The victory
They overcame him because of the Lamb's blood, and because of the word of their testimony. They didn't love their life, even to death.
Revelation 12:11
Auburn, Indiana
Precious Made New
She does not bow.
A lioness and eight cubs. An open Bible. The cross. She bows to Jesus, and to nothing else.
The mark
Four things. One woman.
The mark is not decoration. It is the life: courage, the household, the Word, and the blood that already won.
01
The lioness
She does not perform courage for a room. She stands because the blood already stood for her.
02
Eight cubs
A mother of eight. The house is not a metaphor she borrowed. She guards what God gave back.
03
An open Bible
Feeling is a poor shepherd. She studies the Word out loud, with women, without a costume.
04
The cross
The victory was not pending. It was sealed. She does not fight for a win. She fights from one.
The house words
Not a soft Christian girl.
Precious Made New is that testimony with a name on it. A woman made new, still standing, still telling the truth.
I'm not a soft Christian girl. I earned my stripes in this fallen world. I know hell up close. I've seen it. I've felt it. I've lived it.
I know my enemy, and he does not bow to nice little girls. He bows to the authority given to me by Jesus Christ.
When I declare it, when I walk in it, when I wage war in prayer — I do not do it timidly. I do it with boldness. With fire. With holy wrath. Because hell isn't petty. Hell is vicious. And I'm not meeting vicious warfare with passive faith.
I will war. And I'll do it with confidence. My victory was already sealed in the Blood.
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony.
Revelation 12:11 · the house words
The house
Made new is not a soft word.
She has known hell up close. Abuse. Addiction. Years that do not dress up well in a testimony. Jesus made a woman — and then a house.
Six years walking in recovery. A Restoration Court graduate. A wife. A mother of eight. The cubs in the mark are not a picture she picked off a shelf.
In Auburn she sits in the Word with women. Lately the circle is in Colossians. Truth, out loud, without the costume.
