And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God (Ephesians 6:17).
In John 8, the Lord Jesus addressed the inability of the Jewish religious leaders to understand His message. He said, “Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word” (John 8:43). To them, His words were mere speeches—sermons that didn’t penetrate their hearts. But to others, it was the living and active Word of the Spirit.
God’s active Word in your spirit, released by you, effects changes. When you want to change hopeless situations, you speak forth His Word. That’s what Paul calls the sword of the Spirit in the opening verse—the spoken, active Word. The “word” is translated from the Greek “Rhema.” It’s also translated “word” in Hebrews 4:12: “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword….”
However, the Word, even though sharper than any two-edged sword, is in its sheath until you speak it. When you utter it, it becomes the sharp cutting edge that demolishes the works of darkness. In Revelation 1:16, the apostle John, referring to Jesus, said, “…out of his mouth went a sharp two edged sword….” This doesn’t mean a literal sword was protruding from His mouth but that His words were a sharp weapon as they proceeded from His mouth.
The Greek word “stoma” is used for “mouth,” and it refers to the front or edge of a weapon. Your mouth is the front or edge of a weapon. When the Word of God comes out of your mouth, you’re cutting down cancer, you’re cutting down growths, diseases and poverty; you’re discomfiting Satan and the works of darkness. Your mouth is a sword. Use it to cut down the works of the enemy in your city, nation and nations of the world.
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the power of your Word in my mouth. As l utter your Word, situations align with the realities of the glorious life that you’ve ordained for me in Christ. Through my words, I bring healing and health, deliverance, victory and success to my world, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

The joy of the Lord is my strength. I will never, never be weak. That joy produces laughter deep in my spirit, causing my health to bloom and flourish. Nothing can weigh me down. I know no depression or oppression because I am buoyed by joy unspeakable overflowing in my heart. I have been brought into a life of unending joy, joy that comes from my inner man and transcends physical circumstances. My joy is of the Spirit; it is everlasting and cannot be dampened by sickness or infection. I am ever strong and alive, and confident that the joy of the Lord is my strength! I do not worry about my health or anything else because the Lord has perfected all that concerns me. I glorify God in my body, and it functions perfectly at all times by the Spirit.
Divine life is at work in me and that life is activated in every fiber of my being. I am the expression of the glory and dominion of Christ. I enjoy divine health realities daily. I refuse to be swayed by contrary winds or circumstances, for my faith is the title deed of unseen realities. I walk in the light of my inheritance in Christ, in power and grace, living in divine health and supernatural prosperity. I have received boundless grace to reign in life. I have eternal life, which makes it impossible for sickness or disease to dominate my body. No infirmity can corrupt or ravage my body.
My words release power to build and program me for success, victory, and divine health. As the power of God dwells in me richly through study and meditation, I daily chart my course, releasing the power of God into action. The rhema of God that changes things is always in my mouth. In the Name of Jesus, I am healthy and strong. My organs are invigorated by God’s power. I am excellent and full of glory, for the life of God in me is greater than sickness, disease, poverty, or failure. I am alive unto God, and my body is vitalized by the Spirit of the Living God. I am immune to satanic attacks. I am disease-proof and without blemish. I dwell in health all the days of my life because I have the eternal life of Christ working in me in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen. Speak in tongues.
