Sword of the Spirit

"And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God." – Ephesians 6:17 NKJV

Scripture Reflection
When the enemy tempts us to question truth, the Sword of the Spirit—God’s Word—is our defense. We are not powerless. The Holy Spirit brings the Word alive, guiding us to speak it with authority and pray it with purpose.

Application
Immerse yourself in Scripture. Meditate on it. Speak it. Hide it in your heart so when lies arise, you can declare, “It is written.” Don’t let your sword stay in its sheath—wield it daily.

? Connection
Thank You, Lord, for the gift of Your Word, which is sharper than any two-edged sword. Help me deepen my understanding and stay rooted in truth. Guard my heart against deception as I wear the helmet of salvation and wield the Sword of the Spirit. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

? Reflection Question: How can you wield the Sword of the Spirit more actively this week?
