The Sword of the Spirit

Ephesians 6:17–20 KJV 1900

17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; 19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

Coming to a close in our study of the armor of God what do we see

The whole armour is for us to be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

We don’t fight against flesh and blood.

When we put on the whole armor of God we have done all we can do to stand.

What are the parts

The belt of truth

breastplate of righteousness

Shoes of the Gospel

Shield of Faith

Helmet of salvation

sword of the spirit

What is different about a sword and the rest of the parts of the armour?

What is the sword of the spirit?

How do you use it?

Notice verse 17-20 is one sentence though it is broken up into several verses it is supposed to be one thought

How is the sword of the spirit used?

Paul gives us an example in the same sentence the weapon is named.

Pray and supplicate in the spirit.

Watch with perseverance and supplication

Speak boldly the mystery of the gospel
