One weapon available to us as soldiers in God’s army which
is honoured in Heaven, on earth and beneath the earth, and a weapon that can
never fail us is the name of Jesus. Another weapon we must always use is the
sword of the Spirit which is the word of God. Whenever God’s word is correctly
applied to a given situation, the Holy Spirit skillfully uses the sword to
deliver victory in that situation.
Hebrews 4:12 says,
“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper
than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and
spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and
intents of the heart.
The word of God is spirit and alive. It is full of power,
extremely sharp and operates in every plane of existence - physical, spiritual,
intellectual, psychological, physiological, financial, biological, etc. It is
not limited by time and space, so it can be sent to address a problem in the
past or create a good outcome in the future. The word of God can affect the
tripartite constituents of man — spirit, soul and body. The word discerns the
thoughts and plans of the human heart just like the Holy Spirit searches Out
the thoughts and plans in God’s heart (1Corinthians 2:9-1 1). If you are
conversant with the word by learning it, memorising it, meditating on it,
preaching it to win souls regularly and obeying it, whenever you apply it to a
situation, it will surely give you results. In fact when you preach it, it will
search the hearts of your hearers and give you feedback. This is why at some
point, you will be speaking out their hearts and they will think somebody who
knows them has gone to tell you about them. Nobody told you. It is just the
word in action! Never joke with the Bible! It is more than a literature book.
It is more than just the world’s bestselling book. It is not just men’s words
but was scripted by the Holy Spirit. The word written by the Spirit is made
spirit whenever the Holy Spirit takes it over. Draw closer to the word of God
so that you can be more victorious.
“But God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit: for the
Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.” 1Corinthians 2:10
It takes you being under God’s authority to
operate by His authority
