SWORD OF THE SPIRIT = WORD OF GOD
The world is subject to God's Word.
We should become experts in handling our swords. train for battle by reading, understanding, studying and committing to memory, the Word of God.
The sword is a defensive weapon, able to deflect the blows of the enemy. But it is also the only offensive weapon, capable of inflicting blows on the enemy.
The Word of God is "living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit." (Hebrews 4 12-13) Even Jesus used the Word of God against Satan (ref. Matthew 4:4, 7, 10). The all-powerful Word of God is able to cut through any and every thing the enemy has. When he Word is yielded by a servant of God, nothing can withstand its ability to cut straight to the core of a matter.
When you take the Scripture in your mouth and quote it directly, then it becomes a sword of the Spirit. When we take the sword in faith, then the Holy Spirit gives us the power and the wisdom to use it.
DON'T LET YOUR SWORD GET RUSTY AND DULL FROM UNUSE!
