The Spirit of Jehovah has spoken for me, and his word has been in my tongue. 2 Samuel 23: 2
There are some things that always go together: a person and his shadow, two sides of a coin, the leaves of the scissors; and the Spirit of God and the word of God. It is the word of God that establishes the will of God on earth, and it is the Spirit of God that energizes, enlightens and empowers that word.
For example, when God spoke for the world to exist, the Spirit was there (Genesis 1: 2b). When the first Christians "were filled with the Holy Spirit,. . . they spoke boldly the word of God "(Acts 4:31). And the "sword of the Spirit" is "the word of God" (Ephesians 6:17). When the Bible exhorts Christians, saying "be transformed by the renewing of your understanding" (Romans 12: 2), it means learning to think God's way instead of the way of the world. It means putting truth to replace lies. We do that by reading the word of God, which means that the Spirit is the means of transformation. It is the Spirit that gives us understanding that leads us to transformed lives.
