Fighting Back with the Word of God

Greetings, Precious Family. May the Peace of the Lord be with you always.

Family, it is Friday already. We have gotten to the final peace of the Full Armour of God, but there is still one more piece of the armour that we will discuss tomorrow that is the invisible part of the armour. For tonight, we are picking up the final piece.

Key Scripture:

“…and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.”

Ephesians 6:17

Devotional Focus:

The Word of God is both defensive and offensive. Jesus Himself answered temptation with Scripture. When lies come, the Word answers. When fear comes, the Word strengthens. When exhaustion comes, the Word revives.

Life Application:

You cannot fight spiritual battles with empty hands. God’s Word becomes strength for weary souls and for those who know WHO they are and WHOSE they are!!!

Family, I am not a confrontational person EXCEPT when I am doing spiritual warfare. All bets are off when it comes to me standing my ground, in the Lord. I am a worshipper to my core and nothing will ever change that about me.

One of our greatest battle strategies is setting the atmosphere through praise, worship, and prayer, but we will talk more about prayer tomorrow.

Let Us Pray

Spirit of the Living God, we thank You for walking with us through each night of this series on the Full Armour of God. You have reminded us that we are never sent into battle empty-handed, but You have equipped us with everything we need to stand strong in faith and victory.

Tonight, we thank You for the Sword of the Spirit, which is Your Holy Word. Teach us to study it, treasure it, and hide it deep within our hearts so that we may rightly divide the Word of Truth. Let Your Word become our strength when we are weak, our wisdom when we are uncertain, and our defense when the enemy tries to speak fear, confusion, or defeat into our lives.

Father, help us not to simply carry the sword, but to train with it daily through prayer, obedience, meditation, and faith. Sharpen our discernment so that we will recognize truth from error and stand firmly upon Your promises. Remind us that victory is not found in our own strength, but in the power of Your Spirit working through us.

Family, may we continue to keep our armour ready for battle. Let us remain watchful, prayerful, and steadfast in our walk with Christ. The enemy may come, but greater is He that is within us than he that is in the world.

Be ready, family. Be ready! Stand clothed in the full armour of God, holding firmly to the Sword of the Spirit, and trusting that the Lord of Hosts goes before us. In Jesus’ mighty and victorious name, Amen. And we let it be and it so!!!!
