And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. - Ephesians 6:16:
This is continuation from the blog "Spiritual Battle"
The fact that you can easily defend yourself from the devil attack is not good enough in the kingdom of God. In this kingdom, the children of God are not about to sit down and watch while others are going to hell and do nothing.
They are going to do the best they can by going to the battle using God as their might and strength to snatch their brother and sisters in Christ out of the mouth of the evil one and win them back on to their father whom he loves of them the most.
So how do we attack?
First we have to make sure that we are saved and have a strong relationship with the Lord on a daily basis. Otherwise we might get caught by the devil while we tried to save someone else. and then we hold high the sword of the spirit which is the word of God.
We can see how important the word of God is for a Christian in the book of Hebrew.
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. - Hebrew 4:12
The word of God is the truth we shall stand up on and built on and it is also the sword of the spirit.
Neither is there any creature that is not manifested in his sight and all things are naked and open unto the eyes of God.
Once the word of God hammer us and mold us to the shape the Lord want us to be, we are able to fight against every force of the wicked to revenge and to snatch others from his captivities.
