The Sword of the Spirit

 

For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword; it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Hebrews 4:12

     If you are looking for an answer, look to Scripture. The word of God has the answers to life. When we look into the word, it becomes a mirror to us and as we grow in faith that image should become more and more Christ-like.

     The word is a sword. It can penetrate deep in our hearts changing our attitudes and thoughts. It cuts away old wounds and binds them back up with pure healing. And it is our weapon against evil. Allow God’s word to work in you today. Let it heal your wounds. Let it change your thoughts. Jesus is the word  Scripture contains great power.

Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit which is the word of God. Ephesians 6:17

The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has appointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners.  Isaiah 61:1

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is-His good, pleasing and perfect will.  Romans 12:2

Jesus,

You have the words of eternal life. You renew our minds and transform us through Your words. Let the sword of the Spirit protect us and heal us today.

Amen
