The word of God is more powerful than you!
Hebrews 4:12.
The word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
Just recently, I was on a Dallas Area Rapid Transit train and in the midst of a very crowded train, about three rows from me I heard a very irate woman yelling at a man. I'll spare you the details of her graphic language but she continued berating this man that was standing next to me for at least 15 minutes. At some point I had to finally say something, in which all the sudden I felt her anger focused toward me. Then I looked deep in her eyes as she readied her self for me to say something that would fuel more of her anger.
Then I said: "Jesus loves you!"
At first she rolled her eyes and said "I know that, you don't have to tell me, mind your own business!" Then immediately, the man next to me, the subject of her tirade, quickly moved down the aisle and out of her sight.
I was amazed! The name of Jesus is so powerful! Just three words, "Jesus loves you" diffused a situation that could have gotten very ugly. As his name escaped my mouth, it instantly breathed peace into the situation, it penetrated joints and marrow, it was sharper than a double edged sword.
This was one of those God moments which let you know, he is real, he is relevant, he is our powerful ally that will fight our battles when called upon, he is our Jehovah Makkeh, the Lord who strikes our enemies (Ezekiel 7:9).
So next time you find yourself in a potentially bad situation, remember this, the word of God is more powerful than you! It is a weapon that activates His will in our lives and can make things happen, sometimes instantly!
