The best swords are razor sharp. There is a Sword that is so sharp that when it cuts, it heals! A Sword so sharp that even though it divides, it unites! A Sword so sharp that even though it kills, it gives Life! A Sword so sharp that it protects and conquers All. "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."
Now, there is only room in Life for one sword. Having two swords leads to division, leads to battle, leads to war, leads to death. "Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword." Beside a literal sword, this verse is referring to our own personal sword to defend oneself, like our words, our devices, and our strategies to win in life.
When we have The Sword, the Word of God, in our lives, it is the only "offensive weapon" we need to win in life, to be Victorious!
"Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with Truth, and having on the breastplate of Righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of Peace; Above all, taking the shield of Faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of Salvation, and the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God."
