The Sword Of The Spirit
The Sword of the Spirit, a living weapon. Most Christians don't realize how powerful Scripture is when we believe in our hearts and speak it aloud. Some People read The Holy Bible as a normal book, or neglect to read it at all. They call it "The Word of God," but sometimes it's been treated as common.
Supernatural Scriptures are a supernatural weapon.
The word of God is living and powerful,and sharper than any two-edged sword, Mark 11:24
The whole armor of God found in Ephesians 6: be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in heavenly places. Therefore, take up the whole armor of God.
Part of that armor is;
The sword of the Spirit.
Believing Is Receiving
God gave us an advantage over our enemy. Many Bible instructions are just read over without being put into practice. Some believers don't pay attention to specific words as they read their Bibles, but it's basic training.
The first Instruction:
Mark 11:24 "Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them."
"You will have them", "will" is a positive statement that could involve a time element. Abraham had to wait years to see the fulfillment of his promised seed, Isaac. But on one occasion, Daniel got an answer while he was still praying. Don't be swayed by time, God said, you will have them. God can't lie.
Believe you receive WHEN you pray, not when you see it fulfilled; this is a key.
And the truth is, you have received it when you pray, in the spiritual realm.
The Spiritual Realm is Real
On another occasion, Danial's prayer was answered immediately.
But it took the messenger, the angel Gabriel, 21 days to deliver the message.
He was hindered by the "prince of the kingdom of Persia, and had to call on the warrior Michael the Archangel to get past him. See Daniel10:12,13,14.
Some things can happen that we know not of. But if we don't see the answer right away, we must not faint; we must keep believing. Galatians 6:9 says;
"For in due season we shall reap, if we faint not".
Belief is the action word of faith. Faith is a substance that effectively brings answers from the spiritual realm into our physical realm through belief.
There is more to be understood; we'll pick it up on another page.
Speak It Out Loud
The next step;
The Word of God is living and powerful. Think about how God created the world. He said, Let there be and there was. We are created in His image. Scripture tells us. If you confess with your mouth and believe in your heart, you will....
Speak God's will out loud. Find a promise of God that you can stand on when you pray. For example, we know that it’s God's will for people to be saved, for us to prosper, to be healed, to be blessed, to have victory over sin, and so on.
When you know it's God's will, you can speak it out with confidence.
When you believe in your heart without doubt and speak it from your lips, your Words become a powerful spiritual weapon that pierces the atmosphere around you and makes demons shudder in fear.
Remember when you first believed in the Lord Jesus?
I remember when I was very young, my mom told me the story about God and how Jesus died for my sins and He rose again.
I remember thinking deeply about what she told me. And I decided to believe it, and it was settled in my heart. It wasn't emotional; it was a decision. It was childlike faith.
At that moment, I was born again, and I felt His presence with me. I simply believed without doubt and confessed it with my lips.
“The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach):that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." Romans10:8-9
It's as simple as when we first believed in the Lord Jesus. You don't have to work up to an emotional state. It is not about what you feel. It starts with what you choose to believe.
It doesn't matter how long or short you have been a child of God; you have the power of God behind you. You can learn how to wield the sword and use it effectively.
Wielding: to skillfully handle or employ weapons that often symbolize the exercise of divine authority or spiritual power.
The Rainbow, a Sign God Keeps His Word
To believe the WORD of God is not hard, knowing it's impossible for Him to lie. God literally cannot lie.
Hebrews 6:18" two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us.
Believe Only
The disciples asked Jesus why they couldn't cast a demon out of a boy (Matt 17:20).
Jesus said it was because of unbelief.
There was no lack of faith in the amount they had. Faith is so powerful that the size of a mustard seed could move a mountain. The problem was their unbelief.
Matthew 17:21 "However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting". Prayer and fasting draw your heart near to God. Often, while praying and/or fasting, you can quiet yourself enough to receive revelations and an understanding of God's Word.
"Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you."James 4:8.
The more you get to know about Him, the easier it is to believe.
Understanding this can pave the way for answered prayer and is essential in your fight against spiritual warfare. When you speak the Word of God, you join the great biblical voices that rang out over the years doing God's will.
There are many more revelations that are related to this subject. The sword of the Spirit is only one part of the armor God gave us to fight and win the spiritual war. We will be studying the whole armor of God in the pages ahead.

God Bless You.
