Put Your War Clothes On 8

Put Your War Clothes On (8 of 9) Objective… To arm believers with the tools needed in light of the spiritual battle we are engaged in.

Spiritual Swordsmanship

Ephesians 6:17b NLT “…and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.”

Introduction: These two hath God joined and shall never part, dust on your bible and a drought in your heart.

Transition: The Christian army must be dedicated to the word, we should be delighted by the word, and we will win the victory with the word!

Exposition: There are three Greek terms for ‘word’…

1. Graphe (written) study

2. Logos (living) submit

3. Rhema (spoken) strike

We need our swords for the “evil day” (verse 13). In Matthew 4:1-11, Jesus teaches us how to handle the devil’s attack. We must beware of the devil’s bread, bid, and of his bribe.

Conclusion: Fight on, because the burden of proof isn’t on you, it’s on God!
