The Word is Our Greatest Weapon

One of the ways that many of God's people err is through a lack of the Word in their heart, mind and spirit. Jesus even said that heaven and earth shall pass away, but his Word shall not. This is extremely true, because the very world in which we live has changed drastically through many centuries, but God and his Word will always be the same. The Bible is the top-selling book of all-time, because not only does it have all of the answers that I or anyone else will ever need for life, but also because every prophecy that God has spoken has come to pass.

This book was written by 40 different authors (most did not even know each other). However, they were all inspired by God to write the greatest guideline for life that I have ever read. The great thing about this book is that it does not contradict itself, because God does not contradict himself. He has a great sense of humor, but no contradiction. After all, the Bible does say that God is not the author of confusion. (1 Corinthians 14:33) Man contradicts. Contradiction equals confusion. It is an honor, privilege and blessing to know God personally, because his Word speaks. When I open up the Bible and when I am going through something, I can find a scripture that speaks directly, I repeat, directly to my situation. Jesus himself has even said that man does not live by bread alone, but by the Word of God.

The Word keeps me alive in the most important aspect of life, which is spiritually. As a result, I am able to operate better naturally. God's Word is not only a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path, but it is also a Shield to cover me from the fiery arrows of the devil, as well as a Sword to land a very deadly blow to him in warfare, The Word of God is my greatest case of defense against the enemy's accusations and schemes, because the Word has stood the test of time to prove that God will not fail, and those who follow him at his Word shall not fail. When I know the Word and it is written in my spirit to the point that I can effectively walk in it, the enemy, my flesh nor the things of the world can take me down, because when I know the Word, I do not have to fight with my own carnal weapons, but with God's weapons which are with 66 different books from Genesis to Revelation. (39 books- Old Testament, 27 books- New Testament) The term "fear not" is recorded 365 times in the Bible, because God knows that we will be tempted to fear every single day, which is a great reminder. The way that I show that I love God is by taking heed to his Word and living my life according to his Word. Before I had become saved and sold out for Christ, the people who I really looked up to were Athletes and Entertainers. (saved or not) Now that I have chosen to put God first, my biggest hero is JESUS, because everything that he has done or has claimed has come to pass. My new role models are those who are written within the pages of scriptures. (Ex: Heroes of Faith - Hebrews 11) The reason why I admire these Heroes of the Faith such as Jacob, Moses, Joshua, Abraham, etc. is because none of these men were perfect, but because of their faith in God through their actions they were winners. Jesus is the only one who will always be perfect, because he is the Living Word.
