Made for W.A.R. is a weekly devotional/Bible study the Lord had me write during a time of great trial and learning to trust and rely totally upon Him. The acronym W.A.R. – Wisdom and Revelation – came from a tape I heard of Dutch Sheets at a conference in New York City. The Holy Spirit told me that according to His word in 2 Timothy 2:1-4 we have all been made soldiers in the army of God. We are to endure hardships (trials and tribulations) and not to entangle ourselves with the affairs of this world. God has chosen us to be His soldiers. Soldiers are made for W.A.R. That is their reason for being. As we seek more and more of God’s Wisdom and Revelation for our lives our enemy becomes more and more threatened. The more we know about who we are, whose we are and what we are here to do the more damage we can do to him and his kingdom and the more equipped we become to advance the Kingdom of God. In Hebrews 4:12 it says, “For the word of God [is] quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged 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.” God’s Word is compared to a two-edged sword i.e. double the striking surface. It is a very deadly weapon in the right hands. Wisdom and Revelation are the two edges of the “sword of the spirit, which is the word of God” mentioned in Ephesians 6:17. It’s all we need to tear down strongholds, cast out demons, set captives free and do all that Jesus promised us and more. My hope is that when you have finished with this devotional you will know who you are, Whose you are and that you will be more equipped to take on whatever task the Lord has for you. May you receive the fullness of His Wisdom and Revelation in your preparations for W.A.R.
