DRESS FOR BATTLE 6

THE HELMET OF SALVATION AND THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT

Eph 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

It is not surprising that Paul mentions both the helmet and the sword in the same sentence. The helmet is protection for your head. Truly the only offensive weapon we have is the Word of God.
If we fill our minds with scripture and spiritual things it will not only protect us from spiritual wickedness in high places but it will help us to reach others for Jesus.
Read your Bible enough to get a general knowledge of the entire Bible. Try to remember the verses that help you through the tough times and also the ones you need to use to witness to others.
God's Word is a formidable weapon in the hands of a Christian soldier who knows it well and handles it well.Unlike most weapons that are used to destroy, the Word of God is used to convert, it will change your enemy into an ally when used correctly. What greater way to defeat an enemy than to turn him into a Christian brother or sister.
