Heb 4:12 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
God’s Word is living because it is spiritual seed, producing oaks of righteousness and enabling us to bear good fruit!
The fact that it is ‘two-edged’ is the character of the Word. It is spirit and truth. If we only have spirit, we can drift off into unsubstantiated ‘other’ territory, but if we are grounded in Scripture, we have balance and a living word. If we only have truth and fail to allow it to live in and through us, then we can become intellectual, religious Christians without the living testimony of His grace and life.
This Sword in our hands is mighty for breaking strongholds, setting the captives free, bringing repentance, hope, building faith and training us in godliness.
Is anyone in need? Ask Jesus to give you Scripture to pray over and for them. Our Lord answered the enemy of our souls with this and he had to flee! Let us feed on the Word so that we will be renewed, strengthened and changed.
Isa 55:10 “For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return there but water the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater,
Isa 55:11 so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.
God bless you!
