Hebrews 4: 12
For the word of GOD is living, 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.
The Word of GOD is a living, powerful, sharp sword in the right hand of GOD
In order to live victoriously, we must learn to live the Word of GOD; we must learn to speak only the Word of GOD and we must walk in the way of the Word. If this sounds "tedious", I would like to change that word to "intentional". When we "intentionally" live, walk, think, and talk the Word of GOD, we know that what we are doing is right in the eyes of GOD. Whatever is contrary to the Word, is contrary to GOD. These are hard words, but they are life to those who follow.
We can not experience victory, unless we follow the plan set forth in the Word. The Word slices and dices our thoughts and intents, reveals them and gives us a chance to correct them through an act of contrition. We don't like to think about the fact that we all sin and fall short of the glory of GOD; but the fact is, we do. When we sin, we have an advocate with the Father, JESUS Christ, the righteous, who is the perfect offering for our sin and not for ours only, but for the sin of the world. If we find that we have sinned, we can be clean of that sin through confession and receiving absolution from the LORD. The Word of GOD washes us clean and we are clean, indeed.
BE WASHED WITH THE WORD; BATHE IN ITS HOLINESS AND BE REBORN
