Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. Galations 6:2
I'm going to take us back a couple of decades to my college years. When I was a student at Moody Bible Institute, anytime one of us sisters was in need of some serious prayer, my girlfriends and I would say "Strap on your stilettos girls!" We coined the phrase during an all night meeting of the sisterhood. We all agreed that it would be beyond fantastic to be able to physically stomp all over the devil. Strap on some high heel shoes as a bonus, and we're ready to have a holy hootinanny all over his face!
That's impossible you say? Well allow me to explain the finer points of devil stomping. Just envision in your mind how ticked off the devil gets when brothers and sisters in Christ pray for one another, take up each others burdens, or when a believer shares their faith with someone and that person comes to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. 1 John 4:4
We are called to be Jesus with skin on and my God is no light weight! My God can move mountains through me, and you too, if only we have faith the size of a mustard seed.
He replied, "Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you." Matthew 17:20
Well what do you do now that you've strapped on your stilettos and you're ready for the fight? There are a myriad of ways to stomp on the devil and be Jesus with skin on. Take a burdened sister out to breakfast or lunch. Get a group together to meet intentionally to pray with or for someone. Meet someone else's need either physically or financially. Share your faith with a coworker. Have someone over for dinner, even if you just order pizza. In today's fast paced world there is no greater manifestation of love than taking time for one another. Drop a note of encouragement in the mail for no reason at all. You get the idea, random acts of sisterhood.
I meet my accountability partners one morning every week in the prayer room at my church to strap on our stilettos and pray for one another and our loved ones. We have seen prayer after prayer answered in miraculous ways. So get out there and get your stomp on girl! God honors intentional obedience, but don't forget your stilettos! Trust me when I tell you my shoes have no dust on them and yours shouldn't either.
