Alexandrite- Guardian Stone of Victory.

Philippians 2:12-18, “Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.

Do all things without complaining and disputing, that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast the word of life, so that I may rejoice in the day of Christ that I have not run in vain or labored in vain.

Yes, and if I am being poured out as a drink offering on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all. For the same reason you also be glad and rejoice with me.”

Victory is a state of mind and an attitude that can dictate our life’s purpose, calling, and destiny. Achieving victory is not easy and each of us faces various challenges on our journey to success. This is why alexandrite-known as the guardian stone of victory-is so important in today’s world.

Alexandrite represents energy, courage, victory, and righteous anger but also concentration, power and wisdom. It reflects the importance of knowing that you’re not fighting for victory but from an already achieved it; The horse is prepared for the day of battle, but the real victory belongs to the Lord. Alexandrite reminds us that we are all called to live with faith and trust in God even when faced with obstacles and challenges.

Proverbs 21:21-31, “He who follows righteousness and mercy Finds life, righteousness, and honor. A wise man scales the city of the mighty and brings down the trusted stronghold. Whoever guards his mouth and tongue Keeps his soul from troubles.

A proud and haughty man— “Scoffer” is his name; He acts with arrogant pride. The desire of the lazy man kills him, for his hands refuse to labor. He covets greedily all day long, But the righteous gives and does not spare. The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination; How much more when he brings it with wicked intent!

A false witness shall perish, But the man who hears him will speak endlessly. A wicked man hardens his face, but as for the upright, he establishes his way. There is no wisdom or understanding or counsel against the Lord. The horse is prepared for the day of battle, but deliverance is of the Lord.”

Alexandrite is known as the guardian stone of victory. It is our 17th step on our journey toward our purpose and destiny in life with God through Jesus Christ. The reminder that we are fighting from victory through Him, and it will ultimately be His to grant. He provides us with what we need to fight our battles and it is He who decides the victor in the end. This stone symbolizes faith, strength and courage in God, knowing that it takes all three to pursue the call He has laid out for each of us.

Deuteronomy 32:34-38, “‘Is this not laid up in store with Me, Sealed up among My treasures? Vengeance is Mine, and recompense; Their foot shall slip in due time; For the day of their calamity is at hand, And the things to come hasten upon them.’

“For the Lord will judge His people and have compassion on His servants, When He sees that their power is gone, and there is no one remaining, bond or free. He will say: ‘Where are their gods, The rock in which they sought refuge? Who ate the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offering? Let them rise and help you and be your refuge.”

The path to following our divine destiny is long and arduous. However, with the assistance of a guardian stone like Alexandrite we can be reminded of God’s unwavering will for us to overcome all obstacles in our lives. With its power and grace, Alexandrite is believed to be the stone of victorious courage, arming us with strength and courage to face the battles that lie ahead. Moreover, it serves as a reminder that our ultimate victory lies in the Lord’s all-powerful gifts; just as horses are prepped for battle, but victory belongs only to Him. So, rally with this reminder, backed by the strength of Alexandrite- “you are not fighting for victory, but from victory, for Jesus Christ has already defeated Satan!“

Deuteronomy 20:1-4, “When you go out to battle against your enemies and see horses and chariots and people more numerous than you, do not be afraid of them; for the Lord your God is with you, who brought you up from the land of Egypt. So it shall be, when you are on the verge of battle, that the priest shall approach and speak to the people.

And he shall say to them, ‘Hear, O Israel: Today you are on the verge of battle with your enemies. Do not let your heart faint, do not be afraid, and do not tremble or be terrified because of them; for the Lord your God is He who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.’

1 John 5:1-8, “Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves Him who begot also loves him who is begotten of Him. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome. For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world— our faith.

Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? This is He who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ, not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth. For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one.”
