John 6:63, “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.”
God’s Word is Spirit and life, and it is able to quicken. Remember, it is “the Spirit that quickeneth” and is able to give life to anything called dead. It can also invigorate everything that is dying. Thus, the Bible enables us to partake of that divine nature of God that gives us dominion over the things that corrupt the world.
By the Word, we become partakers of the divine nature, escaping the corruption that is in the world through lust. It infuses the nature of God into us, and confers us with dominion over everything that is molesting the world (2 Peter 1:4).
Thus, God’s Word is Spirit-born, because the Word is a product of the Spirit and like begets like. Therefore, God’s Word is Spirit and every statement of Scripture is gathered by the Spirit of God.
It is written in Ephesians 6:17, ”And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.”
Therefore, when we engage the Word, we are engaging the Spirit of God as a standard against the attacks of the enemy. The Spirit of God is our guarantee for victory in every spiritual conflict and when the enemy is defeated, our turnaround is guaranteed (Isaiah 59:19).
Remember that when the devil tempted Jesus on the mount of temptation, He tackled him with “It is written,” and the devil left Him. There is no force against our path of turnaround that will not bow to the right Word, because we encounter the raw power of God from His Word.
God’s Word is His power in print and we cannot engage the sword of the Lord and still be grounded. When we engage the Spirit of the Word against the operations of hell, our victory is sure.
shalom!
