"Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand."
Ephesians 6:13

The Armour of GOD;
Part 6. The Sword of The Spirit

"And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:"     Ephesians 6:17

Needless to say, what function has a soldier without his weapon? What are the implications of of going into battle without his sword. Does that not dimenish to *nothing his meaningful effect in the battle? Will His enemies not slay him? What is the sword of the Spirit? It is the direct word of GOD.
"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."
Hebrews 4:12

The wickedness of satanic power is great. GOD is of course greater, and this is your weapon. This sword combined with the shield of faith will make you more that a conqueror. A conqueror over the most vial of demonic spirits, this is the weapon with which to fight these powers.

The strongest delivery of the gospel of Christ is a direct quote from the scriptures.

The strongest rebuke to a demonic possessed or controlled individual is the direct word of GOD. It is a bright and shining light in the darkness, and a light that bright, when held up will either attract a person to it or to repelled them away.

Some people you can converse with. With others who wrestle against the truth of GOD with either blatent disrespect or vile subtility, it is necessary to deliver to them the words of life that have been absorbed into your spirit and conciousness.

So be prepared to offer to all the *power* of the straight and uncut words inspired by the Holy Spirit of GOD as recorded in the Bible. Remember that the Apostle Paul said that he was not ashamed of the gospel of Christ because;
"For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith."     Romans 1:17

People can see the righteousness of the Father, when His word is delivered. It guards against chatter. It speaks with authourity.

And note that Hebrews 4:12 indicates that the words inspired by the holy Spirit are a DOUBLE-EDGED sword. That means that it can perform the most delicate operation on a believing soul listening and being drawn by the Holy Ghost, while with the other edge it can set demons to flight!

Study, to show your self approved, an be a good minister of the gospel, which will reveal the righteousness of GOD to whomever ears it falls.
