THE POWERFUL WEAPONS OF LIGHT

THE POWERFUL WEAPONS OF LIGHT




“BEHOLD-I have GIVEN YOU the power 'to tread upon serpents' and scorpions and upon the FULL FORCE of the enemy-


And NOTHING will harm you” Luke 10:19


USE those weapons
Of light
Use those weapons
Of LOVE-forgiveness-and KINDNESS


WHAT is this power
That the Lord gives us
To ESTABLISH his kingdom
On earth


“I am NOT ashamed
Of the GOSPEL


Because it is
THE POWER OF GOD


For the salvation
of everyone who believes
FIRST for the Jew
Then for the GENTILE


For in the gospel
A righteousness from God
IS REVEALED


A righteousness that is
BY FAITH
From first to last


Just as it is written:
“THE RIGHTEOUS
will LIVE by FAITH”


What chance does mere evil
Have against the powerful weapons
OF LIGHT


The powerful weapons
Of God


THE GOSPEL OF OUR LORD


Love-forgiveness-kindness
CONQUERED everything once
And has
THE CAPACITY to do so again


Jesus gives us
THESE “weapons of light”


To CHOOSE to do good
To work for justice
And to treat each person
WITH DIGNITY


He gives us
THE GRACE to love
The capacity
To express gratitude
And the ability to
SMILE AT OTHERS


Really
What chance does evil have
Against the weapon of LIGHT


USE YOUR WEAPONS of light today


To express concern for others
To offer
A good-kind-or encouraging word
And continue to PRAY
For others


So use THE WEAPONS OF LIGHT
For someone who is suffering
And to CHANGE the world


Dear Lord-WE PRAY
That you shine
YOUR POWERFUL WEAPONS OF LIGHT
To others
Through the course
Of our day


In Jesus' name
