sword of the spirit

So you see for the Christian it is not enough simply to live in quiet integrity. Fervent, aggressive prayer against the enemy in the knowledge of how Christ through Calvary whipped him and his nobles for our sake - that is, foremost that we might see Christ's kingdom manifest here on earth (Matthew 6:10) and destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8), is the daily duty of every serious disciple of Christ. But even that is not enough. Scripture makes it clear that the Lord requires His faithful ones to open their mouths in the public square and speak truth.
