x(body) blade

Doctors know today that our minds don't store information the way some previously thought. For example your brain does not necessarily store whole words. Bits of words and letters are stored separately and as you speak your brain arranges and assembles the words and sends the information along to your mouth.

Now imagine the Word of God hidden in your heart, buried deep in your subconscious. Every bit and byte of your hard drive holding fragments. Letters, words, verses, chapters that the Spirit can call up to your remembrance whenever He wills.

The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. - 1 Corinthians 2:10b

But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. - John 14:26

This leads me to the third way to avoid sin.

Hiding God's Word in your heart.

I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands.
I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you. - Psalms 119:10-11

Words are powerful. They can affect hearts, change minds and set the world on fire. As the old cliche goes, "The written word is mightier than the sword".

How much more powerful then is God's Word?

For thousands of years man has been making swords. I heard once that swords in some cultures are given a "body blade" rating. I.E. if your new sword strikes a nice balance between tensile strength and the keenness of the edge it may be able to cut through multiple human bodies (x=number of bodies hewn) therefore earning the distinction of being referred to as an x(body) blade.

Many people commonly know the power of repetition, imagery and emotion when used with words. Imagine words that are God-breathed. Two dimensional projections of an infinite sum of God's power. An unlimited body blade.

For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. - Hebrews 4:12
