If you ever met her you would see a woman full of joy, smiling, laughing, giggling even though her life has had many bumps in the road she is an Overcomer! She lives in Florida now and I had not seen her for years. I tried to contact her this summer because I knew she was visiting Maine to no avail. BUT GOD, when my husband and I visited Pemaquid on a Sunday afternoon, while walking along the shore line overlooking the beautiful waves hitting the rocks I saw this lady sitting on a bench, lo and behold, it was my friend, Lillian. We stood amazed at how God brought us together that day after so long a time of not seeing each other. Here is her poem she wrote and shared with me.

Gormy Fingers, Joyous Heart

by Lillian Saksek June 2009

Gormy Fingers is my Name

Fighting Aging is my Game

What keeps me going is His Grace

Soon I'll look into His Face.

Overcoming is my Name

Honoring Jesus is my Game

The Rewards He promises make me smile,

I'll receive them in awhile.

When this race of earth is done

It will be by His Grace that I've won.

The challenges of this life will seem so small

When into His arms I'll fall.

When I'm soaring through the air

All my loved ones will be there

Glad reunions will take place

As we rejoice in His embrace.

Weapons

For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds. NKV

WEAPONS THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO THE CHILD OF GOD

1. THE BLOOD OF JESUS

Revelation 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.

2. THE NAME OF JESUS

Philippians 2:19b-10 ...the name above every name ..that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those one earth, and of those under the earth.

His Name is all that He Himself is and has. Strongholds of the enemy are demolished when His name is invoked. The devil was defeated at the cross, he is defeated right now by the resurrection and he will be defeated on the day of judgment.

3. THE WORD OF GOD

Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piecing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

4. PRAISE

Acts 16:25 'And at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, ....Suddenly....'

God is in the suddenlies and a great earthquake shook the foundations of the prison and immediately all the doors were opened and every one's chains were loosed.

2 Chronicles 20:22 ...when the people of Judah began to sing and praise, the Lord defeated the enemies.

Today, you may have a battle looming and you need a victory. Stand in the power of the blood of Jesus, and His Name, using the Word of God and Praise Him and see the Victory won!!
