The Sword of the Spirit



Making the Word of God the controlling force of our lives is a license to supernatural victory. Everything we want to get or become is in the Word (John 1:1-3).

If you take a closer look at the Scriptures in Ephesians 6:13-17, you’ll see that four out of the seven weapons listed, are rooted in the Word.
Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;
You know that faith is connected to the Word because it can only come through the hearing of the Word. So, if you want to go higher on the platform of exploits, embrace the Word.  Store it up. It will help build your faith.
The Word (the Sword of the Spirit) is the only weapon that is given to us for defence and offence.
And the Sword of the Spirit: A friend shared a testimony of how they went to demolish a dangerous shrine somewhere and the worshippers of the deities came to attack them. The war was a war of words. The idol worshipers made their enchantments, praising and making their claims to their gods. My friend and the other brethren with him, continued on the other side with the Sword of the Spirit and you can bet that the greater Sword swallowed the lesser.

We too can demolish altars and high places of the wicked by the Sword of the Spirit.

Action Point:
Draw up a study plan this year. Try to cut down on TV and social media. Add the time gained to your study time and I bet you, you would have achieved a turn around this year.
