Man perishes for lack of knowledge. Paul speaks in terms of a Soldier in a war for a reason. The Sword of the Spirit, being the mighty word of God himself, reflects Genesis to Revelation and without revelation knowledge from God, Holy Spirit inspired- most men fail to see the truth. God is faith.. the word is God, God is the word.. In Genesis God said, "Let there be light," - he spoke the word in to being. FAITH- The word became the world and all its creation.. The power of life and death is in the tongue , James says.. when one truly exposes themselves to the unadulterated word of God and challenges all of their own assumptions, the truth can be found..
