THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT

Live Behind The Veil

Summary:

A part of the spiritual armor of the believer is the sword of the Spirit. As the we speak God’s Word by the Holy Spirit, the anointing in that Word divides between soul and spirit, joints and marrow and brings forth that word in the power of God.

Takeaway:

As we give ourselves wholly to God’s Word, it penetrates our hearts, dividing from soul and spirit, joints and marrow and judges the issues in our hearts. This same Word then becomes within us His sword that the Holy Spirit can bring forth in the power of the Spirit as we speak it forth to do His will in the earth.
