• THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT – KINGDOM ARMOR OF GOD #8

    Daily putting on the armor of God is a declaration of alignment with Him and His kingdom. Every piece of armor is found in relationship with Jesus. When we pray on the full armor of God, we are effectively putting on Christ, clothing ourselves in all of Him.

    Take hold of the sword of the Spirit which is the word of God!

    In putting on the armor, have you stopped short of the Sword?

    The only weaponry having the spiritual fire power and authority to confront and destroy works of darkness in the spiritual realm is the Word of God. The word used here is rhema, the spoken, activated and revealed word of God. When your heart hears this word, it is quickened to the power of it, to either strike down or build up, to condemn or restore.

    With Sword of the Spirit we condemn and dismantle the works of darkness. And with this sword we restore and release kingdom order, redemption and liberation.

    For the Word of God is quick and powerful, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to dividing asunder soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It judges the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight; everything is uncovered and exposed before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account. Hebrews 12:4-5

    Soul is psyche. It is subject to sin. The Spirit is incorruptible. 

    The Sword of the spirit is not to kill but to divide asunder, tear apart, discern and separate light from dark, good from evil, right from wrong, corruptible from incorruptible. No mixture is safe from the sword of the Spirit. The word exposes the corruptible and separates it from the incorruptible.

    If by the Spirt you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live, because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons and daughters of God. Romans 8:13-14

    God’s Word in its every expression, is the ultimate kingdom weaponry to destroy enemy strongholds, schemes and structures. Like a laser, the Word is our direct energy weapon in the spiritual realm to defeat, overcome the enemy and recover what has been stolen in the natural realm.
