(Armor of God Series)
Most of the time, we are in defense mode--merely trying to protect ourselves and our loved ones against evil. Should we even try to fight back? If so, how can we go on the offense against the powers of darkness?
“Take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” (Ephesians 6:17 NLT)
“God's word is living and active. It is sharper than any two-edged sword and cuts as deep as the place where soul and spirit meet, the place where joints and marrow meet. God's word judges (discerns) a person's thoughts and intentions.” (Hebrews 4:12 GWT)
What does this even mean?
Spirit--conscious, essence, incorporeal (comes from the Latin spiritus which is a combination of the words for breath and action)
Word (as used in the Bible)--manifestation of God’s thoughts, revelation of God, expression of God. (comes from the Greek logos--embodying of an idea, reasoning as expressed by words)
In order to fight back, we need to seek and find the weapon first. Then, we need to grasp it and learn to use it skillfully. Listen for God--His Spirit is omnipresent; His expressions are multitudinous. Breathe in His conscious essence; embody His revelations and expressions.
We can push forward with what has been revealed--the comprehensible part of the incomprehensible, the experienceable edge of the inexperienceable, the conscious tip of the divine consciousness.
