Verse 17 of Ephesians chapter 6. And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God. We have to ingest the word of God so that we can wield it.
You cannot speak the words of the Bible unless they’re first in your head and your heart. And this is a key reason for meditating. This is why we dwell so long on one or two verses at a time. We are taking this in.
If we didn’t have this verse in the Bible, if we hadn’t have read it, how would we have known that the Word of God is our sword? How would we have known that we can go on the offensive when attack comes against us?
So, my dear friends, there’s no shortcut for this one. In learning to wield the Word, we have to study it, we have to read it, we have to meditate on it. We don’t get better at this kind of spiritual warfare without practice and training.
Seek out opportunities to learn more about the Word of God. Discuss it with your brothers and sisters in Christ. And then you will be ready when the attack comes. And it surely will.
