What is the two-edged sword? It is the Word of God in your mouth! When you keep the Word of God alive in your mouth, you don’t say it once in a week, or only when you have symptoms of a sickness. Put it in your mouth in the morning, in the afternoon, and in the evening. Put it in your mouth at night.

When you dream, dream about the Word of God. See yourself taking authority, not witches and wizards pursuing you at night or waking up with scratches all over. Let the Word of God always be on your lips. The Egyptians realized after the Israelites had gone that they had been plundered and made poor, so they went after them but it was too late. God’s high praise is so important because it is a form of the Word of God, and as you sing it under
