THE WORD OF GOD Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, 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. POINTS TO PONDER: THE WORD OF GOD IS: 1. QUICK 2. POWERFUL 3. SHARPER THAN ANY TWO-EDGED SWORD 4. PIERCING EVEN TO THE DIVIDING ASUNDER OF SOUL AND SPIRIT, AND OF THE JOINTS AND MARROW 5. IS A DISCERNER OF THOUGHTS AND INTENTS OF THE HEART. THEREFORE, THE WORD OF GOD SHOULD BE HANDLED WITH EXTREME CAUTION AND REVERENCE. WITHOUT CAUTION, AND REVERENCE, THE WORD OF GOD MAY KILL YOU AND DEVASTATE YOU AND THOSE AROUND YOU. IN THE MATERIAL CONTEXT, THIS IS SEEN IN HISTORY WHERE VARIOUS RELIGIOUS DENOMINATIONS WOULD WAGE RELIGIOUS WARS WITH ONE ANOTHER, RESULTING WITH THE DEATH OF MANY. SINCE GODS WORD IS SHARPER THAN ANY TWO-EDGED SWORD, PIERCING EVEN TO THE DIVIDING ASUNDER OF SOUL AND SPIRIT, AND OF THE JOINTS AND MARROW- MANY PEOPLE WERE INFLUENCED WITH IT AND ARE WILLING TO DIE FOR GODS WORD WHETHER THE INTERPRETATION OF GODS WORD IS RIGHTEOUS OR NOT... MANY DEATHS AND BLOOD OF THE SAINTS WERE SACRIFICED BECAUSE OF GODS WORD... MANY WILL FOLLOW AND TIME AND TIME AGAIN, MANY LIVES WILL BE SACRIFICED FOR GODS WORD. THEREFORE, THE WORD OF GOD SHOULD BE HANDLED WITH CAUTION AND SHOULD BE STUDIED UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. WITHOUT THE GUIDANCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, THE DEVASTATING POWER OF GODS WORD WILL BE UNLEASHED AND CAUSE DISASTROUS RESULTS TO THE ONE STUDYING IT... THAT IS THE REASON WHY THERE ARE PEOPLE WHOSE SANITY BROKE IN STUDYING THE BIBLE OR OTHER HOLY SCRIPTURES... THAT IS THE REASON WHY THERE ARE MANY RELIGIOUS BATTLES THAT HAVE BEEN FOUGHT WITH GODS WORD- SWORD TO SWORD, DOCTRINE TO DOCTRINE... IN THE SPIRITUAL CONTEXT, CERTAIN POWER WORDS ARE QUICK, POWERFUL, 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 THOUGHTS AND INTENTS OF THE HEART. I HAVE OBSERVED THIS TO BE TRUE IN CERTAIN POWER WORDS ESPECIALLY THOSE WHICH ARE DIVINE NAMES... DIVINE NAMES AND POWER WORDS ARE DANGEROUS WITHOUT THE RIGHTEOUSNESS THAT IS NEEDED TO BE PRACTICED ALONG WITH IT... IT TAKES GREAT SELF CONTROL AND DISCIPLINE TO REAP OUT THE BENEFICIAL EFFECTS OF THE WORD OF GOD AND TO PACIFY THE DISASTROUS EFFECTS OF THE WORD OF GOD... THE WORD OF GOD CAN KILL, CAN CAUSE INJURY AND CAUSE TEMPORARY OR PERMANENT DISABILITY IS USED INDISCRIMINATELY... ONLY GODS WORD CAN COUNTERACT THE HARMFUL EFFECT OF GODS WORD... ONLY THE WORD OF GOD CAN SAFEGUARD THE WORD OF GOD... AND ONLY GOD CAN REVERSE OR PREVENT THE EFFECTS OF GODS WORD... THE WORDS IS QUICK TO RESPOND AND POWERFUL, BUT ONLY IF PERMISSION IS GRANTED BY GOD... FOR ALL OF GODS WORDS ARE UNDER GOD... TO THOSE WHO ARE ENTRUSTED WITH GODS WORD, MAY IT BE THAT GODS WORDS ENTRUSTED TO YOU BEAR GOOD FRUIT, TO HELP HUMANITY AND THE SOULS OF THE PEOPLE... MAY IT BE THAT GODS LIGHT SPREAD TO THE WORLD AND THE WORD OF GOD ACT IN RIGHTEOUSNESS... MAY GOD BE MERCIFUL UPON THE HUMAN LOT AND MAY THOSE WHOSE SOULS ARE IN DARKNESS SEE THE LIGHT OF GOD AND FOLLOW THE LIGHT OF GOD... THANKING GOD OF GODS, LORD OF LORDS FOR EVERYTHING. TO GOD BE THE GLORY FOREVER AND EVER. AMEN.
