The Word of Elohim is active! It comes to life in living color in front of your face - AS you seek from Him! THEN - go-go-go!
Hebrews 4:12 is where the Word of God is called "living and active". Right on the heels of the verses about entering His rest. This means He energizes it more than just myself; so if a thing isn't done allowing this from Him, it's like soulish and at least half-dead.
Seeing it first, visually, in the mind's eye, is live, leading to "only doing what we see the Father doing" like Y'shua did. (John 5:19).
If the sword of the Spirit is the Word of God, as Ephesians 6:17 says, that's pretty sharp and active! Words- Get off my flat page into His Reality!
