No matter how strong your faith is, it’s easy to feel discouraged because of constant financial struggles, health challenges, and strained relationships.
Maybe you wrestle with a lack of peace, low motivation to read the Bible or pray consistently, or little depth and quality in the time you do spend in study and prayer.
And maybe you’ve learned to accept all of these as normal, everyday struggles that believers face in this sinful world.
Or maybe you regularly live and breathe some of the realest, most frightening manifestations of spiritual warfare that the average believer may never experience and that no one would consider everyday or normal.
But what if I told you that all of these symptoms are rooted in the same problem, thus, they all have the same solution?
Here’s an unfamiliar truth:
NOT ALL TRIALS ARE EQUAL!
While Christ promised that we would face tribulation in this world that He allows to refine us as gold in the fire, many of the most debilitating and frustrating trials that we accept as commonplace have NOT been ordained by God.
These are unnecessary struggles caused by unwarranted access that Satan has in our lives. When we embrace God’s discernment to effectively wield His weapons of spiritual warfare, we can remove that access and, as a result, limit or eliminate those trials.
My name is Darien Claxton, author of the Bending Bows of Bronze devotional series, and no matter what struggles you’re dealing with right now, this book can teach you from the Word of God how to level up your warfare against the enemy from defensive To offensive, from passive to aggressive, and from victim to victor.
By His grace, these Bible truths will revolutionize your prayer life, transform your words and actions, change the way you combat life’s trials, and enhance your relationship with God and others.
Throughout this journey, you’ll discover how to acquire, sharpen, and wield all twelve of God’s mighty weapons of offensive and defensive warfare, many of which we don’t use at all, and most that we don’t use to their full capabilities. You’ll also learn how to repel Satan’s weapons, some of which we wield ourselves to our own detriment, and some that are used against us with devastating effects.
You’ll gain invaluable perspective from Bible case studies that will reveal vital warfare essentials and actionable battle strategies for thriving spiritually in battle.
At the end of each day, you’ll have questions in our Introspection section that will give you the opportunity to prayerfully examine yourself and create roadmaps to your spiritual breakthrough,
Then we cap off each chapter with a Battle text, a relevant Bible passage that you can use as part of your prayer, as an affirmation, and as a divine encouragement to use to combat the enemy.
My friend, consider this book not as a standalone manual on spiritual warfare but rather a guide that points you to the true authority, the Word of God, and its Author, our Heavenly Father. When you allow this devotional to strengthen your connection with Him, He will teach your hands to make war so that your arms can bend bows of bronze, counteract Satan’s onslaught against you in battle, and ultimately subdue the enemy under your feet in every area of your life.
Let’s fight to win...for the glory of God!
You have also given me the shield of Your salvation; Your gentleness has made me great.
You enlarged my path under me; so my feet did not slip.
I have pursued my enemies and destroyed them; neither did I turn back again till they were destroyed.
And I have destroyed them and wounded them, so that they could not rise; they have fallen under my feet.
For You have armed me with strength for the battle; you have subdued under me those who rose against me.”
2 Samuel 22:35-40
In Each Devotional, You'll Discover:
Book 1: Teaching Your Hands To Make War
Book 2: Armed With Strength For Battle
Book 3: Subdue The Enemy Under Your Feet

1. SUCCESS OF ANY TYPE IS MEASURED IN TIME MORE THAN AMOUNT.
No matter how unsatisfied you may be with your weight, blood sugar level, amount of body pain, energy level, your issue isn't one of mere health as much as the time it takes to get and stay healthy. If you can fast-track achieving your optimal health and become free from Type 2 Diabetes in one month instead of one year or more, that's true, life-changing success.
2. TO BECOME SUCCESSFUL FASTER, you must reject the DIY mentality and learn from people WHO HAVE ACHIEVED WHAT YOU WANT TO ACHIEVE.
Every year, month, week, day that you are shackled with this disease and not living at the level of thriving health that God has called you to live is COSTING you. How much? You're paying for it in medications (and their side effects) that you don't need to be taking every day, doctor and hospital visits, quality time with your family, and sheer availability to the ones you love. To achieve results faster, you must get intentional about learning how to ditch Type 2 Diabetes for good from someone who's been there, done that, and can show you the principles, strategies, and tactics of what works and what does NOT work.
The second best time is RIGHT NOW.
Stop paying the cost of inaction, of merely existing instead of flourishing in your health, of clawing and scratching trying to figure this out on your own...
Dive into this transformational book and let's get you on the fast track to thriving in your health like you were created to thrive!
ARE YOU READY TO BREAK UP WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES FOR GOOD!
