God’s Word, Sharper Than Any Two-Edged Sword

“Any Christian without a Bible is a warrior without a sword” Benny Hinn.

“For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.”

~~~Hebrews 4:12 (ESV)~~~

“For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power [making it active, operative, energizing, and effective]; it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life (soul) and [the immortal] spirit, and of joints and marrow [of the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart.”

~~~Hebrews 4:12 (AMPC)~~~

The Empowering Whole Armor of God

“In conclusion, be strong in the Lord [be empowered through your union with Him]; draw your strength from Him [that strength which His boundless might provides]. Put on God’s whole armor [the armor of a heavy-armed soldier which God supplies], that you may be able successfully to stand up against [all] the strategies and the deceits of the devil. For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the despotisms, against the powers, against [the master spirits who are] the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere. Therefore put on God’s complete armor, that you may be able to resist and stand your ground on the evil day [of danger], and, having done all [the crisis demands], to stand [firmly in your place]. Stand therefore [hold your ground], having tightened the belt of truth around your loins and having put on the breastplate of integrity and of moral rectitude and right standing with God, And having shod your feet in preparation [to face the enemy with the firm-footed stability, the promptness, and the readiness produced by the good news] of the Gospel of peace. Lift up over all the [covering] shield of saving faith, upon which you can quench all the flaming missiles of the wicked [one]. And take the helmet of salvation and the sword that the Spirit wields, which is the Word of God. Pray at all times (on every occasion, in every season) in the Spirit, with all [manner of] prayer and entreaty. To that end keep alert and watch with strong purpose and perseverance, interceding in behalf of all the saints (God’s consecrated people)”.

Which Do You Value Most, Your Opinion or God’s?

Andrew Wommack referencing a conversation he had with a woman who believed in God yet was in support of social moral issues which explicitly conflict with scripture, “….explain to me how you can say that you are a Christian, that you love God, and yet you believed in all these things that are completely contrary to what the Bible says?” Her response, “….I was a Christian and I loved God, but I did not love the Word of God,…I didn’t honor the Word of God, I didn’t respect the Word of God,….when I came to Bible college and I began to realize the importance of the Word,…now that changed everything”.

Andrew Wommack “There may be some people here who say that you’re a Christian and yet you believe in things that are completely contrary to the Word. You could be a Christian and still not have the right value system, but you can’t fear God to where you trust in Him and exalt His opinion above your own. You can’t fear God and still embrace these principles that are completely contrary to the Word of God,…the fear of God will cause you not to be wise in your own eyes, but instead exalt the Word of God”.

“O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps. O Lord, correct me, but with judgment; not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing.”

Satan’s Warped Mental Bondage, His Rogue Thoughts

Jimmy Evans “Listen, when your mind begins to argue with the Word of God, you don’t sit there and argue with the Word of God, you cast down that argument and you accept the Word of God. That’s how you get set free. God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of love and power and a sound mind. So the only way you can deal with fear is to treat it as a separate entity. It’s not your fear. You weren’t born with any fear. You don’t have any fear, you’re fearless. Did you know that? All fear,…God hasn’t given us a spirit of fear. God doesn’t use fear. God didn’t create us with fear. So why am I saying this? Is because the same way you deal with fear is the way you deal with a mental stronghold. It’s not your thought, it’s the devil’s thought. Taking every thought captive. It’s not your friend, it’s not you, it’s the devil…There cannot be rogue thoughts,…you can’t have a rogue thought in your mind, you can’t. It’ll destroy your life. It’ll hold you in bongage”.

“[Inasmuch as we] refute arguments and theories and reasonings and every proud and lofty thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God; and we lead every thought and purpose away captive into the obedience of Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One),”

The Miraculous Conversion of Real Prosperity

BIll Winston “You will prosper as your soul prospers. And, prosperity of your soul is nothing but revelation of the Word of God. You’re going to prosper as your soul prospers and the prosperity of your soul in nothing but the revelation of the Word of God. Now, I advise you to get back into those scriptures and work on prospering your soul, just work on prospering your soul. Go to scriptures that agree with what you’re believing for or whatever have you and start saying them, maybe on a daily basis and so forth, and prosper your soul. Because sometimes you can act on something by faith and the Bible calls it presumption. In other words a person never really believed it, they just did it cause I said it or did it cause I did it . Other people can believe things very quickly. And what you have to do is you have to follow the rules. One rule is you must see God as your only source. You must sow a seed and you must expect a miracle that God is going to get it to you from somewhere. And it doesn’t make any difference where it comes from if God has so designated this place or this person or this company, whatever, for it to come through, I’m okay with whatever God’s okay with. As you listen to people like me and you see some of those faith stories that I talk about and sowing and reaping so forth and so on, see those stories, this conversion will take place inside of you, it really will…that spiritual law demands faith and faith comes when you believe”.

“Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.”

~~~3 John 2 (KJV)~~~

“For the seed shall be prosperous; the vine shall give her fruit, and the ground shall give her increase, and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things.”

~~~Zechariah 8:12 (KJV)~~~

“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”

Put On the Whole Armour of God

~~~Ephesians 6:10-18 (KJV)~~~

“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;”

How to Be the Greatest Somebody You Can Be

Selfie Dad

Mickey “What I think you’re trying to say is…you love your family. Right?”

Ben “Absolutely!”

Mickey “They know that. But what if the greatest somebody you can be is a man all in for God? What if you dove deeper into the Bible than you ever have before?”

Ben “Look man, you’re young, dude. I got kids, my wife. I can’t afford to be sitting around reading the Bible!”

Mickey “See,…You have a wife and kids and a family and responsibilities, you can’t afford NOT to read the Bible!”

Pastor “It’s one thing to know the Bible, but as you learn the Word of God, by the power of the Holy Spirit, you’re able to learn to live in obedience to it. 1 John, chapter 2 says this ‘Whoever says I know Him, but does not do what He commands is a liar and the Truth is not in that person’.”

“And when he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king, of whom he testified and said, ‘I have found in David the son of Jesse a man after my heart, who will do all my will’.”

Yep, You & God Can Make It Happen!

Terri Savelle Foy: “If you want to go beyond where you are today, you have to feed what you want to live and starve what you want to die. Feed what you want to live and starve what you want to die. In other words you gotta feed your FAITH and starve your FEARS. And how do you do that? Well the Bible says that faith comes by hearing, right? So when you’re hearing God’s Word like you are today, and you’re reading books and you’re just filling yourself up with the Word of God, you know what happens? Your faith gets stronger and your fear gets weaker”.

“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.”
