In the Roman soldier's armor, the sword was not what we may typically envision as a sword - long with a hilt. Rather, it was a short sword, more like a dagger in a scabbard, designed for close hand-to-hand combat.

This is particularly significant when we understand that the Word of God is referred to as the Sword of the Spirit in Ephesians 6:17. In other words, the enemy plans to attack us in ways that are up close and personal, and for those battles, we MUST be armed with powerful Word of God.

Hebrews 4:12a tells us that "the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword." In this episode, I share how this powerful tool can be used not only to cut out harmful things from our lives but also to create and add beautiful things that make for our growth!

This episode is a continuation of our series on the armor of God, but it is also something of a special edition. I share four specific instances from my own life where the Word of God spoke CLEARLY into situations I was facing and how the Scriptures powerfully changed me and assured me of God's work amidst difficult circumstances!

So turn in your Bibles to Ephesians 6:17 for this SPECIAL episode of Rinse and Repeat!
