POINTS:

• Every day has skirmishes of spiritual warfare.

• Sword of the Spirit & Praying in the Spirit are Offensive weapons given to us by God. They are meant to cut the enemy and send him fleeing.

• The Sword of the Spirit is meant for hand-to-hand combat when your enemy is up close.

• We use man-made methods for spiritually derived causes, and then we have no support from God in our fight.

• Graphe: The scriptures.

• Many people stop at Graphe, and they have no armor on.

• Logos: The message of Scripture worked into the deepest places of your soul and spirit. (The Armor of God)

• The Logos gets you out of the way of your transformation.

• Rhema: The Logos from the Graphe uttered, spoken, and declared.

• Satan knows the graphe, but he does not have the Logos, and he can’t stand against the Rhema.

• We should use Rhema when we pray.
