Text: 1 Timothy 3:16, 2 Thessalonians 2:7-8
The Bible in Proverbs 21:16 says “he that wandereth out of the way of understanding abideth in the congregation of the dead. Wisdom, knowledge and understanding all founded on Jesus Christ are the keys to victory in the kingdom-Proverbs 24:3-4. The purpose of Christ finished work on the Cross is to redeem and purify man from past iniquities (lawlessness and rebellion against constituted authority) to become a people zealous of good works -Titus 2:14; and to turn us away from future iniquities in order to bless us-Acts 3:26. This is the action of the mystery of godliness-Christ and the Holy Spirit -Colossians 1:27, 1 John 4:4 against the mystery of iniquity. The Bible says in our text that the mystery of godliness is greater than the mystery of iniquity.
The reason why a person works in the flesh is because of the operation of the mystery of iniquity (Satan and it’s cohorts) already at work on the earth which is releasing continually unclean and seducing spirits into people’s lives from their mouths.- Revelation 16:13-14, 1 Timothy 4:1-3.
The Bible tells us in Romans 8:2, that the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus had made us free from the law of sin and death. We activate the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus: by feeding on the Word of God(Micah 7:14): studying and meditating continuously on the blessings from the finished work on the cross and better things that accompany salvation(Hebrews 6:9; Colossians 2:15, Ephesians 2:6, Romans 16:20, 8:37,Hebrews 2:14).
The rod of Aaron in Moses hand swallowed the rod of Pharaoh’s magicians. Jesus gave the believer against unclean spirits to cast them out and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease(Matthew 10:1).The power is in the Word of God.(Luke 5:17, 6:17).Jesus had given the believer a mouth and wisdom (Word of God) so that the adversary cannot gainsay (Luke 21:15.So like Aaron's rod in Moses hand,the Word of God in the believer’s mouth as a two-edged sword will become a standard used by the Spirit of God living inside us to swallow the flood of unclean and seducing spirits released by the adversary against man.(Isaiah 59:19)
The Bible says let the redeemed of the Lord who God had redeemed from his enemies say and declare that he is redeemed (Psalm 107:2)
That is the essence of praying without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17). The enemy is releasing enchantments continually .The believer must consume these divinations and enchantments (Numbers 23:23) with the Word of God as a two edged sword in his mouth. We pray the answer. Power of life and death -Proverbs 18:21; blessing and cursing -James 3:10 are in the mouth. ).
The ball is in the believers Court. Over to you brother and Sister. The battle is raging in your mind. Will you keep your mouth shut. God told Joshua that the key to success is to speaking the Word of God to himself daily(meditate) to generate the power needed to observe to do the Word. In Ephesians 5:18, we are commanded to be filled with the Spirit always .How? By speaking psalms, hymns and spiritual songs to ourselves and singing and making melody in our hearts to the Lord,giving continuous thanks to God for all things in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ
God bless you.
