Introduction
We will be studying from two passages of scripture today.
The first is and the second is .
Tonight we are going to spend some time together talking about the Armor or God.
This is a great series that we are in.
The Holy Bible - More Than Words.
We have talked about the Bread of Heaven, the Water of Life, and last week the Breath of God.
All of these lessons were about the Word of God.
Here’s the point - we don’t just read the Bible because it is a good book, although it is a good book.
But you know what?
JoAnne and I both enjoy reading.
JoAnne is a much more avid reader than I am.
Over the years we bought some real good books that we have enjoyed reading.
I don’t remember a one of those good books that we have went back and re-read.
This good book, The Holy Bible, is different.
The reason is that when we continue to read the Word of God, we continue to take in the fullness of God and we take God into ourselves.
In , the Bible says that Jesus is the Word.
So when we read the Word of God, we are literally taking God inside our bodies.
Let me tell you this, if God is in the house, something is going to change.
Something is going to happen.
Let me give you a gentle warning about the way to read the Bible.
Now listen - there is a way to receive the Word of God that is void of faith.
So I want to challenge you tonight that when you open up God’s Word and begin to read that you activate the God stuff on the inside of you.
If you come across something in God’s Word that is funny - laugh and thank God for it.
If you come across something that you don’t understand - tell God, God I don’t understand this passage will you help me to understand it?
Be diligent in the Word of God and as you activate your faith, there is something that will change on the inside of you and the Word of God will begin to come alive.
Tonight I want to invite you, as we study the Word of God, that you would combine what you hear with faith.
Ephesians 6:10-
Ephesians 6:1-
I want to draw your attention to verse 17 - this verse refers to the Sword of the Spirit.
It is interesting that this is the only piece of the armor that is defined within the verse.
The verse says that the sword of the Spirit is the Word of God.
In scripture there are two swords that we find there.
One sword is a great big long sword and it’s what we think about when we see a movie about possibly King Arthur.
It’s one of those great big swords that it would take most of us two hands to handle.
Now in the Bible only one carries that sword and His name is Jesus.
This sword is a completely different sword
I want to draw your attention to verse 17 - this verse refers to the Sword of the Spirit.
