Thought this small excerpt from a Spurgeon sermon would wet your appetite to read the rest of it. It can be found at www.spurgeon.org. Just look under the S in the title index and go to the Sword of the Spirit.

It was kind of long to post here, but O so good!!

Did any of you go to this web site and read the entire sermon? It truly is amazing...especially since it was written in the 1800's and sounds like it could still be preached in todays pulpits!

as do many of Spurgeon's sermons. The man could preach and had a great message. If you really want to be moved, read "Bride of Christ" http://www.biblebb.com/files/spurgeon/0282.htm

what Spurgeon is saying in the excerpt you posted here has a very deep level of meaning that may or may not be lost on us. When we are told to STAND, it literally means to stand still in the face of possible fear against the enemy. Not that we are to take the heads of the enemies military but that we are NOT to run from him.

Sword of The Spirit is the only offensive weapon of the Armor of God..... everything else is defensive, and there is nothing covering the back... which means, that we are to watch each others back and not to turn away from the enemy.....

if we turn away from the enemy, we leave our backs exposed and open for attack..... if we stop looking after each other, we leave our brothers open for attack as well......

Taking the word as a sword edifies our own spirit and others we encounter while manifesting assurity, and hope.

Ezra 4:22 Take heed now that ye fail not to do this: why should damage grow to the hurt of kings.

Ps 8:5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and has crowned him with glory and honour.

Pro 4:9 She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.

Everlasting,

"Take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God."

That is the weapon of attack in the solders armour. It is mainly used in defence as Christians are meant to fight evil forced but love everyone including people that dont like us.
