Hebrews 4:12 The Word of God is alive and full of power…not ‘sometimes’, but always. Nor is the power of His Word dependent on who we are or what we do. Let’s get right to the ‘heart’ of the matter…when was the last time we experienced this power? Were we on the mountain top or in the lowest valley? Was it in a conversation when we just knew the Lord was speaking through us? Perhaps He supplied us with a supernatural impartation of His Holy Spirit when our suffering went far beyond anything we could manage on our own. Or, maybe we experienced unexplainable joy and peace in a season of great chaos. Did we brush it off, believing we made it through in our strength and wisdom? And the Sword, able to separate the soul and the spirit… the breath of life, the flesh and the immortal spirit. Until we knew Him and received the Holy Spirit, perhaps we believed the soul and the spirit were one, always in agreement with the other. Then we find the flesh and the spirit battle against one another, and we have a choice as to who wins. This is when we understood there can only be one victor. Visually, we ‘see’ the Sword drawing the line in the sand…between the flesh and the spirit. Adversaries receiving power from the one they are enslaved to. The flesh, empowered by Pride and Selfishness, and the Spirit, alive, full of power offering purpose in Humility and Love. God sees…us, do we believe He wants us to ‘see’…us too? To imagine the battlefield and to choose between to adversaries, we imagined as one being? In our confusion, God brings clarity and revelation. He gives us the ability to make a choice when we thought there was none. He knows the intentions of our heart apart from the flesh, He also knows and provides the necessary power for living a spirit filled life. That life, that power lives in us. Do we take hold of it… Do we use it for His glory? Lord, we give You any heaviness in our heart. We surrender, we sacrifice our flesh so the spirit would rule and reign over our live
