Joyce Meyer Devotional 7th December 2024, Saturday Message
TOPIC: The Word of God Is a Powerful Weapon
And take the helmet of salvation and the sword that the Spirit wields, which is the Word of God. – Ephesians 6:17 (AMPC)
God gives us the weapons we need to win every battle we face. God’s Word is a sword for us, and we are able to wield it against the enemy. Our swords will not do any good if we keep them in their sheaths, just as a Bible won’t help us if it just sits on a shelf gathering dust. To use our swords is to know, believe, and speak the Word of God.

If you wake up one morning and feel you want to give up, use your sword by saying: “I will not give up! I am thankful that God has plans to give me a future and a hope, and I am going to keep pressing on in faith so I can experience those plans” (see Jeremiah 29:11). God gives us weapons of warfare so we can use them. If you want to win, you will have to remain active. Passivity and wishing never win the battle.
Prayer of the Day: I thank You, Father, that You have given me Your Word and that I can use it to win the victory. Help me to remember to lean on Your Word rather than my own strength. I am grateful for Your promises that sustain me through every battle.
