Almighty Warrior:

Psalm 45:3-5 NIV

3 Gird your sword on your side, you mighty one; clothe yourself with splendour and majesty.4 In

your majesty ride forth victoriously in the cause of

truth, humility and justice; let your right hand

achieve awesome deeds. 5 Let your sharp arrows

pierce the hearts of the king’s enemies; let the nations fall beneath your feet.

Almighty Warrior:

Eph 6:12 : For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but

against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers

of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Eph 6:17: Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

Heb 4:12: For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper

than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing

soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

Rider on a white horse: Revelation 19:11 NKJ

Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and true, and in righteousness He judges and

makes war. 12 His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were

many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except

Himself. 13 He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is

called The Word of God. 14 And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine

linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. 15 Now out of His

mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He

Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of

the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16 And He has on His robe and

on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

“Charles Spurgeon”

“The man of love, rejected and despised. Fiercer

than a lion on His prey is love when once

provoked. When love turns to jealousy, its fires are

like coals of juniper that have a violent flame.

Beware lest you continue to despise. Submit to this

word of His mouth lest you be smitten by His hand.

Be wise when once His hand begins to smite you

lest you have to feel His foot, for it is all over then.

“Charles Spurgeon”

May you and I each have a white horse with which to

follow Christ. But we never shall unless we are His followers

here. We must put on the snow white garments now. The

righteousness of Christ will be given to anyone who

accepts Him and believes in Him. And when your snow

white garments are once on, he will give you the horse of

His sacred strength, and you, even you following in the

track of your Gallant Leaders, shall ride on shouting.

Victory, victory, victory, through the blood of the lamb.”
