Take Up the Sword of the Spirit Which is the Word of God
I’ve just read hundred of comments of people struggling with real-life situations. Your comments have touched my heart. This video is to help you take up the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God and fight with God’s promises and Biblical truth.
In the last 3 videos, I’ve talked about:
• How To Let God Restore the Wasted Years of Your Life!
• How God can transform your pain into something beautiful – (like Jesus’ character)
• And How Knowing the truth can set you free from guilt or shame
IN your comments: Some of you have said “pray for me.” And I want to assure you, my wife and I have prayed over you and your situations. Some of you said “It’s too late for me.” I assure you, it isn’t. Some of you have replied in anger. I understand, you are in pain – emotionally and maybe physically too. I had severe pain in my spine for over 10 years. I really do have some idea of what you may be going through.
The 3 videos above each describe battles you can win. But Satan doesn’t give up ground easily. God is on your side. But you need to fight. For yourself. For your family. And for other people.
You have been attacked. Physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. God gives us armor and the shield of faith to protect us. (Ephesians 6:10-18) But you have to put it on.
Ephesians 6:10-18 TPT
Today, We Fight
The armor of God has one offensive Weapon: the Word of God. Pick it up. Don’t ever put it down. Your Bible is the Sword of God. It is the Sword of the Holy Spirit.
The Power of God’s Word
Isaiah 55:10-11 NIV
When God opens his mouth He sends forth words to accomplish what He desires, to fulfill His purposes. God's word completes God’s work. In the beginning, God spoke everything into existence. He still does.
Jesus Spoke God’s Word to Defeat Satan – You Can Too!
Holy Spirit led Jesus into the desert. Satan came into the desert to tempt Jesus who was weak from 40 days of fasting.
Satan twisted scripture into lies to deceive and tempt Jesus. Jesus had the same answer to every temptation: “It is written” and a Bible verse. Bible truth defeated Satan every time. (John 4:1-11)
Jesus frequently spoke to problems, commanding them to submit to God’s will. He cast out demons with words. He commanded sickness to leave.
He spoke “Peace, be still.” to the wind and waves during a terrifying storm while on a small boat in the Sea of Galilee. (see Mark 4:39)
Jesus told us if we speak to the mountain (whatever it is in our lives that we want removed) and believed, God would remove it for us. See Mark 11:23.
When we declare scripture we are speaking to the mountain (the problem) that needs to be removed from our lives. And God does it!
Jesus was Given All Authority. He gave His Authority to You.
See Matthew 28:18-20 NIV
A King’s Decree
When a king decrees a thing, all the might, power, and resources of His kingdom are behind those words. His servants, his soldiers, his resources, and all the king’s power are used to make sure what the King said will happen. If the King's words are opposed, the King's army goes forth to fight for those words and make them happen.
God's words - His promises, His principles, and His decrees may be opposed. They may even be delayed, but if we fight alongside Heaven, God's Words will come to pass.
Watch the Activation for practical steps to put God's promises to work for you.
2 Scriptures to help you stand firm in your battle:
Joshua 23:14 NIV
Hebrews 6:11-13 NET
I pray that each of you will through faith and perseverance cling to the hope God’s Word (His decrees) give and receive the fulfillment of the promise of God’s Word in your lives. In Jesus name. Amen.
