Ephesians 6:14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 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 sword is furnished by the Spirit of God. You can have the word of God… but it takes wielding of the Holy Spirit to make it the sword of the spirit.

 

 

How much is this basketball worth in my hands? 

A wilson official NBA game ball is worth about $200

How much is it worth today in Lebron James hands? 75 Million.

 

How powerful is the word of God in my hands?

How powerful is the word of God in the HS hands?

 

 

WE ARE GURDED WITH THE LOINBELT OF TRUTH. IT HOLDS THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT…

 

CONFUSED? Is the belt OR the sword the word of God?

 

The key word here is TAKE UP GK = Dek-om-ay

To receive or welcome 

Receive and welcome God’s word in the hands of Holy Spirit… 

 

The belt is Gods word… 

The Sword is Gods word spoken by the Holy Spirit 

 

 

WE SEE GREATER CLARIFICATION IN HEB…

Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

2 PEOPLE SPEAKING…?

 

We allow Gods written Word in which we have taken in to be used by the Holy Spirit. We welcome it, we expect it to become a Rhema word. And we see here that we welcome it to divide our thoughts, emotions, will and plans… 

 

Its like this… it is one thing to have your sister tell you to clean up your room. Its a good sentiment, and she means well but it has little impact on you. There is no true motivation to follow through. These are her words… but if she comes into your room and says I just got off the phone with Mom and she said she will be home in 10 minutes and she expects your room to be cleaned or you are grounded… well now there are two mouths speaking. Your sister and your mother. And you guessed it, you will clean your room. 

The more I take in Gods word, the more the Holy Spirit can use it in my life and in my battles. Dolnt walk around with a sheath that has no sword in it for the Holy Spirit to wield. TAKE UP, WELCOME AND RECEIVE THE WORD OF GOD FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT TO USE.
