Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Heavenly Treasure

My child,

In this season, it’s crucial to regularly examine your heart, for where your heart is, there lies your treasure—those things you prioritise and are willing to sacrifice for. 

Consider where you invest your time, energy, focus and money. 

What treasures are you genuinely seeking? 

Are you chasing likes on social media, a platform for recognition, earthly pleasures and material wealth? Or are you pursuing the eternal rewards I have promised to those who overcome? 

These are challenging times and so you must remain vigilant; your enemy is after your heart. His tactics can be subtle and easily overlooked, often disguised as something they are not. Allow Me to examine your motives, and avoid the temptation of earthly treasures. 

Instead, focus on storing up heavenly treasures that can never be taken from you. Don’t be deceived by the enemy’s offerings that glitter like gold; they won’t withstand the test of My refining fire.

Seek My Kingdom and strive for treasures that endure. To find My Kingdom, you must dig deep, spending time in My presence through prayer and worship and prioritise Me above all distractions.

Activation: Read the letters to the seven churches in Revelation 2 and 3. Meditate on the eternal rewards that Jesus promised to those who overcome, such as the hidden manna, the white stone with a new name on it, the tree of life, the right to sit with Jesus on His throne, your name written in the Book of Life etc., as well as on the prerequisites to receive them.

Hidden Treasure

“The kingdom of heaven is like a [very precious] treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid again; then in his joy he goes and sells all he has and buys that field [securing the treasure for himself].

Matthew 13:44 (AMP)

19 “Do not store up for yourselves [material] treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 

20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in and steal; 

21 for where your treasure is, there your heart [your wishes, your desires; that on which your life centers] will be also.

Matthew 6:19-21 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Restore the Core

My child, I am desiring to clean out from your core that which is old and expired. 

There are still mindsets and ways that are riddled with holes and therefore worthless for your new season. Not only am I moving to pull down old mindsets but to also remove the remnants of old and mouldy mantles from your shoulders.  

I am seeking your  permission to enter the deeper recesses of your unhealed heart. 

Will you allow Me into the forgotten and hidden hurts found in the deep alcoves of your core? Allow Me to touch and restore these places to My original intent so that you may be able to speak truth and life from a healed and purified heart. 

Child, let Me in. 

Let Me strengthen your heart, and your inner being by the constant in-filling of My Spirit. 

Allow My Word to renew you with truth, knowledge, and understanding, renewing your true identity and destiny, bringing the freedom you desire through your healing. 

Prayer: 

LORD, I thank you that according to Your word in Ephesians 3:16 You will grant me, according to the riches of Your glory, that I am strengthened with might through Your Spirit in my inner man. Today I release my deep inner being and all the places within me where I still need completed healing in over to You, I choose to hand these places over to you now and receive Your strength and freedom through a fresh infilling of the Holy Spirit now in Jesus name.

May He grant you out of the riches of His glory, to be strengthened and spiritually energized with power through His Spirit in your inner self, [indwelling your innermost being and personality],

Ephesians 3:16 (AMP)

Therefore we do not become discouraged [spiritless, disappointed, or afraid]. Though our outer self is [progressively] wasting away, yet our inner self is being [progressively] renewed day by day.

2 Corinthians 4:16 (AMP)

13 I would have despaired had I not believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD
In the land of the living.

14 Wait for and confidently expect the LORD;
Be strong and let your heart take courage;
Yes, wait for and confidently expect the LORD.

Tuesday Morning Scripture – Psalm 27

A Psalm of Fearless Trust in God.

A Psalm of David.

1 The Lord is my light and my salvation—Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the refuge and fortress of my life—Whom shall I dread?

2 When the wicked came against me to eat up my flesh, my adversaries and my enemies, they stumbled and fell.

3 Though an army encamp against me, my heart will not fear; though war arise against me, even in this I am confident.

4 One thing I have asked of the Lord, and that I will seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord [in His presence] all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty [the delightful loveliness and majestic grandeur] of the Lord and to meditate in His temple.

5 For in the day of trouble He will hide me in His shelter; in the secret place of His tent He will hide me; He will lift me up on a rock.

6 And now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me, in His tent I will offer sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.

7 Hear, O Lord, when I cry aloud; be gracious and compassionate to me and answer me.

8 When You said, “Seek My face [in prayer, require My presence as your greatest need],” my heart said to You, “Your face, O Lord, I will seek [on the authority of Your word].”

9 Do not hide Your face from me, do not turn Your servant away in anger; You have been my help; do not abandon me nor [1]leave me, O God of my salvation!

10 Although my father and my mother have abandoned me yet the Lord will take me up [adopt me as His child].

11 Teach me Your way, O Lord, and lead me on a level path because of my enemies [who lie in wait].

12 Do not give me up to the will of my adversaries, for false witnesses have come against me; they breathe out violence.

13 I would have despaired had I not believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

14 Wait for and confidently expect the Lord; be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for and confidently expect the Lord.

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Be the Joy of the Lord

In the days ahead, the joy of the Lord will be essential. This is not the same type of joy that is typical of human experience, which is gladness rooted in emotion or an event, but it’s My joy – the fruit of the spirit. It’s the kind of joy that is sourced from Me and found only in Me because it’s an attribute of who I am. It’s with this same joy that Jesus went to the cross. And although His task was difficult, it made Him glad to do so because of the promise of the finished work and the reason for it: redemption. 

Know that what I am doing now also has a redemptive purpose, the harvest is on My mind. With this joy, I accomplish what needs to be done no matter how it looks. I judge with joy because My righteous justice brings forth repentance, reconciliation, and restoration. As those created in My image, I say to you ‘Be in My likeness!’ By My Spirit, I have given you My attributes, and if I am all those things and I am in you, then BE My joy! You will need this as it will strengthen you amidst the chaos and as things shift and shake on earth. Let the fruit of the spirit, joy, rule you. Let it overtake you and be the catalyst for your actions and speech. 

Though the coming days may be challenging, go through them with the joy of the Lord; the joy that is felt because it carries with it My heart knowing that as My hand moves and shakes the foundations of the earth, there is a promise of great harvest and restoration on the other side.

Fully step into your identity and as you do, you will see your own thoughts change as you align more with My thoughts and My ways. Your perspectives will change as you step into mine, and you will see situations and atmospheres around you shift. As you step into being Joy, you will then be able to pour out the oil of joy on others as you now become a beacon of light and a bastion of hope in the darkest hours.

Activation: 

But the one who is united and joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.

1 Corinthians 6:17 (AMP)

1 Corinthians 6:17 tells us that whoever is united with the Lord is one with Him in spirit. This means that we can access His attributes so that they become ours as well. Meditate on the fruit of the spirit found in Galatians 5:22.

22 But the fruit of the Spirit [the result of His presence within us] is love [unselfish concern for others], joy, [inner] peace, patience [not the ability to wait, but how we act while waiting], kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

23 gentleness, self-control. Against such things there is no law.

Galatians 5:22 (AMP)

Seek the Lord’s complete guidance on this asking Him to teach you His joy so that you can learn how it is different from the human experience. Then, ask the Lord to train you on how to embody the joy of the Lord.

Then Ezra said to them, “Go [your way], eat the rich festival food, drink the sweet drink, and send portions to him for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. And do not be worried, for the joy of the Lord is your strength and your stronghold.”

Nehemiah 8:10 (AMP)

[looking away from all that will distract us and] focusing our eyes on Jesus, who is the Author and Perfecter of faith [the first incentive for our belief and the One who brings our faith to maturity], who for the joy [of accomplishing the goal] set before Him endured the cross, [a]disregarding the shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God [revealing His deity, His authority, and the completion of His work].

Hebrews 12:2 (AMP)

Footnotes

[a] Hebrews 12:2 Sometimes the public shame of the cross is overlooked when one thinks of the pain and agony inflicted by it, but in the Roman Empire crucifixion was a shameful and disgraceful way to die, a form of capital punishment from which Roman citizens were exempt; and in Roman comedy it was used in a curse: “Go to a bad cross!”

Monday Morning Scripture – Galatians 5

Walk by the Spirit

1 It was for this freedom that Christ set us free [completely liberating us]; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery [which you once removed].

2 Notice, it is I, Paul, who tells you that if you receive circumcision [as a supposed requirement of salvation], Christ will be of no benefit to you [for you will lack the faith in Christ that is necessary for salvation]. 

3 Once more I solemnly affirm to every man who receives circumcision [as a supposed requirement of salvation], that he is under obligation and required to keep the whole Law. 

4 You have been severed from Christ, if you seek to be [a]justified [that is, declared free of the guilt of sin and its penalty, and placed in right standing with God] through the Law; you have fallen from grace [for you have lost your grasp on God’s unmerited favor and blessing]. 

5 For we [not relying on the Law but] through the [strength and power of the Holy] Spirit, by faith, are waiting [confidently] for the hope of righteousness [the completion of our salvation]. 

6 For [if we are] in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but only faith activated and expressed and working through love.

7 You were running [the race] well; who has interfered and prevented you from obeying the truth? 

8 This [deceptive] persuasion is not from Him who called you [to freedom in Christ]. 

9 A little [b]leaven [a slight inclination to error, or a few false teachers] leavens the whole batch [it perverts the concept of faith and misleads the church]. 

10 I have confidence in you in the Lord that you will adopt no other view [contrary to mine on the matter]; but the one who is disturbing you, whoever he is, will have to bear the penalty. 

11 But as for me, [c]brothers, if I am still preaching circumcision [as I had done before I met Christ; and as [d]some accuse me of doing now, as necessary for salvation], why am I still being persecuted [by Jews]? In that case the stumbling block of the cross [to unbelieving Jews] has been abolished. 

12 I wish that those who are troubling you [by teaching that circumcision is necessary for salvation] would even [go all the way and] castrate themselves!

13 For you, my brothers, were called to freedom; only do not let your freedom become an opportunity for the [e]sinful nature (worldliness, selfishness), but through [f]love serve and seek the best for one another. 

14 For the whole Law [concerning human relationships] is fulfilled in one precept, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself [that is, you shall have an unselfish concern for others and do things for their benefit].”

15 But if you bite and devour one another [in bickering and strife], watch out that you [along with your entire fellowship] are not consumed by one another.

16 But I say, walk habitually in the [Holy] Spirit [seek Him and be responsive to His guidance], and then you will certainly not carry out the desire of the [g]sinful nature [which responds impulsively without regard for God and His precepts]. 

17 For the sinful nature has its desire which is opposed to the Spirit, and the [desire of the] Spirit opposes the [h]sinful nature; for these [two, the sinful nature and the Spirit] are in direct opposition to each other [continually in conflict], so that you [as believers] do not [always] do whatever [good things] you want to do. 

18 But if you are guided and led by the Spirit, you are not subject to the Law. 

19 Now the practices of the [i]sinful nature are clearly evident: they are sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality (total irresponsibility, lack of self-control), 

20 [j]idolatry, [k]sorcery, hostility, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions [that promote heresies], 

21 envy, drunkenness, riotous behavior, and other things like these. I warn you beforehand, just as I did previously, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. 

22 But the fruit of the Spirit [the result of His presence within us] is love [unselfish concern for others], joy, [inner] peace, patience [not the ability to wait, but how we act while waiting], kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 

23 gentleness, self-control. Against such things there is no law. 

24 And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the [l]sinful nature together with its passions and appetites.

25 If we [claim to] live by the [Holy] Spirit, we must also walk by the Spirit [with personal integrity, godly character, and moral courage—our conduct empowered by the Holy Spirit]. 

26 We must not become conceited, challenging or provoking one another, envying one another.

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Glory Rewards

The Lord says to you today, with great excitement:

“Rejoice in me! I will reward My people in unexpected ways. Those who have stayed faithful to Me in the fire of the past season will receive My glory in new measures. Know that nothing of the previous season has been wasted. 

You have persevered and relented, and now I have prepared you to receive your bountiful reward! Your reward in victory will be great on earth but it will also be great in heaven. Beloved, treasures have been stored up for you.

Continue to partner with Me in the new ways – moving from glory to glory. Have faith and do not doubt that you are entering into that time now. Be alert, and attune to me. What are you hearing? Seeing? Perceiving? Notice how you are moving in My glory in a new way, even in everyday things. Ask Me about what you are seeing, and I will show you the ways in which I have equipped you for this glorious new season.”

Activation: 

1. Pray,  ‘Holy Spirit,  help me to see the glory rewards you have given me, and help me to stay connected and attentive to you throughout the day. Highlight your ‘new ways’ and give me insight and understanding, so that I can continue to partner with you in faith in this new season.’

2. Throughout the week, take a note of the things you are seeing and perceiving in the Spirit, even if they seem small. You may think that some of the things you are noticing are not the Spirit, but write them down anyway, as you might just be surprised! 

3. At the end of the week, go through the list and spend time with the Lord asking Him what He has been showing you and what are the areas he has been sharpening you in. This will help you see that the past difficult seasons have not been wasted. Have faith and trust that the Lord has and is blessing you this season to move from glory to glory.

19 “Do not store up for yourselves [material] treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 

20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in and steal; 

21 for where your treasure is, there your heart [your wishes, your desires; that on which your life centers] will be also.

Matthew 6:19-21 (AMP)

so that the genuineness of your faith, which is much more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested and purified by fire, may be found to result in [your] praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Friday Morning Scripture – Matthew 6:16-34

Fasting, The True Treasure, Wealth (Mammon)

16 “And whenever you are fasting, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites, for they put on a sad and dismal face [like actors, discoloring their faces with ashes or dirt] so that their fasting may be seen by men. I assure you and most solemnly say to you, they [already] have their reward in full. 

17 But when you fast, put oil on your head [as you normally would to groom your hair] and wash your face 

18 so that your fasting will not be noticed by people, but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees [what is done] in secret will reward you.

19 “Do not store up for yourselves [material] treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 

20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in and steal; 

21 for where your treasure is, there your heart [your wishes, your desires; that on which your life centers] will be also.

22 “The eye is the lamp of the body; so if your eye is clear [spiritually perceptive], your whole body will be full of light [benefiting from God’s precepts]. 

23 But if your eye is bad [spiritually blind], your whole body will be full of darkness [devoid of God’s precepts]. So if the [very] light inside you [your inner self, your heart, your conscience] is darkness, how great and terrible is that darkness!

24 “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon [money, possessions, fame, status, or whatever is valued more than the Lord].

The Cure of Anxiety

25 “Therefore I tell you, stop being worried or anxious (perpetually uneasy, distracted) about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, as to what you will wear. Is life not more than food, and the body more than clothing? 

26 Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow [seed] nor reap [the harvest] nor gather [the crops] into barns, and yet your heavenly Father keeps feeding them. Are you not worth much more than they? 

27 And who of you by worrying can add one [a]hour to [the length of] his life? 

28 And why are you worried about clothes? See how the lilies and wildflowers of the field grow; they do not labor nor do they spin [wool to make clothing], 

29 yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory and splendor dressed himself like one of these. 

30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive and green today and tomorrow is [cut and] thrown [as fuel] into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith! 

31 Therefore do not worry or be anxious (perpetually uneasy, distracted), saying, ‘What are we going to eat?’ or ‘What are we going to drink?’ or ‘What are we going to wear?’ 

32 For the [pagan] Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; [but do not worry,] for your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 

33 But first and most importantly seek (aim at, strive after) His kingdom and His righteousness [His way of doing and being right—the attitude and character of God], and all these things will be given to you also.

34 “So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

    Friday Morning Scripture – 1 Peter 1

    A Living Hope, and a Sure Salvation

    1 Peter, an apostle (special messenger, personally chosen representative) of Jesus Christ,

    To those [elect—both Jewish and Gentile believers] who live as exiles, scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia [Minor], and Bithynia, who are chosen 

    2 according to the foreknowledge of God the Father by the sanctifying work of the Spirit to be obedient to Jesus Christ and to be sprinkled with His blood: May grace and peace [that special sense of spiritual well-being] be yours in increasing abundance [as you walk closely with God].

    3 Blessed [gratefully praised and adored] be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant and boundless mercy has caused us to be born again [that is, to be reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, and set apart for His purpose] to an ever-living hope and confident assurance through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 

    4 [born anew] into an inheritance which is imperishable [beyond the reach of change] and undefiled and unfading, reserved in heaven for you, 

    5 who are being protected and shielded by the power of God through your faith for salvation that is ready to be revealed [for you] in the last time. 

    6 In this you rejoice greatly, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials, 

    7 so that the genuineness of your faith, which is much more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested and purified by fire, may be found to result in [your] praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 

    8 Though you have not seen Him, you love Him; and though you do not even see Him now, you believe and trust in Him and you greatly rejoice and delight with inexpressible and glorious joy, 

    9 receiving as the result [the outcome, the consummation] of your faith, the salvation of [a]your souls.

    10 Regarding this salvation, the prophets who prophesied about the grace [of God] that was intended for you, searched carefully and inquired [about this future way of salvation], 

    11 seeking to find out what person or what time the Spirit of Christ within them was indicating as He foretold the sufferings of Christ and the glories [destined] to follow. 

    12 It was revealed to them that their services [their prophecies regarding grace] were not [meant] for themselves and their time, but for you, in these things [the death, resurrection, and glorification of Jesus Christ] which have now been told to you by those who preached the gospel to you by the [power of the] Holy Spirit [who was] sent from heaven. Into these things even the angels long to look.

    13 So prepare your minds for action, be completely sober [in spirit—steadfast, self-disciplined, spiritually and morally alert], fix your hope completely on the grace [of God] that is coming to you when Jesus Christ is revealed. 

    14 [Live] as obedient children [of God]; do not be conformed to the evil desires which governed you in your ignorance [before you knew the requirements and transforming power of the good news regarding salvation]. 

    15 But like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves in all your conduct [be set apart from the world by your godly character and moral courage]; 

    16 because it is written, “You shall be holy (set apart), for I am holy.”

    17 If you address as Father, the One who impartially judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves in [reverent] fear [of Him] and with profound respect for Him throughout the time of your stay on earth. 

    18 For you know that you were not redeemed from your useless [spiritually unproductive] way of life inherited [by tradition] from your forefathers with perishable things like silver and gold, 

    19 but [you were actually purchased] with precious blood, like that of a [sacrificial] lamb unblemished and spotless, the priceless blood of Christ. 

    20 For He was [b]foreordained (foreknown) before the foundation of the world, but has appeared [publicly] in these last times for your sake 

    21 and through Him you believe [confidently] in God [the heavenly Father], who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are [centered and rest] in God.

    22 Since by your obedience to the truth you have purified yourselves for a sincere love of the believers, [see that you] love one another from the heart [always unselfishly seeking the best for one another], 

    23 for you have been born again [that is, reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, and set apart for His purpose] not of seed which is perishable but [from that which is] imperishable and immortal, that is, through the living and everlasting word of God. 

    24 For,

    “ALL FLESH IS LIKE GRASS, AND ALL ITS GLORY LIKE THE FLOWER OF GRASS.
    THE GRASS WITHERS AND THE FLOWER FALLS OFF,


    25 BUT THE WORD OF THE LORD ENDURES FOREVER.”

    And this is the word [the good news of salvation] which was preached to you.

    Thursday Morning Scripture – Hebrews 4

    The Believer’s Rest

    Therefore, let us fear if, while a promise remains of entering His rest, any one of you may seem to have come short of it.

    2 For indeed we have had good news preached to us, just as they also; but the word [1]they heard did not profit them, because [2]it was not united by faith in those who heard.

    3 For we who have believed enter that rest, just as He has said,

    “AS I SWORE IN MY WRATH,
    THEY SHALL NOT ENTER MY REST,”

    although His works were finished from the foundation of the world.

    4 For He has said somewhere concerning the seventh day: “And Yahuah rested on the seventh day from all His works”;

    5 and again in this passage, “They shall not enter My rest.”

    6 Therefore, since it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly had good news preached to them failed to enter because of disobedience,

    7 He again fixes a certain day, “Today,” saying [3]through David after so long a time just as has been said before,

    “TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE,
    DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS.”

    8 For if [4]Joshua had given them rest, He would not have spoken of another day after that.

    9 So there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of Yahuah.

    10 For the one who has entered His rest has himself also rested from his works, as Yahuah did from His.

    11 Therefore let us be diligent to enter that rest, so that no one will fall, through following the same example of disobedience.

    12 For the word of Yahuah is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

    13 And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.

    14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Yahusha the Son of Yahuah, let us hold fast our confession.

    15 For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin.

    16 Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

    When you release your decrees; boundaries are set that cannot be overstepped, the enemy is bound, and My will is set into motion. When you prophesy My words, earth gets into line with heaven.

    Your voice is a weapon, a tool and a fanfare. Sharpen it through use, inspire it through studying My word, and empower it through understanding My thoughts. 

    For I am building a sound that is going out from My people that will bring down walls, cast fear into the enemy, release captives, heal the sick and send demons fleeing. I call you now to not only be a part of the sound, but to lead others in the cry of war.

    Activation:

    Where do you doubt the power of your words? Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal any lies to you now, and break agreement with them. Ask Him to show you how you sound in the spirit realm, to reveal to you the power that is in your voice. Where does He want you to speak, and what does He want you to speak over? Follow His leading, keeping your vision focused on what is happening in the spirit realm as you speak out what you see.

    Death and life are in the power of the tongue,
    And those who love it and indulge it will eat its fruit and bear the consequences of their words.

    Proverbs 18:21 (AMP)

    For the word of God is living and active and full of power [making it operative, energizing, and effective]. It is sharper than any two-edged [a]sword, penetrating as far as the division of the [b]soul and spirit [the completeness of a person], and of both joints and marrow [the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and judging the very thoughts and intentions of the heart.

    Hebrews 4:12 (AMP)

    Footnotes

    [a] Hebrews 4:12 In addition to “sword,” the word in Greek was used for the knife used by the priests to slit the throats of the sacrificial lambs and for the knife (scalpel) used by a surgeon.

    [b] Hebrews 4:12 “soul and spirit” used here to emphasize the whole person, not two separate entities as in other passages.

      So will My word be which goes out of My mouth;
      It will not return to Me void       (useless, without result),
      Without accomplishing what I desire,
      And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.

      Isaiah 55:11 (AMP)
