The Sword Of The Spirit

For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword - Hebrews 4:12

The word of God, the bible, is the sword of the spirit. (Ephesians 6:17)

It is a double edged sword. One edge is used to cut the devil and his cohorts. It is used for spiritual warfare. Jesus gave us this example in Luke 4. With every lie and temptation the devil brings you, there is a truth in the word of God to speak back to him and cut him to pieces with. Speaking the word of God out loud is not just some from of mind control or positive thinking, it is actually a spiritual weapon that is powerful for bringing down strongholds and resisting the devil. The other edge of that sword is for you. It cuts down past the bone and marrow judging the thoughts and intentions of the heart. It reveals things that need to be changed and it is there for correction and instruction in righteousness. Don't neglect to study, learn to handle and use the word of God. It is one of your weapons to help you be triumphant in life!

Have A Blessed Day
