"The Mighty One"

"Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O Most Mighty, with glory and thy majesty." (Psalms 45:3) No doubt we all know that the Sword represents the Word of God, and that His word is sharper than any two-edged sword; so what, pray tell, does this sword spoken of have anything to do with "A Song of loves"? Having been where I was in the place that I would read God's word, yet had no clue what He was speaking through it, I can understand something about how it feels to be disconnected from the three aspects of what is needed to comprehend; God's Spirit, His Love, and His Word, all need to be present in our lives together for what is being said to matter in us. Before I accepted Christ into my heart, I thought I knew God, and I would read the Bible every day; but I had nothing seriously being spoken into my heart. It wasn't until I received Christ into my heart that I could see God's love for me; and it wasn't until I received Christ that I had been given the Holy Spirit to guide me through His word. Now His word is not just words that have been written on paper, but are words that have been written upon my heart; words of love, not judgment; words of compassion, not condemnation; these are the differences between those that have Christ and those that do not: for those that have Christ, His judgments are mercy and grace; for those that do not, His judgments are death and destruction. Besides this, Christ Jesus is the "Most Mighty", and He is the Mighty Warrior that will defend His bride and will permanently defeat His enemies, once and for all; as He came once in the form of love and compassion, He will return in the form of Fire and Judgment... "And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and He that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns; and He had a name written, that no man knew, but He Himself. And He was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven followed Him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of His mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it He should smite the nations: and He shall rule them with a rod of iron: and He treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And He hath on His vesture and on His thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS." (Revelation 19:11-16)
