Understanding the Sabbath
Today’s Focus: Five-Fold Responsibility of the Word of God
Scripture: Hebrews 4:12
Greetings Kingdom Citizens
Now in the last message we discussed to importance of hearing the Word of God and responding to it. Have we ever thought that the Word of God has a responsibility itself? The anointing can be separated into five governmental graces (Ephesians 4:11). The Word of God when it is active in the lives of a son of God has five particular roles and we can find them in this scripture:
Hebrews 4:12: For the word of God is quick and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Let’s look at the five-fold responsibility of the Word of God from this scripture:
First it says that word of God is quick. The word quick means life, hence the word of God gives life and is the relevant prescription for your condition.
Second it says the word of God is powerful. It empowers a person to act on the words of God to bring His Will to the Earth. So it is the actual thing that works for you.
Third it says that the word of God is piercing. This means that the Word of God offends. Now you know that people love feel good messages but the true Word of God offends because it challenges you with truth in the place and position that you are in.
Fourth the word of God divides. This is probably one of the most important attributes because so much of the inclusion doctrine is about uniting but the Word of God divides. What does it divide? It divides carnal thinking from spiritually minded thoughts. Remember our spirit is at rest by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit but the rest of the soul must be discovered and until then the Word of God consistently divides those things so you can see the difference. We will come back in the next message and look at division.
Fifth the word of God is a discerner of thoughts and intents. The word of God will show you the true intentions of people and the moves of the enemy.
In the next message we will look at the power and purpose of division that the Word of God brings to the sons of God.
Peace, Love and Grace from the Father,
