The Believer’s Warfare
Message 9
The Sword of the Spirit
Me:
I love the bible.
The bible is on one hand so simple
Then on the other hand it is so deep.
It can be so profound
Putting on armor
We see can see that as something practical
Doesn’t that just make sense
For me the bible is alive
It’s not history
It’s not a good story
It is so relevant for the way we live
It so often speaks to the very thing I’m going through
We:
The sword of the Spirit
First and foremost a weapon of defense
We are soldiers
We have our armor (Belt, Breastplate, shoes, helmet, shield,)
The most effective we have will be the sword
The shield of faith blocks the fiery arrows
The sword can block the close combat attacks
You need both
Close combat attacks
Our weakness
These are the trouble areas we face
Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Slothfulness, Anger, Envy, or Pride
Satan will also use our trials against us
The sword of the Spirit we are able to defend against these attacks
We can also use it for offense
It is the power to save a soul
It has changed your life
We can testify to our family etc.
The power of this Word is incredible
God:
Jesus and Satan Face Off
40 Days in the wilderness
Luke 4
Preparing for ministry through fasting and prayer
Attack One
“Turn the stones into bread”
An appeal the ones pride
God has left you hungry
You can handle this yourself
“Man shall not live on bread alone.”
Attack Two
“I will give You all this domain and its glory,”
Satan’s goal was to get Jesus to doubt God’s plan for Him, and to bypass it.
Have you ever doubted God plan and went out and did on your own?
“Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.”
Attack Three
“If you are the Son of God throw Yourself down from here.”
Notice Satan quotes scripture Ps 91:11
Prove yourself God - here’s a test
In our immature ness God will
God is not some genie in a bottle to grant our every wish.
“Do not put the Lord your God to the test.”
You:
Brandish your sword
Show ourselves approved
Six ways to be know the bible
Hear it
Read it
Study it (Study notes)
Memorize it
Meditate on it
Apply it
Just Imagine:
Now you are the teacher
Notice the passage
The word of God is so powerful it transforms men from the realm of falsehood to that of truth, from the realm of darkness to that of light, and from the realm of sin and death to that of righteousness and life.
It changes sadness into joy, despair into hope, stagnation into growth, childishness into maturity, and failure into success.
Do you love the bible?
Learn and love it then teach others also.
