Some may argue that the sword of the Holy Spirit is for doing surgical work. But a sword is mostly used for fighting.
The reality is that the Holy Spirit never takes anything out or away from a person. The person must repent of whatever it is that is binding them, give it up and turn away from it.
So what does the Holy Spirit fight? Unbelief and error. And He always uses the Word to do so.
The world we live in today is filled with unbelief and much of the church is filled with error.
Someone once said: "It doesn`t matter what you believe as long as you believe in something". That is a lie from the pit of hell.
Only the Truth makes us Free. Anything other than the Truth will actually bind us. If it is not Truth it is error.
The Sword Of The Spirit is the Word Of God which is given to us as a cutting tool. For a person to be saved they must repent of being unsaved. For a person to be healed they must repent of being sick. For a person to prosper they must repent of a poverty mentality.
The Word Of God is the Truth about salvation, healing and prosperity. We are commissioned by our Lord to go into all the world and preach the good news of the Kingdom to every creature.
In order for the Gospel to have the intended effect, it must be delivered with conviction and confidence. It is the Holy Spirit who teaches us that the Gospel is true and effective. This is why the Word Of God is called the Sword Of The Spirit. The Word is only effective when delivered under the unction of the Holy Spirit.
When we wield the Sword Of The Spirit in the Holy Spirit we will see people set free as opinions and doctrines and strongholds crumble before the throne of Truth.
Prepare yourself for a battle to the death with the enemy knowing that the Gates Of Hell cannot withstand the onslaught. If in fact the enemy wins a skirmish and you are martyred for Christ`s sake, know that you will not die but immediately appear before your Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
The hour is upon us to trim our lamps and make preparations for the bridegroom.
Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray you therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest. |
