“Buildrior” Vision
God has been giving and unveiling a vision, slowly since February. The vision began with God showing me that I was the “Buildrior” (builder/warrior) in Nehemiah 4:17, working to rebuild my temple walls with one hand while having to wield the Sword with the other, being ready to fight off enemy attacks at the same time. (My body being the temple of the Holy Spirit, 1 Corinthians 6:19. The sword is the Sword of the Spirit, the Word of God, Ephesians 6:17 and Hebrews 4:12. You use the Sword by decreeing the Word of God, speaking it with force and great strength.)
Everything Holy Spirit gives is treasure in the temple (Ephesians 1:18). And the stones in the wall are New Testament directions. Keeping these numerous commands doesn’t get you salvation or the treasure, but builds your temple strong to protect you and the treasure from the enemy, the great liar and deceiver (John 8:44), who comes to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10).
The legs symbolize the joy and strength of the LORD (Nehemiah 8:10, Isaiah 26:4), which upholds. The sandals represent action (1 Peter 5:9), without which faith is dead and void (James 2:17-26) and the Word of God has no effect (must be believed and acted on). The soles are the blood of Jesus, which tread on and overcome the enemy (Revelation 12:11).
I am clothed in hope (Romans 5:5). Therefore, the Buildrior is named Faith and is the embodiment of faith, because faith is putting hope into action (Hebrews 11:1).
The headband is Isaiah 50:7 and represents perfect peace (Isaiah 26:3, Philippians 4:7).
My sash is a spirit of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7, Ephesians 6:10, 1 Corinthians 13:2), and the headband stands for perfect peace (Isaiah 26:3, Philippians 4:7).
In the building hand, there is a trowel. The trowel is my voice, and knowledge is the handle (you have to both know God and how to use your voice to be beneficially effective.) Beside me, is a bucket of mortar, which represents my words. (My thoughts are the main ingredient comprising the mortar, Philippians 4:8.) The words I speak can either build the wall strong, making it impenetrable, or weaken the wall, causing the stones to become loose, unstable, and likely crumble out, giving the enemy a foothold to scale the wall and get into the temple (John 10:10). The bucket itself is symbolic of grace, which should surround every word spoken (Colossians 4:6)
Around my waist is a tool belt, which is revelation (Ephesians 1:17-18) — necessary for using spiritual tools and weapons.
There are two weapons — the sword of the Spirit (detailed above) and a bag of stones with a slingshot. The weapons must be used by Faith (the Buildrior) to be purposely effective. The stones are the names of Jesus, declarations about who God is (His nature/character, His promises, and what He has done), affirmations about who I am, and commands-- all being hurled at enemy when spoken with power and authority (the slingshot, which takes practice).
There are tools, along with the weapons, in the tool belt:
• Tongues (Jude 20-21)
• Praise (Psalm 22:3, 2 Chronicles 20:22)
• Prayer (Ephesians 6:14)
