Hebrews 4: 12-13

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. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

The word of God is ALIVE and ACTIVE. The word is producing every day of our lives whether we believe it or not. We are supposed to let the word seep into ourselves and divide soul and spirit so the spirit can reign. The process allows our worlds to become more abundant, not smaller. When our spirits gain knowledge, we gain ground against the enemy. The soul can lead us astray if given a chance but the spirit shows us how to reign with God.
