2Co 10:4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds,
Eph 6:17b and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God ;(NKJV)
The word of God is a great spiritual weapon. In the amour of God, it is the only item that has two purposes. Can be used for attack and also for defense. When the devil came to tempt Jesus in the wilderness, he twisted the word. Jesus engaged this weapon by telling him, “ it is written !”, this defeated the devil .We will not defeat Satan by reasoning with him, negotiating with him or just telling him to get out.
When you don’t know what the word of God says about a particular issue, you may loose the battle. The devil takes advantage of our ignorance causing us to live defeated lives. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God ( Rom 10:17). We can effectively use this weapon when we read, study and listen to the word of God. When we stand on what this word has said, God is faithful to perform it and so victory is guaranteed.
God’s word nourishes and strengthens you for battles, warms your heart and fires your spirit . The word of God is the food that makes you strong to fight. Success in spiritual battles depends upon daily spiritual food. A full measure of the word and prayer each day gives a healthy and a powerful life.
