The Battle Within: Unleashing the Power of Scripture and Prayer in Spiritual Warfare - 168
Dietrich Bonhoeffer once said, “the deceit, the lie of the devil, consist of this: that he wishes to make man believe that he can live without God’s word.” But in all reality, that is living with no authority.
In the Roman Empire, soldiers held a position of authority and were known for their strength, discipline, and allegiance to the state. They were tasked with maintaining law and order, defending the empire, and enforcing the will of the ruling authorities. Roman soldiers were equipped not only with skill and training in hand-to-hand combat, but also with specific tools, one of which was the sword.
The sword was more than just a weapon. It symbolized the soldier's authority and ability to enforce the laws and orders of the empire. It represented the might of the Roman government and its reach in maintaining peace and subduing rebellion. The very presence of a soldier carrying a sword was often enough to discourage opposition or defiance.
Drawing from this context, we see a parallel connection to the spiritual world. In Ephesians 6:17, the "sword of the Spirit" is mentioned as a key component of the Christian's armor. This figurative sword is actually the Word of God, the Bible. In the same way that a Roman soldier's sword was a symbol of authority and power, the Word of God holds authority and power in the spiritual realm.
This week we discuss how we need the Word of God to defeat Satan and his demonic forces. We also talk about the two different Greek terms that are often used in the Bible, "logos and rhema". What do those terms mean in association with God's Word and how we live using it as a weapon? There is a distinct difference.
