What is the sword in our hand that has two edges? The WORD of God. It is sharper than any two-edged sword. Its purpose is to execute vengeance upon the heathen. In the New Testament, this two-edged sword is part of the full armor of God we use in our spiritual warfare (Ephesians 6:11-17). We must remember, however, that "we wrestle not against fl esh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places" (verse 12). We are to use the sword of the Spirit to execute vengeance upon the forces of darkness and punishment upon satan, to bind the rulers of darkness with chains and their nobles with fetters of iron, to execute against them the judgment written. This honor belongs to all the saints of God. The Church of Jesus Christ has been given the honor of using Jesus' Name to cast out the devil. The Bible says that glory and honor are in The LORD's presence (1 Chronicles 16:27). When we speak in the Name of Jesus, the devil has to do Me, I will honor you. You are acting in honor, so the honorable thing for Me to do is to take care of you. You are obedient to Me, so I will be obedient to you." You draw nigh to God and He will draw nigh to you (James 4:8). The LORD asked me one time, Kenneth, will you do anything I ask you to do? "Yes, LORD," I answered. "You know I will." I know you will, He responded. But you don't understand that I will do anything you ask Me to do. I could hardly believe my ears! "What did You say, LORD?" I said that I will do anything you ask Me to do. Jesus says this in John 16:23: "Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you." I didn't believe that, though. I believed I would do anything God asked me to do, but I wasn't really sure He would do anything for me. There I was—born again, a man of faith and prayer, who was out preaching the gospel—but I didn't really think God would do whatever I asked in Jesus' Name. I did pray correctly, and I did have prayers answered, but that kind of thought had never entered my mind. Then The LORD asked me: Kenneth, don't you realize that I am far more committed to you than you are to Me? I loved you before you were ever saved. I loved you even before you were born. I gave My life for you. That stirred me to the soles of my feet. Honoring God With Praise Praise ye The LORD. Sing unto The LORD a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints. Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King. Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp. For The LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation. Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds. Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand; to execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people; to bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; to execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints.
