Part four of “Faith Comes by Hearing”

The Sword of the Spirit

Ephesians 6:10 – 17

Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power

Put on the whole armor of God

Belt of truth

Breastplate of righteousness

Shoes of peace

Shield of faith

Helmet of salvation

Sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God

2 Tim 3:16 – All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness.

There are 2 Greek words that are translated “word” in the bible

1)    Logos – The written word

2)    Rhema – The revealed word

Look at a eunuch experience found in Acts 8:26 – 38

1) Seek the truth – Prov 8:17 I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me.

2) Seek with the right attitude – Rom 12:3 do not think of yourselves more highly than you ought.

3) Seek Godly counsel – Prov 24:6 – for waging war you need guidance,

and for victory many advisors

Effects of the sword of the spirit – Hebrews 4:12 (KJV)

For the word of God is quick, and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword

Quick      Powerful       Sharp

Acts 2:37 when the people heard they were cut to the heart
