The document emphasizes the concept of believers as 'warrior brides' of Christ, wielding the sword of God's word as a means to overcome spiritual battles and establish God's kingdom. It encourages individuals to embody purity, obedience, and holiness while actively engaging in prayer and the study of scripture to prepare for the impending return of Christ. The piece includes biblical references and a call to action for believers to be filled with the Holy Spirit and equipped for their spiritual mission.

2. The Entrusted Sword
“The Sword entrusted to us is eternal. In this blade all the victories of the past are linked to the impossibilities of the present,
and hope for the future… Our Sword created the heavens and the earth. It is our time to wield the Sword of God’s Word to
make history rather than to simply mark it” Lisa Bevere p 30. Girls with Swords
Make God’s Word your final authority in life. Live the Word. Use it to heal and to create life. Use it against the enemy not each
other.
Eph_6:12 “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the
darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Heb 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing
asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

3. Scars of Honor
Never be ashamed of your scares, it means you overcame the attack ~ anonymous
If you have scares, it means you are in good company ;
Psl 22 16(b) “... they pierced My hands and My feet.”
1 John 4:4 “ You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because he who is in you is
greater than he who is in the world.”

4. Warrior
Luk 10:19 “Behold, I give unto you power to tread
on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of
the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt
you. “
Mar 16:17-18 “And these signs shall follow them
that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils;
they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take
up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it
shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick,
and they shall recover.”
It is an ongoing warfare for each child of God on
earth but we overcome! Rev 12:11 “And they
overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the
word of their testimony; and they loved not their
lives unto the death.” The reason: the Kingdom has
come. Dan 7:27 “And the kingdom and dominion,
and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole
heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of
the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting
kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey
him. “
Psal 18:34-40 “ He teacheth my hands to war, so that
a bow of steel is broken by mine arms. Thou hast
also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy
right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness
hath made me great. Thou hast enlarged my steps
under me, that my feet did not slip. I have pursued
mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I
turn again till they were consumed. I have
wounded them that they were not able to rise: they
are fallen under my feet. For thou hast girded me
with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued
under me those that rose up against me. Thou hast
also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I
might destroy them that hate me.”

5. Praise to The Groom
Psl 45 The Message
My heart bursts its banks, spilling beauty and
goodness. I pour it out in a poem to the King, shaping
the river into words: “You’re the handsomest of men;
every word from your lips is sheer grace, and God
has blessed you, blessed you so much. Strap your
sword to your side, warrior! Accept praise! Accept
due honour! Ride majestically! Ride triumphantly!
Ride for the righteous meek!
Isa 61:10 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul
shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me
with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me
with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom
decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride
adorneth herself with her jewels.
Rev 19:7 – 9 “ Let us be glad and rejoice, and give
honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come,
and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her
was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen,
clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness
of saints. And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are
they which are called unto the marriage supper of the
Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true
sayings of God.”

6. Rebecca
Like Rebecca, she agreed to marry her groom
although she did not saw him beforehand. 2
Cor 11:2. For I am jealous over you with godly
jealousy: for I have espoused you to one
husband, that I may present you as a chaste
virgin to Christ.
Hos 2:16 -20 “ And it shall be at that day, saith
the LORD, that thou shalt call me Ishi; and
shalt call me no more Baali. For I will take
away the names of Baalim out of her mouth,
and they shall nomore be remembered by their
name. And in that day will I make a covenant
for them with the beasts of the field, and with
the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping
things of the ground: and I will break the bow
and the sword and the battle out of the earth,
and will make them to lie down safely. And I
will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will
betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in
judgment, and in loving kindness, and in
mercies. I will even betroth thee unto me in
faithfulness: and thou shalt know the LORD.”
The groom says; Come away with me my
bride, come and dance with me! Come out of
Babylon, come out of the false systems of this
world. Do not worship them. Cleanse yourself
with my blood, go to your inner room, close
the door and wait on me. Call on me. We will
hear and we will reveal ourselves to you. We
will anoint you with oil and heal you.

7. I am Woman
“Before I formed you in
the womb, I knew you;
and before you came
forth from the womb, I
sanctified you. I have
appointed you as a
prophet to the nations.”
Jer 1:15
The Bride is sanctified
and purified (by fire).
Purity is not a gift. It is a
result of repentance, and
a serious pursuit of God.
Holiness is not a feeling
– it is the end product of
obedience. P22. Frances
J. Roberts.” Come away
my Beloved”
I AM WOMAN WRITTEN
BY LAUREN JACOBS

8. Getting ready
My Bride, you need to get ready.
Wake up! I need a Warrior Bride! I
need a holy Bride. A Bride without a
speck. A Bride with a Sword in Her
mouth. Practice by eating My Word
each day. Wait expectantly on me
each day and I WILL reveal myself to
you. Love me with your whole body
soul and spirit and I will fill you with
extra oil and new wine. I will anoint
you for the present end times. I am
coming!
I asked the Lord, who is the Bride? He
answered in a dream; “Those who
tabernacle with me.” “Come, buy oil
and fill your lamps. Awake o sleepy
bride. Come buy oil that is already
paid for.
Rev_3:20 “Behold, I stand at the door,
and knock: if any man hear my voice,
and open the door, I will come in to
him, and will dine with him, and he
with Me.”

9. His Sword
Zech 9: 11-13 As for thee also, by the
blood of thy covenant I have sent forth
thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is
no water. Turn you to the strong hold,
ye prisoners of hope: even to day do I
declare that I will render double unto
thee; When I have bent Judah for me,
filled the bow with Ephraim, and
raised up thy sons, O Zion, against thy
sons, O Greece, and made thee as the
sword of a mighty man.
Psl 149:6 Let the high praises of God
be in their mouth, and a two edged
sword in their hand;
Isa 49:2 And he hath made my mouth
like a sharp sword; in the shadow of
his hand hath he hid me, and made
me a polished shaft; in his quiver hath
he hid me;

10. Reforge The Sword
“You are the daughters of a
valiant, virtuous Warrior whose
eternal, creative Word in your
Mouth is a living invincible
Sword in your hand. You have
been entrusted with a weapon
without rival in a time like no
other. Wield it with skilful finesse,
gracious insight, and in
triumphant love, and strike sure”
Lisa Bevere p 8. Girls with Swords
“ From the ashes a fire shall be
woken. A light from the shadows
shall spring. Renewed shall be
blade that was broken. The
crownless again shall be king….
REFORGE THE SWORD.”
Tolkien, The Return of the King.

11. The Great Commission
Joh 20:21 “Then said Jesus to them
again, Peace be unto you: as my
Father hath sent me, even so send I
you. “
Luk 22:35 - 36 “ And he said unto
them, When I sent you without purse,
and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any
thing? And they said, Nothing. Then
said he unto them, But now, he that
hath a purse, let him take it, and
likewise his scrip: and he that hath no
sword, let him sell his garment, and
buy one.
Matt 28:18 – 20 “ And Jesus came and
spake unto them, saying, All power is
given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy
Ghost: Teaching them to observe all
things whatsoever I have commanded
you: and, lo, I am with you always,
even unto the end of the world.
Amen.”
