TAKE UP YOUR SWORD

Hebrews 4:12 — “For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.”

When I hear the word sword, I instantly think of duels, battles, fighting, and the strong possibility of death to an opponent. In the hand of the right person, a sword is powerful and effective and ensures that you have victory every time. The Roman soldier’s sword was such a weapon, and caused serious damage to the enemy. Because of its sharpness, it was powerful enough to cut the enemy to pieces. The weapon Paul refers to in the aforementioned scripture, is the word of God.

When you embrace the word, and begin to speak it out loud, it will bring healing to your body. When God speaks a word over your life, one side of the sword is manifested. When you receive, then speak the same word that God has spoken to your heart, the other side of the sword comes into play, hence the double-edged sword. The Word is vitally important for your life as you seek to be the victor in the battles you face in your journey.

I leave you with this thought to meditate on: How familiar am I with the Word of God?
