The Sword of The Spirit is the only offensive weapon in the arsenal listed in Chapter six of Ephesians because it is the most powerful weapon one can have , also known as the Word of God.
We read in Ephesians 6:12 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: and understand that God Himself is the greatest protector of His people and true believers will stand strong on the terrible Day of the Lord. We read more of the Word of God referred to as a sword in Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
True believers are equipped with the One Sword that will protect them while facing spiritual battles in this life and the protection is the almighty strength and power of God’s Word. One final passage to make clear who and how this Sword protects us for this day unto everlasting life is found in Revelation 13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. 15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
May the Lord's greatest blessings be yours,

Poetry
Guided
He is with me while I walk.
I pray to my Lord; yes, we talk.
Throughout the moments of each day,
He writes on my heart and shows me the way.
In His hand, He cares for me.
From my sins, He made me free.
Shaping me new with different sight,
And placed on His path lit with His light.
Jesus Christ is all I need.
Daily, from His Book I read.
Each page holds my Savior’s face,
that speaks of His mercy, love and grace.
Lord of Glory is my guide
In His love, I’ll always abide.
In His spirit, I gather with others
Giving praise with my sisters and brothers.
John 16:13
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come,
he will guide you into all truth:
for he shall not speak of himself;
but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak:
and he will shew you things to come.
