SOAP
Being in God’s Word daily is a necessary component in being prepared for WAR.
Having time in the Word of God daily will equip you as a Man of God to fight against the schemes of the enemy’s attacks. You will also be able to readily share with those around you the truths that you have learned and are desperately trying to apply to your life. This is when you can be used by God, to point others truthfully back to Him. Not by your own words, but by the Word of God that now dwells within you. You are then on a daily mission to speak these truths over other’s lives, including your own first!
As a part of MAKEWAR, you will be expected to read God’s word each day and journal it down. To keep each other accountable, we will all send in our journal entry (SOAP) each day via a group message. As always, grace is involved, but the point of this is to be held to the standard of God’s Word, which He has called us to.
Here is how these journal entries, or SOAP’s go:
S-cripture
We pray, invite the Holy Spirit and read your scripture for today. Write it in a journal, the verse(s) that stand out most to you.
O-bservation
Why does this verse(s) that you wrote down stand out to you?
What does this scripture teach you about the character of God?
Write these thoughts in your journal.
A-pplication

What can you do with this information?

P-rayer
How do you want to respond to God about what you have learned? Thank Him, pray that the scripture you read will have an impact on your life this very day.
Write your prayers in your journal.
