The Weapon Of The Word

Posted on by

The other day we talked about that we need to know what our weapons are in this spiritual battle we face each and every day.  So many Christians (so-called) do not give the Word of God a second thought.  Many do not even carry a real Bible with them if they even go to Church anymore.  This is sad.

Did you realize that the Word of God and prayer are the only offensive weapons we have?  All the rest of our spiritual arsenal are defensive weapons.  When we pray and read God’s Word we are on the offensive.  We are not to be offensive; but, we are moving offensively.

The other evening I walked into the bathroom to wash my hands and there was yet another spider high up on the wall.  I did not grab something to shield myself from the offending spider.  I went to the kitchen and got a fly swatter.  When I arrived back in the bathroom the spider was still perched there waiting to take me on.  It lost.  I hit him very hard and he fell to the floor and curled up into a ball.  He then took a ride down the circle drain to the sewer treatment plant.  I was offended and I was on the offensive and I used an offensive weapon.  We need to do the same thing in the spiritual battle of life.  Look at these words of wisdom in Hebrews 4:12, “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.”

So, how are you doing?

Our Weapons

Posted on by

There was a story of a woman who was shot in the arm in a retail store the other day.  The whole incident was an accident.  A man had his handgun in a holster in the waistband of his pants.  The gun somehow dislodged and fell to the floor and discharged, striking the victim in the arm.  She survived.  She had a small child with her in the cart who was not injured.  Praise the LORD for that.

If we are going to battle with the enemy of our soul then we need to know who our enemy is, what our mission is and what our weapons are.  If we do not know them we cannot use them.  I am afraid that this might be a huge problem in our Churches today.  Most Churches (or so-called) have no idea what their weapons are.

Look at Ephesians 6;13, “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.”  This is a command and not a suggestion.  Rightfully so, if we are going to at the very least defend ourselves and our families we must know what our weapons are.  I might add we must know how to use these weapons.  They will do us no good if we do not know how to use them.  They are just dust covered relics.

We have some so -called Churches today that want to argue over Bible versions.  This is bringing confusion into the Church and the Word says that our God is not the author of confusion.  The devil is the author of confusion  So, you and I need to get our weapons ready and know how to use them.

So, how are you doing?
