Ready to Fight - Day 5 of 5

Day 5: The Sword of the Spirit

Five-day devotional based on the message, "Ready to Fight" by Senior Pastor Jeff Maness on April 6, 2025. Click here to watch the video.

Devotional
The Word of God is our primary weapon in spiritual warfare. As Jesus demonstrated, Scripture is powerful enough to counter any temptation or lie from the enemy. Engaging with the Bible not only informs us but transforms us, shaping our identity and actions. The devil knows Scripture too, often twisting it to tempt us, but we must follow Jesus' example and wield it as our sword. Commit to immersing yourself in God's Word, allowing it to guide your thoughts and decisions, and provide the confidence needed to stand firm.


Bible Verse
“For the Word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.” — Hebrews 4:12


Reflection Question
How can you make the Word of God a more integral part of your daily life and spiritual practices?


Sermon Quote
“A single text of Scripture is better to meet a temptation, than all the philosophy which the world contains.” — Albert Barnes


Prayer
Lord, thank You for the gift of Your Word. Help me to engage with it daily, using it as a sword in spiritual battles. May it transform my heart and mind, equipping me to stand confidently against the enemy. Amen.
