God’s Armor- Rhema Word
“…and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” Ephesians 6:17
Ahh, Father, I am blessed to know the word of God, logos, which is Jesus (John 1:1). But in that vast truth lies a word, a sword, a rhema word, the perfect sword to defeat my present enemy. And in Ephesians 6:16, the word of God is the rhema word, the right dagger to pierce darkness like the veil of the temple, torn in two separating the division between heaven and earth. I am honored and humbled to think that I can wield this rhema word in battle as Jesus did in Matthew 4:4 when he said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every rhema that proceeds from the mouth of God.’”
I am undone! Praise you, Father! You supply the equipment for the battle and the sword of the word. Like King Jesus in Revelation 19:15 who subdued the nations with the two-edged sword in his mouth I subdue the vilest enemy with the same sword, His word, in Jesus’ name. Amen and amen!
