                     Sword of the Spirit

Use your sword of the Spirit
to cut through the veins and bushes that block
the path that I have placed you on.
Use your sword to cut through these obstacles, deceptions and lies
strategically placed to discourage you and make you doubt.
Use your sword--You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you.
Use your sword--No weapon formed against you shall prosper.
Use your sword.
God has not given you the spirit of fear but of love, power and a sound mind.
You have the mind of Christ.
Clear your path with the sword of the Spirit and continue to walk.
Clear the path for those that follow you:
your children, natural and spiritual.
They will learn how to use the sword by watching you.
Use your sword--nothing can oppose it.
You have the victory.
