Speak spirit inspired words with authority. The authority you have in Christ Jesus, and God will act enabling you to take ground from Satan. We speak spirit inspired words with authority in Christ, and God will act. They're his words enabling you to take ground from Satan. The weapon we wield against Satan is the holy and spirit inspired word of God spoken with the authority we have in Christ. As we speak in Christ's authority, we are speaking with Christ.

Work diligently to develop dexterity, to get a feel for it, to be familiar with it so he could wield it quickly and easily. Their lives depended on their diligence in keeping their skills honed and ready for battle. Paul tells us that the sword that we wield, the sword of the spirit, is the word of God. Again, this is the only offensive weapon in the armor. God's word is the weapon that defeats the enemy. [00:34:19] (34 seconds)  #HoneYourSpiritualSword

And it's the only offensive weapon mentioned in Ephesians chapter six. It's the weapon with which we defeat Satan and advance against his forces of evil. Our text today are found in the books of Ephesians, Hebrews, and the prophet Isaiah. So Ephesians six, verse 11 and verse 14 to 17, we read this, put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. [00:31:10] (32 seconds)  #PutOnTheArmorOfGod

And the word is called the the sword of the spirit. Because through god's spirit, the word goes forth in power and accomplishes the purpose for which it is sent. When we raise the sword of the word of God, we are backed up by the very power and authority of God himself who spoke that word. And so our first point is this, the sword is God's spoken word. We'll talk more about that. Inspired and empowered by the holy spirit. [00:34:53] (39 seconds)  #GodsSpokenSword

But it can also be include quoting biblical truths in your own words. You know, it's like you begin to feel accused and ashamed, and you proclaim Satan, there's no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. I'm forgiven. I'm loved by the Lord. Those are biblical concepts. With such spirit inspired and empowered words, we're not only able to defend ourselves against Satan, but we're also able to advance and take ground from the enemy.

In Greek, there are two words that are translated word. One is logos, which refers to either written words or spoken words. Logos is very common in the New Testament. It can refer again to any word that is written by a person or spoken by a person just in common everyday conversation. But it also refers to the written word of God. And it refers to Jesus himself as the logos, the incarnate word of God. [00:35:38] (38 seconds)  #LogosIsTheWord

It's all uncovered. All of our rationalizations, justifications, our excuses, they all just melt away. And we see us as we are, and we realize, I'm laid bare. And so, the Lord is word is penetrating. It goes deep into our heart and does a deep work. The word searches us and reveals our inner motives, the things that are wrong, the things that are right. And that sharp word purifies us. It's like a surgeon's knife that cuts out the cancer as we allow it to do its work. [00:48:03] (54 seconds)  #HeartPiercingWord

Our God has reigned from eternity past. He reigns today, and he will reign forevermore. Amen. Good news. Today, we continue our series on the spiritual war. We're discussing the invisible war against Satan and his minions. The battle is real. We face and deal with it every day whether we know it or not. Sometimes we know it very clearly. And our enemy seeks to destroy us, to deceive us in order to destroy us. But greater is he that is in us than he that is in the world. [00:28:14] (41 seconds)  #GreaterIsHeInUs
