The Word of God- A Sword.

Heb 4:12  For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

'Now given a condition like this in the believer, the teaching in Hebrews 4.12 takes on paramount significance. For the Holy Spirit instructs us therein how to divide spirit and soul experientially. The dividing of these two is not a mere doctrine; it is pre-eminently a life, a must in the believer’s walk. Just what is its essential meaning? It means, first of all, that by His Word and through His indwelling Spirit God enables the Christian to differentiate in experience the operations and expressions of the spirit as distinct from those of the soul. Thus he may perceive what is of the spirit and what is of the soul. '

The WORD OF GOD- is POWERFUL, is SHARPER than ANY TWOEDGED SWORD.  The WORD of GOD can divide the SOUL and SPIRIT. The WORD of GOD  is a DISCERNER of the THOUGHTS and INTENTS of the HEART.

1Jn_2:14 … and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.

1Pe_1:23  Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever

1Th_2:13  For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.

Eph_6:17  And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God

Rom_10:17  So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Luk_11:28  But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.

The Word of God is ALIVE in the SPIRIT and the word of God will reveal to us all that is of the spirit and all that is of the soul and in that revelation we need to listen and act upon what we are shown.

More on this tomorrow by the GRACE and WILL of our LORD and SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST!

Now and forever…. Amen.
