The Word of God Is A Weapon!

 ‘And take the helmet of salvation and the Sword of the Spirit, which is the WORD OF GOD’ (Ephesians 6:17).

The Word of God is a weapon to use in our lives.  Use against the devil, against sickness and over all negative situations contrary to the Word of God.  Heb 4:12 says, ‘for the Word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.’  God’s Word in your mouth is living and active; it is powerful and life; it is like a sword or like a knife to cut things off. 

It is a weapon you use against sickness.  How can you use God’s Word as a weapon over sickness?  First see what God’s Word says about your sickness and agree with God and say it.  Confess and declare over your body.  God’s Word works as a weapon to uproot, remove or cut anything God has not planted in your body.  1 Peter 2:24 says, ‘who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness – BY WHOSE STRIPES YOU WERE HEALED.’  Jesus has already borne your sickness, infirmities and diseases on His body.  It is by His stripes comes the healing to your body.  But how can you put this to work or activate this legal Truth to vitalize your mortal body?  Christianity begins with confession of our faith.  How do you get saved? 

The Bible says in Romans 10:9,10, ‘ 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.  For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.’  The Law to receive Salvation is to believe the Son of God and confess Him as the Lord over Your life and you will be saved.  If you believe what God has said about your sickness in His Word, then you declare that Word in agreement. 

The Bible says in Mark 11:22-23, ‘so Jesus answered and said to them, ‘Have faith in God.  For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says this mountain, ‘be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, HE WILL HAVE WHATEVER HE SAYS.’  You will get what you say is the Spiritual Law here.  Search the Scriptures and treasure and retain them in your heart.  If it is not in your heart then it will not come out of your mouth.

It is a weapon of warfare against the devil. 2 Cor 10: 3-5 says, ‘ for though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high things that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.’  You use the Word of God as a weapon against the devil.  When he brings thoughts, pictures of fear, doubt, death or any negative things contrary to the Word of God, you reject those thoughts, renouncing them and speak the Word against those thoughts and images.  You uproot those negative thoughts against the knowledge of God and bring them to the obedience of Christ.

It is a shield of faith!  Ephesians 6:16 says, ‘above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.’  You use the Word as your shield to quench his plots to undermine your faith.  It is your faith that overcomes the world.  Refuse to cower under pressure! Fight a good fight of faith every day You hold the shield of faith by speaking God’s Word of faith.   The Weapon is in your mouth.  Use it by faith! Put it to work in your life by declaring them over any negative situation or challenge you may face in your life. 

Any weapon not used will be rusty and become blunt.  Meditate God’s Word and the Holy Spirit will appropriate them at the right time for you to speak.  Glory to God!  Hallelujah! Amen.  Our fight is spiritual and the weapon we use for the fight also spiritual.  God’s Word is that Weapon!

Confess With me:

God’s Word in my mouth works like a weapon to quench the fiery darts of the enemy throws against me.  By the Word of God I uproot and cancel the plantation of the enemy.  I reign over every negative circumstance.  I am victorious and more than a conqueror in Christ.  In Jesus’ mighty Name.  Amen.
