Welcome to the Daily Blade . The Word of God is described as the sword of the Spirit , the primary spiritual weapon in the Christian's armor against the forces of evil . Your hosts are Joby Martin and Kyle Thompson , and they stand ready to equip men for the fight . Let's sharpen up .
Finally , be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might .
Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil , for we do not wrestle against flesh and blood , but against the rulers , against the authorities , against the cosmic powers over this present darkness , against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places .
Therefore , take up the whole armor of God that you may be able to withstand in the evil day and , having done all to stand firm .
Stand , therefore , having fastened on the belt of truth and having put on the breastplate of righteousness and as for shoes for your feet , having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace and , in all circumstances , take up the shield of faith with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one , and take the helmet of salvation and the
sword of the spirit , which is the word of God . We are here to equip men to push back darkness . We are in a spiritual battle . We are told that we have an enemy who is a thief that only wants to steal , kill and destroy . Well , how do you do that ?
Well , the primary offensive weapon In the arsenal of the believer is the word of god called the sword of the spirit , and that's what we are here to do .
Daily , we are going to sharpen the blade and in order for us to be able to parry the oncoming attacks in addition to our shield of faith , and be ready to have a surgical strike , not against people , not against flesh and blood , but against the enemy , the devil of hell himself , then we have to take up the sword of the spirit .
The sword of the spirit is the word of God , and the word of God is powerful and effective . The Word of God is living and active . The Word of God can do things in our life that nothing else can do . In fact , we live in a world that constantly bombards us with lies .
People spend billions of dollars a day to get us to buy into something that's not true . Men , you will be ill-equipped to stand in this world . You will be ill-equipped to stand for your family . You will be ill-equipped to stand for your church , for your country , for your community if you don't know the Word of God .
My hope and prayer , as we spend a few minutes every day together during the week , is that you would abide in God's word and he would abide in you . The Bible says in Psalm 19 , 7 , this the law of the Lord is perfect , reviving the soul .
The testimony of the Lord is sure that the Bible , the revealed , inspired word of God , preserved for us over the centuries and available to us today in a language that we can understand , in a translation that we can comprehend , it's the only perfect thing that exists on the earth .
Everything else is imperfect , but the law of the Lord is perfect , and the one thing that I want you to know is that the law of the Lord is perfect and the one thing that I want you to know is that the law of the Lord is sure . In other words , you can trust the Bible because the Bible is true .
I hope you tune in every single day and we're going to spend a few minutes talking about a few verses , sometimes longer passages , sometimes shorter , but what I want you to be able to do is to trust God's Word because it is true and it is trustworthy .
