Psalm 45:3 - Gird your sword upon your side, Mighty One: your glory and your
majesty.

The sword of the Savior is His glory and majesty! He cuts through the doubts
and unbelief with the power of His mighty signs and wonders. He comes with
His mercy to heal and to save, with outstretched arms welcoming all who
would come into the fellowship of His love. Jesus turned the water into wine
that He might show forth His glory: with mighty signs and wonders he turned
back His enemies (John 2:11; John 4:48). He was anointed above all others
with the oil of joy, so that the joyful sound of deliverance might be heard
by everyone (Psalm 45:7; Hebrews 1:9). He was anointed with the Holy Ghost
and power - that by His majesty and splendor every yoke would be broken, and
every work of Satan destroyed (Acts 10:38; 1 John 3:8; Matthew 8:17; Matthew
10:1; Matthew 12:28; Mark 1:34,39).

The sword of the Lord is the word of God. It is powerful and sharp! It is
mighty to the pulling down of strongholds. It goes forth to conquer every
foe, and to subdue the willing heart; to take the vilest of men and
transform them into living epistles. The kingdom of God is advanced by the
King of Kings, who is even now enthroned above all things! The Word of Life
has come with authority to subdue and recreate all who are willing - into
the image of God in righteousness and true holiness. It must be our duty in
life, our pledge of consecration to join with His righteous cause: that
Satan's deceiving power may be stopped. Behold the miracle working power of
the sword of the Lord, as it dispels the darkness and transforms the lives
of men!
