Practical Applications
of God\u2019s Word<\/p>\n

Part 4<\/span> <\/span>\u2014<\/span> <\/span>The Word of God<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFor the Word of God is<\/span> <\/span>\u2026<\/span> <\/span>powerful\u201d<\/span> (Hebrews 4:12).
\u201cThe sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God\u201d
<\/span>(Ephesians 6:17).<\/p>\n

The Bible is a powerful book. When the Lord was \u201cled by the Spirit into the wilderness\u201d <\/span>(Luke 4:1), to be tempted, He answered Satan each time by simply saying, \u201cIt is written\u201d <\/span>(Luke 4:4, 8, 10). When we use the Word of God in communion with the Spirit it becomes a powerful and effective weapon against the enemy, as Ephesians 6:17 indicates.<\/p>\n

This is illustrated by David taking \u201cfive smooth stones out of the brook\u201d<\/span> (1 Samuel 17:40). The brook is a type of the Spirit of God (as running water often is), and the stones taken and put in his shepherd\u2019s bag a picture of the Word of God taken in the power of the Spirit and appropriated for oneself. In other words, it is the Word enjoyed personally and made good by the Spirit of God. Having taken these stones and carried them with him, he was then able to use one of them to meet and overcome Goliath, an apt picture of our enemy the Devil. We too can utilize this power in our day-to-day life.<\/p>\n
