These WORDs inspired by Holy Spirit and recorded by the writer of Hebrews, reaffirms what the majority of the 1st century Apostles and Disciples were proclaiming as Truth. In the debate over whether God’s Power was an active, continual and ongoing Work of God through Believers.
Bringing this same debate into the 21st century, it seems that I must refrain from ‘dulling’ what God has spoken of as ‘sharper’ than any two-edged sword. Any limiting of Holy Spirit as God’s assigned and designated ‘Weapon of Warfare’, who manifested in many instances, both as Power to perform signs and wonders and Authority over that spiritual realm which Christ declared as conquered territory.
Territory which Believers have gained by inheritance through HIS death and triumphant resurrection to Glorious and Everlasting Life.
I must NOT be ‘simple-minded’ in my understanding of this, NO, I MUST be ‘Christ-minded’ concerning Holy Spirit, who SPEAKS in Power and Authority, inhabiting Believers as God’s appointed and designated ‘Kings and Priests’.
I MUST acknowledge and declare HIS Spirit as True and Living, both Alive and Effective as testimony to God’s unchanging WORD. I agree with the Apostle Paul, there is nothing more ‘dead’lier, than a dispatched ‘Warrior’, a Believer in Christ’, who has decided by their own interpretation, that God’s Spirit for some unproven reason, has been divinely recalled.
My God GIVES HIS Spirit to all who desire HIM!
Perceiving that there is either NO spiritual warfare currently taking place in the earth, OR too many whose walk teters back and forth across the ‘dividing line’ between ‘slave and servant’, have bypassed and ignored the ‘dispensation’ of God’s WORD, and have decided that HIS ‘Sword of the Spirit’ is ineffective and/or useless for the Lord’s generation of today.
Either ‘Advance the Kingdom of God’ upon the earth, or be as one ‘exposed and sifted’ by HIS Spiritual Counsel, who will then render a judgement which amounts to Eternal ‘banishment’ from the Very Presence of God!
O’Lord, YOU are a Fire and a Rock, and YOU burn and crush YOUR every enemy. I stand each morning in awe of YOUR Power, to breathe Life into souls once dead. The world sees only dry bones, but I SEE an ARMY. Filled with YOUR Spirit, I will die only once and live forever, those who would ignore YOUR WORD, will die twice and be dead forever.
Rise up, O’ Army of God, listen to the sound, the earth and all of it’s fullness, belongs to the Lord, our Savior and King.
Proclaiming Victory in Christ Jesus, all around the world. Amen]]]]> ]]>
