Sword of the Spirit
|
"For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any
two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing assunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints
and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."
--- Hebrews 4:12
The Bottom Line
The Sword of the Spirit is the Word of God breathed from our spirits and released from
our mouths, mingled with and energized by the breath or Spirit of God, causing it to be
filled with His divine life and ability.
The written Word (graphe) was given by the inspiration of God (II Timothy 3:16-17,
II Peter 1:21). The
Living Word (logos) is Jesus. (John 1:1-3, Luke 1:35, Hebrews 4:12)
Jesus said in John 6:63
"the words that I speak (rhema) unto you, they are spirit, and they are life."
By speaking the Word, your words become energized (zoe).
(Hebrews 4:12).
John writes in Revelation 1:16: "And He (Jesus) had in his right hand seven stars; and out
of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword; and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his
strength." Thus Jesus, who is the Word (logos) according to John 1:1, speaks (rhema) forth His Word which
is sharper than a two-edged sword (Hebrews 4:12); His Word shall not return unto
Him void, but it shall accomplish that which He pleases according to Isaiah 55:11.
Therefore
by speaking and praying the Word of God (our sword of the spirit), strongholds are broken down
in the heavenlies.
Just as Jesus the living Word (logos) defeated Satan at Calvary, the spoken word (rhema) now
enforces that victory. Remember, it is not the Sword of the Spirit until you speak it!
