Rev 19:15 And out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, so that with it He should strike the nations. And He will shepherd them with a rod of iron. And He treads the winepress of the wine of the anger and of the wrath of Almighty God.
I thought I would start this letter with that passage, as it portraits our King Jesus with his Sword. Now I think it is very meaningful that Jesus holds his Sword in his mouth. Now when we read…
Heb 4:12 For the Word of God is living and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing apart of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
We find that the Word of God is a living, powerful, sharp two-edged sword, sharper than any other existing sword.
So this definitely implies that the Words Jesus spoke are a weapon, they were a weapon in Jesus’ mouth, I think we could say that a two-edged sword, we could take as that in one edge it brings salvation, healing & eternal life, blessings & the other edge cuts anything that is not of God from within us, like a scalpel used in surgery to remove cancer. We find in Revelations 19:21 And the rest were slain by the sword of Him who sat on the horse, it proceeding out of His mouth.
Also we are advised to use it as a vital part of our weapons…
Eph 6:13 Therefore take to yourselves the whole armor of God; that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand; 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God,
Being mindful of the spiritual warfare we are involved in, we need to realize that in order to gain our battles against our enemies, we have to draw our sword and use it constantly. Eph 6:12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
1Pe 5:8 Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil walks around like a roaring lion, seeking someone he may devour.
It is very difficult to win a battle by staying on the defensive, in order to get the victory we need to attack the enemy with the Sword that our God has put at our disposal, & I am referring to the Word of God. When negative, accusing, derogatory thoughts come to our head like: you are a sinner, you are a loser, you will never get anywhere, you will never change, you always fail, you always… whatever negative... I hope you will understand that, that is the language of the enemy, & many times he uses family & some people close to you to accuse you of those things, even though most of the times these people don’t realize they are being used of the enemy.
The enemy uses our weakness & tries to make us focus on that, but the way to victory over our weak areas is to keep our eyes on Jesus the author & finisher of our faith, Heb 12:2.
Let’s focus on what God says about us in His Word & repeat His Word to ourselves & to the enemy all the time. That is the way to wield our Sword & silence the enemy, & strengthen our souls, for example…
-I am a Son/Daughter of the Most High, and He loves me!
Jn 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave his only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.
I am a believer!
1Jn 4:9 In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through Him.10 In this is love, not that we have loved God but that He loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
1Jn 4:16 So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
God loves me! I believe in His Love for me!
I am capable, I am able, I can… why…? Because it is God who is at work in me;
Phil 4:13... I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
Zach. 4:6... Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says Yahweh of Armies. (I am a Temple of the Holy Spirit)
1Co 6:19 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you (me), whom you have from God? You are not your own,
Php 1:6 And I am sure of this, that He who began a good work in you (me) will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.
Php 2:13 for it is God who works in you (me), both to will and to work for his good pleasure.
2Ti 1:7 For God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
I am an overcomer. Why?
1Jn 4:4 Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for He who is in you (me) is greater than he who is in the world.
1Jn 5:4-5 For everyone who has been born of God (me) overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. 5 Who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? (Me!)
Jud 1:24 Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his Glory with great joy, 25 to God our Savior, who alone is wise, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen.
I have everything I need to do God’s Will:
Rom 8:32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not also with Him freely give us all things?
Luke 12:32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give You (me) the Kingdom.
Eph 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ: (See, we do not lack any spiritual blessing, we already have them all, Hallelujah!)
Luke 12:31 But rather seek the Kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you (me).
See, putting God first in our lives will always result in greater blessings in our lives, whereas putting God in second place will result in defeat, frustration, plus many other bad things too.
2Pe 1:3-4 seeing that his divine power hath granted unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him that called us by his own glory and virtue; whereby He hath granted unto us his precious and exceeding great promises; that through these ye may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in that world by lust.
See, we are partakers of God’s Nature.
All spirits are subject unto Jesus who is within me. We have power over sicknesses & circumstances according to our faith.
Mat 28:18 Jesus said: “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth. 20 Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
Luke 10:19 Behold, I have given you (me) authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall in any wise hurt you.
Jn 14:12-13 Verily, verily, I say to you, he that believes on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto the Father. 13 And whatever you shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you shall ask anything in my name, that will I do.
Jn 17:20-23... And I do not pray for these alone, but for those also who shall believe on Me through their word, that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You, that they also may be one in Us, so that the world may believe that You have sent Me. And I have given them the glory which You have given Me, that they may be one, even as We are one, I in them, and You in Me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that You have sent Me and have loved them as You have loved Me.
Jn 17:26 And I made known to them Your name, and will make it known, so that the love with which You have loved Me may be in them, and I in them.
Mat 9:28 And when He was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Do you believe that I am able to do this? They say to him, Yes, Lord. 29 Then touched He their eyes, saying, According to your faith let it be done unto you.
Brethren we have to memorize these passages so that we can posses them, as we meditate in them day & night.
Psalm 1:2-3 but his delight is in Yahweh’s law. On his law he meditates day and night. 3 He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that produces its fruit in its season, whose leaf also does not wither. Whatever he does shall prosper.
I leave these other Bible passages filled with great Promises of our God, these will be a great blessing to you as you read them and take them as yours, for they are ours. As you can see all those promises are ours not because we did anything good to deserve them, but rather because of what Jesus did in our behalf, it's all thanks to Him, as we received them by His grace & by faith. It was & is his sacrifice in the Cross in our behalf that makes it all possible.
1Co 3:21-23 Wherefore let no one glory in men. For all things are yours; whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours; and ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.

Deuteronomy 31:8 "It is Yahweh who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed."
