The Armor of God 6


"... and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. (Ephesians 6:17 NLT)

The last part of the armor is the sword.
With the sword, it's the first time we find ourselves positioned in defense mode and ready to attack.
The original text of this verse uses the word "rhema" , which symbolizes " the word express". The sword of the Spirit, which is the truth, means the word of God that we share, she is our weapon.
When Jesus was tempted in the dessert, He used the word as his weapon against the devil, always saying; "it is written..."
That's why if we posses the entire armor of God, we have the entire equipment for defense and attack, that we need to overcome evil.

The armor of God part 6

It is so amizing what the word of God can do when we use it in faith.It can change us inside when we just listen and when we put it in practice it can move mountains and drive away evil attacks against us.Thats how powerful and important it is to accept the sword of spirit,the word of God.

That is indeed true. Words have more power than we think. A simple word can make or break the listener.Jesus is the our weapon, whatever He says are bullets. Words complete our faith, because we hear and believe, then we will see... thank you Mrs Tania

The word of God is a weapon that we have to overcome all the attacking arrows of Satan. If Jesus as the Son of God needed the word of God to overcome, the same is needed for us as Christians to know and practise this word and in this way, we will overcome.

For us to overcome evil we must have the full armor that is the word of God even satan himself knows that he cannot put down those who use the word of God, our Lord Jesus is an example of this.

our victory in the spiritual war is the word of God.

It is important that we remember to use the armour of God at all times, as the enemy can strike at anytime. By reading the Bible daily it will give us the spiritual wisdom to fight against the enemy. Also by seeking his strength we shall be strong enough to fight the enemy.

Thank u Mrs. Tania for these inspired blogs! I'm so grateful to have come across them! I have been asking God for this very direction! Asking him to make me an able warrior in His work. I have honestly asked Him to arm me with this armour each morning as I start my day. Reading them is confirmation I'm headed in the right direction, I'm sure!! :)
