Are you fighting with the sword or
with the Spirit? Victory comes by His Spirit.
September’s
Awakening, Day 29
There are in the world two powers—the
sword and the spirit. And the spirit has always vanquished the sword.
—Napoleon
All the resources of the Godhead are at our
disposal!
—Jonathan Goforth
“Put
your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him, “for all who draw the sword
will die by the sword. Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at
once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels? Matthew
26:52–53 NIV
The
armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine
linen, white and clean. Coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword with which to
strike down the nations. “He will rule them with an iron scepter.” He treads
the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. On his robe and on his
thigh he has this name written: king of kings and lord of lords. Revelation
19:14–16 NIV
Indeed,
the Spirit will ultimately and completely vanquish the power of the sword. In
the end times, when Christ comes at His Glorious Appearing, He will vanquish
all the world rebels, including the antichrist and the false prophet, with the
“sword coming out of His mouth,” the Word of God, which strikes down all
enemies and none can prevail against. That’s the ultimate power of the Spirit,
and that same power of the Spirit is available to us and lives inside us today.
The power of the sword, nor any power indeed, can prevail against the mighty
power of His Spirit. Victory over sin, evil, and death is assured—they have no
sting nor will they overcome the Spirit.
So,
don’t grab your sword, evoke the power of His Spirit, and let your victories
begin.
