Ephesians 6:16-17 Part 2 of 3

In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.  

Take the helmet of salvation 
Isaiah 59:17  He put on righteousness as his breastplate, and the helmet of salvation on his head; he put on garments of vengeance and wrapped himself in zeal as in a cloak.
1 Thessalonians 5:8  But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet. 

and the sword of the Spirit 
Isaiah 49:2  He made my mouth like a sharpened sword, in the shadow of his hand he hid me; he made me into a polished arrow and concealed me in his quiver. 
Revelation 1:16  In his right hand he held seven stars, and coming out of his mouth was a sharp, double-edge sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance.
Revelation 2:12  "To the angel of the church in Pergamum write: These are the words of him who has the sharp, double-edged sword."
Revelation 2:16  "Repent therefore! Otherwise I will soon come to you and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth." 
Revelation 19:15  Coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword with which to strike down nations. "He will rule them with an iron scepter." (Psalm 2:9) He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty.

which is the word of God 
Hebrews 4:12  For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
Mark 4:14  "The farmer sows the word."
Luke 5:1  One day as Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret, the people were crowding around him and listening to the word of God. 
Luke 11:28  He replied, "Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it."
John 10:35-36  "If he called them 'gods' to whom the word of God came--and Scriptures cannot be set aside--what about the one whom the Father set apart as his very own and sent him into the world? Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, 'I am God's Son?"
