Prophetic Lesson on THE SWORD
For 1-22-2011
The Sword references the power of God or the Word of God—there is no difference between these two. Until now you have only looked at the Word and thought that it was something to be only obeyed—a restriction to your freedom. This ignorance of the nature of My Word has left you impotent against the forces of evil. It is My desire to arm you with the power of My Spirit which is expressed through My Word. [Psalms 33:6; John 1:1-5; Rev. 19:11-16; Hebrews 1:3 and 11:3; 2 Peter 3:4-7] Only those who respect My Word can become one with it so as to be able to manifest it in this world. [Psalms 50:16-17; John 14:15-18; 1 John 5:12] I Am not standing aloof and holding from you power: you are looking at Me as if I Am something that will forever remain separate—something to be desired but unattainable to you. Do not you realize that I Am in you? If you operate under My authority, or in My Name, you are One with Me.
The Sword of My Spirit comes first to set you free from the shackles of your own making. [Hebrews 4:12-13] You have submitted yourself to the power of the evil one when you call upon him with your actions. Everything you do is either drawing you into all that I Am or is pushing you toward darkness. [John 17:14-18; James 4:7-10] Before I opened the door of access only darkness was your path. I have made entrance into My Word available to you by way of the Christ. My Word reveals My presence; My Word reveals Who I Am because it is the result of My nature and is supported by it. [Psalm 138:1-3] Judgment is coming—not like anything you have seen. But you will be separate from it if the Sword of My Spirit has set you free from its influence.
When you are separated unto Me you are in a position to wield the Sword of My Spirit. In you it will bring freedom to the bound and judgment to the rebellious.
>You will never be able to become one with the Sword of My Spirit if you cling to your own devices. [Judges 7:17-18; 1 Samuel 17:38-39]
>You will never be able to become one with the Sword of My Spirit if you dishonor its power by withholding anything from its sharp edge. [Psalms 139:23-24; Luke 18:22-23]
>You will never be able to become one with the Sword of My Spirit if you are double-minded because you will be an enemy to its power when you doubt. [James 1:5-8]
>You will never be able to become one with the Sword of My Spirit when you are mixed in your affections. [1 John 2:15-17]
>You will never be able to become one with the Sword of My Spirit when you walk with the enemy. [1 John 1:6-7]
The Sword of My Spirit is covered with My Blood and must be covered with yours as well in that you are willing to live and die for the cause of My Name.
You will not be able to stand the pressure of these Last Days unless you are one with the Sword of My Spirit. If you will become one with My Word you will do what you never thought was possible and I will use you mightily. The enemy is trying to knock the Sword from your hand—he will not succeed if you stay submitted to it. Submission is the agent of transformation wherein you become one with THE SWORD.
Psalms 149:5-9
5 Let the saints be joyful in glory;
Let them sing aloud on their beds.
6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth,
And a two-edged sword in their hand,
7 To execute vengeance on the nations,
And punishments on the peoples;
8 To bind their kings with chains,
And their nobles with fetters of iron;
9 To execute on them the written judgment —
This honor have all His saints.
Praise the LORD! NKJV
