17b … and the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God, 18 praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, ~ Ephesians 6:17-18
The Sword of the Spirit isn’t just the physical Word of God that we refer to as the Bible. It’s not just quoting Scripture. It’s quoting Scripture in Jesus’ name through the power of the Holy Spirit. This power of the Holy Spirit can only be activated through praying in the Spirit because your spirit can only be built up through praying in the spirit, just as your mind can only be built up through praying with your mind.
This is why the Church has been in a dormant state. A state where people leave the Church and become pagans or occultists because the Church has no power. We no longer see the miracles of old in the Church today because the Church rarely prays in the Spirit. Each and every one of us has a Spirit language. This isn’t the same as the speaking in tongues that we saw in Acts 2, which is speaking a heavenly language, and each person hearing heard it in their own language regardless of whom they listened to.
This isn’t the same as the speaking in tongues that Paul refers to in 1 Corinthians 14, which is speaking a word from God in a heavenly language to the Church and then needing the interpretation of that heavenly language from either the person that spoke or from another who received the interpretation from God. This is speaking in a heavenly language that is specific to your spirit that connects to God’s Spirit that is in you. It is your spirit’s way of building itself up but also cutting through the limitations of our minds and getting straight down to what it is that you need that you may not even know. Without feeding our spirit, it can’t grow. This is how we grow our spirit.
This is the key to activating the Sword of the Spirit. So, when we start to pray in the Spirit and we start to activate the Sword of the Spirit, we will begin to see a change in our lives. We will begin to see the power of God fill us as His Spirit builds in us and builds our spirit with Him. After we have prayed in the spirit, we must pray with our mind that our mind might be built up as well. After we have built up our spirits and our minds, we must then make supplication for the rest of the saints of God. These are the keys to wielding the Sword of the Spirit. Each one of these is important, for a three-strand cord is not easily broken.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Activate The Sword of The Spirit.
