Dutch Sheets: The Sword of the Spirit is the Spoken Word of God (Ephesians

Dutch Sheets: The Sword of the Spirit is the Spoken Word of God (Ephesians 6:17)
Dutch speaks at the Santa Maria Healing Rooms hosted by Julie Meyer on November 23, 2019.
Quotes: Ephesians 6:17 it says, “Take the sword of the Spirit which is the word of God.” The word there is rhema, which simply means “spoken words.” It is not a sword against the enemy until you say it. Just thinking about the Word is not doing anything to the devil. When it comes out of your mouth it does something in the atmosphere. Jesus didn't just think, “peace be still” to the storm. He said it. He didn't say it because storms can hear. He said it because spoken words have power when they come from God.”

You have been “blessed to be a blessing.” (Genesis 12:2) Pay it forward!

When He says, "Take the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God." He says, it's a weapon against the enemy. Jesus showed us when He was tempted what the best weapon was. Every time the devil tried to do something, He said, "It is written." Must've been frustrating to the devil. He wants a conversation. Jesus just says, "It's written."

When you release the word of the Lord, the enemy has no defense, it becomes a sword. But when He says, "Take the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God," the word there is rhema. There's graphe - written words. These are not just... they're just not even religious words. They just apply to religious things also. Graphe is written down words. Rhema is words coming out of your mouth, spoken words.

Logos is the message in the words. Three words for words in the New Testament. So you have the written word. Jesus said, "It is written." Graphe, He took the written down words and He said them, that's rhema. And the message in the words is logos. We get the word logic from logos. That's why Jesus is called "The Word." He's not called the rhema and He's not called the graphe. He's more than the written word and He's more than spoken words, He's the message in the words.

Ephesians 6, says, "Take the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God." He says rhema.
There are teachings that rhema means revelation. That when God gives you a revelation, that's a rhema. God can give you revelation from graphe or rhema. But that's not what the word means. The word rhema simply means spoken words. So, when you put that back into the verse, what it says is, "Take the spoken word, which is the sword of the spirit." It is not a sword against the enemy until you say it. Just because you think it, it's not doing anything to the devil. It is helping you, and you can meditate on it. But even meditation means to speak and mutter and not just think about.

But you can think about the word and it can help you and encourage you, but it's not a sword against the devil until you say it. When it comes out of your mouth, it does something in the atmosphere. You start decreeing what God says out loud, your atmosphere in your house will change. You start decreeing what God says about you, your mind will change. You start decreeing what He says about California, California will change.

It won't happen just because we came here. And it won't happen just because we leave here encouraged. It won't happen just because we have faith. It will happen when that faith causes us to release something. This (pointing to his mouth) is the outlet of your spirit. Jesus didn't just think, "peace be still to the storm." He said it. And He didn't say it because storms can hear. He said it because spoken words have power... when they come from God. He didn't say to the fig tree, or He didn't think to the fig tree, nobody's going to eat from you again. He said it. And He didn't say it because fig trees can hear. He said it because the power in Him needed to get out of His mouth. That's why He said, "Lazarus come forth."

The devil tried to stop me and my back tried to stop me, but I got it done! Get her done! (crowd laughs) So, we're going to decree now one more time over this region. Can I just have the worship team up here? This lady, Julie... I was in a meeting with her in Kansas, three or four, five years ago. We're finished, the meeting's over. I'm grabbing my Bible. I hear this, "Dutch!" I don't know if she even remembers it. She's at the keyboard, "Dutch." She starts singing, about giving God 15 minutes, remember that? She says, you're going to change a nation through the number 15. It took me a while to figure out what the Lord wanted to do with that. But we have an app now called "Give Him 15." It's a free app. You should get it.
