Sword of the Spirit

Logos & Rhema—Jesus is the Word

Ephesians 6:17 (NRSV) Take … the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.

In the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I take up the Sword of the Spirit, 

the Word of God. I embrace the inerrant message of Your Truth and Power. 

I humbly ask our beloved Holy Spirit to guide me into full understanding 

of the message of God’s Word. 

Grant to me the discipline and dedication to memorise the Word 

and to saturate my mind with its Truth and Power. 

In the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ and by the ministry of God’s Holy Spirit, 

grant me wisdom to apply the Word against the evil one. 

I seek to use the Word to deflate, defeat, distract and dismiss satan 

thus advancing the cause of Christ into all realms of my life.

Mantle of Prayer—

Ephesians 6:18 (NRSV) Pray in the Spirit at all times in every prayer and supplication. 

To that end keep alert and always persevere in supplication for all the saints.

I keep my armour shiny with the polish of prayer —

wrapping myself around with the mantle of unceasing prayer 

that is conversation with God—

staying focused on Jesus Christ and praying for believers 

and non-believers alike so that the Power of our Beloved Holy Spirit 

will so invade their lives as to see Your Name be hallowed! 

Your Will be done! Your Kingdom Come! Even so, come Lord Jesus! Amen.
