Jesus Christ is your gun.
To begin with, every time I remember that I have survived two assassination attempts so far, but have never been armed with a gun, I realize that Jesus can actually be a weapon. In fact, the only weapons I have used are God our Father, Jesus Christ, and the written word of God in the Bible.
The first time, I survived a man armed with a gun. He was a few meters away from me, but as he was preparing to shoot me, something near me frightened him and he ran away without raising his gun.
The second time was early in the morning, just before dawn. I was walking from my house to a nearby place where I usually parked my car. I was not aware that my movements had already been marked by those who wanted to kill me.
Two assassins were waiting for me to approach their car parked on my path so that they could shoot. When I reached the assassins’ car, something suddenly happened. The two occupants suddenly froze – as if they had been blown away by a very cold wind. They never raised their weapons at me as I quietly passed them.
From these two experiences, I concluded that we can actually use the name of Jesus Christ as a weapon for the following reasons:
God has exalted Jesus’s Name above all names.
Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
Philippians 2:9-11
All authority has been given to Jesus.
Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me“.
Mathew 28:16-18
Jesus Christ is the Lord of all Lords.
On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written:
Whoever calls upon the Name of Jesus Christ will be saved.
For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”[a]
Romans 10:12-13
