And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. (Eph. 6:17)
George Patton, one of the late great American army generals, once said as he spoke to his troops, "Your job is not to die for your country, but to cause others to die for theirs." Whether we realize it or not, as Christians we are in a war.

The Bible refers to us as soldiers who must fight many battles through the course of our lives. This is not a time for Christians to go "AWOL" on God. The good news is that we don't have to be afraid of any battle we face.

God has given each of us an offensive weapon in our armor. It's called the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.

It's time to stop admiring our sword, polishing our sword—and even carrying it. We've got to use it! When we speak the Word of God boldly in faith, that mighty spiritual weapon cuts through every temptation or spiritual opposition that comes our way.

Commitment Prayer
Father in heaven, I am not afraid of the trials and battles I am currently facing in my life. I am confident to trust in You and know that Your Word is my weapon in battle. I will not lose! In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
