Armor of God--sword of the Spirit

This probably doesn't need a lot of explanation. We pretty much all know what a sword is. This is the one offensive piece in a suit of armor.

When you use a sword, you swing it in different ways to attack or defend. It is sharp and piercing. It can cut or hold back an enemy. In the same way, the Holy Spirit will speak the Word of God to our hearts--different words at different times as the need arises. It can be a sharp pierce when you need it, or dull thud to stop you from doing something stupid.

Your sword will be much sharper if you read your Bible and have the words in your head so the Spirit can bring them to your heart and mind at the precise moment needed.
