The Sword of the Spirit (Part II)

The Sword of the Spirit – Your outfit

Ephesians 6 V 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;

The Sword of the Spirit – The Word of God 

2 Timothy 3:16 (Amplified Bible) 16 Every Scripture is God-breathed (given by His inspiration) and profitable for instruction, for reproof and conviction of sin, for correction of error and discipline in obedience, [and] for training in righteousness (in holy living, in conformity to God’s will in thought, purpose, and action)

AND

Hebrews 4:12 (Amplified Bible)12For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power [making it active, operative, energizing, and effective]; it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the [a]breath of life (soul) and [the immortal] spirit, and of joints and marrow [of the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart.

You will do well if you can meditate on the scriptures above; for we see the importance of our bible study in 2 Timothy 3:16 also the benefit of our bible study as well as the source of the Holy bible. Hebrews 4:12 shows us the power that comes from knowing the Word of God as it makes it active in our daily living only if we know this Word of God.

The facts are that the Word of God is TRUE, more than any physical situation that human beings can see. Hebrews 11:3 explains that the world was put together by the Word of God so that all the things we now physically see were created by the spoken Word of God.

We need to get to a stage in our life where we will meditate on the Word of God day and night and not allow the understanding and practise of the Word to depart from us like God instructed Joshua. Joshua’s reward was a prosperous living with wisdom and good success.  

You can achieve this status in life by continuous study and practice of what we read, not practising what you read will make us remain a child who, though may have been given dominion is slave to those he should be master over Galatians 4:1-7. But fully grown, we should practice what we read and meditate on daily so that we can become what God created us to be Hebrews 5:11-14.

Pray the Word (Acts 4:24-31), Preach the Word (Acts 13:38-43), Use the word (Acts 13:46-48), Sing the Word (Acts 16), Daily quiet times memorizing the Word (Joshua 1:8)
