A look at the word of our Lord as a weapon of spiritual warfare.

Read Hebrews 4:12, 2 Pet 1:2-4.

Hebrews describes the Word of God like a sword. How is it like a sword?
How would you use the Word of God like a sword?

Take these promises and:
DECLARE the Word of God and the specific promises for your needs: death and life are in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21)- how much more power is there when you speak the Word of God to your situation/need?

THINK on the Word of God - it is life, and healing and health to your flesh (Prov 4:20-22). Ponder over it, wonder and look things up. Ask God to teach you His word. Allow it to minister to you.

COUNTERATTACK with the Word of God when the enemy brings doubts and fear. Treat the word of God as if it were as vital as food, as a powerful soldier's weapon. We should be alert and focused as true soldiers of God, able to fire off the Word of God in every situation, in every attack.
