The Weapon of the Word
The Weapon of the Word
If you abide in My word [hold fast to My teachings and live in accordance with them], you are truly My disciples. And you will know the Truth, and the Truth will set you free. —John 8:31–32
Two spiritual weapons available to you are praise and prayer. Praise and prayer should both be filled with the Word of God.
Jesus used the weapon of the Word in the wilderness to defeat the devil (see Luke 4:1–13). Each time the devil lied to Him, Jesus responded with, “It is written,” and quoted the Word. Likewise, you can use the Word to tear down the strongholds in your mind and defeat the devil.
Learn to fill your prayers and praise with the Word of God by abiding (staying, continuing) in God’s Word. Pray, speak, sing, and study the Word, and you will experience victory in all areas of your life.
Power Thought: I have the ability to know the Truth, and the Truth will set me free.
From the book the book Power Thoughts Devotional by Joyce Meyer.
