Warrior Bride

She will follow Jesus.
In her hand she will carry the
double edged sword of peace and love.

She will fight. With the power of the
Holy Spirit, with gentleness and mercy
she will overcome evil with good.

She will listen intently to her commander,
protected with the shield of faith
and the helmet of her salvation.

She will run to do His will,
on the sandals of peace
without fear, she will run into His heart.

She will rescue the oppressed and
destroy the stongholds of the enemy.
By the proclaimations of her mouth,
in Jesus name, they will fall.

Spotless and white, robed
in His righteousness, fearlessly
she marches daily to battle.

She was bought to be His, but is no slave.
She was transformed by His presence
and is sustained and satisfied by His love.

Loyal, she will be His warrior bride
and He will never forsake her.
Weak in herself, she will warfare
on her knees.

Ephesians 6:12
"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."

2 Corinthians 10:3-5
"Of course we are human, but we don't fight like humans. The weapons we use in our fight are not made by humans. Rather, they are powerful weapons from God. With them we destroy people's defenses, that is, their arguments and all their intellectual arrogance that oppose the knowledge of God. We take every thought captive so that it is obedient to Christ.")
