The sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God
Our primary weapon against the slanderer’s slander is to speak or meditate on promises/truth from God’s word.
In the Gospels, when we read of the devil tempting Jesus in the wilderness, in all three temptations Jesus resisted the slanderer by speaking God‘s word from Deuteronomy 6 and 8 — passages exhorting the Israelites to trust God in their wilderness experience.
Matthew 4:4 (NIV)
Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”
This is what we’re doing in each episode of this podcast. When you meditate on the promises/truth of God’s word, you are eating the Spirit’s bread of life.

A True Gift!
I am so grateful for discovering this podcast!! I tend to steer clear of spiritual practices because I’m worried they may not be in alignment with the word of God, but this is perfect!!! I will be sharing with others.
