After fifty years in the prison ministry there probably isn't much I haven't heard. This is not a debate forum. We will agree to disagree if it ever comes to that. It is meant for discussions concerning the Poietes Group. Bible talks are welcome. I will be posting Bible questions, polls, O.T. items, comments, and anything suitable for everyone. You may do the same. .
Thank you for the history and breaking down the word meaning. It is always easier to use a phrase if we know the meaning. In times of frustration, or fear, or discouragement, I will say out loud, "Get behind me Satan" and I believe in it.
Revelation 1:16 - "In His right hand He held seven stars, and out of His mouth came a sharp two-edged sword; and His face was like the sun shining in its strength." NASV
Heb. 4:12 - "For the word of God is alive 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." NASV
The Greek word used for "two edged" is "distomos." Di means "two" and "stomos" means mouth. In the vision of the Messiah John saw in Rev. 1:16 was two mouths with a sword coming out of each one. The first one was the Holy Spirit putting the Word of God on our minds. It is given to us at the moment we need it. The second one is when we speak it. The Messiah often said "it is written" when resisting Satan. When we speak God's Word the moment he gives it to us, the demons will flee.
If you are led by the Holy Spirit, He will not allow it to be in vain.
