When I first read this one I couldnt understand/digest it. My Pastor preached on it and told me to 'get it into your spirit."I obeyed. I love this verse. Its freedom promised. It helps my faith. also "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me"
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
Question two from Shushy: (a) Do you believe this scripture? (b) If you do do you believe it is as powerful today as it was in the days of Early Church?

Yes, the word of God is the greatest tool for reaching the depths of my heart - it touches my attitude and thoughts in the heart that I often don't see myself until the sword cuts me there ! It's a double-edged sword - sharper even that that - double-edge works anyway you twist it (not twisting around your finger) I mean in whatever direction you swing it - toward you or toward me - both directions cut. Sharper than that? because it gets in without cutting outwardly - ?? Often others can try to teach me, correct me - I resist - thick skinned, but the word of God gets in and does what no one else can do. Thank you. . .

Hi walker Ty for responding. Yes, I believe it can bring conviction, create change when spoken over situations, lives cities, nations. All for the Glory of God and his Kingdom. I have used it to pray over my own wretched life, declared it over others lives, prophesied with it into peoples lives, families, friends, the lost, cities, nations. It uproots evil, overthrows the enemy, rebuilds goodness, corrects, heals, delivers, brings change and brings glory to our Saviour. When God speaks his Word doesnt return void. I believe we can speak scripture through the inspiration of the Holy SPirit and it is as if God spoke and we can see the results. Powerful beautiful rewarding stuff..to me. It is Alive.
