Sermons About Sword
Steel and Flesh
The Sword, God's Word is here to bring us closer to Him. Often we look at scripture as a band-aid something to just make us feel better, however what this is all about is to bring us into a closer relationship with our Creator! We often look at this as a bad thing, especially since a sword is given to us a the picture, but what we need to see is that just as a surgeon cuts away the bad, so does God so healing, and wholeness of relationship can be restored.

Entering the Combat Zone
You have answered the call to arms and been inducted in God's army. You have studied about enemy strategy and territory. You learned about God's battle plan and been armed with defensive and offensive weapons. With this lesson, you actually enter the combat zone and begin to fight! This chapter is the first in a series which focus on Satan's strategies and Scriptural counterstrategies for overcoming his deceptive tactics.

Parallels of Spiritual Warfare
The early Church viewed their spiritual experience in terms of warfare. Protection is described as the "armor of God." The Word of God is compared to a "sword." Satan's attacks are fiery darts and faith is the "good fight." Believers are told to "war a good warfare." Why did God choose the example of natural warfare to describe what is happening in the spirit world between the forces of good and evil? The answer is found in a basic Biblical principle: Natural principles of spiritual truth. God uses natural principles to explain what is happening in the spirit world. We can understand what we see in the natural world. When parallels are drawn between something in the natural world and the spiritual world, then we can understand the spiritual because of the natural. Jesus used this principle often.

God's Battle Plan
As we move from Basic Training to combat techniques we learn no matter what our condition or what we have done we can get up and fight. The just man falleth seven times but riseth up again. Basic battle for spiritual warfare. It is a strategy resting upon understanding the purposes of our warfare and based upon communication with our Commander-in-Chief by prayer, fasting, and the written Word of God. When you do not understand God's purpose and plan, you may be tempted to become discouraged in the conflicts of life. This is why many Christian soldiers fail in warfare: They do not understand the divine purpose behind the battle.

Something To Hold On To
The Scriptures which are contained in, and only in, the Old and New Testaments are to be the final rule for the faith and life of every true believer. Anything else is compromise with the world and its system of beliefs. When faced with temptations to compromise, from without and within, we should remember the church at Pergamum and learn from them how to hold onto Jesus and to the faith once for all delivered to the saints.
