Sword Fighting: Applying God's word to win the battle for our mind Kindle Edition

See all formats and editions

Do you often feel defeated and weighed down by worries and fears?

Christians have the Holy Spirit’s help in all areas of life so why do we still struggle? Understanding spiritual “sword fighting” will help us win the battle for our mind so that we can distinguish between Satan’s lies and God’s truth.

This book is written for the ordinary Christian and each chapter contains testimonies and practical suggestions to address issues Christians struggle with:

* Anger * Impurity

* Worry * Low self-esteem

* Fear * Discouragement and depression

* Doubt * Withstanding direct spiritual attack

* Guilt * Bitterness and resentment

Christine Dillon has applied these lessons in her own life. A missionary since 1999, she has passed on these principles to many people she has discipled people in both Western and non-Western contexts.

Transform your life by applying God’s word to take captive the lies that repeatedly sabotage you and make you feel a failure.

About the Author

Christine never intended to become an author. The only kind of writing she wondered if she might do was biography. However, it was a surprise to her to write poetry, non-fiction, and now fiction.Christine was a physiotherapist but now she writes 'storyteller' on any airport forms. She can legitimately claim to be this as she has written a book on storytelling and spends much of her time either telling Bible stories or training others to do so.In her spare time, Christine loves all things active - hiking, cycling, swimming, snorkeling. But she also likes reading and genealogical research, as that satisfies her desire to be a historical detective.You can find Christine online at: www.storytellerchristine.comwww.storyingthescriptures.com (for Bible storytelling)https: //www.facebook.com/storytellerchristine/

I love having the place in Bible to find verses helping each problem. I hope to put them in a small notebook and when the devil attacks with the problems of life I can use the sword of the Word. Praise God!💞

Wonderful book about putting on the armor of God and using the Sword of the Spirit (the Word of God) to battle Satan/the enemy. Beginning with information about the armor and the Sword itself, the book then moves to common attacks from the enemy and ways to respond to those in addition to verses to counter those attacks. The author uses Scripture as the basis for all of the practices and then provides examples from her own life or those she knows. Great methods to be put into practice!

This book is an invaluable resource for all Christians. It is a practical and honest guide to help us use God's word against the lies of the evil one.
It is a short book, but I needed time to meditate on it and I am still thinking about it as I start to apply it to my life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Playbook for spiritual warfare
Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2020
This book is dynamite. It is the playbook for Spiritual warfare and how to get fit for the battle. The author begins by a frank down to earth discussion about the reality of spiritual warfare and reveals the most commonly used weapons of our enemy. The author then presents the defensive and offensive tools we have been given to fight in a down to earth manner. I love her style of communicating because she took verses and passages I’ve read, studied and heard numerous sermons on and boiled them down to basics, which is so simple yet profound. I kept thinking wow I never thought of it that way before. And I was highlighting like crazy. Here is one of my favorite quotes from the first part of the book. “If a thought or temptation comes into our mind and we can’t immediately combat it with appropriate verses or principles from Scripture, then we are spiritually flabby.” Well that was a call to action if I ever heard one. She had my full attention. I had to admit I’m spiritually flabby and now I wanted to know how to get in shape. Then similar to Paul’s epistles, in the second part of the book she takes the information we just learned and applies it practically to a myriad of common areas where we get tripped up as Christians such as worry, anger etc. I’ll be honest. This book should be a must read for any Christian. There was so much I loved about this book, the authors communication style, the importance of the topic, the practical application, and the fact that the author made me think, even if she did step on my toes but it’s all good. I so needed this wake up call.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very informative!
Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2021
I received a free copy of this book, but my opinion is my own.

This book was very informative! It helped me think of different ways to handle various topics that we come across when witnessing that I had never thought of before. It will definitely be a book I will go back and reference when I need help in a particular area, as the chapters are laid out so that information on a specific topic is easy to find.

I read this together with a group of friends. This book is encouraging and helped me use the word of God to deal with issues in my life: worry, fear, guilt. Easy to read and use. It is not a self-help book, but teaches you how to use to use the sword (the bible) against the lies of the enemy.

This was a well written book dealing with many of the struggles Christians face. I was impressed with the wealth of information and research that had gone into this book. This is a book I want to read again and again. And this is a book that should studied in every church because it shows practical ways of dealing with issues Christians face.

5.0 out of 5 stars Following this helps move God's truth from the head to the heart
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 10, 2020
Verified Purchase
My best commendation of this book is that putting it into practice really makes a difference in believing and living out God's promises, discerning truth from error and enjoying all that God has for us in Christ.
The book itself is engaging and accessible, with a good Scriptural background.

I mention the commendation above as I was fortunate to have the writer share an original draft a few years ago. Following the advice of truly memorising relevant Scripture has helped shift truths from the head to the heart.

The book is realistic about the battle for the mind and how long it can take to be spiritually fit. See chapter 4!

I am pleased that this book has been published and trust it will be of benefit to many.

I found this to be a valuable book as it helped me to focus on the wonderful truths and promises in God's word. At first I skipped ahead to the chapters on the struggles I most often face, but I went back and read all the chapters as they were so helpful.

4.0 out of 5 stars Practical and easy to read
Reviewed in Australia on September 13, 2020

From the opening introduction, I realised this was going to be an edifying book. The author didn't promise a quick self-help list of things to do to gain victory in my life. Instead, she offered insightful suggestions backed up with references to see how they fitted together. At the end of the chapters, there are Reflective Questions. I usually skip these sections but decided to maximise the reading experience and give this section my full attention. I was pleasantly surprised by the answers that these questions drew out of me. There were also some suggestions for prayer, to practically apply the lessons learned in my own life. I found that invaluable.
I highly recommend this book. The author has included lots of additional reading suggestions for those readers who are looking to go deeper into this complex topic.

Reviewed in Australia on December 23, 2021

I found this a valuable, but uncomfortable, book to read! Why uncomfortable? Because it forced me to confront my spiritual flabbiness and do something about it. The things Dillon points out about spiritual warfare are very important and all too seldom addressed in churches. The sword fighting strategies she presents are also very important, and are accessible and practical.
