, you are supposed to defend yourself by taking up God's Word. Every verse like "No weapon formed against shall prosper" or, "By the stripes of Jesus I am healed," or, "There are angels encamped all around me," it's like a stab of the sword.

And when it says, "The shield of faith," it means that when those flaming darts come at you, you need to hold up your faith, faith that by your faith itself, those darts will be extinguished.

The helmet of Salvation? That means that what tops you off, what keeps people from messing with your head and thoughts, needs to be your salvation, the blood of Jesus.

This was all spur-of-the-moment, but the truth is there. Think about it.
