Physical Gestures, Spiritual Impact

Ephesians 6:17
ESV
17 and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,

Today I want you to make a powerful gesture. Have some scriptures and prayer points that are personal to you. You know your battles. You know what lies are attacking your mind, what seems to be overcoming you and what strongholds you have. Begin to imagine your hand as a mighty sword and declare with faith that whatever is contrary to God's word, declares God's word before it and use your hand to show that you're breaking that lie. Breaking that chain and refusing it.

Whenever I imagine my hand like a sword, I imagine the battles, the attacks and all being cut into pieces because spiritually it's happening!

Clap your hand and say No. Refuse the lies and say no. What you're doing physically might seem silly but spiritual I imagine the mighty sword and with truth, with the power of the tongue that brings life and with the power of Jesus the Word Himself, I imagine that stronghold to be breaking, cracking and being destroyed. If you do this you're beginning to walk in faith. Trusting that whatever you feel is holding you bound is now being destroyed. That whatever demons you're facing are fleeing because you hold a sword of fire and every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord and if Jesus is the Word and is God, then so every chain shall be broken by that very name!
