Weapons of Mass Deliverance

WMDs


For so long weapons of war were designed to inflict damage directly to individuals with swords, spears, and projectiles that would wound a single opponent at a time. With the development of explosives, however, there has been an expanse of impact to mass destruction from smaller grenades to nuclear bombs that destroy anything within their range of devastation. As this has developed militarily, it reflects a similar strategy in the spiritual realm. While individual divisions of strife and condemnation can be harmful on a small scale, there is a larger spirit of offense and judgment that threatens to overwhelm large groups within its proximity. This spirit is one that is threatening to destabilize our great nation which was founded on unity under God. Instilling an embrace of entitlement and offense has caused a spread of destructive dissent that will destroy and condemn what was once a free and forgiving society.

As expressed in Jesus' prayer of John 17 for unity, we have received in His sacrificed life an opportunity to wreak havoc on the evil scheme of unforgiveness that is the world’s harmful trend. In each heart that is made new in Him is the installation of a weapon that will affect much more than just those in close proximity. Rather than participating in fault finding and its impending condemnation to separation, the mercy we’ve received in the embrace of the Father transforms us into weapons of His grace that spread an attraction to Him wherever we go. It’s in this transformation to seeing people joined with God rather than undeserving of Him that truly knowing Him can have a wide impact. It’s against this Weapon of Mass Deliverance that the gates of hell will be rendered inept and ineffective. The new creation we become is one with a mission in His body of widespread “God’s-goodness” proclamation. His glory will cover the earth through those who are one with Him in mercy, forgiveness, and love.


Notes


Transformation – from offended to menders of offense

2 Corinthians 5:16-19 (HCSB) 16 From now on, then, we do not know anyone in a purely human way. Even if we have known Christ in a purely human way, yet now we no longer know Him in this way. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away, and look, new things have come. 18 Everything is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19 That is, in Christ, God was reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed the message of reconciliation to us.


Our words minister God’s spirit/purpose

Isaiah 57:19 (NKJV) 19 “I create the fruit of the lips: Peace, peace to him who is far off and to him who is near,” Says the LORD, "And I will heal him."


Evidence of love/mercy received – a commotion of love/mercy in the spirit


Minister

  • Adjusted purpose from self to others
  • Loaded to be used
  • Always on
  • Everyone

Being joined with Christ produces righteousness

Colossians 1:19-23 (NKJV) 19 For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, 20 and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross. 21 And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled 22 in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight— 23 if indeed you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and are not moved away from the hope of the gospel which you heard, which was preached to every creature under heaven, of which I, Paul, became a minister.


The victory of Christ in us – a massive impact

2 Corinthians 2:14 (HCSB) 14 But thanks be to God, who always puts us on display in Christ and through us spreads the aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place.


The power of God’s delivering presence covers the whole earth.

Habakkuk 2:14 (NKJV) 14 For the earth will be filled With the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, As the waters cover the sea.


Overview

Prayer

I am completely overwhelmed and moved by the power of Your love and mercy towards me. Fill me with the same heart You have for me with those same expressions and vision that delivered me in its glory. Form in me Your own special weapon of mass deliverance for Your fulfilled passion of union with those in need of forgiveness in Your embrace.

Declarations

  • Because of God’s love in forgiveness towards me I have received, not what I deserved, but newness of life through Christ’s sacrifice.
  • In the revelation of this reality, I can no longer be a part of imprisoning condemnation, but become a weapon of God’s goodness in all I do and say.
  • Everywhere I go becomes the platform for sharing what I have freely received.
  • The darkness of sin’s bondage around me is flooded with light that leads to an embrace with the Father as I am faithful to walk in it myself.
  • The impact of my transformation is joined with His other forces to cover the whole world with mercy-filled glory.
