Fighting back!
“… and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God” (Ephesians 6:17)
We have already read about various pieces of the armor of God that protect us against Satan’s attacks. Today’s piece, the sword of the Spirit, is not just meant as protection but also to keep the enemy away or even wound him. Read James 4:7 - “Resist the devil, and he will flee from you”. We are not helpless!
The best example of using this sword is given by Jesus. When Satan tempted him in the desert, Christ responded to every temptation by quoting a relevant passage of Scripture. Whenever Satan told a lie or a partial truth, Jesus responded with the phrase: “It is written...” and then cited some verses from the Bible that exposed Satan’s lies. After three attempts, the devil left him. God’s Word is so powerful that Satan has to give up and flee.
This sword of the Spirit thus means quoting or echoing God’s trustworthy word whenever you face Satan’s lies. That requires a deep knowledge of the Bible. Only then are you prepared for battle, and only then are you able to resist the devil.
Are you experienced in using the sword of the Spirit?
