Fight 'Em

Super Strength

Wonder Woman is a mythological creature who can fight evil with super strength.

She is not real.

Wonder Women who have put their faith and trust in Jesus Christ are enabled by the power of the Holy Spirit to do just this.

And baby... We are real.

We fight evil with a strength that is not our own.  We fight discouragement, depression, anxiety and grief with power that comes from a source that is SO not of this world.  We fight lies and demons and sin with the REAL weapons of our warfare.

If you don't know what they are, and if you are not putting on your battle gear, how do you expect to do what Wonder Woman does?  How do you expect to be super strong when you know you are weak?  How can you do the hardest things in this life without knowing who you are in Christ and what He has given you by His shed blood on the cross?


If you do not know Jesus, consider learning of Him!  Consider putting down your pride - the possibility that you might have missed something and that you don't actually know it all.  Put down your prejudices about these annoying (and frustrating!) born-again Christians, and do some digging of your own.  Jesus Himself said, "You must be born again."  Can you answer Him?

Ask the Lord.  "How can I be a Wonder Woman in Christ?  Why does all of this seem so weird to me?  The people on t.v. are freaking me out. (Generally, I have to agree.)  And the Bible doesn't make sense; I find it terribly boring.  It seems completely irrelevant to our modern culture,  and I mean -- how can a Book possibly be alive like they say it is?"

Do you think Jesus is uninterested in your questions?  All I can do is ask you to consider Him.  Start a conversation with Him.  Have a little curiosity, for heaven's sake!  Talk to Him alone in your car where no one will hear you.  He already knows you're ashamed of the Gospel!  He wants to show you what the Gospel really means so that you will never, EVER - be ashamed!

Do you have an annoying friend who loves Jesus?  I challenge you to put your annoyances aside and start asking them some questions.  If it begins to feel like they are trying to convert you, let me assure you - - this is an impossibility!  Conversion is the work of the Holy Spirit.  Ima say that again...  Conversion is the work of the Holy Spirit.

 Listen.  We need an army of Wonder Women on their knees, but we don't need you coming in your own strength.

Please...  Stay away.

We need women who are surrendered to the power of the Gospel and its ability to change the world.  We need super strength in these dark days, and we need the power of God on our side.

Please hang in there with me in the coming days, as I help explain what the Gospel means.  (Do you really know?)  We want you to know.  We want you to understand.  We want you with us because...

We need you.  We really, really need you.

For the sake of my child.  For the sake of yours.  For the sake of the whole world and especially...

For the sake of your own soul.

Reach for Jesus, Wonder Woman.

Reach for Him!

2 Corinthians 10:4- "For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh (which means basically, the things of this world) but have divine (Divine!) power to destroy strongholds." (like evil and stuff)


Ephesians 6:10-18- "Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. (NOT your own!)  Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. (The devil has plans for your life!) For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood,  (humans or humankind) but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. (Evil is real, ladies.)  Therefore, take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. (Give no quarter to your enemy!) Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, (about Jesus etc.) and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, (that comes from Christ alone) and as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given the gospel of peace.  (There's that word again..."Gospel.") In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, (Which only God can give to you- you do not work for it.) with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet of salvation (Oh precious, Salvation!) and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, (The Sword of the Spirit WHICH IS THE WORD OF GOD.) praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication.  To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak."
