Prayer and faith, the universal remedies against every want and every difficulty; and the nourishment of prayer and faith, God’s holy word, helped me over all the difficulties.

Therefore know that only those who are of faith are sons of Abraham. And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, “In you all the nations shall be blessed.” So then those who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham. 

– Apostle Paul, Gal 3:7–9 (NKJV)

It is a common temptation of Satan to make us give up the reading of the Word and prayer when our enjoyment is gone; as if it were of no use to read the Scriptures when we do not enjoy them, and as if it were of no use to pray when we have no spirit of prayer; whilst the truth is, in order to enjoy the Word, we ought to continue to read it, and the way to obtain a spirit of prayer is to continue praying; for the less we read the word of God, the less we desire to read it, and the less we pray, the less we desire to pray.

All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. 

– Apostle Paul, 2 Tim 3:16–17 (NKJV)

I never remember, in all my Christian course, a period now of sixty-nine years and four months, that I ever SINCERELY and PATIENTLY sought to know the will of God by the teaching of the Holy Ghost, through… the word of God, but I have been ALWAYS directed rightly. But if honesty of heart and uprightness before God were lacking, or if I did not patiently wait upon God… or… preferred the counsel of my fellow men to… the word of the living God, I made great mistakes.

This website is powered by the Eternal Promises of God’s Word. Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life… and the Word. One such promise is that God’s Word shall not return void (empty) ISAIAH 55:11. Another is that Jesus’ words are spirit and life!JOHN 6:63

So it is that we esteem the Word of God on this web site. God’s name is holy, yet He magnified (exalted) His Word above His name PSALM 138:2. It is the Word of God that changes lives and brings the power of God into the living dead, shining Light where darkness once reigned.

The Word is likened to a sword in both Hebrews and Ephesians:

For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. HEB 4:12(Emphasis added)

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 … and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Eph 6:11-18 (Emphasis added)

Have you noticed that the Sword is primarily an offensive weapon designed to cut the enemy down quickly? The Hebrews application is obviously dealing with those who are either enemies of Christ (under the wrath of God because of their unbeliefJOHN 3:36), as well as those in Christ. This sharp scalpel, expertly wielded in the hands of the Physician, is thrust into those who hear the Word and believe, to perform an immediate heart transplant and give new life, as well as the removal of unseen cancerous sin in His followers. He performs flawless heart surgery. He does the surgery, yet He commands us to hold the blade.

When we go into battle, we definitely want armor, but without a weapon, there is little chance for survival. His Word is our Sword for our spiritual battles EPH 6. With His Sword in hand, we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us!

Interestingly, witnessing and proclaiming the Gospel to the lost utilizes both of these functions. The unbeliever has a hardened heart, and nothing else but the Sword of the Spirit will penetrate this rocky soil. The larger struggle is that the sinner is blinded by “the god of this world,” 2CO 4:4 aka satan, and most likely under demonic influence. The Word of God is your fail-safe solution; the weapon of choice for any soldier of Christ.
