The Sword of the Spirit demonstrates a very easy method for memorizing scripture while enabling a deeper understanding of His Word.
It will change you.
You will establish a secure and solid foundation in Christ.
You will become spiritually stronger as you face different challenges throughout life in your walk with the Lord.
You will be set free from long-term sin, habits, and attitudes that have weighed you down and affected your overall Christian experience.
You will develop a new way of thinking and discover that old ways are becoming a thing of the past.
You will experience victory rather than defeat.
You will move on to maturity more easily.
A twenty-five-year-old has reached adulthood, but he is not as mature as the fifty-year-old. That twenty-five-year-old should not be thinking or acting like a child that is five, ten, or fifteen years old. Nothing of those ages should influence his maturity level, or he will have difficulty making it in life-and he will know stress very well. The same applies to us as Christians if we are not actively forsaking old ways and developing new ways.
Your arsenal for Christian maturity includes forgiveness, prayer, faith, resisting temptation, peace, enduring trials, renewing the mind, going forward, putting sin aside, and allowing God to live through you-just to name a few. They are the very essential basics.
The scriptures chosen for memory will set you free from unnecessary burdens of self that hinder your moving forward in victory. As you memorize and meditate on these scriptures, you will be set free from emotional baggage that guide your feelings, thoughts, reactions and decisions. You are renewing your mind and you are being transformed. It is what takes place in you by the working of the Holy Spirit, God Himself, as you memorize His Word-a genuine "new you"!
