Heaven's Storm Troopers

We are God's storm troopers; a God sent group of earth invaders whose mission is to bring Heaven to earth. The Bible is our Constitution. Prayer is our weapon.

Give a 5 year old a gun and he will be dangerous, but not necessarily effective. Like that 5 year old, as Christians we are dangerous to the Kingdom of darkness. Unfortunately, we are not always effective. Why? Because like that 5 year old, we don't realize what we have. We don't realize that the most powerful person on the planet lives inside of us, Holy Spirit.

Now to use the analogy of a rifle, Holy Spirit is the gun and our tongue is the trigger. Holy Spirit gives us the power and authority, but the tongue determines the result.

Holy Spirit never seeks His own glory. Rather, He is always looking to glorify the Son of God. He never works contrary to the Word of God. He is in perfect agreement with the Bible.

Now Holy Spirit works very powerfully with the words of our mouth. Because our words have creative power, if we allow Holy Spirit to empower us, we will literally move in the creative power of God as we speak. Note that I am not saying that we are God, although the Bible does say that we were made in His image. But we have the same ability as God does to create with the words that we speak. Let me explain.

In Mark 11:22, Jesus told His disciples, "...Have faith in God." The original language reads, "...Have the God kind of faith." Now what is the God kind of faith? It is faith that speaks, and things happen. The God kind of faith created the earth and the universe. God spoke, and it was. It explains the Big Bang theory: "God spoke, and [Big Bang!] the universe was created!"

With this power that we carry about with us, if we don't know how to use our gun, we will be like that 5 year old with a loaded pistol. We are armed and dangerous. But if we can mature a little and get to know who our enemy is (and I am not talking about flesh and blood here), we will soon become like the Army infantryman or the Navy Seal sniper. We will know our weapon, know how to use it effectively, and be capable of destroying the works of darkness.

On this blog, I will share some of the keys to effective prayer that will make us armed and dangerous to the Kingdom of darkness on the earth and in the heavenly realms.
