LIVING WITH A WORD

Text:

1 Samuel 21:8–9 NKJV

And David said to Ahimelech, “Is there not here on hand a spear or a sword? For I have brought neither my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king’s business required haste.” So the priest said, “The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you killed in the Valley of Elah, there it is, wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod. If you will take that, take it. For there is no other except that one here.” And David said, “There is none like it; give it to me.”

THE WORD IS A SWORD

Ephesians 6:17 NKJV

And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;

When “The Word” becomes “A Word”, The Believer becomes invincible.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE WORD AND A WORD IS THE PERSON OF JESUS

JESUS TALKING TO THE CROWDS OR JESUS WAS TALKING TO ME! THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME TO ME!

THE WORD COMES TO EVERYBODY; A WORD COMES TO SOMEBODY

YOU’RE A SOMEBODY!

A WORD FROM GOD IS THE MOST POWERFUL WEAPON YOU HAVE!

Hebrews 4:12 NKJV

For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

JESUS ENCOURAGES US TO LIVE WITH A SWORD

Luke 22:36 NKJV

Then He said to them, “But now, he who has a money bag, let him take it, and likewise a knapsack; and he who has no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one.
