THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT:

COMMENTS

"MAN NEVER SPOKE LIKE THIS MAN." (St. John 7:46) The religious leaders in old Israel had tremendous power over the people. They had their own police force. Officers were sent to arrest Jesus, but not without the notion he might bring fire down on them like Elijah did in Ahab's reign. The officers were understandably cautious. When they returned empty handed, the religious leaders wanted to know why they had not arrested Jesus. They answered: "Man never spoke like this man." Jesus was a supernatural man. The Spirit of God was in his mouth. His words were "QUICK AND POWERFUL AND SHARPER THAN ANY TWO EDGED SWORD." "The voice of the Lord is full of majesty." (Psalm 29:4) When he returns in the glory of God, he will kill Antichrist by speaking a lightning bolt from his mouth. God's resurrected people will be gathered in the clouds to witness the sword of the Spirit in the Lord's mouth. "AND THEN SHALL THAT WICKED BE REVEALED, WHOM THE LORD SHAL CONSUME WITH THE SPIRIT OF HIS MOUTH, AND SHALL DESTROY WITH THE BRIGHTNESS OF HIS COMING:" (2 Thessalonians 2:l8) Do you who call yourselves preachers have THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT in your mouth or is it only your imagination?
"FOR THE WORD OF GOD IS QUICK, 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." (Hebrews 4:l2) God "MAKES HIS ANGELS SPIRITS; HIS MINISTERS A FLAMING FIRE." True "WHOLLY SANCTIFIED" ministers of God have a sword of the Spirit in their mouth. The Apostle Paul wrote that God "ALSO HAS MADE US ABLE MINISTERS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT; NOT OF THE LETTER, BUT OF THE SPIRIT: FOR THE LETTER KILLS, BUT THE SPIRIT GIVES LIFE." (2 Corinthians 3:6) The Word of God the apostles spoke was "QUICK, AND POWERFUL, AND SHARPER THAN ANY TWO EDGED SWORD...." "IT IS THE SPIRIT THAT QUICKENS; THE FLESH PROFITS NOTHING:" Jesus said. "THE WORDS I SPEAK UNTO YOU, THEY ARE SPIRIT, AND THEY LIFE." (St. John 6:63)
"OPEN YOUR MOUTH WIDE AND I WILL FILL IT." (Psalm 8l:l0) It will do no good for you to open your mouth wide and expect the Lord to fill it unless you are in the Spirit. "OUT OF THE BELLY WILL FLOW RIVERS OF LIVING WATERS" into the sounds of truth the righteous speak in the Spirit whether it be preaching, praise, or prayer or as it was on Pentecost when the hundred and twenty spoke in tongues. The principle is always the same. "OPEN YOUR MOUTH WIDE AND I WILL FILL IT." It is the Spirit of the Lord who is in the mouth of the righteous. He is the sword of the Spirit. "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and THE WORD WAS GOD." (St. John 1:1) His Word is Spirit. (St. John 6:63)




BUT TRULY I AM FULL OF POWER BY THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD, AND OF JUDGMENT, AND OF MIGHT, TO DECLARE UNTO JACOB HIS TRANSGRESSION, AND TO ISRAEL HIS SIN." (Micah 3:8) Those who study to show themselves approved of God to enter into the harvest fields in (St. Luke 9:l) "power and authority" to build the sword of the Spirit, are laboring to one day be "full of power by the Spirit" of Christ. This is not a "pat them on the back" sword as many suppose. The Lord said: "Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword."(St. Matthew lO:34) In the second half of the Tribulation, two prophets speak fire like flamethrowers from their mouth to devour their enemies (Revelation ll:5) and Christ kills Antichrist in the battle of Armageddon with a lightning bolt from his mouth. (Ref. 2 Thessalonians 2:8)(Ref. Isaiah 30:30) Too many believers are offended at the slightest reproof of instruction. What will you do when you come before the Lord at the Judgment Seat of Christ where a sword of the Spirit shall be found in his mouth? Do you only know of the gentle Jesus taught in the churches? If you are to be like him in the anointing, you must be ready to speak what the Lord would speak if you are to see the sword of the Spirit in your mouth.
