THE ARMOUR OF GOD
The Belt Of Truth
The Breastplate Of Righteousness
The Shoes Of Readiness and Peace
The Shield Of Faith
The Helmet Of Salvation
The Sword Of The Spirit
Let’s Explore ....The Sword Of The Spirit
“…and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” Ephesians 6:14
The Roman soldier carried a small dagger and a large double–edged sword used for thrusting.
The sword was usually about 24 inches long, and 2 inches wide with parallel sides.
This particular weapon was developed after the Romans observed the effectiveness
of the short sword in the hands of the battle–hardened Spanish mercenaries.
Formerly, the Roman army used a much bigger “slashing” sword.
This new shorter and more pointed “piercing” sword proved to be much more effective in close–quarter combat.
In an era when almost any wound could be fatal, this short sword was the power behind the Roman army machine.
The sword was always carried on the right side in a decorated wooden scabbard.
The sword and scabbard were usually attached to either the belt or to a leather strap worn over the shoulder.

Application: Jesus Is The Word Of God
When used at close range by a skilled soldier, the sword was a deadly weapon.
Paul tells us that the sword represents the Word of God, the written picture of Jesus.
He is the living version of everything God wanted to say to mankind.
God’s Word is a powerful weapon against our enemy when it's used under the spirit's power and direction.
