Hi Brian!

The word for this week is "weapons". We find it in 2 Corinthians 10:4 

(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; KJV

This is the Greek word "hoplon". Strong's Concordance says: an implement or utensil or tool (literally or figuratively, especially offensive for war). Thayer's Greek Lexicon says: any tool or instrument. Vine's Expository Dictionary adds: always in the plural. HE has a multitude of "weapons" and HE knows how to use them! THROUGH US! As we stay tuned in to Holy Spirit, HE will cause us to be used for HIS GLORY as we fulfill our God given gifting and calling! When Jehoshafat went to battle BY FAITH, the LORD instructed him to put the PRAISERS first! He KNEW the secrets of warfare! Here is a new song by Brandon Lake called "Sevens":

Love and Shalom from the Swoveys!
