Choose Your Weapons!

What'll it be? Needles or swords? Inject or infect?

Weapons of darkness

or

Sword of light?

Hey think about it?
The choice you make of which one to use as your weapon to fight with, is found in your heart.

What do you really want and desire?
Freedom and real life

or

a false reality brought on by the injection of a mood altering / mind altering chemical?
Hmmmm.

I choose the Sword.
I have seen the destruction brought on by the needle!

Hey, but Swords are so old fashion....

Even if someone comes out with an updated version of the Sword,

it still operates the same way.

A person has to lay hold of it.

Feel the weight and learn the balance.

But isn't that the heart and truth of God?
We have to lay hold of His word, His sword to use it.

It's not enough that we possess the Sword (word) of God....

It's not enough to simply go about our day with the Sword of God shoved way down in

our scabbard.

Swords were meant to be used.

No matter whether we choose the needle and drugs

or

The Word of God....

our lives will be changed.

For the worst, by the needle

and for His glory by the Sword.

Dude...
Chose the Sword and discard the needle.

In the book of Deuteronomy - Chapter 32

we read a very unusual verse.

Now before you read this, I want you to know that I have

taken this verse and placed it within the context of a battle taking place

between those who choose to live in addiction...
And those who have chose to follow Jesus.

Speaking on those who are still suffering in their addiction, we pick up in Verse 28

For they are a nation lacking in counsel, and there is no understanding in them.

(Sound familiar? A life on drugs / alcohol )

Would that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would

discern their future!

( not much wisdom when your ability to think is impaired)
(Future? What future? When your strung out, the only future you can'

think about is the next high)

How could one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight,

Unless their ROCK had sold them.

(why would those strung out run from one or two others?)
(Because what they had placed their hope and trust in.....

their ROCK (Crack Cocaine) had sold them out and led them to situations and places

where they would die)

Indeed their rock is not like our rock....

(As a follower of Jesus, He is my ROCK!)
(My ROCK is not like their rock (cocaine)

My Jesus Rock is THE ROCK of ages....

I run to the shelter of the most high God

and dwell in the shadow of the Almighty.

So what'll it be?
Needles that destroy by making you promises that it can never deliver....

or The Sword of God....His Holy Word......The Bible!

I would not write this if it didn't profit me....

The Bible is a practical book for practical living...

here ....

today....

21st century...

I kid you not...

Turn your life over to the care of God....
What an incredible start...
No more needles with which to stab myself with....
Only the Word of God that works deeper than any needle could go...

Producing lasting life

here....

and

in

eternity!

God on you.....
