The Word of God is a Powerful Weapon!

Shaila  D Touchton

The word of God is most hated by Satan. Attacking God's Word, corrupting the mind with erroneous principles and misinterpreting the scriptures is Satan's job. We know from scriptures that God's Word is pure, incorruptible, Inspired, Infallible, living, powerful, sharper than Any Two-Edged Sword, Spiritually Nourishing our Mind, Soul and Spirit. The word of the God Has the Ability to sanctify and cleanse us and has the ability to Teach, Guide, and Direct our Steps in our Life.

Satan attacks God's Word in several ways. Satan is constantly attacking Gods word by corrupting the Word of God, confusing the people. (1 Corinthians 14:33, clearly states, "God is NOT the author of confusion but Satan is), shaking their faith and by twisting the scriptures. Satan is a murderer and a liar , there is no truth in him, When he lies, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies" (John 8:44).He is a deceiver and he will seek to lead us astray from our devotion to Christ

In Luke 8-11-12, Jesus Christ tells the parable of the sower, the seed is the word of God . . . then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word. . Some people are like seed along the path, where the word is sown. As soon as they hear it, Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them."

In Genesis3:1-4: "Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, yea , hath God said..

We see that Satan in the Garden of Eden, attacked the truth of the Word of God by planting a small seed of doubt into the mind of Eve. These are the Few Examples in the scriptures Satan attacking Gods word.

We can conquer Satan by the power and authority of God's Word since every word of God is powerful, living, and operative. Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?" (Jeremiah 23:29). So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it" (Isaiah 55:11). "He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions" (Psalms 107:20).

We should not give any opportunity to the opposer for reproach" (1 Tim. 5:14). We need "To open our eyes, and need to turn from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, so that we may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance which are sanctified by faith that is in us" (Acts 26:18). Jesus came to rescue us from the power of Satan. "In as much then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage" (Hebrews 2:14-15). Therefore we need to submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from us which says in James 4:7. Satan still tries to destroy us, When we face any conflicts God gives us the weapons such as truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, and HIS Word. we need to resist Devil and remain faithful to God. We can overcome anything by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of our testimony.

    wonderful article! how nice to hear from someone from India! A favorite hymn: "In Christ there is no East or West,/ in Him no South or North,/ but one great fellowship of love/ throughout the whole wide earth!" Ah that we had practiced this more in our history!

    Thank you for sharing this great truth with us! The Bible has power beyond our wildest imagination and, as Jack said, it will help us stand strong against temptation! That is why memorizing Scripture is so important! We love and appreciate your zeal and love for Christ!!!
