INTRODUCTION
MESSAGE
The Sword of the Spirit
Sword
Not the long “samuri” type sword.
Sword - short one for up and close hand-to-hand combat.
Spirit
God’s being as controlling influence, with focus on association with humans
Because of its heavenly origin and nature this Spirit is called the Holy Spirit
Word of God
Rhema = that which is said, word, saying, expression, or statement of any kind.
(BDAG)
The spoken Word of God
We are to hide God’s word in our heart so that the Holy Spirit can bring those Scriptures to mind in the up close battle.
Look at the two different kinds of swords again.
This “sword of the Spirit” is not a broad sweep.
- it is for up close and personal attack.
Specific Attack - Spoken
“It is Written”
Jesus Uses the Sword of the Word
“It is Written”
Luke 4:1-13.
Satan also knows the Word - But omits part
Satan’s reference
Jesus response again
Jesus is the Word - Putting on Jesus
The Prayer
Any battle needs communication with the commander
Our communication with God
Prayer
All Prayer
General / Specific
Intercession
Petitions
Thanksgiving
All Times
Can we really pray all the time and still live?
In a state of communication with God.
All In the Spirit - Putting on Jesus
The Alert
Be Watchful
Be Mindful
We need to know when we are more subjective to attacks
We need to know when we are weak and vulnerable.
Be Ready
No your triggers
Say “TRIGGER”
