As I have spoken before, the Word of God is a sword-the sword of the Spirit and like any weapon, a sword is to be wielded fearlessly and boldly-with the best way of expressing being possibly to say in the hands of the greatest warriors, a sword ceases to be a separate entity but it becomes an extension of their will, expressing and effecting his will to permanently deal with his enemy.
The same is true of the Word of God; it is not best served or used as mere one of quotes and random speeches, but it belongs in our mouths to the point where it expresses what we want to see happen. The Word must be spoken for as Paul says in 2 Corinthians 4:13, “We believe and therefore we speak” and in another place “So speak and so act as those who will be judged by the perfect law of liberty”
God has never done something in the Word before speaking it first; to create the world, he spoke and to curse man to death He spoke. He spoke to Abraham about a son before executing this and to Job, He spoke restoration before it occurred. To turn around any rebellion of Israel, God spoke through the prophets time and again and even with Jesus, many were the words spoken concerning who he would be before he ever came in the flesh. And you and I my friend are made in the image of God-and we must have the word in our hearts for as Proverbs declares, out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks and it is by a man’s word that he rises or falls.
Proverbs 18:21 says something remarkable about our tongue; about the words that come out of our mouth-it says “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it shall eat its fruit.” You see my friend, what our words are is more than just vibrations of the air; they indicate to the unseen spiritual world who we are, what we believe and they set in action an appropriate response or reaction from there. Now if such power lies in the tongue, then we as believers ought to realise that our words we speak carry power and not just in our lives, but in the lives of those who hear our worlds. And if what we now carry in our mouths is the Word of God, we become a people who bring the peace and the healing of God wherever we go.
The Word is a Sword, and our mouth is the edge of a weapon, therefore my friend I conclude and say that in your mouth must be the Word of God because you have been given that privilege to speak the Word over your life, over situations and over nations and see the results as the Spirit of God goes in to perform the Word that you would have spoken.
Be Blessed my Friend.
