Word for the Day April 6 Sunday
By: Evang.
Cascille Hammack
"Love the Lord your God with all
your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be upon
your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road,
when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.
Write them on the doorframes of your houses and your gates." Dt. 6:5-9
God's
Word must be planted firmly in the hearts of His people. In Ephesians 6:17 we are instructed to, "Take the...sword
of the Spirit, which is the Word of God." The Word is our weapon to fight against the enemy of our souls.
The sword should be so melded to your hand that it never departs out of your hand. Would you go into battle without
a weapon? The Lord has equipped us with a powerful weapon to use against all of the opposition and darkness Satan will
ever attack us with here on the earth. That is why He commanded us in Dt. 6:5-9 how to keep the sword, His
Word, our offensive weapon, constantly melded to our hand. It is not an option to put it down. We are
in a spiritual warfare and we must have the supernatural Word of God in our spirit at all times to overcome the
enemy. 2 Ti. 3:16-17 declares, "All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting
and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." The Holy
Spirit opens our minds and helps us understand the inward witness of the authority of God's Word. James 1:21 instructs,
"Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the Word planted in you, which
can save you." Verse 25 explains, "But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives
freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it- he will be blessed in what he does."
